SOME LOST UPAPUR膧峁咥S 505 of this Upapur膩峁嘺. So, it seems to have been composed
at a late period. There are, of course, Mss of a Vindhya- 鉁�
m膩h膩tmya鹿 which claims to be a part of this Upapur膩峁嘺.
As one of these Mss is dated Samvat 1924, our Upapur膩峁嘺
must have been written earlier than that date.
8.
The Ekap膩da-upapur膩峁嘺.
It is only the Ek膩mra-p. which mentions this work in
its list of Upapur膩峁嘺s. So, it seems to have been written
at a comparatively late date. Its mention in the Ek膩mra-p.,
however, shows that it was composed earlier than 1100 A.D.
but most probably not before 900 A.D.
As none is found to draw upon or refer to it, we are
quite ignorant of its nature and contents.
9. The Garuda Upapur膩峁嘺.
This work is mentioned only in the Ek膩mra-p., but
we do not know definitely whether by 'G膩ru岣峚' the Ek膩mra-
p. means the present Garuda-p. which was a much later
work than the earlier Garu岣峚," and which was regarded
as a spurious work by Vallalasena.63
10. The K眉rma-upapur膩峁嘺.
A 'Kaurma' Upapur膩峁嘺 is mentioned in the lists of
Upapur膩峁嘺s contained in the Rev盲-kh. (of the Skanda-p.)
and the Rev膩-m膩h膩tmya.
1 For Mss of the Vindhya-m膩h膩tmya, with the commentary of Vaidyanatha, see
Shastri, ASB Cat., V, pp. 745-747, Nos. 4086 (dated Samvat 1940) and 4087 (dated
Samvat 1924), and Mitra, Notices, III, pp. 306-8, No. 1285.
According to Mitra the Vindhya-m膩h膩tmya deals with the 'topography of certain
sacred places on the Vindhya Hills, and the religious merit to be acquired by pilgrimage
to them'. It also contains the names of the eighteen Pur膩峁嘺s and Upapur膩峁嘺s (in
chaps. 3 and 4 respectively), the praise of Devi Vindhyavasini, T膩rake艣vara and the
Ganges, the stories of T膩rak膩sura, of the demons Hu峁囜笉a and Tuhu峁囜笉a and of 艢umbha
and Ni艣umbha, and the description of the method of Devi-worship, which is imbued
with Tantric elements.
