Summary of chapter 360 of the Agni Purāṇa is as follows:
The vocabulary (kośa) section of the Agni Purāṇa commences with a lexicon of the celestial and subterranean realms and the beings that inhabit them. Synonyms for the various heavens (svarga, tridiva, nāka, surālaya), the seven pātālas, and the fourteen lokas are listed. The chapter then provides synonyms for the names of Viṣṇu (Hari, Acyuta, Ananta, Govinda, Keśava, Nārāyaṇa), Śiva (Rudra, Maheśvara, Śambhu, Śaṅkara), Devī (Durgā, Caṇḍikā, Ambā), Skanda, and Gaṇeśa. The synonyms of waters, rivers, mountains, herbs, and aquatic creatures provide a terminological resource for poets, ritualists, and scholars seeking variety of expression without departure from śāstric authority.
