[...] The sages and Brahmins, Bhṛgu and other sages sat in separate rows and took their food with pleasure. The Gaṇas of Caṇḍī took their meals (kṛtabhājana) and then cracked jokes and talked merrily. [...]”.
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.
