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