It is very difficult to say as to what extent the events narrat­ed in the epics are historical facts. The facts and fictions have been so inter-linked in the narration that one has to be very careful in separating the two.

It cannot be denied that through these epics contain a good deal of mythology and legends they throw a flood of light on the post-Vedic society. From these two epics we are also able to form art idea about the expansion of the Aryans.
