Brahmavaivarta Purana




Brahmavaivarta Purana, instructed to Savarnika by Narada, has 18,000 verses and narrates the Rathantara-kalpa and Brahma-varaha. This Purana has four kandas namely Brahma-kanda, Prakrtikanda, Ganesa-kanda and Krsnajanma-kanda.

It describes about the ‘Prapanchasristi’ or the creation of the universe. According to Brahmavaivarta Purana, ‘Prapancha’ or Universe is nothing but the transformation of Brahman. Tales of Lord Ganesh and glories and pastimes of Radha and Krishna are also described.
