Chapter Two·The Greatness of the Śiva Purāṇa and an Outline of It·Verses 1–67
अथ द्वितीयोऽध्यायः
Sūta answers the sages. The Śiva Purāṇa is the whole essence of Vedānta. Until it rises in the world, sin, the disasters of the Kali age and the quarrels of scriptures, holy places and doctrines go on. He tells the fruit of reading, hearing, bowing to, copying and explaining it, and praises two of its parts above the rest: the Rudra Saṃhitā and the Kailāsa Saṃhitā. Then he gives its make-up. Śiva first made it with twelve Saṃhitās and a hundred thousand verses. Vyāsa shortened it to twenty-four thousand verses in seven Saṃhitās: Vidyeśvara, Rudra, Śatarudra, Koṭirudra, Umā, Kailāsa and Vāyavīya. No other scripture equals even a small part of it.सूतजी मुनियोंको उत्तर देते हैं। शिवपुराण वेदान्तका सारसर्वस्व है। जबतक जगत्में इसका उदय नहीं होता, तभीतक पाप, कलियुगके उत्पात और शास्त्रों, तीर्थों तथा सिद्धान्तोंके विवाद चलते हैं। वे इसके पढ़ने, सुनने, प्रणाम करने, लिखकर देने और व्याख्या करनेका फल बताते हैं, और इसके दो भागोंको सबसे ऊपर कहते हैं: रुद्रसंहिता और कैलाससंहिता। फिर वे इसकी रचना बताते हैं। शिवने पहले इसे बारह संहिताओं और एक लाख श्लोकोंमें रचा था। व्यासजीने इसे चौबीस हजार श्लोकों और सात संहिताओंमें संक्षिप्त किया: विद्येश्वर, रुद्र, शतरुद्र, कोटिरुद्र, उमा, कैलास और वायवीय। दूसरा कोई शास्त्र इसकी छोटी-सी कलाकी भी बराबरी नहीं करता।
