Dear list members,

Thank you to Asko Parpola for the bibliographic information.

And thank you to Samyak Modi, who offlist provided me the archive.org link, which I'm providing here since it was asked for by other members offlist. This seems to be the same edition though printed in different years.

https://archive.org/details/XaaT_shri-shiva-maha-puran-visweswar-samhita-1955-shri-venkateswar-press-mumbai/page/n13/mode/2up

I have just added a complete Śiva-Purāṇa (all 7 books) to SALSa (the Searchable Aggregate Library of Sanskrit). and this appears to be the edition. Previously the collection only had a version with books 1 and 7.

Charles Li pointed me to "Sanskrit Wikisource"

https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%96%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D

and I downloaded the complete Śiva-Purāṇa etext (in devanagari) from there.

Does anyone know anything about that wikisource page Charles Li pointed me to: संस्कृतविकिस्रोतसि स्वागतम् which has this and many other sanskrit etexts. Who created it etc.

Thanks,

Harry Spier
