Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta Quotes

“puṇyā bata vraja-bhuvo yad ayaṁ nṛ-liṅga-
gūḍhaḥ purāṇa-puruṣo vana-citra-mālyaḥ
gāḥ pālayan saha-balaḥ kvaṇayaṁś ca veṇuṁ
vikrīḍayāñcati giritra-ramārcitāṅghriḥ “How pious are the tracts of land in Vraja, for there the primeval Personality of Godhead, disguising Himself with human traits, wanders about, enacting His many pastimes! His feet are worshiped by Lord Śiva and the goddess Ramā. Adorned with wonderfully variegated forest garlands, He vibrates His flute as He tends the cows in the company of Balarāma.” (Bhāgavatam 10.44.13)”

“Added to his already great enthusiasm to keep hearing and chanting the Bhāgavatam, his natural affection for his mother made him all the more eager to speak. In this mood he was ready to reveal the essence of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.”
