I see now that in replacing "Part 1" by "Part 2" in the url... I get the needed Part I !

Dear list,

I am searching for the vol. 1  of the

Śivarahasyakhaṇḍa of the (Śaṅkara-/Śāṅkarī- or Agastya-saṃhitā of the) Skanda-Mahāpurāṇa

Ed. with Tamil translation by Cēṅkalipuram Anantarāma Tikṣitar, 2 vols, Cēlam [1964 s.d.]    

The vol. 2 seems to be here:


(with the 6th and 7th/last Dakṣa- and Upadeśa-kāṇḍas)

The vol. 1 should have the 1st to 5th Saṃbhava-, Asura-, Vīramahendra-, Yuddha- en Deva-kāṇḍas.

This is a Sanskrit work closely connected with (the model of?) both the (14th c.?) Tamil Kantapurāṇam by Civācāriyar (see https://books.openedition.org/ifp/2756 and http://www.skandagurunatha.org/works/kantha-puranam/ ) and the (16th c.) Malayalam Skandapurāṇa Kiḷippāṭṭŭ (respectively limited to the first 6 or 5 kāṇṭam/ kāṇḍaṃs).

Best wishes,

Christophe
