Todos los Vedāṅgas en su totalidad, y las enseñanzas proclamadas desde los Manvantaras en adelante; todos los tratados sin excepción, los relatos antiguos y cualesquiera recitaciones subsidiarias que se hallen en algún lugar—todo ello (en este relato sagrado) queda reunido y ordenado bajo la soberanía del Señor Supremo.
Sage Parāśara (in discourse to Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse presents the Purana as an all-encompassing repository that gathers Vedic auxiliaries (Vedāṅgas), formal treatises (Śāstras), and traditional narratives into a single coherent vision of dharma and cosmic order.
By saying “manvādi-gaditāni,” Parāśara signals that the Purana includes the accounts and doctrines taught through successive Manvantaras—linking time cycles, law, and tradition into a continuous sacred history.
Even while listing many scriptural categories, the Purana’s intent is to show them as harmonized under the Supreme Reality—Vishnu—who sustains order across Manvantara cycles and validates the unity of sacred knowledge.
