Brahma Purāṇa
by Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Private Limited
Book Details
Description
Sometimes also called Ādi Purāṇa, because many Mahāpurāṇas lists put it first of 18. The text has 245 chapters, shares many passages with other Purāṇas, and with the Mahābhārata. Includes history, theory of war, art work in temples, and other cultural topics. Describes holy places in Odisha, and weaves themes of Viṣṇu and Śiva, but hardly any mention of deity Brahma despite the title.
