Nine contributions in the book are connected with the Sanskrit epics, six with the Khila Harivamsa, and eight with the Puranas. In his article The Vedas and the Epics, Michael Witzel gives a new synthetical comparison of materials from the Sanskrit epics and the Vedas. Alf Hiltebeitel resumes the discussion on the oral or written nature of the Mahabharata. Georg von Simson analyses the vegetational myth underlying the story of the king Nala. James L. Fizgerald outlines a tool for studying the non-anustubh portions of the Mahabharata. Klara Gonc-Moačanin questios the relationship between the game of dice and the royal consecration of Yuddhisthura. Muneo Tokunaga brings evidence for his thesis that the beginning of the Santiparvan belonged to the original Mahabharata.

Mislav Ježić analyses the structure of the Ramayana 3-6 and shows that it is based on the Vedic Vala myth, where Hanumant replaces Sarama.

Christopher Minkowski reviews Nilakantha's Vedic readings in the Harivamsa commentary. Renate Sohnen-Thieme discusses frame stories and layers of interlocution in the Puranas. Angelica Malinar compares the narrative frames of the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata-Purana and the Devi-Bhagavata, all connected with the story of Pariksit. Greg Bailey studies concepts of pravrtti and nivrtti in the Markandeya-Purana. Sandra Smets compares the versiones of the story of a devoted wife in the Jaiminiya-Samhita and Brahmandapurana on the one hand and in the Mahabharata on the other. Cristophe Vielle delineates the reconstution of the vayuprokta Brahmandapurana (as a common source) from the text of the Brahmandapurana and the Vayupurana. Peter Bisschop explanis a difficut passage from the Skandapurana. Paolo Magnone presents the contents of the Sivadharmottarapurana and argues for its affiliation with the Kalamukha sect.
