Description

Visnu Purana is another extant Purana. The work commences with the date and the place of the consolidation of the Visnu Purana. Economic life is discussed in detail, including agriculture, animal husbandry, labour, professions, transport, coinage, trade, flora, and fauna.

The work concludes with a study of the religious life of the time in its various aspects. In the Appendix, a list of rivers, mountains, tribes, towns and countries of Bharata Varsa, as found in the Visnu Purana, is given. The importance of this work is further enhanced by the addition of relevant photographs and line drawings.
