History of Bengali Language and Literature c7.s3.38

c7.s3.38

I have tried to indicate the lines on which the Paurāṇik Renaissance attempted to build up Hindu society. The literature that grew up in this attempt at a proper exposition of the spirit of Hinduism, promulgates the creed of faith in God and in the Brāhmin which constitutes its essential features. We shall next deal in detail with those Bengali translations of Sanskrit works which first gave an impetus towards popularising the doctrines of the Paurāṇik religion.
