Text 38] Answers by Citing the Lord’s Version 535
Vrndavana, and where He is in the habit of keeping surabhi cows as a
cowboy, and where He is served by hundreds and thousands of goddesses
of fortune (the gopis) with love and respect.

Therefore Lord Sri Krsna is the original form of the Supreme Lord
(krsnas tu bhagavan svayam). This is also clear in this instruction. The
Supreme Personality of Godhead is Lord Krsna, and not directly Narayana
or purusa-avataras because such manifestations are subsequent. Therefore
Srimad-Bhagavatam means consciousness of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead Lord Sri Krsna, and Srimad-Bhagavatam is the sound representa-
tion of the Lord as much as the Bhagavad-gita is. Thus the conclusion is
that Srimad-Bhdagavatam is the science of the Lord in which the Lord and
His abode are perfectly realized.
