It is a sacred text of the Hindu Vaishnava sect, especially the Pancaratra sect, and consists of 6 volumes and 7,000 verses, in the form of an early purana. It is written in the form of a dialogue between the sage Parasara and his disciple Maitreya, and tells ancient legends and stories such as the creation of the world, the century of Manu, the history of the royal families of the Sun and Moon, the legend of Krishna, and the destruction of the world, and generally has a strong tendency toward Krishna worship. Compared to other Puranas, it does not contain any mention of temples, festivals, or holy places, and the language is archaic, so it belongs to the Middle Ages of the Puranic literature.
