The author of Vishnu Puran Katha is Parashar ji, the father of Byas ji. There is a description in Vishnu Puran (Vishnu Puran in Hindi) that when Parashar's father Shakti was killed by demons, then in anger, Parashar Muni started "Rakshoghan Yajna" for the destruction of demons. Thousands of demons started dying by falling in it.

The Vishnu Purana is among the shorter Purana texts, with about 7,000 verses in extant versions. It primarily centers around the Hindu god Vishnu and his avatars such as Krishna, but it praises Brahma and Shiva and asserts that they are one with Vishnu. The Purana, states Wilson, is pantheistic and the ideas in it, like other Puranas, are premised on the Vedic beliefs and ideas.

विष्णुपुराण अट्ठारह पुराणों में अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण तथा प्राचीन है। यह श्री पराशर ऋषि द्वारा प्रणीत है। यह इसके प्रतिपाद्य भगवान विष्णु हैं, जो सृष्टि के आदिकारण, नित्य, अक्षय, अव्यय तथा एकरस हैं। इस पुराण में आकाश आदि भूतों का परिमाण, समुद्र, सूर्य आदि का परिमाण, पर्वत, देवतादि की उत्पत्ति, मन्वन्तर, कल्प-विभाग, सम्पूर्ण धर्म एवं देवर्षि तथा राजर्षियों के चरित्र का विशद वर्णन है। भगवान विष्णु प्रधान होने के बाद भी यह पुराण विष्णु और शिव के अभिन्नता का प्रतिपादक है। विष्णु पुराण में मुख्य रूप से श्रीकृष्ण चरित्र का वर्णन है, यद्यपि संक्षेप में राम कथा का उल्लेख भी प्राप्त होता है।.
