Matsya Purana Vol. 2 continues the authoritative and scholarly translation of one of Hinduism’s most ancient and revered sacred texts by acclaimed author and Sanskrit scholar Bibek Debroy. The Matsya Purana, named after the Matsya (Fish) avatar of Lord Vishnu, is traditionally counted as the tenth of the eighteen Maha Puranas and is believed to have been composed between 200–500 CE, making it among the earliest Purāṇic texts.

This volume delves deeper into the Purana’s vast narrative universe, blending cosmology, mythology, genealogy, rituals, sacred geography, and dharma. Rich in symbolic storytelling and philosophical insight, the Matsya Purana preserves ancient Indian knowledge systems—ranging from temple construction and iconography to moral conduct and the cyclical nature of time.

Bibek Debroy’s translation is celebrated for its clarity, precision, and fidelity to the original Sanskrit, making this complex text accessible to modern readers without compromising its spiritual depth. Together, Volumes 1 and 2 present a complete and immersive reading experience for scholars, spiritual seekers, and readers of Indian classical literature.

This volume is part of Debroy’s acclaimed Purana translation series, which also includes the Bhagavata Purana, Brahma Purana, Markandeya Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Vishnu Purana, Shiva Purana, and Kurma Purana.

Ideal for readers interested in Hindu scriptures, Indian philosophy, mythology, and classical Sanskrit literature, this book is both a spiritual resource and a work of enduring literary significance.
