What is Vaaman Puraan?

Answer 1

Vamana Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, a Hindu religious text, is devoted to the Vamana avatar of Vishnu. It has an eulogy praising both Vishnu and Shiva

Answer 2

The Vamana Purana is the 14th Mahapurana and has about 10000 couplets. It has four sections or Samhitas- Brahmi, Bhagvati, Souri and the Vaishnavi Samhita. Since this Purana deals tends to glorify Brahma, it is a Rajsiika Purana. Vamana means dwarf.

The Puranas are sacred Hindu texts that were composed many hundreds of years ago. The knowledge of the Puranas supplements the knowledge of the Vedas and the Upanishads. There are a number of Puranas, but 18 or 19 Mahapuranas (there is a dispute in one of the Puranas being a Mahapurana or not). The main confusion is about the fourth Purana - is it the Shiva Purana or the Vayu Purana? The other Puranas are known as Upapuranas.

The Purana definition of the Mahapurana is that it must exhibit five characteristics: _It must describe the original creation of the universe (sarga), the periodic destruction and recreation (pratisarga) , the different eras (manvantras), the histories of the solar dynasty (Surya vamsha) and the lunar dynasty (Chandra vamsha), and the royal genealogies (vamshanucharita).
In the strictest sense, only the Vishnu Puran conforms to the typology rigidly.
