Vishnu Purana
(Shrimad bhagawat purana)
This is one of the most
important of all the Puranas. This contains the five technical divisions of the
Puranas. This is divided into six adisas. This deals with the events of
Varahakalpa and contains twenty-three thousand slokas. The theme is the ten
incarnations of MahaVishnu. Vishnu Purana is the most ancient of all the Puranas
and has got the name Puranaratna (gem of Puranas).
The method of narration is in the form of teaching his disciple Maitreya by sage
Parasara. Since there is a reference in it to the Maurya dynasty it is to be
surmised that this was composed in the first or second century A.D. The narrator
himself states thus: "Vyasa an adept in the compositon of Puranas' composed this
Puranasarirhita with akhyanas, Upikhyanas, githas and Kalpanirnayas. A Suta
named Romaharsana was Vyasa's chief disciple. The broad-minded Vyasa gave that
samhita to that suta. Romaharsana had six disciples named Sumati, Agnivarcas,
Mitrayus. S`arhsapiyana, Akrtavrana, and Savarni. Of these Akrtavrana, Savarni
and 8arirsapayana born in the Kasyapagotra have composed Puranasamhitas. There
is yet another sarirhita composed by komaharsana which was the basis of the
sarirhitas of his three disciples. I have composed Vishnupurana basing on the
above four samhitas."
If a man gives as gift a book of Vishnu Purana on the full moon day in the month
of asadha (July) with Jaladhenu he will attain Vishnupada.
