History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c91.31

v7.c91.31

Not only are mantras from Vedic Samhitās prescribed by the Purānas for certain rites, but Upanisad passages also sometimes with slight variance are bodily transferred into some of the Purānas. For example, Kūrma II. 9. 12, 13 and 18 embody Tai. Up. II. 4 (yato vāco nivartante), Śvetāśvataropa. III. 8 (vedāham-etam purusam) and VI. 11 'eko devah'. The Visnupurāna VI. 5. 65 is 'dve vidye veditavye iti cātharvanī śrutih' and contains a passage of the Mundaka Up. I.1.4 (vide note 1461 above). The Vāyu 20. 5 (pranavo dhanuh) and 20. 28 (Ajām-ekām) are respectively Mundakopa. II. 2. 4 and Śvetāśvatara-up. IV. 5. Vāyu 14. 13 (sarvatah pānipādāntam) is almost the same as Śvetāśvatara Up. III. 16 and Vāmana 47. 64-65 has the same verse. Vāmana 47. 67 is almost the same as Rg. I. 10. 1.
