This work is a concise and systematic exposition of Indian mythology by one of the most celebrated Sanskritists. The history of Indian mythic tradition spans over a period of over thirty-five hundred years. Amidst the ceaseless changes that have taken place during this vast stretch of time, while various other and older systems have perished, the mythology of India has not only remained relatively stable but has also proved its potency for fresh growth and development. An authoritative commentary as well as a guide to the seemingly infinite variety and lavish abundance of the oldest, vigorous and most vibrantmythic systems which reflects working of the mind of a great people through many centuries of unbroken evolution, Indian Mythology is instructive as a classic text book and invaluable as a work of reference.
