Bhagavatam & Bhagavat Purana

[Guest guest]

Just to churn the topic a little more:

 

Does anyone know anything about the Bhagavat Purana existing prior to Srila

Vyasadeva's writing the revised Bhagavatam? I have heard Gopiparandhana

Prabhu mention something about this, but I can't find my notes and can't

remember what his conclusion was. I think there is sastric evidence that the

earlier Bhagavatam was written at the same time as the other Puranas

(sastric chronology, not academic).

Pamho agtsp!!

 

Is there a reference in Srila Prabhupada's writings that the Bhagavatam in

the heavenly planets is much bigger work, not merely 18,000 slokas?

 

Thank you

I didn't find any in Folio.

 

But there is such statement re Mahabharata, on its beginning: "The sage

compiled versions of the Mahabharata for the demigods in six million verses

and in three million verses. The forefathers received 1,500,000 verses, the

Raksasas and Yaksas 1,400,000, and human society 100,000. Narada Muni revealed

it to the demigods, Asita Devala to the forefathers, and Suka, the son of

Vyasa, taught it to the Gandharvas and Yaksas."

 

Hope this helps
