He was spotless and handsome in every part of his body. He was huge in size and had all brilliance, strength and valour. She gave him various clothes and ornaments. She blessed him with benediction and said—‘You are my son. You are my own. I have none else to call my own’. [...]”.
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.
