TRANSLATION

O Siita Gosvami, your words are pleasing to our minds. Please therefore
explain this to us as it was spoken by the great devotee Sukadeva Gosvami,
who is very expert in transcendental knowledge, and who spoke to

Maharaja Pariksit upon being asked.

PURPORT

Knowledge explained by the previous dcarya like Sukadeva Gosvami
and followed by the next like Sita Gosvami is always powerful transcen-
dental knowledge, and it is therefore penetrating and useful to all
submissive students.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Second Canto, Third
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Pure Devotional Service:
The Change in Heart.”
