The Yuga Purana

 
John E. Mitchiner (Author)
Synopsis The Yuga-Purana is unique in being the only Indian text that refers in any detail to Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian incursions into Central India. It also contains what is almost certainly the earliest account of the four Yugas—the ages of man—in a form that was later adopted by both the Mahabharata and the Puranas. It is thus a key text for the study of both a period of early Indian history and the evolution of Indian ideas of time. In his latest revised edition of this work, Dr. Mitchiner presents the definitive text of the Yuga-Purana based on all known manuscripts, including new additions that he has uncovered since the first edition was published. This is accompanied by a full and detailed study of the issues raised by the Yuga-Purana.
