This means that you can do research by text search in the books now with Adobe PDF reader, copy and paste to other formats etc. I have removed blank pages from the scanned books to make the file size smaller and punished my CPU for 14 hours by running OCR. This version is the first edition of the English translation published in India in 1950. The Skanda Purana consists of 20 books, here they are in the English translation. The mythology also takes up large parts of the book, the name Skanda Purana refers to the war God Skanda ( Kartikeya ) son of Shiva. Other parts are more devotional and discusses theology, dharma and the absolute. Parts of it describes pilgrim routes and serves as travel guides for monks to important temples and monasteries all over India. Parts of the text have also been found in Tamil Nadu and other parts of India, indicating that the Skanda Purana has been an important and widespread corpus of texts.
