Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaSodaryavān (सोदर्यवान्).—A chariot of Indra. The peculiarity of this chariot was that two chariot-fighters could sit and fight at the same time in this. It is mentioned in Mahābhārata, Sabhā Parva, Chapter 24, Verse 12, that Indra had, sitting in this chariot, killed ninetynine asuras (demons). This chariot passed hands from Indra to Uparicaravasu; from him to Bṛhadratha, and from this King to Jarāsandha, on whose death, Indra took possession of it again. (Mahābhārata Sabhā Parva, Chapter 24, Verse 48).
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.
