About this Manuscript

In conclusion, the Bhauma-stotra attributed to the Skanda Purana belongs to the wider Purāṇic tradition traditionally associated with Vedavyasa. The hymn is dedicated to Bhūma (Mars), the planetary deity Mars, and was likely intended for propitiation, protection, and the removal of astrological afflictions. The colophon “iti skandapurāṇo bhaumastotraṃ sampūrṇam” indicates that the text was regarded as complete and connected with the Skanda Purāṇa tradition, reflecting the close relationship between Purāṇic literature, devotional practice, and astrological belief in medieval Sanskrit manuscript culture.
