மீண்டும் பிரம்மா, பிரம்மாண்டத்தின் மகிமையைப் பற்றி உரைத்தார்; அந்த பிரம்மாண்ட (புராணம்) பன்னிரண்டு ஆயிரம் சுலோகங்களும், மேலும் இருநூறு சுலோகங்களும் உடையதாகும்।
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Brahmā, four-faced, seated on a lotus, speaks to sages about the greatness of the cosmic egg (brahmāṇḍa); palm-leaf manuscripts and counting beads suggest textual measure.
Purāṇas are presented as carefully transmitted bodies of dharma-knowledge, with recognized speakers and traditional measures.
Indirectly Prabhāsa-kṣetra, as the Māhātmya context frames these teachings, though the verse itself is about Purāṇic cataloging.
None; it states authorship/topic and the traditional extent of the Brahmāṇḍa (Purāṇa).
