Learned

In the Prabhasa-khanda of the Skanda Purana (5.3.121-124) it is said –

veda-van niscalam manye puranartham dvijottamah
vedah pratisthitah sarve purane natra samsayah

bibhety-alpa-srutad vedo mam ayam calayisyati
itihasa-puranais tu niscalo’yam krtah purah

yan na drstam hi vedesu tad drstam smrtisu dvijah
ubhayor yan na drstam hi tat puranah pragiyate
yo veda caturo vedan sangopanisado dvijah
puranam naiva janati na ca sa syad vicaksana

" O best of the brahmanas, the meaning of the Puranas is unchanging just like that of the Vedas. The Vedas are all sheltered within the Puranas without a doubt. The Veda has a fear that unqualified people will read her and then distort her meaning. Thus, the significance of the Veda was fixed in the Puranas and Itihasas. That which is not found in the Vedas is found in the Smrti. That which is not found in the Smrti is to be found in the Puranas. Those who know even the Vedas and Upanisads are not learned if they do not know the Puranas."

History

Puranas are not mythology but historical facts. The difference between
history and puranas is that history is written in chronological order
and it is not so in puranas.

Merit

In the Vedas, in the Ramayana, and in the sacred Bharata,

https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/Veda

O chief of Bharata’s race, Hari is sung in

1. the beginning, 
2. the middle, and at 
3. the end. 

http://harekrishnainfo.blogspot.com/search/label/Hari

That in which occur excellent statements relating to Vishnu, and the eternal Srutis, should be listened to by men desirous of attaining to the highest goal. This treatise is sanctifying. This is the highest indicator as regards duties; this is endued with every merit. One desirous of prosperity should listen to it.


Sins committed

1. by means of the body, 
2. by means of words, and 
3. by means of the mind, are all destroyed (through listening to the Bharata) as Darkness at sunrise. 

One devoted to Vishnu acquires (through this) that merit which is acquired by listening to the eighteen Puranas.
