Puranic literature is full of metaphor and imagery. Events are drawn on gigantic canvas to keep the spirit of the times alive for generations to come and they have succeeded because even today the recounting of the events of the puranic times is a matter of wonderous emotional and spiritual journey and it unfailingly inspires us to rise beyond our petty self to the greater glory of living. To put puranic literature through the rigours of a scientific theory is akin to limiting poetry to the literature of traffic rules.
