Along with the narratives, this work bears immense information in various fields of study. The first khanda of the Vishnudharmottara Purana consists of 269 adhyayas. The first khanda contains the discussion about various subject matters such as Geographical account, Astronomy, Astrology, Religion, Politics, Chronography and Genealogies of kings and sages and their stories.

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
