Question: vishNu-puraaNa vs bhaagavata-puraaNa

[Guest guest]

Dear Members:

 

It is said that Srii-veda-vyaasa compiled all the eigtheen puraaNa-s.

 

Also, Sriimad vishNupuraaNa is said to have been narrated by SrI

paraaSara-muni while Sriimad bhaagavata-puraaNa is said to have been

narrated by SrI-sukha-maharshi.

 

Both puraaNa-s are said to have been recorded by Srii-veda-vyaasa

maharshi.

 

In the case of Sriimad-vishNu-puraaNa, we could easily see that Srii

vyaasa could have heard it from his father Srii-paraaSara-maharshi

and recorded.

 

In the case of Sriimad-bhaagavata-puraaNa, is it true that Srii-

vyaasa heard it from his own son Srii-sukha and then recorded it?

 

Also, I remember reading somewhere that Sriimad-bhaagavatam is not

really on the list of eigtheen 'official' puraaNa-s. Could

someone 'official' list ?

 

Also I am wondering what Srii-vaishNava acaarya-s say regarding the

status of Sriimad-bhaagavata-puraaNa.
