ABOUT THE BOOK

Brief Markandeya Purana (Code 539) is a concise, high-quality edition published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur. This version distills the vast 9,000 verses of the original Purana into a more accessible format while preserving its spiritual essence. It is uniquely structured as a series of dialogues—initially between Sage Jaimini and the "wise birds"—and covers a wide range of topics from cosmology and the duties of various social classes to the famous accounts of King Harishchandra and the birth of the Maruts.
