This book provides an extended study of the text Srimad Bhagavata Puranam (2005), which was published with annotations by the Assam Publication Board. The book begins with an analysis of the social manifestation and relevance of the Bhagavata Purana. In presenting the Bhagavata, it discusses its sources, the etymology and interpretation of the word "Bhagavata," and its time and place of composition. The Bhagavata is established here as a pillar of Indian cultural leadership. It concludes with notes on the political, social, and religious backgrounds of its composition, the preparation and resolve (sankalpa) behind it, its role as a practical encyclopedia, and a detailed section-by-section analysis according to its Cantos (Skandhas) and chapters.
