Narada said- O Brahman, I have seen listened
to the astonishing story of Brahma-khanda from
the mouth of Brahma, thereafter with his
permission I went to him and also listened to the
Prakrti-khanda which was nectar-like sweet and
thereafter I listened to the Ganapati Khanda
which removes the cycle of birth and death for
humans. But my unstable mind has not been
satisfied, I therefore. intend to listen to some
special type of story relating to the birth of Krsna
in the form of Krsna Janma-khanda. Therefore
yourplease narrate the same to me. It removes the
cycle of birth and death among the humans and
bestows salvation and the devotion of the gods. It
is instrumental in developed attachment and also
removes the disease of involvement in the
worldly pleasures. It is the seed of redemption, is
like a boat in the ocean of the universe, removes
the ailments of several births after bearing the
result of the same, serving at the form of the
medicine. It serves as the step for the
achievement of lotus-like feet of lord Krsna and
is the purifier of the entire universe. I happen to
be your pupil having taken refuge with you.
‘Therefore, you narrate the same to me quite
extensively. At whose request did lord Krsna
appear or earth in all the aritsas.
