## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A good introduction to Hindu treasures
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012*

There is a score main Puranas and even more other Puranas. The extant ones may be long, and can be aptly divided into sets of several volumes each, down to one-volumed books. For example, the Padma Purana in translation consists of ten volumes, the Brahma Purana consists of four, the Siva Purana of four comprehensive books. Granted that the extant texts are many and some of them long, the book by van Buitenen and Dimmitt serves as an introduction in the form of selected and abridged stories. As such it is a nice and good one in my opinion.The Puranas have taken their part in forming Indian culture and mentality, and still do. Stories of Krishna are found in some of them, for example.

    Well written, excellent citations and sources
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018*

Excellent writing, which reflects the amount of research and efforts in translating the original Puranas.

    Good, but a little long winded
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2012*

A little long winded at times, in fact at some points it kinda of reads like a text book for school.
