The Agni Purana Volumes 1 to 2
The Puranas are eighteen is numbers. Sage Veda Vyasa composed them. There are references to epics and Puranas in the Vedic texts and also in the Sutra texts of Aapasthamba, Gauthama and others. Many of the previous Puranas are extinct now and only those are available which are composed by Veda Vyasa.
Agni, the fire God narrated this Purana to sage Vasishtha.
The contents of this Purana clearly show that it has no sectarial leaning. It impartially treats of Vaishnava, Saiva, and Sakta forms of worship. It is more a compendium of Sanskrit learning than the advocacy of any particular form of religion. This Purana contains topics dealing with subjects like (Ayurveda), Silpa Sastra, Jyotish, Poetics etc. (jacket)
