This book is written in simple language and is in the format of a story and snippets from the original purana. For people like me who are not familiar with sanskrit phrases this is a good start. There are no sanskrit phrases in this book and what we get is an english interpretation of the same. Since I am not an expert in vedic literature, I cannot say how true the interpretation is but it certainly does make for a good and interesting read. Review: Menon brings another hard to find Purana to the English reader. - I have not read any other translations of the Siva Purana. So I cannot compare this to any other work's. As a fan of Ramesh Menon I give him a 5 star for the simple fact of bringing this work to the west. Short compared to the Bhagavatam Purana it tells many stories that are not in other Purana's. If you are a devotee of Siva then this is a great read. Mr.Menon has translated most of the major Hindu Epics and Puranas. They are done well IMO. Not crazy long like some dry works and not cut to pieces like others. The reading for the most part is easy for the casual reader and enjoyable. Now I only wish Mr.Menon would take on a good translation of the Vedas.

It presents clearly, all the tales and legends of Shiva. Though it might not be the best one out there, its still good enough to add to your library. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rupa Publications India Siva: The Siva Purana Retold - Devi: The Devi Bhagavatam Retold - Rupa Publications India Bhagavata Purana ( Set in 2 Vol.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9579446-siva-the-siva-purana-retold](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9579446-siva-the-siva-purana-retold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
