    This is most likely an abridgement.

    Re: Translations Of Puranas

    I don't think all the puranas translated completely would fit into a 3volume set.

    Re: Translations Of Puranas

    It is obviously an abridgement but to what exctenct is hard for me to say (each volume is appr. 600 pages each, A5 format). I would suggest to contact the shop, they seemed knowledgeable. As for the translation: the little i have delved into it, the language appears as concise and good (English only).

    Shanti

    It's very abridged. I have all the Puranas you mentioned in unabridged forms and they take up an entire bookshelf.

    Re: Translations Of Puranas

    Thanks for these. However, Part I of the Padma Purana translation appears to be missing in that collection.

I did a quick Google search which turned up nothing and also tried shortening the above URL to look for some sort of menu - also not helpful.
