N. (Manmatha Nath) Shastri, Manmatha Nath Dutt Wilson, H. H. (Horace Hayman) 1786 1860 Wilson, Horace Hayman A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam (Based on Professor H. H. Wilson's translation.) James Simmons "A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam" by Manmatha Nath Dutt and H. H. Wilson is a religious text written in the late 19th century. This translation focuses on the Vishnu Purana, one of the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas in Hindu literature, and provides profound insights into the creation, nature, and duties of the universe, presenting a blend of mythology, philosophy, and cosmology. The content centers around the divine figure Vishnu, his various incarnations, and the ritualistic and philosophical aspects of existence. At the start of the Vishnupuranam, the dialogue between Maitreya and the sage Parāçara unfolds. Maitreya, eager to gain knowledge, inquires into the origins of the universe and the principles governing existence, prompting Parāçara to recount the creation myth involving Vishnu as the ultimate source of all that is manifest. The narrative introduces the cyclical nature of time, with descriptions of the four ages (Yugas) and the process of creation, maintenance, and destruction that Vishnu oversees. Key themes such as the evolution of various beings, from deities to humans, and their respective duties within this grand tapestry of life establish a foundation for understanding the intricate relationship between the divine and the cosmos.
