Shrimad Bhagavatam

श्रीमद्भागवतम्

The Beautiful Story of the Lord

The Bhagavata in Devanagari with romanized transliteration and English translation, across all twelve Skandhas.

About this book

The Purana of pure devotion — the life of Krishna, the descents of Vishnu, and the path of bhakti, narrated by Suka to King Parikshit in his last seven days.

Called the ripened fruit of the tree of the Vedas, the Bhagavata moves from cosmology and the stories of the great devotees to the tenth Skandha's account of Krishna's life in Vrindavan, and closes with the yugas and the promise of the Kali age.
