Son of a Kshetriya, tell us, if it be agreeable to thee, what thou hast proposed, through dissatisfaction with the world, to accomplish. If thou wishest our aid in what thou hast to do, declare it freely, for we perceive that thou art desirous to speak." > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 1.11.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.38) - [Next: 1.11.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.40) - [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.1.11.5) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.1.11.p3.2) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.1.11.40) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.11.39) · Pramāṇa
