For one who hearts the topics of Harivamsa which was spoken by Srila Vyasadeva and which is incomparable auspicious, pure the destroyer of sinful reactions and most beneficial what is the need to take a holy bath in the sacred water at Puskara?

From the Jacket

Harivamsa and Mahabharata are complementary to each other. Harivamsa especially describes the pastimes of the supreme Lord that took place after the battle at Kuruksetra, including his pastimes of disappearance. Harivamsa is considered to be a supplement of Mahabharata. It is divided into three parts Harivamsa parva, Visnu parva and Bhavisya parva. Harivamsa parva has fifty five chapters, Visnu parva has one hundred twenty eight chapters and Bhavisya parva has one hundred thirty five chapters. Harivamsa consists of about sixteen thousand verses.

Harivamsa was first recited by the great sage Vaisampayana to king Janmejaya. In that assembly Ugrasrava or Sauti was also present. Later on by the request of the sages at Naimisaranya headed by Saunaka Sauti again recited it. Many gaudiya vaisnava acaryas have quoted evidence from Harivamsa in their writings. There is no doubt that the readers of this book will find it both interesting and beneficial for their cultivation of Krsna consciousness of about sixteen thousand verses.
