Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Markandeya Purana, one of the eighteen Mahapuranas, is a key ancient Hindu text, traditionally attributed to the sage Markandeya. This Purana, which is part of the vast genre of texts preserving mythological stories, cosmological teachings, and philosophical discourses, contains a rich array of stories and hymns centered around creation, destruction, and the cycles of time. The text is notable for its focus on the deity Shiva, offering a detailed account of his cosmic functions and the worship of his various forms. One of the most famous sections in the Markandeya Purana is the Durga Saptashati or Chandi Path, a powerful hymn dedicated to the goddess Durga, illustrating her victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. This part of the Purana is widely recited in devotional practices, especially during the Durga Puja festival. The Markandeya Purana also discusses the creation and destruction of the universe, the genealogies of kings, and the lives of numerous sages. Its teachings emphasize devotion (bhakti), the significance of righteous living (dharma), and the belief in cyclical time (kalachakra), where creation and dissolution are ongoing processes governed by divine will. F. Eden Pargiter's translation and study of the Markandeya Purana has helped make this ancient text accessible to a wider audience, contributing to the understanding of Hindu mythology and philosophy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: ENGLISH. About the Book:-This translation of the Markandeya Purana being made for the Asiatic Society of Bengal naturally follows the edition of this work prepared by the Rev. Dr. K. M. Banerjea, and published in the Biblio- theca Indica in 1862; yet other editions and some MSS have been consulted and are referred to. The translation has been kept as close to the original as possible, consistently with English sense and idiom; for a translation loses some of its interest and much of its trustworthiness, when the reader can never know whether it reproduces the original accurately or only the import of the original. The time during which the work has been in hand has rendered it difficult to maintain one system of transliteration throughout; but, in order to place the whole in a consistent state. The general character of this Purana has been well summed up by Prof. Wilson in his preface to his translation of the Visnu Purana, except that his description hardly applies to the Devi-Mahatmaya. "This Purana has a character different from that of all the others. It has nothing of a sectarian spirit, little of a religious tone; rarely inserting prayers and invocations to any deity; and such as are inserted are brief and moderate. It deals little in precepts, ceremonial or moral. Its leading feature is narrative; and it presents an uninterrupted succession of legends, most of which when ancient are embellished with new circumstances, and when new partake so far of the spirit of the old, that they are disinterested creations of the imagination, having no particular motive, being designed to re- commend no specific doctrine or observance. About the Author:-Frederick Eden Pargiter (1852 - 1927) was a British civil servant and Orientalist. Born in 1852, he studied at Taunton Grammar School and Exeter College, Oxford where he passed in 1873 with a first-class in mathematics. He passed the Indian Civil Service examinations and embarked for India in 1875. He served in India from 1875 to 1906 becoming Under-Secretary to the Government of Bengal in 1885, District and Sessions Court judge in 1887 and a judge of the Calcutta High Court in 1904. He voluntarily retired in 1906 following the death of his wife and returned to the United Kingdom. He died at Oxford on 18 February 1927 in his seventy-fifth year.
