“Vishnu is a popular Devata all over the country and the antiquity of the worship of this God goes back to the Vedic corpus. There are several Vishnu Suktas in Rg Veda Samhita. It was a work of love to offer this volume at the sacred feet of this great God who has been Prof. Rao’s Kula Devata as well as Ishta Devata. This volume incorporates not only the general details of this Godhead, but also the celebrated forms like the twenty-four Murtis and the ten Avataras. Also included in the volume are details of Parivara Devatas of Vishnu like Lakshmi, Garuda, Ananta, Sudarshana, Hanuman and Vishvaksena.” (jacket)
