tā naḥ kīrtaya bhadraṁ te kīrtanyodāra-karmaṇaḥ rasajñaḥ ko nu tṛpyeta hari-līlāmṛtaṁ piban
苏陀·乔斯瓦弥啊，愿吉祥临汝。请宣说主那宏伟、应当颂扬的行迹。品饮哈利圣戏之甘露时，哪位通晓圣味的奉献者会感到满足呢？
The narration of the pastimes of the Lord, which are always enacted on the transcendental platform, should be received with all respect by devotees. Those who are actually on the transcendental platform are never satiated by hearing the continuous narration of the pastimes of the Lord. For example, if any self-realized soul reads from Bhagavad-gītā, he will never feel satiated. The narrations of Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam may be read thousands and thousands of times, and still, without fail, new aspects of the subject matter will be relished by the devotee.

In the creation context of Canto 3, they emphasize that even cosmological topics become spiritually complete when centered on the Lord’s glorious deeds, which are always worthy of kīrtana.
Make daily time for śravaṇa and kīrtana—hearing and repeating the Lord’s pastimes—because genuine spiritual “taste” grows by regular contact with Bhagavatam topics, replacing lower tastes with higher joy.
