In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study¸éÄå³¾Äå±¹²¹³ÙÄå°ù²¹ (रामावतार) refers to the “RÄma incarnationâ€� of Viṣṇu and was once depicted and worshipped in ancient Kashmir (KaÅ›mÄ«ra) as mentioned in the NÄ«lamatapurÄṇa.—According to the NÄ«lamata, Viṣṇu was born as a son of DaÅ›aratha in the line of Raghu, in the 24th TretÄ. The verse 1157 refers to a place named RÄmasvÄmÄ« which, as the ending svÄmÄ« shows, must have been associated with RÄma incarnation of Viṣṇu. No events of RÄma’s life are described in this work, but the mention of SÄ«tÄ, Laká¹£maṇa and Åšatrughna along with RÄma indicates familiarity with the story of the RÄmÄyaṇa.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) 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.
