E. E. Pargiter advocates for a deeper engagement with Puranic and epic traditions, arguing that these sources offer rich historical insights often overlooked by modern scholars. The book meticulously analyzes genealogical and traditional accounts found in the Puranas alongside Rig-Vedic texts to reconstruct a more historically grounded narrative of ancient India. Topics covered include the origins and preservers of tradition, the formation and classification of the Puranas, detailed genealogical surveys (such as the Solar race and Brahman families), and the chronological tables of rishis and Kshatriyan Brahmans. A significant contribution to Indian historiography, this volume is indispensable for students and scholars of ancient Indian history, Indology, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmo Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49776325755184,"sku":"DRG.CosmoPub_8170202140","price":423.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/cosmo-publications-book-default-title-ancient-indian-traditions-40781916274992.webp?v=1775979401","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/ancient-indian-traditions","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
