Srimad Bhagavatam — Dvadasha Skandha, Shloka 7
Bhāgavata-Māhātmya and the Complete Summary of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
योगधारणयोत्क्रान्ति: संवादो नारदाजयो: । अवतारानुगीतं च सर्ग: प्राधानिकोऽग्रत: ॥ ७ ॥
yoga-dhāraṇayotkrāntiḥ saṁvādo nāradājayoḥ avatārānugītaṁ ca sargaḥ prādhāniko ’grataḥ
《薄伽梵往世书》说明：通过瑜伽中坚定的持念与定持（dhāraṇā），人在临终亦可得解脱。书中亦有那罗陀与梵天的对谈、至上主诸化身的列举，以及从未显的主质（pradhāna）起按次第展开的宇宙创生。
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura explains that it would be difficult to give a complete list of the numerous accounts and topics contained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Therefore it is understood that Sūta Gosvāmī is merely summarizing the topics. We should not consider the topics he fails to mention here less important or superfluous, since every letter and word of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is absolute, Kṛṣṇa conscious sound vibration.
