[sri ramanuja] Question on Bhagavatha Puranam

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

I was reading this week's edition of 'Hindu Maha

Samuthram' in Thuglak. This talks about Srimad

Bhagavatham - 2nd Baagam, 42nd Adhiyayam

 

In this, it is said that Atri Muni's performed

rigorous penance and prayed to the lord of all worlds

that he should get a son equivalent to the lord of all

worlds. Brahma, Vishnu and Sivan appeared before him

and granted that Atri Maharishi will get three sons as

the amsam of each of them and that there is no

difference between the three.

 

Why is there a contradiction like this in Bhagavatha

Puranam, in the same series, i was also reading about

other puranams where such things have been said.

 

Could someone please explain this.

 

Regards,

Vidya.
