Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 16/02/2012 - 18/02/2012 - Ekadasi on 18th FEB Saturday

SB 12.13.15

sarva-vedanta-saram hi

sri-bhagavatam isyate

tad-rasamrta-trptasya

nanyatra syad ratih kvacit


sarva-vedanta—of all Vedanta philosophy; saram—the essence; hi—indeed; sri-bhagavatam—Srimad-Bhagavatam; isyate—is said to be; tat—of it; rasa-amrta—by the nectarean taste; trptasya—for one who is satisfied; na—not; anyatra—elsewhere; syat—there is; ratih—attraction; kvacit—ever.

 

Srimad-Bhagavatam is declared to be the essence of all Vedanta philosophy. One who has felt satisfaction from its nectarean mellow will never be attracted to any other literature.

SB 12.13.16

nimna-ganam yatha ganga

devanam acyuto yatha

vaisnavanam yatha sambhuh

purananam idam tatha

 

nimna-ganam—of rivers flowing down to the sea; yatha—as; ganga—the Ganges; devanam—of all deities; acyutah—the infallible Supreme Personality of Godhead; yatha—as; vaisnavanam—of devotees of Lord Visnu; yatha—as; sambhuh—Siva; purananam—of Puranas; idam—this; tatha—similarly.

 

Just as the Ganga is the greatest of all rivers, Lord Acyuta the supreme among deities and Lord Sambhu [Siva] the greatest of Vaisnavas, so Srimad-Bhagavatam is the greatest of all Puranas.

Suta Gosvami
