A scholar knowing all lores understands them by means of his pure vision of knowledge. [...] O mountain, these are the three types of behaviour as mentioned in the treatises on polity (nīti-śāstrodita). Tell me which type of behaviour shall I adopt to please you. [...]”.
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.
