| Oct 30, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @ChinmaySarupria I'm not sure about the scriptural basis for the Arunachaleshwara Linga, but at least the Adi Varaha statue is referenced in the Venkatachala Mahatmya of the Skanda Purana and several other Puranas. As far as the Ranganatha statue goes, I'm not sure what scriptures mentioned it, which is why I posted this question: hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/6845/36 Apparently there are Ranga Mahatmyas in the Garuda and Brahmanda Puranas, but I'm not sure where exactly they are. | |

| Feb 19, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Sai There's not something suspicious about the time in particular. It's just that there's reason to believe that the passage (containing the story) as a whole is an interpolation; see my answer here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/267/36 Basically, it's that the details found in the Shiva Purana's version of the story are different from pretty much all other accounts of the story found in Hindu scripture. So that suggests that, for instance, a folk version of the story might have been inserted into the Shiva Purana. | |
