The definition of Itihasa is इतिह आस्ते अस्मिन् - it contains advice for leading a meaningful life. They are based on real incidents of the past. The definition of Purana is पुरातनवृत्तान्तकथनम् - Puranas are narrations of past incidents. Itihasas are centered around a particular theme; Ramayana around Rama's life and Mahabharata around the Kuru Vamsha. A book can be called Purana only if it contains the following five: 1. Sarga - description of primary creation. 2. Pratisarga - description of secondary creation. 3. Vamsha - description of important Vamshas such as Surya Vamsha and Chandra Vamsha. 4. Manvantara - description of the 14 Manvantaras, Manus, Devas, Rishis, and avataras. 5. Vamshanucharita - description of the important persons in the Vamshas. पुराणं पञ्चलक्षणम् - Puranas should have these five characteristics.
A wise friend, A knowledgeable son, A chaste wife, A kind master, Someone who thinks before speaking, and Someone who thinks before acting. Each of these, with their qualities, enrich life without causing harm. A wise friend offers sound guidance, and a knowledgeable son brings pride and honor. A chaste wife symbolizes loyalty and trust. A kind master ensures well-being with compassion. Thoughtful speech and careful actions create harmony and trust, shielding life from conflict.
