Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Dear all, Our attempt to learn the name of 18 puraanaas prompts me to learn and share the sloka expressing the essence of the 18 puraanaas as told by Vyaasa Muni. Ashtaadasha puraaneshu Vyaasasya vachana dwayam paropakaara: punyaaya paapaaya parapeedanam Vyaasa has two sentences (vachana dwayam) to express the essence of all 18 (ashtaadasha) Puraanaas. 1. Helping and doing service to others (paropakaaram) is punyam. 2. Hurting others in any way, by thoughts, words or deeds (parapeedanam) is paapam.
