श्रीनारद उवाच सम्यगेतद् व्यवसितं भवता सात्वतर्षभ । यत् पृच्छसे भागवतान् धर्मांस्त्वं विश्वभावनान् ॥ ११ ॥
śrī-nārada uvāca samyag etad vyavasitaṁ bhavatā sātvatarṣabha yat pṛcchase bhāgavatān dharmāṁs tvaṁ viśva-bhāvanān
圣那罗陀说：萨特瓦塔中的雄牛啊，你问得极其正确；你所询问的是众生对至上主的永恒本分——薄伽梵之法（奉爱）。此奉爱之法威力无比，足以净化整个宇宙。
A similar statement was made by Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī in the first verse of the Second Canto when he congratulated Parīkṣit Mahārāja for asking about Kṛṣṇa.
FAQs
This verse affirms that bhāgavata-dharma—devotional duties centered on Bhagavān—is the proper and universal path, beneficial for the entire world.
Because Vasudeva’s inquiry was not for mere debate or ritual detail, but for the essential principles of devotion that uplift all beings; Nārada recognizes this as the best determination.
Seek the core practices of devotion—hearing, chanting, remembering, and serving with sincerity—so your spiritual life becomes purposeful and beneficial to others as well.
