Notwithstanding the existence of a few Dictionaries pertaining to Indian mythology, modern studies on this subject as a separate discipline have called forth the necessity of bringing out a fresh volume on the same with new orientation and interpretation. The present volume shows that in Ancient belief Myth was not merely a Symbolic Narrative but a theme of conscious reflection of social reality. The entries of this volume have been carefully selected and prepared with necessary references so that it may serve as a vade-mecum for the students, researchers, Teachers and educated laymen as also for those who often grope in the dark to have a quick reference.
