Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaSomāśrayāyaṇa (सोमाश्रयायण).—An ancient holy place situated in the basin of the Gaṅgā. The Pāṇḍavas visited this holy place while they were on their way to Pāñcāla from Ekacakrā. It was in this place that Citraratha the Gandharva who had been defeated by Arjuna, had enjoyed bathing sports with girls. It was because of these two facts that Somāśrayāyaṇa became a holy place. (Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 169, Verse 3).
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.
