All three volumes of the fourth song are combined into one file.
In chapters of 1-12 fourth Sherimad Bhagavatam song, which is called the Creation of the Fourth Level, the reader learns about the first of our parents - the descendants of Skymbahwa Manu, the progenitor of the human race on Earth. Two his sons were the first to have the opportunity to rule the land - Bharatavarshawn. Sovkymbhuva himself lived on another planet and from there gave instructions to his sons. The reader will meet and with the genealogical tree of descendants of Sovetvyambhwa Manu, whose generic branches stretched for many millennia. A significant figure in this pedigree looks like the Great King Dhruva, who in order to see God's eyes, I made extraordinary asksui away from the kingdom: stood on one leg, did not eat, did not drink and almost did not breathe a few months. So, he subordinated to his self-physicons of the space laws of the Universe and achieved a meeting with the Supreme Lord, who gave him all the blessings.
Chapters 13-23 describes in detail the wealth that land initially prepared for people's activities. These wealth are uncomplicated. Seeds, roots, herbs and cereals give people a variety of food. Rain moisture, held by the plains, creates favorable conditions for growing vegetables and cereals. Minerals are delivered to the plains from the mountainous area. The seas produce precious stones, such as pearls. The abundance and prosperity of nature in any locality depends on whether all these seeds, cereals, etc. are located in whose hands. How people managed by riches provided them are, so they receive certain benefits in the future.
The chapters 24-31 give a song to the glory of the Most High, drinking the Lord Shiviva, one of the powerful demigods of this world. Then here is a breathtaking allegorical story about Tsar Puranjan and his life in the material world. Information about the resettlement of the soul, about the acts of puchs and the instructions of Narada Muni regarding human activity are also provided.

Preface to the English edition. From publishing
"This" Bhagavata-Purana "shines like the sun. She climbed immediately after the Lord Krishna 1
All names and geographical names in the book (for rare, especially specified exceptions) are given in Sanskrit transliteration. (See "Sanskrit Pronouncement Guide").
(And with him religion, knowledge and so on.) Removed into his abode. This purana carries light to people who have lost the ability to see in the impenetrable darkness of the ignorance of the yoke of Cali. " (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.43)
Listening to time, the wisdom of India found its expression in the Vedas - ancient Sanskrit texts covering all areas of human knowledge. Initially, the Vedas were transmitted hersal; Five thousand years ago, they were first recorded by Srila Wyasadeva - the "literary incarnation of God." Making Vedas, Vyasadeva outlined their essence in aphorism, known as "Vedanta-Sutry". Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata-Purana) is a comment of Vyasadevy to his "Vedanta-Sutra." He was written at the time of the spiritual maturity of the author under the leadership of Narada Muni, his spiritual teacher. Srimad-Bhagavatam, called the "mature fruit of the Vedic literature", is the most complete and authoritative presentation of Vedic knowledge.
To reaching "Bhagavatam", Wayas handed him a brief content to his son, wiselyu Schukadeva Goswami. Subsequently, Shukadyev Goswami fully told Bhagavatam Maharaja Parikshit in the presence of the saints of the wise men, who gathered on the banks of the Ganges of Hastinapur. Maharaja Parikshit was the emperor of the world and great Rajarshi (holy king). He was warned that in a week he would die, so he left his kingdom and retired to the shore of the ganggie to fast to death and gain spiritual enlightenment. "Bhagavatam" opens by the appeal of Emperor Parikshit to Shukadeva Goswami: "You are a spiritual teacher of the great saints and devotees. Therefore, I ask you to indicate the way to perfection to all people, and especially those who stand on the threshold of death. We will tell you that you should listen to a person what to repeat what to remember and what to worship, and what he should not do. I ask you, explain all this. "
For seven days, up to the death of the king, the sages lurk the answers to Schukadeva Goswami on this and many other questions defined by Maharaja Parikshit and relating to all, ranging from the nature of the person and ending with the origin of the universe. The sage of Suta Goswami, who was present at the meeting, where Shukadeva Goswami first exposed Srimad-Bhagavatam, subsequently repeated "Bhagavatam" before the sages gathered in the forest of the highest. Taking care of the spiritual well-being of all mankind, these wise men gathered to commit a long chain of sacrifice, designed to counteract the destructive influence of the Cali's starting century. In response to the request of the wise men, to present the essence of the Vedic wisdom, the Suta Goswami repeated all eighteen thousand poems by Srimad-Bhagavatam, who earlier Shukadeva Goswami told Maharaja Parikshit.
The reader of Srimad-Bhagavatam meets the questions of Maharaja Parikshit and the answers of Shukadeva Goswami, who retells the Suta Goswami. In addition, sometimes the Suta Goswami himself answers the questions of Southak Rishi, heading the meeting of the wise men in the highest. Therefore, the reader is watching immediately for two dialogues: the first thing that took place on the banks of the ganggie between Maharaji Parikshit and Shukadeva Goswami, and the second, held between the sort of goswami and the wise men led by Shaunaku Rishi in the forest of the highest. In addition, in his instructions, the king Parikshit Shukadeva Goswami often gives examples from history and excerpts from long philosophical conversations between such great souls as Narada Muni and Vasudeva. Knowing the prehistory "Bhagavatam", the reader will be able to easily understand the plexus of dialogues and events taken from different sources. Since the most important thing in the narrative is not a chronological order, but the philosophical wisdom, quite simply take care of what is said in Srimad-Bhagavatam, in order to appreciate the depth of this work.
The translator of this publication compares "Bhagavatam" with a lollipop, in which each piece is equally sweet. So you can taste the sweetness "Bhagavatam" by starting reading from any volume. However, a serious reader after such a "tasting" is recommended to return to the first song and study "Bhagavatam" consistently, a song for a song.
The proposed edition of Bhagavatam is the first full translation of this priceless text into English, which has become available to a wide range of English-speaking readers. The translation is equipped with detailed comments. The first nine songs and the beginning of the tenth song - the fruit of his divine mercy of A.Ch. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-acarya of the International Society of Consciousness of Krishna - the most outstanding teacher of Indian religious and philosophical thought. His excellent knowledge of Sanskrit, combined with deep awareness in matters of both Vedic culture and thought and modern life, allowed him to submit a magnificent presentation of this outstanding work of an ancient Indian classics onto the western reader's court. After in 1977, Srila Prabhupada left this world, his monumental work - the translation and commenting "Srimad-Bhagavatam" - was completed by His disciples of Christianand Dom Goswami and Gopiapandhana Das.
The proposed product is valuable in many ways. For those who are interested in the sources of ancient Indian civilization, it provides extensive and detailed information to almost all its aspects. We study the comparative philosophy and religion "Bhagavatam" will give the opportunity to deeply delve into the essence of the spiritual heritage of India. Sociologists and anthropologists will find examples of the practical application of the principles of peaceful and scientifically organized Vedic society, the basis of the unity of which was a highly developed spiritual worldview. Literature, the magnificent poetic masterpiece will open for themselves. Those who study psychology will discover a new look at the nature of the consciousness, human behavior and philosophical understanding of the personality. Finally, those who are engaged in spiritual searches, Bhagavatam provides an easy practical guide to achieving the highest level of self-knowledge and awareness of absolute truth. We hope that this multi-volume work prepared by the publishing house "Bhaktivetanta Beech Trust" will take a worthy place in the intellectual, cultural and spiritual life of a modern man, and that he is destined to a long life.
Preface
We need to know what modern human society needs. What does he need? Geographical frontiers no longer share humanity to different countries or communities. Human society is not as closed as in the Middle Ages, and there is a tendency to form a single state in the world, or a single society. According to Srimad-Bhagavatam, the ideals of spiritual communism in one way or another are based on the unity of the whole human society, and moreover, on the unity of the energy of all living beings. Great thinkers see the need to distribute this ideology, and Srimad-Bhagavatam will satisfy this need for humanity. This work begins with the aphorism of the philosophy Vedanta Janmady Asia Yatah, who approves the idea of \u200b\u200ba single root cause.
Currently, human society is not in the darkness of oblivion. Around the world, it has achieved significant progress in creating material amenities, education and economic development. But somewhere in the public organism, the source of irritation, similar to the opposition, is maintained, and therefore large-scale conflicts arise even at the most minor reasons. It is necessary to find a way to peace, friendship and prosperity of mankind, united by a common matter. Srimad-Bhagavatam will fulfill this task, as it is a cultural program of new spiritualization of the whole human society.
To change the demonic appearance of society, it is also necessary to introduce the study of Srimad-Bhagavatam in schools and colleges, as recommended by the great devotee of Prahlada Maharaja, when he himself was still a student.

The cause of social disharmony is the unprincipledness of an atheistic society. There is an almighty Lord, from which everything comes, which everything stores and in which everything returns to peace. Attempts to materialist science to detect the initial cause of creation did not lead to success, but such a single reason is undoubtedly exists. A logical and authoritative explanation of this initial source of all the existing is given in the beautiful "Bhagavatam", or Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Srimad-Bhagavatam is a transcendental science that allows not only to comprehend this initial source, but also to learn about our relations with him and our responsibilities to improve human society based on this perfect knowledge. This work written in Sanskrit has a huge effect of exposure. Now it is carefully translated into English, so, just carefully reading him, a person will be able to grasp God perfectly, and this knowledge will be enough to resist atheist attacks. Moreover, the person who read it will be able to bring other people to recognizing God as a real root cause.
Srimad-Bhagavatam begins with the definition of the original source of all things. It is a genuine commentary to Vedanta-Sutra, compiled by the same author, Srila Wyasadeva, and, consistently reading the first nine songs, a person rises to the highest stage of the awareness of God. The only thing that is necessary for studying this great book of transcendental knowledge is to read it consistently, step by step, without running forward, as is done when reading ordinary books. It is necessary consistently, one by one, to study all its chapters. The structure of the book, including the original Sanskrit texts, transliteration, synonyms, translation and comments, is such that by reading the first nine songs, the reader will certainly come to the awareness of God.
The tenth song differs from the first nine, because it is devoted to the direct transcendental activity of God, Sri Krishna. The meaning of the tenth song will not open to the one who has not studied the first nine. The whole book consists of twelve independent songs, but it is best to read them in small parts, one after another.
I have to recognize my shortcomings in the presentation of Srimad-Bhagavatam, but still I hope that he will be warmly met by the thinking people and the leaders of society. Such confidence is based on the following statement by Bhagavatam himself (1.5.11):

"On the other hand, a work that contains the descriptions of the transcendental greatness of name, fame, shapes and games of the Illictional Supreme Lord, is a transcendental creation designed to make a coup in the unjust life of the society confused. Such a transcendental work, despite its shortcomings, listen, sing and take clean and immaculately honest people. "

Introduction
The concepts of "God" and "Absolute Truth" are unequivocal. The purpose of Srimad-Bhagavatam is the absolute truth. The concept of "God" refers to the Lord, while the concept of "absolute truth" takes place to the sum of bonum 2
Amount bonum (lat.) - Higher good
- original source of all energies. Everyone converge on the fact that God as a lord must have the features of personality, as the lord cannot be impersonal. Of course, the modern government, especially the democratic, to some extent impersonal, but ultimately the head of government is a person, and the impersonal aspect of the government is subordinate to the personal. Thus, since it is soon coming to manage others, it is necessary to recognize the existence of a personal aspect. There are various lords that occupy various posts, so there may be a lot of secondary gods. According to Bhagavad-gita, each lord possessing special power is called Vibhutimat-Sattva, the Lord, whom the Lord entered power. There are many vibrhutimat-satvs - lords, or gods with some kind of special forces, but the absolute truth is one and only one. In Srimad-Bhagavatam, the absolute truth, or the amount of bonum, is called Param Satyam.
The author of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Srila Vyasadeva, first of all, in deep respects leans before Param Satyam (absolute truth). And since Satyam Param is the original source of all energies, it is a supreme personality. Gods, that is, the lords, undoubtedly, personality, but Param Satyam, from which they receive their power, is the Supreme Personality. Sanskrit's word Ishwara (Lord) conveys the idea of \u200b\u200bGod, but the Supreme Person is called Parameshvara, that is, the Supreme Ishvara. Parameshwara is the Supreme Personality, which has consciousness, and since it does not draw his power from any other sources, it is absolutely independent. In the Vedic Scriptures of Brahma is called the Supreme God, or the main among the rest of the gods - such as Indra, Chandra, Varuna, and so on. - However, Srimad-Bhagavat asserts that even Brahma is dependent in its power and knowledge. Knowledge in the form of the Vedas was obtained by him from the Supreme Person, staying in the heart of every living being. Supreme identity directly and indirectly knows about everything. Infinitely small individual individuals, being inalienable particles of the Supreme Person, can directly and indirectly know everything about their bodies, that is, external qualities, but the Supreme Person knows everything both about the external and internal qualities.
Janmady Asia means that the source of creation, conservation and destruction is the same as the Supreme Personality consciousness. Even in its current experience, we know that nothing arises from the inert matter, but the living being can generate inert matter. For example, entering into contact with the material body, a living creature turns the body into a valid mechanism. People of scarce knowledge mistakenly take the body mechanism for a living being, but in fact a living being - the basis of the body mechanism. As soon as a live spark leaves the body of the body, it becomes useless. By analogy with this, the initial source of all material energy is the Supreme Personality, as stated in all Vedic Scriptures. This truth is recognized by all followers of spiritual science. Living force is called Brahman, and one of the greatest achairov (teachers) Schripad Shankaracharya taught that Brahman is a substance, and the Space World is a category. The original source of all energies is a living force, and it is logical to recognize it by the Supreme Person. Therefore, he knows everything: the past, present and future, as well as every corner of its manifestations - spiritual and material. A imperfect living creature does not even know what is happening in his own body. It consumes food, but does not know how this food is converted into energy and supports his body. The perfect living creature should know about everything that is happening, and since the Supreme Person is not at all, it is quite natural that it is known for everything in all details. Therefore, in Srimad-Bhagavatam, they turn to the perfect person as Vasudeva - the one who resides everywhere, all the conscious and fully owning their perfect energy. This is explained in detail in Srimad-Bhagavatam, which provides the reader with rich opportunities for a thorough study of this subject.
In the current era of Sriimad-Bhagavatam, the Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu preached, who showed him on his own example how to follow his principles. To enter the essence of Srimad-Bhagavatam is easier if you resort to the rapid grace of Sri Chaitanya. Therefore, to help the reader to appreciate Srimad-Bhagavatam, we bring a brief description of his life and instructions here.
Srimad-Bhagavatam must be studied under the guidance of the Person Bhagavatam. Bhagavatam is a person, whose life is a practical embodiment of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Since Sri Chaitania Mahaprabhu is the absolute identity of God, he and Bhagavan, and Bhagavatam in person and sound. Therefore, his approach to exploring Srimad-Bhagavatam is available to all people all over the world. And he wanted those who happened to be born in India, preached Srimad-Bhagavatam in all corners of the world.
Srimad-Bhagavatam is the science of Krishna, the absolute personality of God, the initial information about which is given in Bhagavad-gita. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that anyone, regardless of his position, could become an authoritative mentor or a preacher of science about Krishna, if he studied this science well - Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-Gita.
The knowledge of Krishna is needed to suffering humanity, and we ask the leaders of all countries for their own good, the benefits of society and the whole world to take advantage of this science about Krishna.
A brief essay of the life and teachings of Lord Chaitanya, Preacher Shrimad-Bhagavatam
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the great apostle of love for God and the founder of joint chanting of the Holy name of the Lord, revealed himself in Sridham Maipur, one of the quarters of Navadvipa in Bengal, in the evening of Pokguni Purnem 1407, Era Shakabda (which corresponds to February 1486 in the Christian calendar).
His father Sri Jagannatha Misra, Scientist Brahman from Silheth district, came to study in Navaddavip, who considered the center of education and culture at that time. After marriage to Srimati Shachiyov, the daughter of Srila Nilambara Chakravarti, the Great Scientist Navadvipa, it was forever settled on the bank of the ganggie.
Jagannatha Misher and his wife Srimati Shachidov were born several daughters, most of whom were died at an early age, and then all parent love was given to the two remaining sons, Sri Vishwarpe and Vishvambhare. The tenth, the youngest child named Vishwambhara later became known as Nimai Pangit, and then, after the adoption of renunciation - as the Lord Sri Chaitania Mahaprabhu.
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was his transcendental acts for forty-eight years and left this world in 1455 Era Shakabda in Puri.
For the first twenty-four years of his life, he lived in Navaddada as a student and householder. His first wife was Srimati Lakshmpria, who died at an early age when the Lord was in the absence. Returning from East Bengal, he at the request of his mother married the second time. The second wife became Srimati Vishnopria, the Devi, who had suffered from separation from the Lord, who accepted Sannyas at the age of twenty-four, when she was almost sixteen.
Having accepted Sannyas, the Lord at the request of his mother Srimati Shachidova settled in Jagannath Puri. In Puri, the Lord remained for twenty-four years. Six of them, he continuously wandered throughout India (especially in its southern part), preaching Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Lord Chayatania preached not only by Srimad-Bhagavatam, but also the teachings of Bhagavad-Gita in the most affordable form. In Bhagavad-gita, the Lord Sri Krishna speaks as the absolute personality of God, and his final instruction in this great book transcendental wisdom says that it is necessary to leave all kinds of religious activities and accept it (Lord Sri Krishna) as the only object of worship. Then the Lord assures that all his devotees will be fenced from all souls, and they will not have reasons for anxiety.
Unfortunately, despite the direct command of the Lord Sri Krishna and the Teaching "Bhagavad-Gita", there are mistaken people mistakenly consider it just a great historical personality, and thus, they do not recognize the original personality of God. People with such insignificant knowledge are misleading numerous unnecessary. Even the great scientists incorrectly interpret the teachings of Bhagavad-Gita. After the departure of Lord, Sri Krishna appeared hundreds of comments to Bhagavad-gita, written by erudite scientists, but almost all of them pursued some personal goals.
Lord Sri Chaitania Mahaprabhu is the Lord of Sri Krishna himself. However, this time he appeared as a great devotee of the Lord to tell people and, in particular, religious figures and philosophers, about the transcendental situation of Sri Krishna, the original Lord - the reasons for all reasons. The essence of his sermon is that the Lord Sri Krishna, who was in Vrudjabhumi (Vrindavan) as the son of King Ordigi (Nanda Maharaja), there is a Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore he is an object of worship for everyone. Vrindavana-dham is not enough from the Lord, because the name, glory, a form and place where the Lord manifests itself, identical to the Lord, being absolute knowledge. Consequently, Vrndavana-Dhama should be memorically as the Lord himself. The highest form of transcendental worship of the Lord in the form of pure love for him was shown by Vradjabhumi, and Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu recommends this method as the highest form of worship. He sees in Srimad-Bhagavata-Purana immaculate Scripture, helping to comprehend the Lord, and teaches that the highest goal of life of all people is the achievement of the stage of premium, love for God.
Such devotees of the Lord Chaitanya, like Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur, Sri Lochan Das Thakur, Srila Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami, Sri Kuviculthapura, Sri Prabodhananda Sarasvati, Sri Rupa Goswami, Sri Sranatana Goswami, Sri Raghunath Bhatta Goswami, Sri Jiva Goswami, Sri Gopal Bhahatta Goswami, Sri Raghunath Dasa Goswami, and over the past two centuries Sri Vishvanatha Chakravarti, Sri Baladyev Vijabhushan, Sri Smyamananda Goswami, Sri Notrotam Das Thakur, Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakur, and, finally, Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur (our spiritual teacher) and many other great and glorified Scientists and devotees of the Lord made up extensive literature on the life and instructions of the Lord. All these works are based on such shares as Vedas, Purans, Upanishads, Ramayan, Mahabharata, and other historical legends and genuine scriptures recognized by outstanding acaryami. They are unique in composition, do not matter equal in the manner of presentation and executed transcendental knowledge. Unfortunately, the world still does not know anything about them, but when these books, written, mainly on Sanskrit and Bengali, will become accessible to thinking people, carrying their light to the world, Glory and the message of love India will spread throughout this vicious world, in vain The achieving consent and prosperity of various illusory methods that are not approved by acarya, belonging to the chain of student continuity.
The readers of this brief essay of the life and instructions of the Lord Caitania will benefit for themselves for themselves, having familiarized themselves with the books of Srila Vrindavan Das Thakura (Sri Chaitanya-Bhagavata) and Srila Krishnadas Kaviraji Goswami (Sri Charitamarita). The early years of the Lord's life are miraculously described by the author of "Chaitania-Bhagavata", which concerns his teachings, then it is more pronounced in Charitamy-Charitamrit. Currently, thanks to our book "The teachings of Sri Chaitanya" it became available to English-speaking readers.
The early years of the Lord's life are described by one of his closest devotees and contemporaries, Srila Murari Gupta, while a practicing doctor, and a later period of the life of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu highlighted his personal secretary of Sri Damodara Goswami (Sri Laurry Damodara), which was practically not separated from Lord in Puri. These two devotees described almost all the events in which the Lord participated, and subsequently on the basis of these Kadach (records), Srila Damodara Goswami and Murari Gupta were drawn up the above-mentioned books telling about the Lord.
So, the Lord revealed himself in the evening of Pokguni Purnema 1407, Era Shakabda. By the will of the Lord, this evening was the lunar eclipse. Usually, during the lunar eclipse, the Indians perform ablution in the waters of the gangs and other sacred rivers and for cleansing are considered Vedic mantras. Therefore, when the Lord Chaitanya was born during the lunar eclipse, the sacred sounds of Krishna Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare Khara / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, were heard from India. These sixteen names of the Lord are mentioned in many Puranahs and Upanishads and are called Tarak Brahma by this century. The seasters say that the repetition of these holy names of the Lord without insults can free the fallen soul from the material slavery. The Lord is called countless names both in India and beyond, and they are all equally good, because they denote the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But since these sixteen names are recommended specifically for the current era, it is necessary to take advantage of them and follow the path of the Great Acheers who have achieved success due to the compliance of the rules prescribed by the chasts (sabling writings).
The coincidence of the phenomenon of the Lord with a lunar eclipse indicates a special character of his mission. This mission was to preach the importance of chanting the holy names of the Lord to the age of Kali (eyelids of the discord). In this century, conflicts arise in the slightest occasion, therefore, for the current century, Sasters offer the universal basis for self-awareness - chanting the holy names of the Lord. People can gather together and melodious singing to glorify the Lord in their own language, and if you do this without insults, then over time, the participants of these meetings undoubtedly achieved spiritual perfection without resorting to more harsh methods. At such meetings, scientists and fools, rich and poor people, Hindus and Muslims, the British and Indians, Chandala and Brahmans - everyone can listen to transcendental sounds, thereby cleansing the mirror of their heart from dust that has accumulated as a result of contact with matter. To support the mission of the Lord, the people of the whole world will accept the holy name of the Lord as a single basis of the universal religion. In other words, the holy name was lowered to Earth simultaneously with the Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Another baby, the Lord instantly stopped crying, cost the people around him to start singing holy names and clap his hands. Neighbors observed this extraordinary phenomenon with trepidation and reverence. Sometimes young girls were amused by the fact that they first forced the Lord cry, and then calmed him with the sounds of the Holy Name. So from early childhood, the Lord began to preach the importance of chanting the Holy Name. In the early years of his life, Lord Sri Chaitanya was known under the name of Nimai. This name gave him a loving mother, because the Lord was born under the village of Nimba, grew in the yard of the parent home.
When at the age of six months, when performing the rite of Anna-Prazan, the Lord was offered hard food, he gave to know about his future activity. During this rite, it was customary to offer a child to choose a coin and books to get some idea of \u200b\u200bhis future inclinations. The Lord was brought from one side of the coin, and on the other - Srimad-Bhagavatam. The Lord chose Bhagavatam.
One day, when he was still a baby and crawled in the yard, a snake appeared, and the Lord began to play with her. All households froze in horror, but after a while the snake crashed, and the mother took the baby. Once he was kidnapped by the thief and, intending to steal his decorations, was looking for a secluded place. The Lord gladly ride on the shoulders of the thief. It turned out that the lost thief, having gotten up from the way, eventually found himself right in front of the house of Jagannathi Misher. Fighting that he was caught, he threw the boy. Alarmed parents and relatives, of course, were very pleased that the child was found.
Once in the House of Jagannathi, Misra took Brahman Pilgrim, and when he offered food to God, the Lord appeared in front of him and tried cooked dishes. The food had to be recognized unfit, because the child had already touched her, and Brahman was forced to prepare again. But the same thing happened for the second time, and when it happened and for the third time, the child was finally put in bed. At about midnight, when all the inhabitants of the house slept tightly, closing in their rooms, and the wandering brahman again offered the deity cooked food, the Lord's boy appeared before the pilgrim, as before, the Lord's boy appeared and spoiled again. Then Brahman cried, but since everyone slept tightly, no one heard him. This time, the Lord's child revealed his identity with Krishna himself to Lucky Brahman. Forbidden Brahman to talk about what happened, the baby went to sleep towards his mother.
As a child, there were many similar cases with him. As a mischievous child, he loved to unintelligently the orthodox brahmins, as usual of the ablution in Ganges. When the brahmanas complained his father, that, instead of visiting the school, he shalit in the river, splashing on them with water, the Lord immediately appeared in front of his father in school uniform and with books, as if he had just returned from school. Hatha (places for ablution) he often fucked over neighboring girls who worshiped Shiva to get a good husband. This custom is common among unmarried girls in Hindu families. When they committed this rite, the Lord, loosened, appeared in front of them, saying: "My dear sisters, better give me all the offering that you brought Shiva for Lord. Lord Shiva is my devotee, and Parvati is my maid. You will deliver Lord Shiva and other demigods more pleasure if you worship me. " Some of them refused to obey the silent Lord, and then he cursed them. For his refusal, they had to get in the husbands of old people with seven children from previous wives. Girls - which of fear, who of love - offered him various gifts, and the Lord blessed them, wrapping that they would get very good young husbands, and they would give birth to a dozen children. This blessing inspired girls, but they still often complained to their mothers on his pranks.
So the early childhood of the Lord passed. When he was almost sixteen years old, he opened his own Chatuchpathi (rural school, headed by scientist Brahman). In this school, even in grammar classes, he told about Krishna. To give pleasure to the Lord, Srila Jiva Goswami subsequently compiled a textbook on Sanskrit grammar, in which all the rules were explained in the examples with the holy names of the Lord. This textbook uses until now. It is called "Hari-Namamrit-Vyakaran" and is included in the program of Bengal schools.
At that time, the Great Kashmir Keshava Kashmiri scientist arrived in Navadvipa to participate in the chassis disputes. Kashmir Pandit was considered an invincible scientist. He visited all the places of India, famous for his scholarship, and finally came to Navidvipa to face the forces with local Pandits. Navadvipa Pandits decided to set against Kashmir Pandit Nimai Pandit (Lord Chaitanya), judging that if Nimai Pandit was defeated, they would have the opportunity to fight scientists, since Nimai Pandit was still a boy. If the Kashmir Panita will defeat the defeat, then it will only multiply their glory, as people will say that a simple boy from Navadvipa defeated the invincible scientist known to the whole of India. It happened so that Nimai Pandit met Keshawa Kashmiri, walking along the banks of the ganggie. The Lord asked him to touch Hangu in verses in Sanskrit, and Pandark instantly composed a hundred shlock and read them at the speed of hurricane, demonstrating his uncommon scholarship. Nimai Pandit from one time unmistakably remembered by heart all shlocks. He quoted sixty-fourth should and pointed out some rhetorical and literary errors in it. In particular, he questioned the correctness of the use of Pandit for the words of Bhavani Bhartukh, saying that it was Tavtology. Bhavani means "Wife Shiva", so who else can be her bitch, husband? He noted a few more inaccuracies, and the Kashmir scientist was dumbfounded in surprise. He was struck that a simple student studying grammar was able to notice stylistic errors in an erudite scientist. Although it happened before the public meeting, the news about this with a lightning speed was shielded all of Navadvipa. It ended in that Sarasvati, the goddess of the scholarship, appearing by Keshava Kashmiri in a dream, told him to submit to the Lord, and Pandan from Kashmir became the follower of the Lord.

Introduction.
Hi, Gabriel Pradīpaka Once Again. The Title of this Great Work Means The Following: The Venerable And Beautiful Story Purāṇa or Ancient Story (Purāṇa) About the Fortunate One (Bhāgavata). The Final "T" (A Hard Consonant) in "śrīmat" is Changed to "D" (A Soft Consonant) Because It is Followed by A Soft Consonant Such As "BH" (See the 3 rd sub-rule of the 2 nd Rule of Consonant Sandhi for more information). The term "śrīmat" is generally utilized to replace the usual "śrī" (Venerable), But i Wanted to Add Another of Its Meanings To the Translation in order to Spice IT Up a Little Bit: "Beautiful". Thus, "śrīmat" Would Mean "Venerable and Beautiful" in My Opinion. Sometimes The Name Of this Book Is Present Simply As: śrībhāgavatapurāṇa, śrībhāgavata or Even Bhāgavata. Also, The Name śrīmadbhāgavata is commonly used. Now And the Name Contains a "M" AT The End: E.G. "Śrīmadbhāgavatapurāṇam". UNDER These PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT "M" IS INDICATORY OF NOMINATIVE CASE, SINGULAR NUMBER, NEUTER GENDER OF NOUNS ENDING IN "A". AS The Word "Purāṇa" is a Neuter Noun Ending in "A", The Letter "M" is to be Added to Indicate ITS Case, Number and Gender. See the "Declension" Subsection Within The "Sanskrit" Section for more information. Nonetheless, In Titles, I Generally Prefer to Write The Words in their "PrātiPadika" Aspect or CRUDE FORM (No Case, Gender or Number), I.E. Such As Occur in the Dictionaries, So That People Will Not Get Get Confused.
The Word "Bhāgavata" Means "Related to Bhagavat or the Fortunate One." The term "Bhagavat" is in general translated AS "Lord", But Its Real Meaning Is "One Who Has Bhaga or Good Fortune, Welfare, etc.". As a Result, The Translation "Fortunate One" is a Better Translation Than "Lord". Of Course, The Fortunate One Is The Lord, But I Wanted My Translation to Be More Accurate.
This Is One of the Eighteen Purāṇa-s or Ancient Stories. In My Document About the Gurugītā You Will Find More Information About Purāṇa-s. All These Massive Works Were Composed by The Celebrated VedaVyāsa (Or Vyāsa Plainly). VedaVyāsa Was The Compiler of the Veda-S, The Author of the Famous Vedāntasūtra (Also Called "Brahmasūtra"), The Lengthy Mahābhārata and a long etc. HE WAS REALLY PROLIFIC AS A COMPILER / WRITER. In Fact, He Is Very Often Called The "Literary Incarnation of the Lord" Because of the Immense Literature He Produced, Which Is The Base of Practically The Entire Hinduism.
The Word "Vyāsa" DERIVES from the root "VYAS" (to Arrange, Divide, etc.). SO, "Vyāsa" Means "One Who Arranges, Divides, Etc.", I.E. A compiler. The Story of Vedavyāsa Is Very Interesting. He Is Also Known AS "Dvaipāyana", Because He Was Born on a Small "Dvīpa" or island in the river ganges. The Vyāsa "S Guru Is Nārada. Nārada is a Devarṣi, IE A Divine ṛṣi or SEER. He is supposed to be a Messenger Between Gods and Men. Nārada is Commonly Depicted Playing His Vīṇā (A Kind Of Indian Lute) While He Flies. In Other Words, He Is Not a Mere Mortal AS You Can See, Hehe.
In Spite of Having Compiled Such A Huge Works As Mahābhārata, Veda-S, etc., Vyāsa Felt That Something Was Lacking. Then, Nārada Appeared and Told Him That He Should Compose A Dealing with the Pastimes of Bhagavat, I.E. Lord Kṛṣṇa. Vyāsa Did His Guru "S Bidding and Wrote The Bhāgavata Or śrīmadbhāgavatapurāṇa, The Scripture I Am Talking ABOUT.
Śuka (Also Called śukadeva) Was a son of vyāsa. He Was Born Perfect, To Wit, He Needed Not Any Guru or Initiation to Attain Enlightem Because He Already Was An Emancipated Soul. AS A TEENGER, HE Left His Home and Started Wandering About Who Renounces All Worldly Activities).
At That Time, There Was Also A Great Monarch Called Parīkṣit. He Was a Virtuous King and The Only One Who Could Prevent The Upcoming Kaliyuga (Age of Quarrel or Discord) from Entering. According to the Vedic Knowledge, There Are Four Ages or Yuga-S: Kṛta or Satya (1,728,000 Human Years), Tretā (1,296,000 Human Years), Dvāpara (864,000 Human Years) and Kali (432,000 Human Years). The Former (Kṛta or Satya) Is The Most Virtuous Yuga, While The Latter, Viz. Kali, Is the Worst One. The Four Agees Comprise A Period of 4,320,000 Human Years, Which is Known As Mahāyuga or Great Yuga. In Turn, 1,000 Mahāyuga-S (4,320,000,000 Human Years) Constitute A Kalpa (12 Hours of Brahmā, The God Creating The Universe). Thus, a day of brahmā lasts 8,640,000,000 Human Years. BRAHMā LIVES 100 YEARS AND EACH OF THOSE YEARS CONTAINS 360 Days. Thus, Brahmā Lives The Astonishing Quantity of 311,040,000,000,000 Human Years. AT PRESENT BRAHMā IS 51 YEARS OLD.
Every Brahmā "s night lasting a Kalpa (ie 1,000 Mahāyuga-s or 4,320,000,000 human years), he sleeps and therefore the entire universe is momentarily annihilated till he wakes up again. Anyway, when Brahmā dies, the universe is completely obliterated and such a Destruction Lasts Other 100 Years (IE 311,040,000,000,000 Human Years). On the Other Hand, There Are Innumerable Brahmā-s Creating Other Universes ... Oh Well. There Are Also Different Interpretations of the Quantities, But It Is Not Relevant in This Context. I Personally Think That Worrying About If Those QuantiTies Are Completely Right Or Not Is Like A Person Dying by Starvation And At The Same Time Being Worried About How Rich A Particular Tycoon Is. So, Let US Leave Brahmā and His Life Span Alone, Please, Hehe.
Getting Back to the Story, Kaliyuga Needed to Enter This World, But King Parīkṣit Was In Its Way. Parīkṣit Was A Son Of Abhimanyu (A Son Of Arjuna Himself). Therefore, He Was a Grandson of Arjuna, One of the Five Celebrated Pāṇḍava-S (Reputed Sons of King Pāṇḍu) Who Won The Mahābhārata War. Also, Since Pāṇḍu Was A Son of Vyāsa, In Reality Parīkṣit Was Also Great-Great-Grandson of Vyāsa. Oh Well, Sorry If there are some possible mistakes in the relationships But i Was Never Good at Family Affairs. Read My Introduction to Bhagavadgītā for more information about all Those CHARACTSERS. There You Will Understand As Well WHY I WROTE THAT THE PAṇḍAVA-S WERE THE "REPUTED SONS" OF Pāṇḍu.
As A Result, Kaliyuga Had to Lay a Trap for Parīkṣit in Order to Get Rid of Him. One Day, King Parīkṣit Was Hunting in a Forest. AS He Was Really Very Thirsty, Went To A Nearby Hermitage for Some Water. In That Hermitage There Was A Sage Called śamīka EngroSed in Profound Meditation. The King Asked That Sage for A Little Water Several Times, But śamīka Did Not Respond AT All Due to His State of Samādhi or Perfect Concentration. Parīkṣit Got Extremely Angry With the Sage and Taking A Dead Snake He Happened to Find There, Put It Around The Lyurīka "S Neck In Order to Show His Wrath and Humble The Sage. Śamīka Was a Priest (Brāhmaṇa) and Parīkṣit HAD ALWAYS PAID HOMAGE TO PRIESTS. Anyway, Which Resided in the Golden Crown The King Was Wearing At That Moment, Parīkṣit Lost His Temper and Made A Great Mistake. Of Course, śamīka, The Sage, Kept Meditating AS IF Nothing Had Occurred.
WHEN PARīKṣIT RETURNED HIS PALACE AND REMOVED THAT CROWN, HE REALIZED HOW GREAT SIN HE HAD COMMITTED, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BY NOW. Why? BECAUSE, WHENTIATING IN THE HERMITAGE (The Sage Meditating in the Hermitage), by the name of śriṅgī, Returned to the Hermitage and Saw His Father with That Dead Snake Around His Neck, Got Really Furious and Uttered A Curse: "The One Who WHO Did This (IE Parīkṣit) Will Die By The Bite of Takṣaka Himself (One of the Three Lords of the Snakes) in Seven Days. Afterward, śamīka Came Out At Last of His Samādhi and Learnt What His Son Had Done. AS The Curse Could Not Be Stopped, The Sage Told śriṅgī to Inform Parīkṣit About It.
AT The Moment Parīkṣit Was Informed, He Felt Very Happy. Why? BECAUSE NOW HE KNEW THE EXACT TIME OF HIS DEATH AND MIGHT PUT THE REMAINING TIME TO GOOD USE. And He Did So: He Left All Behind (Kingdom, Family, etc.) and Went to the Banks of River Ganges to Meditate on the Lord and Wait for His Inevitable Death. WHEN ALL SAGES BECAME AWARE OF THEIR KING "S Destiny Parīkṣit During Place to Accompany Parīkṣit During His Last Seven Days. Do You Remember śuka, The Son Of Vyāsa Who Had Left His Home To Wander About As A Sannyāsī? WELL, HE Went To That Place On the Banks of Ganges Too. When Parīkṣit Saw śuka, He Immediately Asked Him About What A Man On The Point Of Dying Should Perform. śuka Was Glad With Such A Question and Started His Narration of the śrīmadbhāgavatapurāṇa, Which He Had learnt from his father, Vedavyāsa. the narration continued for seven days without any interruption at all. When Takṣaka arrived on the seventh day, killed Parīkṣit finally, but the in other times king had already attained complete body detachment and enlightenment. At any rate, Kaliyuga Could At Last Enter ... and Who Can Deny this?
Sūta (The Son Of Romaharṣana) Was One Of Those Sages ASSEMBLED ON THE BANKS OF GANGES. He Heard The Entire Narration of the Bhāgavata by śuka and learnt IT by Heart Spontaneously. Later ON, A Group of Wise Men Met In The Naimiṣa Wood or Forest (A Sacred Place for Lord Viṣṇu). These Sages Were Headed by śaunaka. Sūta Was Also There. The Sages, After Doing Duen Homage to Sūta, ASKED HIM TO NARRATE THE BHāGAVATA SUCH AS HE LISTENED TO IT COMING FROM THE OUKA "S Lips. And Sūta Did Exactly That. Thus, by The Grace of Sūta, All Of US CAN AT Present Enjoy This Magnificent Purāṇa. This Has Been A Summary of the Entire Story, Obviously.
Finally, I Must Make These Points Very Clear:
- So Far, The Only Commentary on the Bhāgavata Ide of Written by śrīdhara (of Which I Have A Copy Purely Written in Original Sanskrit).
- This Does Not Mean That I Will Agree with śrīdhara Always Or That My Translation Will Be "Completely" Based on Such A Commentary, But I Feel Great ReSpect for His Work.
- I Will Translate The Text Exactly AS "I READ IT" IN THE FIRST PLACE. If Necessary, I Will Add Alternative Translations to Enrich My Work.
- Some Fragments of the śrīdhara "S COMMENTARY WILL BE INSERTED INTO THE EXPLANATORY NOTES WHEN NEEDED. IN FACT, I THINK I WILL DO IT VERY OFTEN AS HIS INTERPRETATIONS ARE WORTHY OF BEING HEARD BY EVERYONE.
- I OFFER THIS TRANSLATION TO PARAMAGURU, THE SIPREME GURU LIVING IN ALL, SINCE BY HIS DIVINE GRACE, GABRIEL PRADīPAKA, A MERE MORTAL, CAN Understand Perfectly The Complexities of the Bhāgavata As Well As Those of the śrīdhara "S COMMENTARY, Which Is Extremely Scholar And Complete. I ALSO WANT TO THENK ATRI (One of the Seven ṛṣi-s or vedic seers), Because His Direct Assistance Has Proved Really Helpful for Me. He is Doubtless One of the Forms Assumed by That Divine Grace ItSelf. May TranSlation BE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ENTIRE HUMANKIND!
Let the Holy śrīmadbhāgavatapurāṇa begin!
