The Garuda Purana is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas, a foundational text of the Vaishnava tradition. Narrated by Lord Vishnu to Garuda, it is best known for its vivid descriptions of the afterlife, the journey of the soul after death, and the rites for the departed.

Kandas of the Garuda Purana
The Garuda Purana is traditionally divided into three Kandas.
Each Kanda covers a distinct domain of dharma, afterlife, and liberation.
Brahma Khanda
The Section on Brahman
Binubuksan ng Khanda 1 ang Garuḍa Purāṇa sa pamamagitan ng pagtatatag ng pangunahing sentrong teolohikal nito: si Nārāyaṇa (Hari/Vāsudeva) bilang Kataas-taasang Brahman, pinagmumulan ng paglikha, pag-iingat, at pagkalusaw ng sansinukob.
Preta Kalpa (Preta-khaṇḍa) / Funeral & Afterlife Instruction Layer
The Section on the Departed
Ang Khanda 2, Adhyāya 1 ang nagbubukas sa pinakakilalang arko ng aral at ritwal sa Garuḍa Purāṇa: ang kapalaran ng jīva matapos ang kamatayan at ang lohika ng śāstra para sa antyeṣṭi (huling ritwal), śrāddha, at preta-kriyā.
Preta-kalpa (Preta Kalpa) — Mokṣa-sādhana Prakaraṇa (Means to Liberation Unit)
Means to Liberation
Binubuksan ng Khanda 3 ang Preta-kalpa na nakatuon sa paglaya sa pamamagitan ng pagtatatag ng mga batayang teolohikal at hermenyutiko: ang kataas-taasang pag-iral ni Nārāyaṇa (Viṣṇu) bilang huling kanlungan, pangunahing sinasamba, at tunay na layon ng mga kasulatang banal.
