Agneya Purana
Agneya is the name of one of the eighteen Puranas.

Agneya is the name of one of the eighteen Puranas. It is sometimes confused with the Agni Purana, which was written in different parts of India in the nineteenth century. It is said to be composed by the Tantriks with a sectarian motive. As the Tantricism became famous, this Purana became popular. For this reason, the original Agneya Purana had to change its name to Vahni Purana. The Agneya Purana can be found in the Asiatic Society in Calcutta.
