This page describes Vaishakhamasa-mahatmya which is section 7 of the English translation of the Skanda Purana, the largest of the eighteen Mahapuranas, preserving the ancient Indian society and Hindu traditions in an encyclopedic format, detailling on topics such as dharma (virtous lifestyle), cosmogony (creation of the universe), mythology (itihasa), genealogy (vamsha) etc.

Section 7 - ղśmāsa-ٳⲹ

- Sub-Contents: (+ / -)

The ղśmāsaٳⲹ (ղśmāsa-ٳⲹ) has 25 chapters.

ղś is another month which is favourite with վṣṇ. In Padmapurāṇa, Pātāla Khaṇḍa, Ch. 84, as a background of this Māhātmya, we are told that once went to Mathura to see King īṣa, a great devotee of ṛṣṇa (vv 8-10). ղś-Māhātmya is thus a dialogue between these two.
