Bhavisya Purana

Bhavisya Purana: Diese Purana, wie ihr Name es schon verrät, sollte ein Buch voll Prophezeiungen sein, die das vorhersagen, was geschehen wird." Die Exemplare bestehen aus etwa 7000 Strophen. Das Werk ist weit davon entfernt, mit dem vereinbarten Charakter dieser Purana übereinzustimmen. This Pura1,1a, as its name implies, should be a book of prophecies foretelling what will be." The copies discovered contain about 7000 stanzas. The work is far from agreeing with the declared character of a Pur ana, and is principally a manual of rites and ceremonies. Its deity is Siva. There is another work, containing also about 7000 verses, called the Bhaui~yottara Purd1Ja, a name which would imply that "it was a continuation or supplement ofthe former," and its contents are of a similar character. - Wilson.
