Detailed Solution

Puranas are religious stories written in Sanskrit.
One of the Hindu sacred tales preserved in manuscript form is the Puranas. The word Purana, which means "ancient" in Sanskrit, refers to tales of gods like Shiva and Parvati. Tales of the world's creation, the monarchs, and information on how to worship these deities. They were written in straightforward Sanskrit and other Indian languages to ensure that everyone could hear and comprehend them. Even Shudras and women who were not permitted to study the Vedas could access them. Priests chanted them in temples so that everyone might hear them. The Mahabharat and the Ramayana are the two epics in Sanskrit, and Silappadikaram and Manimekalai are the two in Tamil.
