AGNI PURANA Preliminaries In the forest that is known as Naimisharanya, Shounaka and the other rishis (sages) were performing a yajna (sacrifice) dedicated to the Lord Vishnu. Suta had also come there, on his way to a pilgrimage. The Skanda Purana consists of 20 books, here they are in the English translation. This version is the first edition of the English translation published in India in 1950.

The Puranas (Sansk. Purana, from ancient times) are old vedic texts and eulogies of various gods mixed with representations of Hindu heroes, philosophy, cosmology and the age (Yugas).
Several Jain scriptures and various Buddhist texts are also counted among the Puranas.Although Vyasa is often regarded as the originator of the Puranas, the earliest Hindu Puranas come from the Gupta period (about 320 to 550 AD).
Pancha Lakshana
A Mahapurana must satisfy the 5 characteristics (pancha lakshana):
* Description of the original creation of the universe (sarga) (sarga)
* Description of the periodic process of creation and resurrection (pratisaryga)[3]
* Description of the different periods (manvantara),
* The stories of the solar dynasty (surya vamsha) and the lunar dynasty (chandra vamsha)
* The royal genealogies (vamshanucharita)
From the esoteric point of view the puranas are rather allegorical representations of sections of the Yogapath as in the Matsya-Purana, which secured the transmission of the inner doctrine.
Mahapuranas
In Hinduism, there are 18 Maha-Puranas, which mainly refer to the gods of the Trimurti.They are mostly attributed to the sage Vyasa.The Devi Bhagavata divides them into three groups:
* Brahma (Brahma-Purana, Brahmanda-Purana, Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Markandeya-Purana, Bhavishya-Purana, Vamana-Purana)

The Bhagavata Purana, literally meaning Divine-Eternal Tales of The Supreme Lord, is considered the most important of the Puranas. The Puranas are believed to be compiled by Vyasa, the narrator and Bhagavad Gita, whose birth is dated at 3.374 BC. The Puranas, along with the Vedas and Itihaasas form the massive religious bedrock of the intellectual Hindu tradition.
These literary works of high quality go back in time to perhaps more than five millennia. In The Bhagavata Purana, complex religious and spiritual concepts like Advaita, Yoga, Bhakti, and Dharma are introduced for the first time.
