Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaDevadyuti (देवद्युति).—A Ṛṣi who dwelt in his āśrama on the banks of river Śarasvatī. Owing to the blessing of Viṣṇu a son called Sumitra was born to him. As a result of his doing rigorous tapas for 1000 years he shone with a rare effulgence. Though Viṣṇu appeared to him one day in the month of Vaiśākha and asked him to choose any boon he wanted, he, who was so much detached in life prayed only for devotion to God. (Padma Purāṇa, Uttara Khaṇḍa, Chapter 212).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
