IO SAN 2177b

Agastya-Saṃhitā of the Skanda-Purāṇa

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Agastya-Saṃhitā of the Skanda-Purāṇa

In 23 adhyāyas.

Neither in the work itself nor in the colophons is the work assigned to the Skandapurāṇa, but according to the extracts of IO San 390, Agastyasaṃhitā of the Skanda purāṇa is also called Śāṅkarī Saṃhitā. It is by no means certain that this is really the work there referred to. In some of the forms and formulas of worship it propounds, the work indeed verges very much on the Tantric type. Though it is distinctly stated that the Agastyasaṃhitā, like the present work, was communicated by Śiva to Pārvatī, one would expect th esubject matter of the principal work of the Śāṅkarī Saṃhitā to be on Śiva-worship.

For another Ms. of this work (beginning in the middle of the adhy. I.v.10b) see Weber, Berlin Cat., no. 1525.
