Verse 1.3.12: In the first chapter of this Canto, one of the questions the sages in Naimisharanya were asking was to explain the incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So here in this chapter, Suta Goswami is explaining the various incarnations of the Lord.
An important point to understand in the complete Srimad Bhagavatam is that the first 9 Cantos are setting stage for a clear understanding of who we are and who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And only then we can understand in Canto 10, the complete pastimes of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is above all the modes of material modes of nature.
Prabhuji shared with us the story of Narada muni, the brahmin, the poor farmer and Vishnu, about Vishnu passing an elephant through the eye hole of the needle.
Moral: The farmer has a clear cut conviction that nothing is impossible for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because of this conviction, he was going to be liberated in this life itself. Unless we understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond our understanding, unless we read Srimad Bhagavatam to prepare ourselves and purify ourselves by chanting, we will not be able to understand Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
