Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPādmakalpa (पाद्मकल्प) is the name of a Kalpa where Pitāmaha (Brahmā) will be born as the son of Viṣṇu, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.9:—“[...] O Viṣṇu, guard lovingly this Pitāmaha who is the cause of creation. At my bidding, you will be worthy of respect in the three worlds. Rudra shall be worshipped by you and Brahmā. The author of dissolution of the three worlds is the complete incarnation of Śiva. In the Kalpa called Pādma, Pitāmaha will be born as your son. Then you will see me. The lotus-born Brahmā shall also see me”.
