1How worthy of the good is the line of Puru, in which you have been born a guardian of the world with the Bhagavan for your chief concern, and in which, at every step and again and again, you make fresh the garland of the Unconquered's fame. 2So I set going the Bhagavata Purana, which the Bhagavan himself spoke to the sages, that the great suffering of people who have gone after small pleasures may come to an end.
