Dear Jahnu Prabhu,

tallied with their numbers.

interesting, facts and figures.

Total 335 14094 100%

 

 

There are a few points on these numbers with Srimad Bhagavatam (based on the

above counted 14094 total verses and not 18000 verses which still need

clarification).

 

1. The biggest canto is Canto 10 with 90 chapters and 3936 verses.

2. From the appearance of Lord Sri Krishna in the beginning of 10th

canto of Srimad Bhagavatam to the disappearance of Lord Sri Krishna at the

end of 11th canto, there are a total of 5303 verses accounting to 37.72%.

This shows that Lord Sri Krishna has been given due prominence than all His

other expansions and incarnations.

3. Next to10th canto come 4th and 3rd cantos in size with 1449 and 1416

verses respectively.

4. The smallest canto is 2nd canto with 393 verses. The second

smallest canto is 12th canto with 565 verses.

5. There are total 335 chapters in Srimad Bhagavatam.

6. The smallest chapter in Srimad Bhagavatam is 23rd chapter of Canto

5, with only 9 verses.

7. The biggest chapter in Srimad Bhagavatam is 29th chapter of Canto 4,

with 89 verses.
