Veda Vyaas, had edited the work like all other 18 Puranas and the Sage Romaharshana published this to the Rishis doing Yagna in Nimisharanya. This Purana is named as Padma Purana as it has emerged from the Padma (lotus flower) that in turn emerged from the navel of Lord Vishnu.

The beginning of the Puran is like Pulastya telling the stories to Bheeshma. They retold this stories to other Rishies and thus Vyasa came to know about it.
Brahma told these to his mansapurtras Maharshi Marichi and Maharshi Pulastya in another occasion. The stories and other descriptions with sublime spirituality in Padma Puran were narrated to Lord Brahma by Lord Vishnu himself. Padma Puran extols the supremacy of Lord Vishnu.
