The Srimad Bhagavatam

Abstract

It is said that the four Kumaras - the original sons of Brahma, who preferred self-realisation to creation - told the Sage Narada all the three ingredients of bhakti, vairagya and jnana (devotion, dispassion and wisdom) spontaneously arises in he who recites it. The Sage Narada is then said to have asked them why a perusal of the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita do not result in such an outcome, they pointed out that as long as the essence cannot be separated from the appearance, (similar to the extraction of butter from milk) no benefit is possible. The Bhagavata is the spiritual butter that has been churned from the milk of the Vedas to assist those "who are pure in heart, free from malice and are keen to hear it. It frees them from the triple affliction of bodily diseases, natural calamities and distress caused by the action of others."
