TRANSLATION

“‘The great scripture Srimad-Bhagavatam, compiled by Mahamuni
Vyadsadeva from four original verses, describes the most elevated and
kindhearted devotees and completely rejects the cheating ways of materially
motivated religiosity. It propounds the highest principle of eternal religion,
which can factually mitigate the threefold miseries of a living being and award
the highest benediction of full prosperity and knowledge. Those willing to
hear the message of this scripture in a submissive attitude of service can at
once capture the Supreme Lord in their hearts. Therefore there is no need for
any scripture other than Srimad-Bhagavatam.’
