Encoding Description

The published edition from which this e-text was transcribed is printed in the Devanāgarī script. The electronic text below is in a lossless transliteration using the Latin alphabet. The transliteration scheme used is the IAST (The International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration). IAST differs in small ways from ISO 15919, but is preferred by most working Sanskrit scholars. Conversion of this file to ISO 15919 can be achieved by performing the following replacements throughout the file: ṛ -> r̥ and ṃ -> ṁ

Text division is with spaces between words ("ity evam" not "ityevam") except when words are joined by sandhi Devanāgarī ("atheyam" not "atha+iyam").

Initial vowel elision for avagraha is marked with a " '": e.g., "prathamo 'dhyāyaḥ"

External sandhis are not undone or marked: "yathāmara" not "yathā+amarā"

Editorial Description

The text was typed, analyzed and proofread by Peter Schreiner and Renate Söhnen, 1982-1988.

References Declarations

References to each portion of the Sanskrit text have been placed at the start of each line: e.g., BRP001.009.1 refers to the Schreiner and Söhnen 1987 edition of the Brahmapurāṇa, Chapter 1, Verse 9, Line 1.

Chapter and section headings are from the Brahmapurāṇa: summary of contents by Schreiner and Söhnen, 1989.

Page numbers of the Schreiner and Söhnen 1987 edition of the Sanskrit text have been encoded as pb-elements

Page references to the Schreiner and Söhnen English summary have been encoded as notes after the headings. SS 290-291 refers to the Schreiner and Söhnen 1989 summary, pages 290 to 291.
