1 SB 11.19.17 — From the four types of evidence — Vedic śrutiḥ pratyakṣam aitihyam
knowledge, direct experience, traditional wisdom and logical anumānaṁ catuṣṭayam

has not awakened his taste for devotional service by śravaṇaṁ na nirvidyeta yāvatā

principles of the Vedic injunctions. mat-kathā-śravaṇādau vā
śraddhā yāvan na jāyate
4 SB 11.20.17 — The human body, which can award all benefit in nṛ-deham ādyaṁ su-labhaṁ su-durlabhaṁ
life, is automatically obtained by the laws of nature, although it is plavaṁ su-kalpaṁ guru-karṇadhāram
a very rare achievement. This human body can be compared to a
perfectly constructed boat having the spiritual master as the mayānukūlena nabhasvateritaṁ
captain and the instructions of the Personality of Godhead as pumān bhavābdhiṁ na taret sa ātma-hā
favorable winds impelling it on its course. Considering all these
advantages, a human being who does not utilize his human life to
cross the ocean of material existence must be considered the killer
of his own soul.
5 SB 11.23.58 — Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: Thus becoming detached upon śrī-bhagavān uvāca
the loss of his property, this sage gave up his moroseness. He left nirvidya naṣṭa-draviṇe gata-klamaḥ

when insulted by foolish rascals he remained unswerved from his pravrajya gāṁ paryaṭamāna ittham

akampito ’mūṁ munir āha gāthām

6 SB 11.29.6 — O my Lord! Transcendental poets and experts in naivopayanty apacitiṁ kavayas taveśa
spiritual science could not fully express their indebtedness to You, brahmāyuṣāpi kṛtam ṛddha-mudaḥ smarantaḥ

for You appear in two features — externally as the ācārya and yo ’ntar bahis tanu-bhṛtām aśubhaṁ vidhunvann
internally as the Supersoul — to deliver the embodied living being ācārya-caittya-vapuṣā sva-gatiṁ vyanakti
by directing him how to come to You.
7 SB 12.1.40 — Not purified by any Vedic rituals and lacking in the asaṁskṛtāḥ kriyā-hīnā

one’s expertise in sex, and a man will be known as a brāhmaṇa strītve puṁstve ca hi ratir
just by his wearing a thread. vipratve sūtram eva hi
10 SB 12.2.4 — A person’s spiritual position will be ascertained liṅgam evāśrama-khyātāv

people will change from one spiritual order to the next. A person’s
propriety will be seriously questioned if he does not earn a good avṛttyā nyāya-daurbalyaṁ
living. And one who is very clever at juggling words will be pāṇḍitye cāpalaṁ vacaḥ
considered a learned scholar.
11 SB 12.2.5 — A person will be judged unholy if he does not have anāḍhyataivāsādhutve
money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as virtue. Marriage will be sādhutve dambha eva tu
arranged simply by verbal agreement, and a person will think he is
fit to appear in public if he has merely taken a bath. svīkāra eva codvāhe
snānam eva prasādhanam
12 SB 12.2.6 — A sacred place will be taken to consist of no more dūre vāry-ayanaṁ tīrthaṁ
than a reservoir of water located at a distance, and beauty will be lāvaṇyaṁ keśa-dhāraṇam
thought to depend on one’s hairstyle. Filling the belly will become
the goal of life, and one who is audacious will be accepted as udaraṁ-bharatā svārthaḥ
truthful. He who can maintain a family will be regarded as an satyatve dhārṣṭyam eva hi
expert man, and the principles of religion will be observed only for
the sake of reputation. dākṣyaṁ kuṭumba-bharaṇaṁ

14 SB 12.2.9 — Harassed by famine and excessive taxes, people will śāka-mūlāmiṣa-kṣaudra-

15 SB 12.2.13 - The kings will mostly be thieves dasyu-prāyeṣu rājasu
16 SB 12.3.51 — My dear King, although Kali-yuga is an ocean of kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann
faults, there is still one good quality about this age: Simply by asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ

material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya
kingdom. mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet
17 SB 12.3.52 — Whatever result was obtained in Satya-yuga by kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇuṁ
meditating on Viṣṇu, in Tretā-yuga by performing sacrifices, and in tretāyāṁ yajato makhaiḥ

transcendental hymns and reciting the Vedas with all their
corollaries, pada-kramas and Upaniṣads, to whom the chanters of divyaiḥ stavair
the Sāma Veda always sing, whom the perfected yogīs see within vedaiḥ sāṅga-pada-kramopaniṣadair gāyanti
their minds after fixing themselves in trance and absorbing
themselves within Him, and whose limit can never be found by yaṁ sāma-gāḥ
any demigod or demon — unto that Supreme Personality of dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ
Godhead I offer my humble obeisances.

19 SB 12.13.15 — Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is declared to be the essence sarva-vedānta-sāraṁ hi

20 SB 12.13.16 — Just as the Gaṅgā is the greatest of all rivers, Lord nimna-gānāṁ yathā gaṅgā
Acyuta the supreme among deities and Lord Śambhu [Śiva] the devānām acyuto yathā
greatest of Vaiṣṇavas, so Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the greatest of all
Purāṇas. vaiṣṇavānāṁ yathā śambhuḥ

21 SB 12.13.18 — Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the spotless Purāṇa. It is śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ purāṇam amalaṁ yad

reveals the means for becoming free from all material work, yasmin pāramahaṁsyam ekam amalaṁ jñānaṁ
together with the processes of transcendental knowledge, paraṁ gīyate

destroys all sinful reactions, and the offering of obeisances unto
whom relieves all material suffering. praṇāmo duḥkha-śamanas
