Abstract: The Purāṇas have come to us as an explaination to some abstruse Vedic passages. The Prakāśa form of Brahman is called Śiva and the Vimarṣa form of the Brahman is called Śakti. Among the 18 Purāṇas, Brahmānḍa Purāṇa is well known for the extolation of Devī Lalitā. Lalitāsahasranāma containing 320 ślokas in three chapters occurs in the second part the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa, which is the last of Śrī Vedavyāsa’s 18 Purāṇas. Even a cursory reading of this will impress one with the importance attached by Śrī Vedavyāsa to the subject of Mantraśāstra in the last of his Purāṇas.
Keywords: Lalitāsahasranāma, Śrī Vedavyāsa
Title: A Study of Some Names in Lalitāsahasranāma Related to ‘Darśanaśāstra’
