The Brahma Purana (Sanskrit: ब्रह्म पुराण, Brahma Purāṇa) is one of the eighteen major Puranas genre of Hindu texts in Sanskrit language.[1] It is listed as the first Maha-Purana in all the anthologies, and therefore also called Adi Purana.[1][2] Another title for this text is Saura Purana, because it includes many chapters related to Surya or the Sun god.[3] The Brahma Purana is actually just a compilation of geographical Mahatmya (travel guides)[4] and sections on diverse topics.[5][6]
