Bhagavatam
The Bhagavata Purana, like other Puranas, discusses a wide range of topics including cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legend, music, dance, yoga, and culture. As it begins, the forces of evil have won a war between the benevolent devas (deities) and evil asuras (demons) and now rule the universe. Truth emerges as Krishna, (called "Hari" and "Vasudeva" in the text) – first makes peace with the demons, understands them and then creatively defeats them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom, and good – a cyclic theme that appears in many legends.
