The Purana Index (3 Vols.)

Hardbound Edition:

The Puranas are an infallible source of information on Indian history of religion, philosophy, culture and civilisation, the polity of society, arts and crafts, architecture and iconography besides royal dynasties and periods of their rule. It was long felt that a comprehensive Index of the Puranas was a desideratum. We have an Index to Vedic literature by Macdonell and Keith; we have also gone to the Mahabharata by Sorensen; then why not a similar Index to all the eighteen major and an equal number of the minor Puranas which constitute an important branch of Indian literature?
