When was Bhagavatam written by Vyasadeva?

[Guest guest]

Historically, exactly when did Srila Vyasadeva put the Bhagavatam in book

form? After Sukadeva spoke to Parikshit or before?

 

Related question: When did Narada meet Vyasadeva and instructed him to write

Srimad-Bhagavatam? Was that in Kali Yuga?

Isn't the Bhagavatam existing eternally?

By logic it seems that afterwards. Otherwise how could Vyasa include in the

Bhagavatam the conversation between Pariksit and Sukadeva? And death of

Maharaja Pariksit? In fact, he included also description of the discussion

in Naimsaranya, which took place after Pariksit's death.

>From the discussion between Narada and Vyasa seems clear that at that time

Mahabharata was already written (SB.1.5.3). Mahabharata describes (at least

Subramaniam's version) Krsna's disappearance. So the discussion between

Narada and Vyasa must have taken place after Krsna's disappearance, that

means when Kali-yuga already begun (if we take Krsna's disappearance for the

beginning of Kali-yuga).

 

If that's what you mean by "historically." In case you mean from the textual

critical analysis point of view, that would be another thing.
