I adore him, who is the one conjoined essence and object of both meditative wisdom and active virtue; > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 6.8.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.8.58) - [Next: 6.8.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.8.60) - [Up: 6.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.8) ## Translations (1) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.6.8.5) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.6.8.60) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Ṣaṭsandarbha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.sampradaya.vaisnava.gaudiya.siddhanta.satsandarbha.1.3.53) — Jīva Gosvāmin 1555, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.8.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.6.8.59) · Pramāṇa
