• Purpose of the Gayatri Mantraplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.1
  
  O my Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.
• Paramesvara the Supremeplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.2
  
  Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this Bhāgavata Purāṇa propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhāgavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyāsadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need of any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of Bhāgavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.

  O expert and thoughtful men, relish Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the mature fruit of the desire tree of Vedic literatures. It emanated from the lips of Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Therefore this fruit has become even more tasteful, although its nectarean juice was already relishable for all, including liberated souls.
• Watering the Root of the Treeplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.4
  
  Once, in a holy place in the forest of Naimiṣāraṇya, great sages headed by the sage Śaunaka assembled to perform a great thousand-year sacrifice for the satisfaction of the Lord and His devotees.

• Scriptures Summarizedplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.11
  
  There are many varieties of scriptures, and in all of them there are many prescribed duties, which can be learned only after many years of study in their various divisions. Therefore, O sage, please select the essence of all these scriptures and explain it for the good of all living beings, that by such instruction their hearts may be fully satisfied.
• Glories of the Name of the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.14
  
  Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, which is feared by fear personified.

  Śrīla Sūta Gosvāmī said: Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto that great sage [Śukadeva Gosvāmī] who can enter the hearts of all. When he went away to take up the renounced order of life [sannyāsa], leaving home without undergoing reformation by the sacred thread or the ceremonies observed by the higher castes, his father, Vyāsadeva, fearing separation from him, cried out, "O my son!" Indeed, only the trees, which were absorbed in the same feelings of separation, echoed in response to the begrieved father.
• Srimad-Bhagavatam Summarizedplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.3
  
  Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto him [Śuka], the spiritual master of all sages, the son of Vyāsadeva, who, out of his great compassion for those gross materialists who struggle to cross over the darkest regions of material existence, spoke this most confidential supplement to the cream of Vedic knowledge, after having personally assimilated it by experience.
• Scope of Sense Satisfactionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.10
  
  Life's desires should never be directed toward sense gratification. One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one's works.
• Definition of the Absolute Truthplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.11
  
  Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān.
• Process of Its Realizationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.12
  
  The seriously inquisitive student or sage, well equipped with knowledge and detachment, realizes that Absolute Truth by rendering devotional service in terms of what he has heard from the Vedānta-śruti.

  O best among the twice-born, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve by discharging the duties prescribed for one's own occupation according to caste divisions and orders of life is to please the Personality of Godhead.
• Service unto the Devoteesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.16
  
  O twice-born sages, by serving those devotees who are completely freed from all vice, great service is done. By such service, one gains affinity for hearing the messages of Vāsudeva.
• The Book and the Person Bhagavataplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.18
  
  By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.
• Seeing the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.19
  
  As soon as irrevocable loving service is established in the heart, the effects of nature's modes of passion and ignorance, such as lust, desire and hankering, disappear from the heart. Then the devotee is established in goodness, and he becomes completely happy.
• Forms of the Lord and the Living Beingsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.23
  
  The transcendental Personality of Godhead is indirectly associated with the three modes of material nature, namely passion, goodness and ignorance, and just for the material world's creation, maintenance and destruction He accepts the three qualitative forms of Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva. Of these three, all human beings can derive ultimate benefit from Viṣṇu, the form of the quality of goodness.
• Quality of Worship and the Demigodsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.26
  
  Those who are serious about liberation are certainly nonenvious, and they respect all. Yet they reject the horrible and ghastly forms of the demigods and worship only the all-blissful forms of Lord Viṣṇu and His plenary portions.
• Lord Sri Krsna, or Vasudeva, Is All in Allplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.28-29
  
  In the revealed scriptures, the ultimate object of knowledge is Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead. The purpose of performing sacrifice is to please Him. Yoga is for realizing Him. All fruitive activities are ultimately rewarded by Him only. He is supreme knowledge, and all severe austerities are performed to know Him. Religion [dharma] is rendering loving service unto Him. He is the supreme goal of life.
• He Is All-Pervadingplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.32
  
  The Lord, as Supersoul, pervades all things, just as fire permeates wood, and so He appears to be of many varieties, though He is the absolute one without a second.

• 18th: Rama Incarnationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.22
  
  In the eighteenth incarnation, the Lord appeared as King Rāma. In order to perform some pleasing work for the demigods, He exhibited superhuman powers by controlling the Indian Ocean and then killing the atheist King Rāvaṇa, who was on the other side of the sea.
• 19th: Balarama Incarnationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.23
  
  In the nineteenth and twentieth incarnations, the Lord advented Himself as Lord Balarāma and Lord Kṛṣṇa in the family of Vṛṣṇi [the Yadu dynasty], and by so doing He removed the burden of the world.
• 20th: Krsna Incarnationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.23
  
  In the nineteenth and twentieth incarnations, the Lord advented Himself as Lord Balarāma and Lord Kṛṣṇa in the family of Vṛṣṇi [the Yadu dynasty], and by so doing He removed the burden of the world.
• 21st: Buddha Incarnationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.24
  
  Then, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, the Lord will appear as Lord Buddha, the son of Añjanā, in the province of Gayā, just for the purpose of deluding those who are envious of the faithful theist.
• 22nd: Kalki Incarnationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.25
  
  Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Viṣṇu Yaśā. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers.
• Lord Krsna, the Original Personality of Godheadplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.28
  
  All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists.
• His Virat-rupa, an Imaginationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.30
  
  The conception of the virāṭ universal form of the Lord, as appearing in the material world, is imaginary. It is to enable the less intelligent [and neophytes] to adjust to the idea of the Lord's having form. But factually the Lord has no material form.
• The Lord and the Living Being Are Both Spiritplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.31
  
  Clouds and dust are carried by the air, but less intelligent persons say that the sky is cloudy and the air is dirty. Similarly, they also implant material bodily conceptions on the spirit self.
• Self-realization Means Seeing the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.33
  
  Whenever a person experiences, by self-realization, that both the gross and subtle bodies have nothing to do with the pure self, at that time he sees himself as well as the Lord.
• He is Unknowable by Mental Speculationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.37
  
  The foolish with a poor fund of knowledge cannot know the transcendental nature of the forms, names and activities of the Lord, who is playing like an actor in a drama. Nor can they express such things, neither in their speculations nor in their words.
• Srimad-Bhagavatam Is the Cream of Historiesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.41
  
  Śrī Vyāsadeva delivered it to his son, who is the most respected among the self-realized, after extracting the cream of all Vedic literatures and histories of the universe.
• The Mode of Its Receptionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.42
  
  Śukadeva Gosvāmī, the son of Vyāsadeva, in his turn delivered the Bhāgavatam to the great Emperor Parīkṣit, who sat surrounded by sages on the bank of the Ganges, awaiting death without taking food or drink.
• Srimad-Bhagavatam Is the Representation of Lord Krsnaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.43
  
  This Bhāgavata Purāṇa is as brilliant as the sun, and it has arisen just after the departure of Lord Kṛṣṇa to His own abode, accompanied by religion, knowledge, etc. Persons who have lost their vision due to the dense darkness of ignorance in the age of Kali shall get light from this Purāṇa.
• Srimad-Bhagavatam and Its Incompatibilitiesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.44
  
  O learned brāhmaṇas, when Śukadeva Gosvāmī recited Bhāgavatam there [in the presence of Emperor Parīkṣit], I heard him with rapt attention, and thus, by his mercy, I learned the Bhāgavatam from that great and powerful sage. Now I shall try to make you hear the very same thing as I learned it from him and as I have realized it.

  SB 1.4.1On hearing Sūta Gosvāmī speak thus, Śaunaka Muni, who was the elderly, learned leader of all the ṛṣis engaged in that prolonged sacrificial ceremony, congratulated Sūta Gosvāmī by addressing him as follows.
• Paramahamsa Sukadeva Gosvamiplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.5
  
  While Śrī Vyāsadeva was following his son, beautiful young damsels who were bathing naked covered their bodies with cloth, although Śrī Vyāsadeva himself was not naked. But they had not done so when his son had passed. The sage inquired about this, and the young ladies replied that his son was purified and when looking at them made no distinction between male and female. But the sage made such distinctions.
• The Ideal King, Maharaja Pariksitplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.12
  
  Those who are devoted to the cause of the Personality of Godhead live only for the welfare, development and happiness of others. They do not live for any selfish interest. So even though the Emperor [Parīkṣit] was free from all attachment to worldly possessions, how could he give up his mortal body, which was shelter for others?
• Birthdate of Vyasadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.14
  
  Sūta Gosvāmī said: When the second millennium overlapped the third, the great sage [Vyāsadeva] was born to Parāśara in the womb of Satyavatī, the daughter of Vasu.
• His Activities in Preparing Transcendental Worksplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.15
  
  Once upon a time he [Vyāsadeva], as the sun rose, took his morning ablution in the waters of the Sarasvatī and sat alone to concentrate.
• Vedas Entrusted to Different Scholarsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.21
  
  After the Vedas were divided into four divisions, Paila Ṛṣi became the professor of the Ṛg Veda, Jaimini the professor of the Sāma Veda, and Vaiśampāyana alone became glorified by the Yajur Veda.
• Vedas Made Easy for the Less Intelligent Classplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.24
  
  Thus the great sage Vyāsadeva, who is very kind to the ignorant masses, edited the Vedas so they might be assimilated by less intellectual men.
• Mercy of Vyasadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.24
  
  Thus the great sage Vyāsadeva, who is very kind to the ignorant masses, edited the Vedas so they might be assimilated by less intellectual men.
• Unworthy Sons of the Higher Castesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.25
  
  Out of compassion, the great sage thought it wise that this would enable men to achieve the ultimate goal of life. Thus he compiled the great historical narration called the Mahābhārata for women, laborers and friends of the twice-born.
• Dissatisfaction of Vyasadeva and Its Causeplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.4.30
  
  I am feeling incomplete, though I myself am fully equipped with everything required by the Vedas.

  Nārada’s Instructions on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam for Vyāsadeva
  
  SB 1.5.1Sūta Gosvāmī said: Thus the sage amongst the gods [Nārada], comfortably seated and apparently smiling, addressed the ṛṣi amongst the brāhmaṇas [Vedavyāsa].SB 1.5.2Addressing Vyāsadeva, the son of Parāśara, Nārada inquired: Are you satisfied by identifying with the body or the mind as objects of self-realization?
• The Mind and the Bodyplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.2
  
  Addressing Vyāsadeva, the son of Parāśara, Nārada inquired: Are you satisfied by identifying with the body or the mind as objects of self-realization?
• Identification of Self with the Body or Mind Is the Cause of Despondencyplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.5
  
  Śrī Vyāsadeva said: All you have said about me is perfectly correct. Despite all this, I am not pacified. I therefore question you about the root cause of my dissatisfaction, for you are a man of unlimited knowledge due to your being the offspring of one [Brahmā] who is self-born [without mundane father and mother].
• The Cause Explainedplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.8
  
  Śrī Nārada said: You have not actually broadcast the sublime and spotless glories of the Personality of Godhead. That philosophy which does not satisfy the transcendental senses of the Lord is considered worthless.
• Flowery Language Without Divinity Is Condemnedplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.10
  
  Those words which do not describe the glories of the Lord, who alone can sanctify the atmosphere of the whole universe, are considered by saintly persons to be like unto a place of pilgrimage for crows. Since the all-perfect persons are inhabitants of the transcendental abode, they do not derive any pleasure there.
• Need of Preaching Srimad-Bhagavatamplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.10
  
  Those words which do not describe the glories of the Lord, who alone can sanctify the atmosphere of the whole universe, are considered by saintly persons to be like unto a place of pilgrimage for crows. Since the all-perfect persons are inhabitants of the transcendental abode, they do not derive any pleasure there.
• Nothing Is Good Without Godplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.12
  
  Knowledge of self-realization, even though free from all material affinity, does not look well if devoid of a conception of the Infallible [God]. What, then, is the use of fruitive activities, which are naturally painful from the very beginning and transient by nature, if they are not utilized for the devotional service of the Lord?
• Be Fixed upon the Complete Whole plugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.14
  
  Whatever you desire to describe that is separate in vision from the Lord simply reacts, with different forms, names and results, to agitate the mind as the wind agitates a boat which has no resting place.
• Human Frailtiesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.15
  
  The people in general are naturally inclined to enjoy, and you have encouraged them in that way in the name of religion. This is verily condemned and is quite unreasonable. Because they are guided under your instructions, they will accept such activities in the name of religion and will hardly care for prohibitions.
• A Boon to the Laymanplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.16
  
  The Supreme Lord is unlimited. Only a very expert personality, retired from the activities of material happiness, deserves to understand this knowledge of spiritual values. Therefore those who are not so well situated, due to material attachment, should be shown the ways of transcendental realization, by Your Goodness, through descriptions of the transcendental activities of the Supreme Lord.

• The Permanent Gainplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.19
  
  My dear Vyāsa, even though a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa sometimes falls down somehow or other, he certainly does not undergo material existence like others [fruitive workers, etc.] because a person who has once relished the taste of the lotus feet of the Lord can do nothing but remember that ecstasy again and again.
• Personal and Impersonal Features of the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.20
  
  The Supreme Lord Personality of Godhead is Himself this cosmos, and still He is aloof from it. From Him only has this cosmic manifestation emanated, in Him it rests, and unto Him it enters after annihilation. Your good self knows all about this. I have given only a synopsis.
• Purpose of All Cultural Assetsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.22
  
  Learned circles have positively concluded that the infallible purpose of the advancement of knowledge, namely austerities, study of the Vedas, sacrifice, chanting of hymns and charity, culminates in the transcendental descriptions of the Lord, who is defined in choice poetry.
• The Bhaktivedantasplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.24
  
  Although they were impartial by nature, those followers of the Vedānta blessed me with their causeless mercy. As far as I was concerned, I was self-controlled and had no attachment for sports, even though I was a boy. In addition, I was not naughty, and I did not speak more than required.
• Principles of Saintly Associationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.25
  
  Once only, by their permission, I took the remnants of their food, and by so doing all my sins were at once eradicated. Thus being engaged, I became purified in heart, and at that time the very nature of the transcendentalist became attractive to me.
• Miraculous Act of Hearing Bhdgavatamplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.26
  
  O Vyāsadeva, in that association and by the mercy of those great Vedāntists, I could hear them describe the attractive activities of Lord Kṛṣṇa And thus listening attentively, my taste for hearing of the Personality of Godhead increased at every step.
• Effects of Spiritual Associationplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.29
  
  I was very much attached to those sages. I was gentle in behavior, and all my sins were eradicated in their service. In my heart I had strong faith in them. I had subjugated the senses, and I was strictly following them with body and mind.
• Duties of a Neophyteplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.29

• Real Spiritual Masterplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.30
  
  As they were leaving, those bhakti-vedāntas, who are very kind to poor-hearted souls, instructed me in that most confidential subject which is instructed by the Personality of Godhead Himself.
• Meaning of Surrenderplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.32
  
  O Brāhmaṇa Vyāsadeva, it is decided by the learned that the best remedial measure for removing all troubles and miseries is to dedicate one's activities to the service of the Supreme Lord Personality of Godhead [Śrī Kṛṣṇa].
• The Cause of Miseriesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.34
  
  Thus when all a man's activities are dedicated to the service of the Lord, those very activities which caused his perpetual bondage become the destroyer of the tree of work.
• Import of Bhakti-yogaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.35
  
  Whatever work is done here in this life for the satisfaction of the mission of the Lord is called bhakti-yoga, or transcendental loving service to the Lord, and what is called knowledge becomes a concomitant factor.
• Cent Percent Engagementplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.5.36

• His Momentous Hankering for the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.15
  
  After that, under the shadow of a banyan tree in an uninhabited forest I began to meditate upon the Supersoul situated within, using my intelligence, as I had learned from liberated souls.
• Seeing the Lordplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.18
  
  The transcendental form of the Lord, as it is, satisfies the mind's desire and at once erases all mental incongruities. Upon losing that form, I suddenly got up, being perturbed, as is usual when one loses that which is desirable.
• Message of Godheadplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.21
  
  O Nārada [the Lord spoke], I regret that during this lifetime you will not be able to see Me anymore. Those who are incomplete in service and who are not completely free from all material taints can hardly see Me.
• Narada's Eternal Engagementplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.26
  
  Thus I began chanting the holy name and fame of the Lord by repeated recitation, ignoring all the formalities of the material world. Such chanting and remembering of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord are benedictory. So doing, I traveled all over the earth, fully satisfied, humble and unenvious.
• His Transcendental Bodyplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.27
  
  And so, O Brāhmaṇa Vyāsadeva, in due course of time I, who was fully absorbed in thinking of Kṛṣṇa and who therefore had no attachments, being completely freed from all material taints, met with death, as lightning and illumination occur simultaneously.
• His Reappearanceplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.29
  
  At the end of the millennium, when the Personality of Godhead Lord Nārāyaṇa lay down within the water of devastation, Brahmā began to enter into Him along with all creative elements, and I also entered through His breathing.
• His Freedom of Movement in All Planetsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.31
  
  Since then, by the grace of the almighty Viṣṇu, I travel everywhere without restriction both in the transcendental world and in the three divisions of the material world. This is because I am fixed in unbroken devotional service of the Lord.
• The Lord His Constant Companionplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.32
  
  And thus I travel, constantly singing the transcendental message of the glories of the Lord, vibrating this instrument called a vīṇā, which is charged with transcendental sound and which was given to me by Lord Kṛṣṇa.
• Comparative Importance of Bhakti-yoga and Mystic Powersplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.6.35
  
  It is true that by practicing restraint of the senses by the yoga system one can get relief from the disturbances of desire and lust, but this is not sufficient to give satisfaction to the soul, for this [satisfaction] is derived from devotional service to the Personality of Godhead.

  Thus he fixed his mind, perfectly engaging it by linking it in devotional service [bhakti-yoga] without any tinge of materialism, and thus he saw the Absolute Personality of Godhead along with His external energy, which was under full control.
• Acts of Maya, the Illusory Energyplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.5
  
  Due to this external energy, the living entity, although transcendental to the three modes of material nature, thinks of himself as a material product and thus undergoes the reactions of material miseries.
• Effects of Bhakti-yogaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.6
  
  The material miseries of the living entity, which are superfluous to him, can be directly mitigated by the linking process of devotional service. But the mass of people do not know this, and therefore the learned Vyāsadeva compiled this Vedic literature, which is in relation to the Supreme Truth.
• Effects of Hearing Srimad-Bhagavatamplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.7
  
  Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of lamentation, illusion and fearfulness.

• Special Attraction of the Great Literatureplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.9
  
  Śrī Śaunaka asked Sūta Gosvāmī: Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī was already on the path of self-realization, and thus he was pleased with his own self. So why did he take the trouble to undergo the study of such a vast literature?
• The Heart and Soul of the Devoteesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.11
  
  Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī, son of Śrīla Vyāsadeva, was not only transcendentally powerful. He was also very dear to the devotees of the Lord. Thus he underwent the study of this great narration [Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam].
• In Continuation of the Battle of Kuruksetraplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigŚrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.7.13-14
  
  When the respective warriors of both camps, namely the Kauravas and the Pāṇḍavas, were killed on the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra and the dead warriors obtained their deserved destinations, and when the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra fell down lamenting, his spine broken, being beaten by the club of Bhīmasena, the son of Droṇācārya [Aśvatthāmā] beheaded the five sleeping sons of Draupadī and delivered them as a prize to his master, foolishly thinking that he would be pleased. Duryodhana, however, disapproved of the heinous act, and he was not pleased in the least.
