The Purana Index

by V.R. Ramachandra Dikshitar

Three Volume Set:

A comprehensive Index to all the Purans was desideratum. Puranas constititue an important branch of Indian literature Prof. V.R. Ramachandra set himself on this work intially on five Mahapuranas viz. Vayu, Brahmanda, Matsya, Vinsu, and Bhagavata. The present work is in three parts. The work is exhaustive in nature and covers the vast and varied field of ancient Indian culture in all aspects.

Access to this most important surviving work of classical Vaisesika and comparison of its different versions have been hindered by the lack of a word index covering all the existing editions. This book provides such a tool.
