How old is the term "Sanatan Dharma"

Mahabharat has mentioned ‘Sanatana Dharma’: 157 times.
Ramayana has mentioned it 8 times.
Manusmriti has mentioned it 7 times.
Bhagavata Puran has mentioned it 8 times.
Kurma Puran has mentioned it 10 times.
Garuda Puran has mentioned it 4 times.

Don’t fall for Audrey Truschke’s claim that “Sanatana Dharma” was coined in the 19th century during British colonialism.
