Roaring like a lion and accompanied by the gods who blazed with Viṣṇu’s splendour, he reached the place where Jalandhara was waiting. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
