Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana狈补谤补蝉颈峁僪补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 (啶ㄠぐ啶膏た啶傕す啶啶班ぞ啶�) refers to one of the eighteen Major Puranas according to the Brahm膩峁囜笉apur膩峁嘺 and other traditional lists of Puranic literature: a category of ancient Sanskrit texts which gives a huge contribution in the development of Indian literature.鈥擳he lists of eighteen Mah膩pur膩峁嘺s (e.g., 苍补谤补蝉颈峁僪补辫耻谤腻峁嘺) and eighteen Upapur膩峁嘺s are not same everywhere, as some names are dropped in some references whereas some are included in others. It can be noticed that, except the V膩yuapur膩峁嘺 and the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺, the names of the Mah膩pur膩峁嘺s are similar in almost all the Pur膩峁嘺s.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 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.

Seeing the Earth in plight, there arose from his mind (citta) the form of Var膩ha (1-9). Then he relates the age-old story concerning Narasi峁僪a (苍腻谤补蝉颈峁僪补辫耻谤腻峁嘺), wherein the gods, troubled by the demon Hira峁噛aka艣ipu, appealed to Aniruddha for help; his mind (citta) goes out to meet the problem in the form of Narasi峁僪a (10-26). The story of the Matsya-presence taken by Sa峁僰ar峁峁嘺 to restore the lost Vedas is then narrated (27-35a), followed by the tale of how Sa峁僰ar峁峁嘺 also took the form of the tortoise K奴rma (356-40). [...]
