Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaAnukramaṇikāparva (अनुक्रमणिकापर्व).—The Mahābhārata is divided into 18 parvans. The first of them is called Ādi Parva and the first of its many sub-divisions is named Anukramaṇikā Parva. And, in this parva (Chapter) Ugraśravas (Sūtanandana) son of Lomaharṣaṇa begins telling the Bhārata story at the yajña (of 12 years' duration) held by Kulapati Śaunaka at the forest of Naimiśa. Vyāsa composing the Mahābhārata, the creation of the world, the greatness of the Mahābhārata, Vyāsa teaching his disciples the Mahābhārata—all this comes in this narration. (See Mahābhārata).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
