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.
Arthashastra (politics and welfare)
Source: archive.org: Kautilya’s ArthasastraVyuṣṭa (व्युष्ट), synonymous with Vyuṣṭi, Vyuṣa, Uṣas, and cognate with Vyaucchat, seems to signify a new year’s day, but not an ordinary dawn, as usually interpreted. The Vārāha-śrauta-sūtra divides the night into four parts, and calls them (1) pradoṣa, (2) niśi, (3) upavyuṣa, and (4) vyuṣṭa. The literal meaning of the word vyuṣṭa is “lighted” or “dawned”. The Vedic people seem to have called the fourth division of the night, light or dawn (uṣas or vyuṣṭa), when early sunrise during the midsummer drove out darkness an hour or two earlier than usual; and nakta, when darkness lingered longer in winter. They seem to have also called the five longest days of midsummer vyuṣṭis, and the sixth day vyuṣṭa or uṣas, as recognised by their length.
There can be no doubt that during the time of Cāṇakya, vyuṣṭa, the new year’s day, began with the first lunar day of the white half of Śrāvaṇa (July-August), and the year ended with the new moon of Āṣāḍha. (see preface of Kautilya Arthashastra)
Arthashastra (अर्थशास्त्र, arthaśāstra) literature concerns itself with the teachings (shastra) of economic prosperity (artha) statecraft, politics and military tactics. The term arthashastra refers to both the name of these scientific teachings, as well as the name of a Sanskrit work included in such literature. This book was written (3rd century BCE) by by Kautilya, who flourished in the 4th century 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.
