Bhūtasarga-Prakaraṇa
Account of Elemental Creation from Avyakta to Mahat
इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डे महापुराणे वायुप्रोक्ते पूर्वभागे प्रथमे प्रक्रियापादे नैमिषाख्यानकथनं नाम द्वितीयो ऽध्यायः सूत उवाच शृणु तेषां कथां दिव्यां सर्वपापप्रमोचनीम् / कथ्यमानां मया चित्रां बह्वर्थां श्रुतिसंमताम्
iti śrībrahmāṇḍe mahāpurāṇe vāyuprokte pūrvabhāge prathame prakriyāpāde naimiṣākhyānakathanaṃ nāma dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ sūta uvāca śṛṇu teṣāṃ kathāṃ divyāṃ sarvapāpapramocanīm / kathyamānāṃ mayā citrāṃ bahvarthāṃ śrutisaṃmatām
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the former section spoken by Vāyu, within the first Prakriyāpāda, is the second chapter called “The Narration of the Naimiṣa Account.” Sūta said: Hear their divine tale, which frees one from all sins—told by me in wondrous form, rich in meaning, and in harmony with Śruti.
