In Chapters [3] and [4] I have, in the main, strictly followed the Bhagavata Purana, incorporating, however, a few important details and passages either not given in this text but included in the Vishnu Purana or if given, not so vividly expressed. The details and passages in question are page[ 27] concerning the white and black hairs of Vishnu, page [34]—the lyrical description of Krishna's life in the forest, page [46]—Akrura's meditation as he goes to visit Krishna, page [68]—the drunken brawl and page [69] the deaths of Balarama and Krishna. All extracts are from H.H. Wilson, The Vishnu Purana (pages 498, 511, 541-2, 609-612).
