Harivaṃśa (The Lineage of Hari)
Traditional attribution
Harivaṃśa (The Lineage of Hari)
हरिवंश (Harivaṃśa)
An appendix to the Mahābhārata that narrates the lineage of Hari (Viṣṇu-Kṛṣṇa) and, above all, Kṛṣṇa's childhood and youth among the herders of Vraja, which the main poem barely tells. It is one of the oldest sources of Kṛṣṇa mythology, later developed by the Bhāgavata Purāṇa.

Authorship note
A supplement (khila) to the Mahābhārata, later than the main body, likewise ascribed to Vyāsa.
