Description
Puranas are almost like an encyclopaedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled. In every cycle of time the master editor called Vedavyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records. Their significance is enormous even in the present, as they give a peep into the distant past of Hindus when the world was evolving and the psyche of the race was being formed.
These Puranas record the arguments that make us to decide as to what is holy and what is vile; what is good and what is bade. By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence, vis-à-vis the ancient norms. Apart from that, they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun. It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned.
Puranas are an inexhaustible treasure of Indian literature and life. We get a number of stories of human life in them. Stories related to sin and piety, dharma and adharma, action and undesirable action have been told in eighteen puranas, keeping certain gods and goddesses at their center. Brahmvaivartha Purana is the thirteenth Purana . It is a Purana that explains Brahmas's range of effectiveness and depicts him in two different shades.
