Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/glossary/s/srinivasa-a-name-of-visnu Previous: Srimad-Bhagavatam-the foremost of the eighteen Puranas, the complete science of God that establishes the supreme position of Lord Krsna. It was glorified by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as the amalam puranam, "the purest Purana." It was written by Srila Vyasadeva as his commentary on the Vedanta-sutra, and it deals exclusively with topics concerning the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Lord Krsna) and His devotees. Srila Prabhupada has given Bhaktivedanta purports in English and wonderfully presented it to the modern world, specifically to give a deep understanding of Lord Krsna; Also known as the Bhagavata Purana, this is a work of eighteen thousand verses compiled by sage Vyasa as his natural commentary on the Vedanta-sutra. It takes up where the Bhagavad-gita leaves off. In Bg. 4.9, Lord Krsna says that by knowing His transcendental appearance and activities in this world, one becomes free of the cycle of repeated birth and death. Srimad-Bhagavatam recounts with great relish the details of the Lord's appearance and activities, beginning with His purusa incarnations and their lila of cosmic manifestation, and culminating with Krsna's own appearance in Vrndavana 5000 years ago, and His most sweet rasa-lila with the His cowherd girlfriends, the gopis headed by Radharani. See Bhagavad-gita, Caitanya-caritamrta, Vedanta-sutra. Next: Srinivasacarya-a chief follower of the Six Gosvamis of Vrndavana.
