rājaseṣu ca māhātmyam adhikaṃ brahmaṇo viduḥ //

> In the Sâtvika Purâṇas, there is largely a mention of Hari's glory. In the Râjas Purâṇas there is the greater mention of Brahmâ's glory. In the Tâmasika Purâṇas, there is a mention of Śiva and Agni's glory. In all kinds of Purâṇas, of all the three attributes, the glory of Sarasvatî and the pitṛis have been described.—67-68.
