Vishnu Purana
Vishnu Purana is one of the 18 Mahapuranas. More than any other major Purana, the Vishnu Purana presents its contents in Pancalaksana format – Sarga (cosmogony), Pratisarga (cosmology), Vamśa (mythical genealogy of the gods, sages and kings), Manvantra(Cosmic cycles), and Vamśānucaritam (legends during the times of various kings). The Vishnu Purana is among the shorter Purana texts, with about 7,000 verses in extant versions. It primarily centers around Vishnu and his avatars such as Krishna, but it praises Brahma and Shiva and asserts that they are one with Vishnu.
