Incidences mentioned in the Vedic literatures such as the Puranas, Mahabharata and Ramayana etc. all are factual historical narrations which took place sometimes in the past although not in any chronological order. Such historical facts being instructive for the ordinary men they were assorted without any chronological reference. Besides that such historical facts are incidences of different planets nay different universes and as such the description of the narrations are sometimes measured by three dimentions. We are simply concerned only with the instructive lessons of such incidences even they are not in order of our limited range of understanding. Bhismadeva described such narrations of different histories before Maharaj Yudhisthir in reply to his different querries.
