Purāṇa

purana

Considered part of the Smṛti, the Purāṇa are texts with a variety of content. Cosmology, divine genealogies, astronomy, grammar, love stories... almost everything can be found within them. As such, even though they are not part of the Śruti, their influence on Hindu beliefs and society is strong, as they combine diverse local beliefs and traditions into the common narrative of the Vēdaḥ.
