I will exert myself to obtain such elevated rank, that it shall be revered by the whole world. Though I be not born of Suruchi, the beloved of the king, you shall behold my glory, who am your son. Let Uttama my brother, her child, possess the throne given to him by my father; I wish for no other honours than such as my own actions shall acquire, such as even my father has not enjoyed." > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 1.11.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.27) - [Next: 1.11.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.29) - [Up: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.1.11.3) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.1.11.p3.1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.1.11.29) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.28) · Pramāṇa
