Brahma Purana

The Brahma Purana (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मपुराण or ब्राह्मपुराण; Brahma-Purana) is one of the eighteen major Puranas collections of Hindu texts in Sanskrit. It is listed as the first Mahapurana in all anthologies, and is therefore also called Adi Purana. Another title for this text is Saura Purana, because it includes many chapters related to Surya, the sun god. The Brahma Purana is a compilation of geographical Mahatmya (travel guides) and sections on diverse topics.
