Shiva Purana
The English translation of the Shiva Purana, one of the eighteen major Puranas. Contents include cosmology, mythology, yoga, description of sacred places (tirtha), geography, etc. The text is an important source for Shaivism and some of the oldest surviving content deals with Advaita-Vedanta philosophy and theistic Bhakti (devotion).
This edition of the Shiva Purana is based on the 1906 manuscript which contains seven sections (Samhita) and a total of 457 chapters (adhyaya). However, the Purana itself asserts to be a redaction of an original text consisting of 12 Samhitas and 100,000 Sanskrit verses (sloka).
Origina Sanskrit title: Śivapurāṇa (शिवपुराण) and Śivamahāpurāṇa (शिवमहापुराण).
