Vishnu Puranaविष्णु पुराण

One of the oldest and most tightly structured Puranas, narrated by sage Parashara to Maitreya. It closely follows the classical five subjects of a Purana and presents Vishnu as the source and sustainer of everything.

ऋषि पराशर द्वारा मैत्रेय को सुनाया गया विष्णु पुराण सबसे प्राचीन और सुव्यवस्थित पुराणों में है, जिसमें विष्णु को जगत का मूल बताया गया है।

A story from this Purana

Dhruva, the steadfast child

Hurt when his stepmother pushed him from his father's lap, five-year-old Dhruva went to the forest and meditated on Vishnu with complete resolve. The Lord appeared and gave him a place that would never move – the Pole Star, Dhruva Tara.
