| Summary |
Skandapurāṇa V presents a critical edition of Adhyāya s 92-112 from the Skandapurāṇa , with an introduction and annotated English synopsis. The text edited in this volume includes the extensive myth of Viṛṇu's manifestation as the Boar (Varāha), who conquers Hiraṇyākṛa and wins back the Earth for the gods; its aftermath, which involves the birth of Varāha's son Vq̣ka and Skanda's finishing of Viṛṇu's Boar manifestation; Devī's instructions to the goddesses about donations, fasts and penances; and the continuation of the Andhaka cycle. The introduction addresses the incorporation of Vaiṛṇava mythology in the text, the composition and revision of Adhyāya 112 in the different recensions, and the Dharmanibandha citations of Devī's teachings. |
