“May the Lord, who in the beginning of the creation amplified the potent knowl-
edge of Brahma from within his heart and inspired him with full knowledge of
creation and His own self, and who appeared to be generated from the mouth of

voked the blessing of the Supreme Personality of Godhead before delivering
Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit.
