Debjani
Paul,’ Antiquity of the Viṣṇupada at Gaya…’ East and West New Series,
Vol.35,1-3; 1985: 103-141 is a comprehensive study.  For myths about Purī and Jagannātha see Nīlācalakhaṇḍa, one
of the later added Pariśiṣṭas of the Skandapurāṇa.

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Story from the Purusottamamahatmya?
 


 
Dear list members,
 
According to R.L. Mitra (The Antiquities of Orissa. Vol. 2, repr. Calcutta 1963, pp. 180 and 239), the Purusottamamahatmya includes a story in which Visnu in order to commemorate his victory over Gayasura left his foot-mark at Gaya, his discus at Bhuvanesvara, his conch at Puri and his lotus at Konarka.
Does anybody know the exact references of this story?
 
Best wishes,
Marion Rastelli
