| | The standard of valid knowledge |
 | | Moreover, even if (Itihasa and Puranas) are considered to belong to the class of sastras which illuminate the meaning of the Vedas, still, they excel all others due to the eminence of their expounder (Vyasa). | | | If it were not the case (that Itihasa and Puranas are Vedic in nature), then the characterization of them as the "fifth" in the preceding verses would be unwarranted, since only things of the same kind can be combined to form a single sum. | | | Vayu Purana explains why Itihasa and Puranas are considered the fifth Veda: "Thus almighty Lord, Bhagavan (Vyasa) appointed me [Suta Goswami] to be the authoritative expounder of Itihasa and Puranas. |

| | Itihasa includes narration of past events concerning all the facets of human life-material, moral and spiritual. | | | Indian approach, as the word Itihasa means, has all the time remained integrated, taking man as a spiritual as well as material constituent of nature. | | | On the basis of this approach towards animate and inanimate world, Itihasa has tried to ingrain moral values in every individual of the Hindu society as one constituent of the whole nature. |

| | Review: Ways of Understanding the Human Past |
| | These days itihasa is taken to be the Sanskrit equivalent of the English word 'history'. | | | That partly explains why we cannot view ourselves and our culture under the aspect of eternity. | | | Before composing the Mahabharata, it is said, Vyasa compiled the materials of the original Puranas and handed the same down to one of his disciples and also he taught him what is itihasa. |

| | It will discuss how this past straddles "modern" conventions of history and "traditional" Indian notions of itihasa to combine an attention to chronology and temporality with a belief in the divinity of the founder of the sect. | | | This paper will explore the ways in which history becomes "a negotiable and reworkable resource" by focusing on the construction of an itihasa within a primarily lower caste and tribal sectarian formation, Mahima Dharma, of nineteenth century Orissa. | | | These moves place the founder within tradition and outside history. |

| | The Ways of Understanding the Human Past |
| | The English world ‘history’ is ordinarily translated as ‘itihasa’ in the Sanskrit-rooted Indian languages. | | | It is widely acknowledged that an idea expressed in one language, if translated into another, its meaning and its associated understanding undergo change. | | | Chattopadhyaya has tried to argue in this book that the modern scientific concept of history, though has its undeniable importance, should not be understood in a dehistorised manner. |

| | The name of Itihasa has created a congenial nature with the desire to associate in friendship and understanding both socially and in the business world. | | | Peaceful and settled conditions appeal to you and you are naturally desirous of having the security of a home, where your life could follow a definite pattern, and where you would not have to make major decisions. | | | Although the name Itihasa creates the urge to understand others, we emphasize that it limits your vision, tuning you to technical details. |
