The Markandeya Purana is the shortest of the Puranas containing only 9,000 verses. It contains the wisdom given by four learned birds to sage Jaimini. Since the birds were speaking on behalf of sage Markandeya the Purana was named after the sage. The exact incident is described in Jaimini and the Birds.
