Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Brihaddharma Purana was a Bengali Sanskrit literary work from the 13th century. Because Bengal is close to the sea, fish is the region's primary food. However, non-vegetarian eating was not permitted for Bengali Brahmins. Because fish was so popular in the local diet, Brahmanical authorities were forced to ease the ban on Bengali Brahmins. As a result, the Brihaddarma Purana was composed to allow local Brahmans to consume particular varieties of fish. The Brihaddharma Purana also contains information on the positions of gods and goddesses. The Brihaddharma Purana is significant because it reflects the situation of religion and society in Bengal during the Kali period.
