There is an opinion that only the T膩rk峁akalpa is of Vi峁ａ箛u. The theme of the Pur膩峁嘺 is the birth of Garu岣峚 from Brahm膩峁囜笉a. If this Pur膩峁嘺 is given as a gift it should be given along with the image of a swan in gold. (Chapter 272, Agni Pur膩峁嘺).

骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺 (啶椸ぐ啷佮ぁ啶啶班ぞ啶�) refers to one of the eighteen Major Puranas according to the Matsyapur膩峁嘺 and other traditional lists of Puranic literature: a category of ancient Sanskrit texts which gives a huge contribution in the development of Indian literature.鈥擳he lists of eighteen Mah膩pur膩峁嘺s (e.g., 驳补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺) and eighteen Upapur膩峁嘺s are not same everywhere, as some names are dropped in some references whereas some are included in others. It can be noticed that, except the V膩yuapur膩峁嘺 and the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺, the names of the Mah膩pur膩峁嘺s are similar in almost all the Pur膩峁嘺s.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

: Shodhganga: a concise history of Sanskrit Chanda literature骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺 (啶椸ぐ啷佮ぁ啶啶班ぞ啶�) also deals with the science of prosody in its six chapters 207-212. The chapters comprise 5, 18, 41, 7 and 9 verses respectively. The first chapter (207th) describes general introduction of metrics viz. division of metres, 驳补峁嘺, trika, guru, laghu etc. Then description of various types of 尘腻迟谤腻 metres follows. Sama, ardhasama, 惫颈峁尘补 and technique of six pratyayas are dealt in third, fourth, fifth and sixth (209-212) chapters respectively.
The interpretation of 骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺 is known for its simplicity. Herein 35 numbers of 尘腻迟谤腻 metres, 104 numbers of sama, 9 of ardhasama, 12 of 惫颈峁尘补 metres are illustrated. The verses are composed in 补苍耻峁ａ弓耻辫 metre and the description is in the form of conversation between S奴ta and Par墨k峁ta. The 骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺 gives only the description of the characteristics of metres and skips the example of concerned metres.
Chandas (啶涏え啷嵿う啶膏) refers to Sanskrit prosody and represents one of the six Vedangas (auxiliary disciplines belonging to the study of the Vedas). The science of prosody (chandas-shastra) focusses on the study of the poetic meters such as the commonly known twenty-six metres mentioned by Pingalas.

Ayurveda (science of life)
: Journal of the European Ayurvedic Society, Volume 4: Reviews and Notices骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺 (啶椸ぐ啷佮ぁ啶啶班ぞ啶�) is the name of a work related to Ayurveda and medicine referenced by the 鈥�cikitsa bidhane tantrasastra鈥濃�攁 Bengali work authored by 鈥楰rishna Chaitanya Thakur鈥� in three volumes dealing with the treatments for diseases and disorders collected from Tantric and Ayurvedic texts.鈥擡astern India is one of the major strongholds of Tantrism in South Asia, and this region, particularly Bengal, has played and still plays a prominent role in the development of 膧yurveda. It is indeed a fact that much medically relevant material is to be found in [the 骋补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺, or other] Tantric texts. The 鈥�cikits膩 bidh膩ne tantra艣膩stra鈥� (by K峁涐梗峁嘺caitanya 峁琱膩kur) contains wealth of medicines and remedies for a large variety of diseases and disorders, arranged according to the individual diseases or disorders. The material presented is culled from a variety of texts [e.g., 驳补谤耻岣峚辫耻谤腻峁嘺], [most of which] seem to be classed as Tantric, but some are quite obviously not so, though their material may be related to that to be found in Tantric texts.
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: HinduismGaruda Purana is an epic conversation between Lord Vishnu and Garuda (King of Birds), primarily emphasizing the reason and meaning of Human Life form. It contains details of life after death, funeral rites and the metaphysics of reincarnation. Many years ago, this Purana was told to the sage Kashyapa by the great bird Garuda himself. Romaharshana learnt it from my teacher Vyasadeva.
The Padma Purana categorizes Garuda Purana as a Sattva Purana (Purana which represents goodness and purity). The epic purana which is considered to be lastly edited by Veda Vy膩sa, speaks of different incarnations of Lord Vishnu, geographical description, origin of the Universe, Creation, Procreation, Genealogy of Gods and the journey of a soul after death.
