The Brahmanda Purana
Translated and annotated by Dr.G.V.Tagare
Published by Motilal Banarsidas Publishers, New Delhi - 1983

The Brahmanda Purana is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas, a genre of eighteen Hindu religious texts and has been assigned the eighteenth place in almost all the lists of the Puranas.[1]
Brahmāṇḍa, literally "Brahma's egg" is a term for the universe, the created world (loka) in Hindu mythology.
The Brahmanda Purana gets its name from the account of Brahmanda (the cosmic egg of Brahma) and the future cosmic ages revealed by Brahma. It deals with the origin of the Universe as told by Brahma. In the beginning, there was a golden egg, and the prapanca (Universe with its activities) was formed out of it. Portions of Adhyatma Ramayana, references to Radha and Krishna and the incarnation of Parasurama are included in this. This text contains twelve thousand verses and it is believed to be uttama (best) to give this book as a gift to a Brahmin.
