sUta samhita and skandha purANa

[Guest guest]

praNAms Advaitins,

 

Shri Adi Shankara is said to have read sUta samhita, a section of skandha

purANa. I think (according on the following wiki link to this purANA

that this purANa is divided either as samhitas or Khandas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skanda_Purana

 

The following link from Maharishi University of this purANa seems to refer

to the Khanda division of the purANA.

http://is1.mum.edu/vedicreserve/skanda.htm

 

So, can the someone help me with links to the adhyatmic sections of

this purANa, as well as any online links to the complete sUta samhita?

 

praNAms again,

Thanks

Ramakrishna

There is a palm-leaf manuscript of the Suutasa.mhitaa in the Wellcome

collection. It says that it is from the Skandapuraa.na. --

The SUtAsaMhitA is a text included in (or connected with) the Skanda-

purANa. The only edition of this text I am aware of was published in

Pune in

1924-25 as the No.25 of the AnandASrama Sanskrit Series, along with

MAdhava's commentary TAtparyadIpikA. By the way, it is a book almost

impossible to handle without seriously damaging it, like all the old

editions of the AnandASrama. To read it means to destroy it. My copy

is precisely half-destroyed.

The Suta Samhita, which is part of the Skanda Purana, is little read

nowadays, but in ancient times it had enormous authority and

influence. In an introduction to an edition of this work that

Bhagavan kept for reference, the editor notes that there is a

tradition that Adi-Sankaracharya read the Suta Samhita eighteen times

before he began work on his famous commentaries. & #65533;

namaste,

 

The chapter on Brahma gita which gives the essence of all the upanishads and can be understood very easily as the leanguage is very simple. The other chapters have stories and ways of doing puja, vratas, and places of worship stotras eulogising Shiva.
