Ādipurāṇa

Ādipurāṇa is a Purāṇic text which deals with the life and deeds of Hindu deity Kṛṣṇa, such as when he splits the Yamalārjjuna tree. Kṛṣṇa not Viṣṇu is positioned as the highest reality. This text exhibits a certain sect of Vaiṣṇavism school of Hindu philosophy which directly deitifies Kṛṣṇa with conciousness and reality. This purāṇic text is not listed among the 18 Mahāpurāṇas or 18 Upapurānas. The text is also not to be confused with the famous Jaina work or the Brahmāpurāṇa which is also titled Ādipurāṇa.
