THE GARUDA PURANAM: BOOK I. Agastya Samhita

By Veda Vyasa

The Garuda Purana, a significant Hindu scripture, is traditionally ascribed to the revered ancient sage Veda Vyasa, renowned for compiling numerous sacred texts, including the epic Mahabharata. Initially published in 1908, this English version was translated, edited by Manmatha Nath Dutt (Shastri), M.A. The Garuda Purana consists of three Samhitas: - Agastya Samhita - Brihaspati Samhita, also known as Nitisara - Dhanvantari Samhita To make it easier for our readers, we've divided the complete Garuda Purana into these three separate books. This book is the first of the three. The Garuda Purana is an extensive text comprising 8,800 verses, covering a wide range of subjects. These include the creation of the universe, rituals (Pujas), sacred pools and shrines, cosmogony, geography, the ages of Manus, societal duties, charitable acts, the duties of rulers, laws, vows (Vratas), royal lineages, medical treatments with causes, Vedangas (auxiliary sciences of the Vedas), Pralaya (dissolution of the universe), and the principles of righteousness, desire, and prosperity. Moreover, it explores the knowledge of Brahma and the external world. Together, these topics serve as a comprehensive guide to various aspects of life and the cosmos as elucidated in the Garuda Purana.
