Haraprasad Shastri mentioned in the Notices of Sanskrit MSS IV, pp. Nos, 2. 982. 99 about another manuscript of the iva Pura, which is divided into two khandas parts, the Prvakhaa and the Uttarakhaa. The Prvakhaa consists 3. Nagari script and the Uttarakhaa has 4. Oriya script. It was preserved in Mahimprakash Brahmachari Matha in Puri. The Prvakhaa of this manuscript is same as the Sanatkumara Sahit of the Vangavasi Press edition. The Shiva Purana, in verses 6. Vayaviya Samhita, states that Om pranava expresses Shiva, it includes within it Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra and Shiva, there is Purusha in everything, nothing is smaller nor bigger than Shiva atman. ContentseditThe Vidyevara Sahit, also called Vighnesa Samhita or Vidyasara Samhita, appears in both editions, is free of mythology found in some other samhitas, and is dedicated to describing the greatness and the bhakti of Shiva, particularly through the icon of linga. This section is also notable for mentioning both Shaiva Agamas and Tantric texts, but frequently quoting from the Vedas and asserting that the text is the essence of the Vedic teaching and the Vedanta. The chapters of this shared samhita in different versions of the Shiva Purana includes a description of Indias geography and rivers from north and south India so often and evenly that Hazra states it is difficult to gauge if this part was composed in north or south India. The Jnanasamhita in one manuscript shares content with Rudrasamhita of the other manuscript, presents cosmology and mythology, and is notable for its discussion of saguna andnirguna Shiva. The text discusses goddesses and gods, dedicates parts of chapters praising Vishnu and Brahma, as well as those related to avatars such as Krishna. It asserts that one must begin with karma yajna, thereon step by step with tapo yajna, then self study, then regular meditation, ultimately to jnana yajna and yoga to achieve sayujya intimate union with Shiva within. The text emphasizes bhakti and yoga, rather than bookish learning of the Vedas. The Shiva Purana dedicates chapters to Shaiva Advaita philosophy, like Linga Purana and other Shaivism related Puranas, advocating it as a system for salvation. The text also presents the Brahman as satcitananda theme, with masculine and feminine Shiva Shakti as a unity, and perception of plurality discrimination as a form of nescience. Love driven devotionalism bhakti, asserts the text, leads to knowledge, and such love combined with knowledge leads to attracting saintly people and guru, and with them one attains liberation, states Shiva Purana.
