Puranas vis.a.vis Itihasas

The Puranas are ancient texts that narrate the origin of the universe, defined by the Pancha-Lakshanas: Sarga (creation of the universe), Pratisarga (cycles of creation and destruction), Vamsha (genealogy of gods, sages, and kings), Manvantara (ages of Manus), and Vamshanucharita (history of dynasties and significant figures). In contrast, Itihasa places emphasis on Lord Rama in the Ramayana and Lord Krishna in the Mahabharata, with the actions and lives of human beings associated with them.
