It was rendered into classical Indonesian language (Kawi) in the tenth century A.D. Simple and lucid, it relates the story vividly in limpid fluency. The Indonesian Brahmandapurana is not literal Kawi rendering of the Sanskrit text. It is an original text in Kawi, which has taken inspiration from the Sanskrit Brahmandapurana and the Vayupurana. It follows Sanskrit passages. Although it is much shorter, it does not generally speaking, omit, the matter what is essential.
