Krishna's birth is celebrated every year as Janmashtami. Based on events according to legends in the Mahabharata and some Puranas, it is said that Krishna was a real historical person. For example, Lanavanya Vensani states that Krishna can be estimated to have appeared in the Puranas between 3227 BCE – 3102 BCE. In contrast, according to mythology in the Jain tradition Krishna was the cousin of Neminath, the 22nd Tirthankara of the Jains. Jain tradition from the 9th century believes that Neminath originated 84,000 years ago. "Guy Beck" states that Krishna – whether human or divine incarnation – refers to a real person in ancient India, who lived at least 1000 BC, but that from historical evidence, purely from the study of Sanskrit theory, It cannot be replaced.

Other scholars, such as Ludo Rocher and Hazra, say that the Purana is not a reliable source for "Indian history", as there are inconsistencies in the manuscripts written about the kings, various peoples, sages and kingdoms. They say that these stories are probably based on real events, which are based in science and in part embellished by fiction. For example the Matsya Purana states that the Kurma Purana has 18,000 verses, while the same text in the Agni Purana has 8,000 verses, and the Naradiya confirms that the Kurma manuscript has 17,000 verses. Puranic literature changed slowly over time, as well as the sudden deletion of many chapters and its replacement with new material. The present Puranas are completely different from those mentioned in those that existed before the 11th century, or even the 16th century. For example, a palm leaf manuscript discovered in Nepal dates back to 810 AD, but that letter is very different from versions of the older text that have been circulating in South Asia since the colonial era.
