Apart from this, the story of Emperor Prithu is also included, due to which our earth was named Prithvi. In this Purana there is history of Suryavanshi and Chandravanshi kings. The national identity of India is centuries old, the evidence of which is found in the following verse of Vishnu Purana: Uttaram Yatsamudrasya Himadreschaiva Dakshinam. Varsam tad Bharatam naam Bharati yatra santatih. (In simple words this means that the geographical area which is surrounded by Himalayas in the north and ocean in the south is the country of India and all the people residing in it are the children of the country of India. ) What can be a clear identification of the country and the people of India than this?

Ordinary people hesitate to read this book because this book is read-only after the death of a relative or acquaintance. In fact, in this Purana, after rebirth after death, the scientific condition of the embryo located in the womb has been symbolically described, which has been given the name of river Vaitarni, etc. 

Till that time there was no scientific information about the development of the embryo in all of Europe. In English literature, John Bunyan’s work The Pilgrim’s Progress appears to be inspired by this text, which depicts an Evangelist exhorting man to become a Christian so that he can escape from hell.

18. *Brahmand Purana* –

There are 12000 verses in Brahmand Purana and three parts namely Purva, Madhya and Uttar. It is believed that Adhyatma Ramayana was a part of Brahmanda Purana which is now a separate book. In this Purana, the planets located in the universe have been described. 

The history of many Suryavanshi and Chandravanshi kings is also compiled. Since the creation of the universe, seven Manovantaras (Kaal) have elapsed, which have been described in detail in this book. The story of Parashurama is also given in this Purana. This book can be called the world’s first astronomy. 

The sages of India had also taken the knowledge of this Purana to Indonesia, the evidence of which is found in the language of Indonesia.

Like Hindu mythological history, in other countries also the stories of great human beings, demons, gods, kings, and ordinary citizens are prevalent. The names of many have also deteriorated due to variations in pronunciation and languages, such as Harikul Ish to Hercules, Kashyapa Sagar to Caspian Si, and Shambhusihan to Shin Bu Sin, etc.
Takshashila became Takshashila and Takshakhand became Tashkent in the name of Takshak. These details definitely point to some historical event or the other.

In ancient times, history, narrative, Samhita, and Purana were used in the same sense. There was no custom of writing history and the kings have associated their genealogies with the sun and moon dynasties even with the powers of imagination. Therefore, mythology is a mixture of history, literature, and legends.

Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas are valuable sources of our ancient history, which have been left untouched as mere literature. In order to reconnect the disturbed chains of history, we have to do research on Puranas and epics.
