there actually was stated to be one Single Purana

comprising one hundred crore ‘Shlokas’ (stanzas)

Bhagavan Vishnu created Vyasa Muni in each Yugas and the latter in turn condensed the Single Purana with only four lakh Shlokas and distributed it among Eighteen Puranas with varied number of Shlokas among these.

In fact, it is stated that the Single Mother Purana continues to be in position in the Deva Lokas.

Vyasa selected only four lakh stanzas and disrtibuted these among Eighteen Puranas viz. Brahma Purana, Padma Purana, Vishnu Purana, Vayu Purana, Bhagavat Purana, Narada Purana, Markandya Purana, Agni Purana, Bhavishya Purana, Brahma Vaivartha Purana, Linga Purana, Varaaha Purana, Skanda Purana, Vamana Purana, Kurma Purana, Matsya Purana, Garuda Purana and Brahmaanda Purana.

These were sketched for ‘Loka Kalyan’ and even these highly abridged versions are apparently tough to digest.

It is believed that a person who could read, hear, reproduce, annotate and assimilate all the Eighteen Puranas in full as written by Veda Vyas should have no rebirth into this ‘Samsara’once again.
