Chapter – 62 – The legend of Lord Krishna – The legend of King Pareekshith

King Pareekshith speaks “Oh! Bhramin, Lord Bhrama described those various incarnations of supreme Lord Vishnu to Maharishi Narada, are highly inspirational of Lord Hari’s various pastimes, that is capable to provide all the auspiciousness to the Universe. Oh! Mahabhaga, kindly describe all those legends of supreme Lord who resides as a soul in living beings, and the incarnation of supreme Lord Krishna, listening and reciting to glories on a regular basis would enhance devotion, listening to that Krishnakatha would purify our souls.   He is the supreme Purusha who incarnated as Krishna; hence surrendering to his lotus feet would relieve the souls from all the miseries and sorrows of worldly existence.  The supreme Lord Bhrama who initiated from the navel of supreme Lord Adinarayana is no different from him.  The supreme Purusha who is the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the Universe and its living beings, he is Lord of Maya resides as a soul in living beings/Sarva Guhashaya and he is all-pervasive.  All that Bhramanda came into existence with the Athmamaya of supreme Lord.  The Time, Yuga, Kalpa, Kala, Guna, fourteen worlds, Graha, Nakshathra, rivers, oceans, islands, Varnnashrama, Yugadharma, Dharma of living beings, Veda, Ithihasa, Purana, etc. all that expanded from the Maya of supreme Purusha.”

Sutha Pauranika speaks “Oh! Shaunakadhis, in this way, Vishnuratha/Pareekshith and Bhramaratha/Shukha engaged in a detailed conversation. Later, Shukha Bhramam described the glorious Srimad Bhagavath Mahapuran which was narrated to Maharishi Narada by Lord Bhrama, later it was passed on to Maharishi Vedavaysa from Maharishi Narada, later it was retold to Shukha Bhramam.”
