PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura remarks that only two khandas of the Kūrma Purāna are now available, namely the Pūrva-khanda and Uttara-khanda. Sometimes it is said that the Kūrma Purāna contains six thousand verses, but according to Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam the original Kūrma Purāna contains seventeen thousand verses. It is considered the fifteenth of the the eighteen Mahā-purānas.
