Executive Officer The Hindu structure of religion is founded on the ground of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Tirupati Puranas in particular. The Puranas are widely spread as documents of different Hindu religious sects. Siva puranam is an Indian Epic of Lord Siva narrating number of devine tales of mystic nature. The Saivite stories are very D.T.P. interesting, innovative, idealistic, devotional and guidelines to human Office of the Editor-in-Chief T.T.D., Tirupati beings.

There flourishes the Ekasila town, in the Siddhavatam Taluk in I hope that this great book will go a long way to infuse blend the Cuddapah district. The golden vessels entrenched on the towers of the temple of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana, in that pilgrim centre, of spiritual harmony among all devotees. otherwise known as ‘Onti Mitta’, beckoned to me. In the Service of the Lord Taking the sacred dip in the ‘Rama Tirtha’ lake, I paid my Tirupati reverential respects to the shining idols of Rama, Sita and 10-2-2013 Lakshmana, in the sanctum sanctorum built by king Vasumanta. L.V. Subrahmanyam, I.A.S. As I offered my worship and received the sacrament from the Executive Officer, priest, I felt the mystic presence of Lord Rama commanding me to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams write the ‘Siva Puranamu’. There and then I decided to compose this work and offer it to Lord Rama. Of the eighteen Puranas, the Sivapuranam, revels in matchless revelation of the non-sectarian nature of the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent state of Lord Siva. Although I consulted the Sanskrit original text containing 24000 slokas and eleven chapters, I adapted it independently the most intelligible method of narration. Besides the original work, the ‘Siva Puranamu’ of the late Sri Naga Virayya Sastri helped me a great deal. I tried my best to make the narration readable. The first Part includes the wedding of Parvati and of Valli; the second, the glory of Visvesvara and the tales of various devotees of Lord Siva. In offering this humble work to the reading public I hope to promote not only the worship of Lord Siva but also the innate consciousness of godhead in all human beings. In the fatherhood of God is the best promotion of brotherhood of man. D.S.R.

NOTICE. Having completed the Udyoga Parva I enter the Bhishma. The preparations being completed, the battle must begin. But how dan- gerous is the prospect ahead ? How many of those that were counted on the eve of the terrible conflict lived to see the overthrow of the great Knru captain ? To a KsJtatriya warrior, however, the fiercest in- cidents of battle, instead of being appalling, served only as tests of bravery that opened Heaven's gates to him. It was this belief that supported the most insignificant of combatants fighting on foot when they rushed against Bhishma, presenting their breasts to the celestial weapons shot by him, like insects rushing on a blazing fire. I am not a Kshatriya. The prespect of battle, therefore, cannot be unappalling or welcome to me. On the other hand, I frankly own that it is appall- ing. If I receive support, that support may encourage me. I am no Garuda that I would spurn the strength of number* when battling against difficulties. I am no Arjuna conscious of superhuman energy and aided by Kecava himself so that I may eHcounter any odds.

Battle and Self-Sacrifice in a Bengali Warrior’s Epic: Lausen’s Quest to be a Raja in Dharma Ma2gal* INTRODUCTION Plots and Themes harma Ma2gal are long, narrative Bengali poems that explain and justify the worship of Lord Dharma as the D eternal, formless, and supreme god. Surviving texts were written between the mid-seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the plots of Dharma Ma2gal, I hope to describe features of a precolonial Bengali warriors” culture. I argue that Dharma Ma2gal texts describe the career of a hero and raja, and that their narratives seem to be designed both to inculcate a version of warrior culture in Bengal, and to contain it by requiring self-sacrifice in both battle and “truth ordeals.” Dharma Ma2gal *I thank Ralph W.

    The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA PARVA translated by Kesari Mohan Ganguli In parentheses Publications Sanskrit Series Cambridge, Ontario 2002 Salya Parva Section I Om! Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. Janamejaya said, “After Karna had thus been slain in battle by Savyasachin, what did the small (unslaughtered) remnant of the Kauravas do, O regenerate one? Beholding the army of the Pandavas swelling with might and energy, what behaviour did the Kuru prince Suyodhana adopt towards the Pandavas, thinking it suitable to the hour? I desire to hear all this. Tell me, O foremost of regenerate ones, I am never satiated with listening to the grand feats of my ancestors.” Vaisampayana said, “After the fall of Karna, O king, Dhritarashtra’s son Suyodhana was plunged deep into an ocean of grief and saw despair on every side. Indulging in incessant lamentations, saying, ‘Alas, oh Karna! Alas, oh Karna!’ he proceeded with great difficulty to his camp, accompanied by the unslaughtered remnant of the kings on his side. Thinking of the slaughter of the Suta’s son, he could not obtain peace of mind, though comforted by those kings with excellent reasons inculcated by the scriptures. Regarding destiny and necessity to be all- powerful, the Kuru king firmly resolved on battle. Having duly made Salya the generalissimo of his forces, that bull among kings, O monarch, proceeded for battle, accompanied by that unslaughtered remnant of his forces. Then, O chief of Bharata’s race, a terrible battle took place between the troops of the Kurus and those of the Pandavas, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras.

The Aryans are the oldest race on earth and the most * advanced and the is their first ; Ramayana and grandest epic. The Eddas of Scandinavia, the Niebelungen Lied of Germany, the Iliad of Homer, the Enead of Virgil, the Inferno, the Purgatorio, and the Paradiso of Dante, the Paradise Lost of Milton, the Lusiad of Camcens, the Shah Nama of Firdausi are and no more the Epics ; Ramayana of Valmeeki is an Epic and much more. If any work can clam} to be the Bible of the Hindus, it is the Ramayana of Valmeeki. Professor MacDonell, the latest writer on Samskritha Literature, says : " The Epic contains the following verse foretelling its everlasting fame * As long as moynfain ranges stand And rivers flow upon the earth, So long will this Ramayana Survive upon the lips of men. This prophecy has been perhaps even more abundantly fulfilled than the well-known prediction of Horace. No pro- duct of Sanskrit Literature has enjoyed a greater popularity in India down to the present day than the Ramayana. Its story furnishes the subject of many other Sanskrit poems as well as plays and still delights, from the lips* of reciters, the hearts of the myriads of the Indian people, as at the 11 PREFACE great annual Rama-festival held at Benares.
