Verse 1.7.8: Our scriptures are so vast. Srimad Bhagavatam itself is a commentary for the Brahmasutras. Sankaracharya wrote Sharirakabhasya, commentary on Srimad Bhagavatam. But it is asked why do we need another commentary, when Srimad Bhagavatam is already a commentary on the Brahmasutras.
Srila Vyasadev, after he wrote Srimad Bhagavatam, he taught it to his son Sukadeva Goswami, who was already a self-realized soul.
Two marga's
- Shreyas = pravrtti-marga
- Sreyas = nivrtti-marga
Srila Prabhupada gave us the sugar-coated pill, eat prasad, chant 16 rounds, follow 4 regulative principles, then we will attain self-realization. This is nivritti marga.
So Srimad Bhagavatam is paving a way for this. It is very simple.
