A translation of the Sanskrit "Brahmāṇḍa." Meaning "the egg of Brahma," in Hinduism, it is one of the supreme beings who are the origin of the universe. In India, various ideas and theories have been developed regarding the creation of the universe since the Rig-Veda, the oldest document in India. The theory of the creation of the universe from a Brahma egg is one of these, and is discussed in detail in the various Puranas (meaning "ancient tales" or "old legends"), the holy scriptures of Hinduism, especially the Brahmāṇḍa-purāṇa.
