You stated that Priyavrata and Uttánapáda were the sons of Swáyambhuva Manu, and you repeated the story of Dhruva, the son of Uttánapáda: you made no mention of the descendants of Priyavrata, and it is an account of his family that I beg you will kindly communicate to me. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 1.22.88.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.1.22.88.p2) - [Next: 2.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.2.1.2) - [Up: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.2.1) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.2.1.1) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.2.1.p1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.2.1.1) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.2.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*crit.2.1.1) · Pramāṇa
