Bhāgavata Purāṇa

Japanese: バーガバタ・プラーナ(英語表記)Bhāgavata Purāṇa
Bhāgavata Purāṇa
This Purana is considered the holy scripture of the Bhagavata sect of Hindu Vaishnavaism. Although it was compiled late (around the 10th century), it is the most widely read and worshipped of the 18 major Puranas. It consists of 12 volumes and about 1,800 verses, and its style and wording imitate Kabya (a Sanskrit aesthetic style). Volume 10 of the Purana describes in detail the love between Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu, and the cowherd girls (gopis) and his lover Radha, and it captures the human heart by alluding to the relationship between gods and humans. It is widely read by other Hindus across sects.
