The Garuḍa Purāṇa has some interesting political passages but they yield no fresh information.² Some of the Purāṇas like the Liṅga and Brahma-vaivarta contain hardly anything political. The Brahma Purāṇa, quoted in Vīramitrodaya, Rājanītiprakāśa adds that the king after the ceremony of consecration went round the capital on an elephant, re-entered the palace, and offered honour to the elders of the city.³
