TRANSLATION

Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the son of Vyasadeva, Sukadeva Gosvami. It is he who defeats all inauspicious things within this universe. Although in the beginning he was absorbed in the happiness of Brahman realization and was living in a secluded place, giving up all other types of consciousness, he became attracted by the pleasing, most melodious pastimes of Lord Sri Krsna. He therefore mercifully spoke this supreme Purana, Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is the bright light of the Absolute Truth and which describes the activities of the Lord.

PURPORT

Without offering respectful obeisances to Sukadeva Gosvami and other great acaryas in his line, one cannot possibly gain the privilege of entering into the deep transcendental meaning of Srimad-Bhagavatam.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Twelfth Canto, Twelfth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "The Topics of Srimad-Bhagavatam Summarized."
