Summary
The Matsya Purana, volumes 1 and 2, is the tenth text among the eighteen Maha Puranas, constituting one of the most sacred ancient Hindu texts. Based on the Matsya, or fish, avatar of Lord Vishnu, this Purana is generally considered to be one of the oldest, and can be dated to 200 to 500 CE. In Bibek Debroy’s detailed and rigorous translation, the Matsya Purana comes to life for readers—a rare gift from one of the masters of Sanskrit literature.
