The text is in the form of a dialogue between SÅ«ta and the sages and, similarly to other ³¾Äå³óÄå³Ù³¾²â²¹²õ, begins with a prologue. The sages perform a thousand sacrifices and when the morning offerings are over, Åšaunaka and other sages gathered there request SÅ«ta to narrate the myth and to explain the origin and importance of Viṣṇu in ´¡²Ô²¹²Ô³Ù²¹Å›²¹²â²¹²Ô²¹-ká¹£etra (the Tiruvanantapuram temple).

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
