The Churning of the Ocean (samudramanthana)is one of the most popular episodes in classical Indian myth.The
story also appears in Tibetan medical paintings as an illustration of the origin of the poison. The Tibetan version
contains some unique episodes and somewhat differs from the epic-purana versions;moreover,some parallel passages
of these episodes can be found in Indian medical books.By comparing these versions,we will be able to find another
tradition of the story, different from the tradition of the well-known epic-purana versions. |
