The Vishnu Purana is a sacred text of the Vaishnava branch of Hinduism, one of the canonical Puranas that narrates the universe's creation and destruction, spanning periods of up to a hundred trillion years. It details the genealogies of legendary kings, heroes, and demigods from ancient India, including figures from the Mahabharata and Ramayana, alongside captivating accounts of Krishna and Rama's boyhood adventures, who are revered as avatars of Vishnu. The text also references Buddhism and Jainism, aiding in dating its composition. Hindu literature has been cultivated with great diligence, yet some aspects remain underexplored. The religion has manifested in three principal forms over different periods, but the specifics of these periods and the evolution of national faith are not precisely documented. Current knowledge is based on limited materials, leading to general conclusions that require further research for validation. The narrative includes the descendants of Priyavrata, the eldest son of Swáyambhuva Manu, detailing how his ten sons took various paths—three pursuing religious life while the others became kings of the seven Dwípas, or isles. Agnídhra, king of Jambu-dwípa, divides his realm among his sons, leading to the lineage of Nábhi and Rishabha, with Bharata succeeding Rishabha, after whom India is named, marking the reign during the Swáyambhuva Manwantara.
