Kartikji :
Thanks for your time in posting the beautiful article(s) from Vishnu
Purana. Though i am no attorney, it would be a good idea to mention these
pages are from :
'Vishnu purana' translated by H.H.Wilson with publishing details.
Since the articles are verbatim from this book without attribution, you are
liable to be sued by the publishers. Even if you cite, make sure you had
substantial comment to it in recognition of "fair use". My friend, who put
some articles from religious books on the WWW without permission was sued
by the publisher, even though he cited the publisher, author etc. because
it still violated "fair use".
If you are translating from Vishnu purana, then it is fine :-)
