The Harivamsa (Шаблон:Lang-sa, Шаблон:IAST3[1]) is an important work of Sanskrit literature, containing 16,374 shlokas, mostly in the anustubh metre. The text is also known as the Harivamsa Purana. This text is believed to be a khila (appendix or supplement) to the Mahabharata[2][3] and is traditionally ascribed to Vyasa. The most celebrated commentary of the Mahabharata by Neelakantha Chaturdhara, the Bharata Bhava Deepa also covers the Harivamsa. According to a traditional version of the Mahabharata, the Harivamsa is divided into two parvas (books) and 12,000 verses.[2] These are included with the eighteen parvas of the Mahabharata.[3] The Critical Edition has three parvas and 5,965 verses.[4]

The Adi Parva of Harivamsa describes the creation of the cosmos and the legendary history of the kings of the Solar and Lunar dynasties leading up to the birth of Krishna. Vishnu Parva recounts the history of Krishna up to the events prior to the Mahabharata.[5] Bhavishya Parva, the third book, includes two alternate creation theories, hymns to Shiva and Vishnu and provides a description of the Kali Yuga.[6] While the Harivamsa has been regarded as an important source of information on the origin of Vishnu's incarnation Krishna, there has been speculation as to whether this text was derived from an earlier text and what its relationship is to the Brahma Purana, another text that deals with the origins of Krishna.[7]

Dwarka is the setting for many chapters in the Harivamsa.[8] The city is described as near the sea, in modern era Gujarat; a painting of the city in the 19th century (lower).

The bulk of the text is derived from two traditions, the Шаблон:IAST tradition, that is, the five marks of the Purana corpus one of which is the Шаблон:IAST genealogy, and stories about the life of Krishna as a herdsman.

The text is complex, containing layers that go back to the 1st or 2nd centuries BCE.[9]

Probably there was an oral previous version because later in time, the text was enlarged by additions and was matched in style to the Mahabharata.[10]

The origin of this appendix is not precisely known but it is apparent that it was a part of the Mahabharata by the 1st century CE because "the poet Ashvaghosha quotes a couple of verses, attributing them to the Mahabharata, which are now only found in the Harivamsa."[11]

Sivaprasad Bhattacharyya, also considered that Ashvaghosha referred to the Harivamsa, and found internal and external evidence that it was an authoritative text by the first century CE and that its later redaction took place around the end of the second or beginning of the third century CE.[12]

Edward Washburn Hopkins considered the Mahabharata increased by the addition of the Harivamsa c. 200 CE,[13] but also the possible existence of Harivamsa as part of the around hundred thousand verses within the Mahabharata as it can be attested in the Southern recension of the latter.[14]

R. C. Hazra has dated the Purana to the 4th century CE on the basis of the description of the rasa lila in it, as according to him, the Visnu Purana and the Bhagavata Purana belong to the 5th century CE and 6th century CE respectively.[15] According to Dikshit, the date of the Matsya Purana is 3rd century CE. When we compare the biography of Krishna, the account of Raji, and some other episodes as depicted in the Шаблон:IAST, it appears to be anterior to the former. Therefore, the Шаблон:IAST and the Шаблон:IAST can be dated to at least the 3rd century CE.

J. L. Masson and D. H. H. Ingalls regard the language of Harivamsa not later than 2nd or 3rd century CE and possibly from the 1st century CE; and André Couture that Mathura's description in Harivamsa is similar to cities of Kushana period (1st to mid-3rd century CE).[16]

By its style and contents, the Шаблон:IAST appears to be anterior to the Шаблон:IAST and Шаблон:IAST. The verses quoted by Asvaghosa belong to this parva. On this basis, we can safely assume the Шаблон:IAST (except for the later interpolations) to be at least as old as the 1st century CE.

Editions

The Шаблон:IAST is available in three editions. The vulgate text of the Шаблон:IAST has total 271 Шаблон:IASTs (chapters), divided into three parvas, Шаблон:IAST (55 chapters), Шаблон:IAST (81 chapters) and Шаблон:IAST (135 chapters). The traditional edition contains 12000 shlokas (verses) 2 sub-parvas, the Harivamsa Parva (187 chapters) and the Bhavishya Parva (48 chapters) with a total of 235 chapters. The Critical Edition or CE (1969–71, Ed. P.L.Vaidya), estimated to be c. 300 Common Era by Vaidya,[17] is around a third (118 chapters in 6073 slokas)[18] of this vulgate edition. Like the vulgate, the chapters in the CE are divided into three parvas, Шаблон:IAST (chapters 1-45), Шаблон:IAST (chapters 46-113) and Шаблон:IAST (chapters 114 -118). Vaidya suggests that even the CE represents an expanded text and proposes that the oldest form of Шаблон:IAST probably began with chapter 20 (which is where Agni Purana 12 places its start) and must have ended with chapter 98 of his text.[19]
