(Bhagawatha Purana deals about the story of Lord Vishnu, highlighting more on his
incarnation as Lord Krishna. This great story written be sage Vyasa who wrote this
because he did not get satisfaction even after writing the 18 Puranas. It was later retold by
his son Sage Shukha to King Parikshith. This prayer is addressed to this great epic.)
Hey treasure of mercy, the poor me is deep inside the sea of domestic life,
For helping me do my correct duties, take me out of this sin of birth and death.
Always you have made all the wishes of my mind come true,
And please help me to do the duty of this slave without any road blocks, Oh Kesava.
The teller of the story , the sage Sukha, is an expert is all shastras,
And please destroy my ignorance by telling the story.
Salutations to the Nanda ladies of Vruja, who by taking the dust of your feet,
Made the story of Lord Vishnu known to the three worlds.
In the darkness when base qualities are born The God Vishnu wins over them,
And the God who is born to Devaki lives in all houses.
