Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute

1937

The gifts made to the Palicaratra Alcaryas are said to be productive of immense good ( VariTha 50 16 ). The study of the Paficaratra Samhitas and the observance of the rules of the Paficaratras are recommended next to the Vedas as the means of realising the Visnu—Brahma. [...] 1' After the twelve-year sacrifice is performed the former expiates the murder of a Brahmana and approaches the latter to hear about the results of actions ( karma-vipaka ) and the region of Yama. [...] That the author of the first section of the Varaha P. was acquainted with the Karma P. is shown by the verses common to the chapters narrating the stories of Gautama in the two Puranas. [...] Hence the date of the original chapters of the first section of the Varaha P. cannot be placed later than 1000 A. D. As in the Rudra-gitä of the Varaha P. the words Raudra and Pa-Supata have been used to mean the Agamic Saivas and their scriptures these chapters should not be placed later than the beginning of the ninth century As D. because the distinctive terms Saiva ' and Agama were well know [...] According to the Naradiya the Uttara-bhaga in which the interlocutors were Pulastya and the king Kuru treated of Dharma Tirtha-mahtmya and Puskara.1 Though the contents of the PfIrva--bhaga agree fully with those of the extant Varaha P. the Uttara-bhaga is not found at all in the latter.
