c13.s1.6
The *Mārkaṇḍeya*, which expressly recognises the priority of the *Mahābhārata*, is so called because it is related by the sage Mārkaṇḍeya to explain difficulties suggested by the epic, such as, How could Kṛishṇa become a man? Its leading feature is narrative and it is the least sectarian of the Purāṇas.
