Dear Madhav,

According to the verse-index of the Nag Publishers printing of the Padmamahāpurāṇam (so on title page), this is Pāṭāla khaṇḍa (the 5th), adhyāya 108, verse 20. I checked the text, and this reference is correct. As we know, but not stated on the copyright pages of the Nag Publishers printings of the purāṇas, they are photographic reprints of the Veṅkaṭeśvara Press editions published in manuscript form at Bombay in the early 1900s.

The added verse-indexes to the Nag Publishers reprints are very helpful. I do not know of a cumulative verse index for all of the major purāṇas. This would be very helpful indeed.

Best regards,

I am trying to trace the following verse that is said to occur in the Padmapurāṇa. I don't have an edition of the Padmapurāṇa with a verse index. Is there a cumulative verse index to Purāṇas? Any help is appreciated.
