Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Sukadeva Goswami did not start speaking Bhagavatam before the second canto. Which means the first 19 chapters, which are the first canto of SB, are the composition of Srila Vyasadeva. Also it doesn't mean that what was recorded in the Bhagavatam was what was spoken verbatim by Srila Sukadeva Goswami. It was stated in Tattva Sandarbha that Srimad Bhagavatam has much more verses in the higher planets. And in the planet of Lord Brahma, it was said to be 4 billion verses. Basically whatever was spoken by Sukadeva Goswami for seven days to Pariksit Maharaja, were all summarised by Srila Vyasadeva. Srimad Bhagavatam was composed by Srila Vyasadeva, at his devotional maturity, that is after he had fully realised whatever discussion he had with Srila Narada Muni. There was no time mentioned on how long between the time Sukadeva Goswami spoke the Bhagavatam to Pariksit Maharaja to the actual time when it was actually composed and written by Srila Vyasadeva. The purport of SB 1.7.5, shed much more light on this, that is how Srimad Bhagavatam was actually compiled. ys, Isvara dasa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
