Of which it is said, "The lineage of him shall never be extinct, who daily calls to mind the race of Manu, originating with Brahmá." Listen therefore, Maitreya, to the entire series of the princes of this family, by which all sin shall be effaced. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 4.1.3.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.1.3.p1) - [Next: 4.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.1.5) - [Up: 4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.1) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.4.1.2) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.4.1.p2) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.1.4) · Pramāṇa
