महापुराण २ · Sattvika
Named after the cosmic lotus from which Brahma emerged, this vast Purana is divided into Khandas (books) and is loved for its teachings on devotion, holy rivers, the Gita Mahatmya, Tulsi and Ekadashi.
ब्रह्मा जिस कमल से प्रकट हुए उसी पद्म के नाम पर यह विशाल पुराण है, जिसमें भक्ति, तीर्थ, गीता माहात्म्य, तुलसी और एकादशी का वर्णन है।
A story from this Purana
Vrinda, a woman of unshakable virtue, became the Tulsi plant; Vishnu promised that no worship of his would be complete without her leaf – which is why Tulsi Vivah is celebrated in Kartik.
