Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: IGNCA, Purana Bulletin: The Sarasvati PuranaSarasvatīpurāṇa (सरस्वतीपुराण) is a local Purāṇa of the Gujarat. It has 2890 verses and 18 sargas. Seven manuscripts of this Purāṇa are available. Only sargas 15 and 16 are critically edited and translated in Gujarati [...]. As the name suggests, it describes the tīrthas on the bank of Sarasvatī, as well as the brief historical sketch of the Gujarat through which it flows. It was composed during the reign of king Siddharaja Jaysimha of Anahillapur Patan of Gujarat. It is very difficult to fix the exact date of this Purāṇa. [...] The Sarasvatīpurāṇa gives in details some of the glorious deeds of the king Siddhraj of Patan. He was learned, generous, and brave king of Gujarat. He invited many scholars to his Court. He was Śaiva by religion and he had a desire to build many temples and other monuments all over Gujarat. He built a great lake Sahasraliṅga at Patan. It was filled in with the waters of the river Sarasvatī through a big canal. It was a very big lake having one thousand Śaiva temples, one hundred and eight Devī temples and the shrines of ten incarnations of the Lord Viṣṇu on the bank of it. [...]

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
