AGNIPURĀṆA (M).

1) General information. This is one of the eighteen

Purāṇas ascribed to Vyāsa. It is believed that this

Purāṇa was originally given orally (as advice) by Agni-

deva to many sages, devas and Sage Vasiṣṭha. It is a

vast comprehensive work dealing with every subject of

importance. To give a copy of this book to a good

Brahmin on the Full Moon day in the month of

Mārga Sīrṣa is supposed to be a highly virtuous and

meritorious deed.

2) Contents. This large Purāṇa consists of about 420

chapters. It deals in detail with the following subjects:

The Daśāvatāras of Mahāviṣṇu; Rāmāyaṇa; Mahā-

bhārata; rules and injunctions relating to the worship of

various gods (devapūjāvidhis); installation of idols in

temples (devatāpratiṣṭhā); Svapnamantras; astrology;

architecture and sculpture; Āyurveda; Viṣavaidya

(treatment of poisons from Snakebite etc.); the princi-

ples of the drama (Nāṭaka) and other allied arts;

figures of speech and all alaṃkāras in general; and

physiology of the human body. All these subjects are

treated in a detailed and scientific manner.
