[Advaita-l] Puranas as Pramana

[Krishna Kashyap]

Interesting question on puranas.
Incidentally, we were studying the sat-sandarbha of Sri Jiva Goswami. There
are a number of arguments in favor of Puranas being authority. Please see
this book:

english books by Gopi Parana dasa and Sathyanarayana Dasa are available for
purchase.
