Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaMahīdāsa (महीदास).—An ācārya (Preceptor). He is believed to be the author of "Aitareya Brāhmaṇa" and "Aitareya Āraṇyaka".
According to Chāndogyopaniṣad and Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa, Mahīdāsa lived for 117 years. Although this ācārya was a victim of diseases he was quite indifferent to the painful sufferings caused by them. (Chāndogyopaniṣad 3; 16; 7—Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa, 4; 2; 11).
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
