The Harivamsa (Skt. हरिवंश) is an important work of Sanskrit literature. It is a kind of appendix to the Mahābhārata, that runs to 16,375 verses and focuses specifically on the life of Lord Krishna. Along with the Rāmāyaṇa and Yogavasishtha, the Harivamsa is considered to belong to the category of Hindu scripture known as itihāsa, or 'history'.[1] Harivamsa takes its name from Hari, the well-known epithet of Vishnu, of whom Krishna is considered to be an avatar.
Harivamsa includes many details of Krishna's youth and upbringing not found elsewhere in Hindu itihaas.
