"Texts bearing this name are classified below on the basis of details available in
catalogues. First are placed mss. of which no detail is available; the second set
of texts are those which are specified as tantra in catalogues. The third set of texts
are those about which the maximum amount of details is known. They represent the same
text although in the catalogues they are assigned in the order of the majority of
references to an obscure purāṇa called variously Vikhyāda or Vikṣādha or Vidhvāntapurāṇa;
the Śivapurāṇa; or the Nandī- (ºĪśvara) purāṇa; and described in these as Śiva-Kārttika
(ºkeya) saṁvāda (largest) or Devī-Īśvara saṁvāda, or Īśvara-Nandī saṁvāda.", NCC 5,
