The Rájá was ever repeating the names, Yajneśa, Achyuta, Govinda, Mádhava, Ananta, Keśava, Krishńa, Vishńu, Hrishikeśa; nothing else did be utter, even in his dreams; nor upon anything but those names, and their import, did he ever meditate. He accepted fuel, flowers, and holy grass, for the worship of the deity, but performed no other religious rites, being engrossed by disinterested, abstract devotion. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 2.13.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.13.6) - [Next: 2.13.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.13.8) - [Up: 2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.13) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.2.13.2) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.2.13.p2) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.2.13.7) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.13.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.13.7) · Pramāṇa
