title: Srimad Bhagavatam: First Canto Part One
author: A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
description: Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana) with original Sanskrit verses, word translations, synonyms, translation and commentary by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary upon Vedanta-Sutra by the same author, Srila Vyasadeva. Vedanta Sutra is a succinct but dense summary of the essence of all the Vedic literatures. In Srimad-Bhagavatam Srila Vyasadeva unpacks these aphorisms so that any sincere reader can easily relate to the highest spiritual truths and apply them practically in life. Therefore, Srimad Bhagavatam is called the ripened fruit of the desire tree of Vedic knowledge, which is extremely relishable to everyone, including liberated souls.
  
  Volume contains Cantos One through Ten of the Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto Ten is Srila Prabhupada's "Krsna Book", printed as Volumes I, II, and III.
  
  Also includes a Preface, Introduction, Author Bio, References, Sanskrit Pronunciation Guide, and Glossary of Personal Names.
