The Geography of the Puranas c6.51

c6.51

The geographical section of this Purāṇa follows the same pattern and contains lists of Janapadas and other features similar to those given in the Matsya, Vāyu, Mārkaṇḍeya and Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇas. The Vāmana Purāṇa, however, shows a tendency to present the descriptions of features and people independently. It also furnishes further information, for instance about the Turuṣkas and Andhras, which is not found in any other Purāṇas except the Garuḍa.
