The Purana Text of the Dynasties of the Kali Age c2.41

c2.41

Here also *Bhaviṣye* can only mean ‘in the Bhaviṣya Purāṇa’; and that this was the meaning is testified to by two MSS of the Matsya which read the second half line, *purāṇe śruti-sarṣibhiḥ*³. These passages therefore prove that the versions of the Matsya, Vāyu, and Brahmāṇḍa were borrowed from the Bhaviṣya or were at least based on it; and the accounts in the Viṣṇu and Bhāgavata must also have been derived therefrom, because they were later redactions as shown above.
