From study let a man proceed to meditation, and from meditation to study; by perfection in both supreme spirit becomes manifest. Study is one eye wherewith to behold it, and meditation is the other: he who is one with Brahma sees not with the eye of flesh. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 6.5.87x10-3.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.5.87x10-3.p1) - [Next: 6.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.6.2) - [Up: 6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.6) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.6.6.1) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.6.6.p1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.6.6.1) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.6.1) · Pramāṇa
