Cultural History from the Vayu Purana

The present book attempts to supplement the work of Pargiter on the Cultural plane.

Pargiter was concerned with the dynastic records of the Puranic texts while this book aims to interpret "e;cultural history"e; from the Vayu Purana.

The work is divided into ten chapters arranged systematically.

The first five chapters contain facts of intellectual culture and the last five of material culture.

The presentation of material has involved a great deal of translation and interpretation of the Puranic text.
