The Purana Index (3 Vols.)
Hardbound Edition: The Puranas are an infallible source of information on Indian history of religion, philosophy, culture and civilisation, the polity of society, arts and crafts, architecture and iconography besides royal dynasties and periods of their rule.

They were most probably imbued with the spirit of salient features of Buddhist compassion which in Mahayana stands for Mahakaruna and in Theravada is very often considered along with Anukampa, Upekkha and Metta. Numerous normal stories in the Puranas highlight the feelings of devotion, kindness, dutifulness and compassion. For the first time here compassion in the Tripitaka and Puranas have been critically estimated.
