Vamana is assigned fourteenth position in the list of eighteen Mahapuranas or Major Puranic texts, preceded by Skanda and succeeded by Kurma. The extant text of Vamana has 95 chapter and approximately 6000 slokas through Bhagavata and some other Puranas state that Vamana had an Uttarabhaga also containing four samhitas of 1000 slokas each, which howevers, has not been discovered so far. The Legands stories and episodes included in this purnana are generally of the same type as found in other Puranas.
