The Vishnu Purana contains some 23,000 Shloka s, presented as a dialogue between Parashara with his disciple Maitreya . It is divided in six parts. The third part treats the Maha Avatara of Vishnu . The Vishnudharmottara Purana , a separate text dedicated to the arts, is a Supplement or Appendix to the Vishnu Purana. H. H. Wilson considers it one of the oldest of the Purana s, and dates it to the first century BCE,Wilson (2006), p. xii. though Gavin Flood dates it later to the fourth century CE.Flood (1996), p. 111.
