Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.3

This Shrimad Bhagavat is an extremely mysterious and secretive purana or mythological text. It makes you experience the true nature of the Lord, and is the essence of all Vedas. For those who are stuck in this world, and want to rid themselves of the terrible darkness in the form of ignorance, this text is the one and only lamp that illuminates all spiritual concepts. Actually, it is the grace of Shri Shukadevaji, teacher to many great sages, towards this people, that made him describe this text. I take his refuge || 3 ||
