Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa

This is a Purāṇa literature text of Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa attribuited to Vyāsa. It is a classic Puranic structure of a conversation involving Sūta (specifically Lomaharṣaṇa) and the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya, led by Śaunaka. The text has two types of chapter Frame Narrative chapter and Internal Narrator chapter, in the opening chapter, the text describes Lomaharṣaṇa Sūta arriving at the sacrificial session in Kurukṣetra. There, the sages, headed by Śaunaka, request him to recite the Purāṇa that he learned from his Guru, Veda Vyāsa. While Sūta is the one speaking to Śaunaka, he is actually recounting a conversation that took place previously. The core knowledge is traditionally said to have been narrated by Vāyu. The Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa is often considered to be nearly identical in content to the Vāyu Purāṇa. The text is written in sanskrit language and devanagari script the chapters are highlighted in red colored ink.
