Description

The Brahmavaivarta Purana is one of the eighteen major Mahapuranas and an important source for the study of Hindu religious thought, mythology and Puranic literature.

Traditionally attributed to Vedavyasa, the work communicates philosophical and religious teachings through sacred narratives, legends and dialogues. It is particularly associated with teachings concerning Krishna and the nature of Brahman, while preserving an extensive body of material reflecting Vedic culture and India’s philosophical and devotional traditions.

This complete two-volume edition presents the original Sanskrit text with an English translation. It is especially valuable for scholars, libraries, students and serious readers of Hindu scripture, Sanskrit literature and classical Indian thought.

Condition

Both volumes have been physically checked and are in excellent condition. The dust jacket of Volume II has a very slight cosmetic imperfection. Complete copies of this substantial Sanskrit-English edition are difficult to obtain through ordinary U.S. booksellers.
