Srimad-Bhagavatam is the Samaveda of Puranas

[Guest guest]

"Srimad-Bhagavatam is the Samaveda of Puranas": That is, just as the

Samaveda is the most perfect of Vedas, so is the Bhagavatam the most perfect

of Puranas. For just as the Samaveda brings out the one common theme running

through the three kandas of the Vedas (karmakanda, upasanakanda, and

jnanakanda), so does the Bhagavatam demonstrate the fact that some of the

other Puranas which occasionally seen to partake of the nature of rajas and

tamas, and do not appear to be concerned with Lord ultimately find their

resolution in Lord alone, as presented in the Bhagavatam. Therefore it is

said, "In the Vedas, Ramayana, Puranas, and Mahabharata, Hari is everywhere

praised, in the beginning, the middle, and the end."
