Itihäsa - (1) history in general. (2) a book which contains instructions on dharma, artha, käma, and mokña, and narrations of ancient events (dharmärtha-käma-mokñäëäm upadeça-samanvitam pürva-våta kathä-yuktam itihäsaà pracakñate). This definition is quoted in Gauòéya-Vaiñëava-abhidhäna. (3) the fifth Veda. According to both çruti and småti, the Itihäsa and the Puräëas are considered the fifth Veda. Çrémad-Bhägavatam (3.12.39) states, itihäsa-puräëäni païcamaà vedam; and (1.4.20), itihäsa puräëaï ca païcamo veda ucyate. In his commentary on (1.4.20), Jéva Gosvämé quotes the Mahäbhärata (Mokña-dharma 340.21), vedän adhyäpayämäsa mahäbhärata-païcamän iti, “Vyäsa taught the Vedas along with the fifth of their number, the Mahäbhärata.” Similarly in Manu-småti (3.232) it is said, äkhyänänétihäsaàç ca. In his Manu-vartha-muktävalé commentary on this çloka, Kullüka Bhaööa (a celebrated commentator on Manusmåti from the twelfth century) states, itihäsän mahäbhäratädén, “The word itihäsän refers to the Mahäbhärata and other literature.”


These references establish that the word itihäsa specifically refers to the Mahäbhärata. Within the Mahäbhärata is found the Bhagavad-Gétä, which is accepted as the essence of all the Vedas even by Çré Çaìkaräcärya, who states in the introduction to his Gétä commentary, tad idaà gétä-çästraà samasta-vedärtha-särasaìgraha-bhütam, “This Gétä-çästra is the essence of the purport of all the Vedas.” This further confirms that the itihäsa is part of the body of Vedic literature. Çruti itself (Chändogya Upaniñad 7.1.2) declares that the Itihäsa and Puräëas are the fifth Veda among the body of Vedic literature, itihäsaà puräëaà païcamaà vedänäà vedam.
