History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v5.c74.t4.3

v5.c74.t4.3

Among the Purāṇas, Puruṣhottama-tīrtha is extensively dealt with in the Brahma (chap. 41-70, about 1600 verses), in the Bṛhannāradīya (uttarārdha chap. 52-61, 825 verses). Among digests, the Tīrtha-cintāmaṇi of Vācaspati that devotes nearly one-third of the work to Puruṣottama-tīrtha (pp. 53-175) and that quotes about 800 verses from the Brahmapurāṇa on Puruṣottama, Raghunandana's Puruṣottama-tattva (which is brief and mostly based on the Brahmapurāṇa) and the Tīrthaprakāśa (pp. 561-594) may be mentioned. It is worthy of note that the Kalpataru (composed about 1110-1120 A. D.) does not describe Puruṣottama-tīrtha in its Tīrthakāṇḍa, though it speaks of a few little known tīrthas like Lohārgala, Stutasvāmin and Kokāmukha.
