Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyŚravaṇadvādaśīvrata (श्रवणद्वादशीव्रत) or simply Śravaṇadvādaśī refers to type of Vrata (“religious observances”), according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—The Śravaṇadvādaśī-vrata is described in the Saurapurāṇa (15.3ff) by the Sun-god to Yājñavalkya. The twelfth tithi is very dear to Viṣṇu. It is called vaiṣṇavī-tithi. If the twelfth tithi of Śuklapakṣa is united with Śravaṇa-nakṣatra it is called vijayā-dvādaśī.
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.
