Having thus lightened the burdens of the earth, and slain many unrighteous princes, he exterminated, by the pretext of an imprecation denounced by Brahmans, his own Yádava race. Then quitting Dwáraká, and relinquishing his mortal being, the self-born reentered, with all his emanations, his own sphere of Vishńu. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 5.36.23.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.36.23.p1) - [Next: 5.37.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.37.2) - [Up: 5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.37) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.5.37.1) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.5.37.p1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.5.37.1) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Brahmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahma.210.1) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.37.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.37.1) · Pramāṇa
