Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary studyGhṛtapāyasa (घृतपायस) refers to “milk-porridge of rice mixed with purified butter”, forming part of a common diet in ancient Kashmir (Kaśmīra) as mentioned in the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—Ghṛta-pāyasa is recommended for eating on the full-moon day of Pauṣa (verse 476). Most of the references to the articles of diet occur in the Nīlamata in connection with the offerings made to the gods but it is not difficult to infer from them the food and drink of the common people because “what a man eats his gods eat”.
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.
