Scripture
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवत
Also known as ब्रह्मसम्मितम् · पुराणार्कः · सात्वती श्रुतिः · भागवतम् · Brahma-sammita (measured as Brahman) · Purana-arka (sun among the Puranas) · Satvati-shruti (the Veda of the Satvatas) · Srimad Bhagavatam
The Srimad Bhagavata Purana is the crown of the eighteen Maha-puranas — ascribed to Vyasa and centred wholly on Krishna-bhakti; Vaishnava tradition honours it as the 'fifth Veda'. In the processed verses: it is the dharma free of deceit, the supreme religion of the sincere, teaching the ultimate reality and uprooting the threefold misery (SB 1.1.2); the ripened fruit of the Vedic wish-tree delivered through Suka's mouth (1.1.3); 'measured as Brahman', the chronicle of Uttamashloka composed by the venerable rishi (1.3.40); the essence of the essence of all Vedas and Itihasas (1.3.42); the risen sun of Puranas for the Kali-afflicted (1.3.44). Its constant service makes devotion steadfast (1.2.18), and in its server's heart the Lord is established at once (1.1.2).

Supreme dharma of the sincere
It is the highest dharma of the envyless sincere: 'paramo nirmatsaranam satam' (SB 1.1.2).
Uproots the threefold misery, bestows auspiciousness
It teaches the real substance, is auspicious and uproots the three miseries: 'vedyam vastavam atra vastu shivadam tapa-trayonmulanam' (SB 1.1.2).
The Lord is at once established in its servers' hearts
By its attentive, loving service the Lord is at once bound in the heart: 'sadyo hrdy avarudhyate 'tra kratibhih shusrushubhis tat kshanat' (SB 1.1.2).
Nectar-like ripened fruit flowing from Suka's mouth
It is the ripe fruit of the Veda-tree mixed with nectar: 'nigama-kalpa-taror galitam phalam shuka-mukhad amrita-drava-samyutam' (SB 1.1.3).
Its constant service makes bhakti steadfast
By ever serving the Bhagavata, devotion becomes unwavering for the Lord: 'bhagavata-sevaya bhaktir bhavati naishthiki' (SB 1.2.18).
Measured as Brahman; chronicle of Uttamashloka by the venerable rishi
'Idam bhagavatam nama puranam brahma-sammitam uttama-sloka-caritam cakara bhagavan rsih' (SB 1.3.40).
The risen sun of Puranas for the Kali-blinded
'Kalau nasta-drsham esha puranarko 'dhunoditah' (SB 1.3.44).
Told to Brahma by the Lord; Narada commanded to expand it
'idam bhagavatam nama yan me bhagavatoditam, sangraho 'yam vibhutinam tvam etad vipuli-kuru' (SB 2.7.51) — the same lineage reaches Vyasa through Narada at SB 1.5.
Parikshit's questions set the order of subjects for the remaining skandhas
The measure of a kalpa, the course of time, the extent of the cosmic egg, the determination of varna and ashrama, the dharma of each yuga, the deeds of the avataras, the enumeration of principles, the method of yoga, dissolution, bondage and liberation (SB 2.8.12-23); 'he set himself to relate it all in order' (SB 2.8.29).
The Purana of ten characteristics; the lineage Lord to Brahma to Narada to Vyasa
'tasma idam bhagavatam puranam dasha-lakshanam, proktam bhagavata praha pritah putraya bhuta-krit' (SB 2.9.43); 'naradah praha munaye sarasvatyas tate... vyasaya' (SB 2.9.44) — the lineage completed at SB 1.5.
The nine characteristics are described only to clarify the tenth, the ashraya
'dashamasya vishuddhy-artham navanam iha lakshanam, varnayanti mahatmanah' (SB 2.10.2) — the organising principle of the entire Purana.
Spoken directly by the Lord to the rishis
Maitreya gives his reason for setting the Bhagavata Purana going and carries its origin back to the Lord: 'pravartaye bhAgavataM purANaM yad Aha sAkShAd bhagavAn R^iShibhyaH' (SB 3.8.2). The word 'sAkShAt' states that the telling was direct.
