Pages in category "Original Four Verses of the Srimad-Bhagavatam"
The following 42 pages are in this category, out of 42 total.
A
- Although the Srimad-Bhagavatam was spoken in four verses, it had ten characteristics, which will be explained in the next chapter
- Although they have no access to the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the followers of the Mayavada (impersonalist) school sometimes screw out an imaginary explanation of the original four verses, but we must accept the actual explanation given herein by Maitreya Muni
- As in the Bhagavad-gita, Tenth Chapter, Lord Krsna has summarized the whole text in four verses, namely, aham sarvasya prabhavah (BG 10.8), etc., so the complete Srimad-Bhagavatam has also been summarized in four verses, as aham evasam evagre, etc
I
- In the Catuh-sloki Bhagavata, aham eva asam agre: "I was present before the creation"
- In the Catuh-sloki of Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Lord says, aham evasam evagre: "I was existing in the beginning before the creation." (SB 2.9.33) In the Vedas it is also said, eko narayana asit: "Before the creation there was only Narayana
- In the first of the four verses (of Srimad-Bhagavatam), the word aham is given three times in order to stress that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is full with all opulences
- In the four verses it is first said that the Lord existed before the creation, and thus the beginning of the Srimad-Bhagavatam includes the Vedanta aphorism janmady asya (SB 1.1.1)
- In the Gita practically the same instruction is imparted as in the four prime verses of the Bhagavatam, but due to wrong and fashionable interpretations by unauthorized persons, one cannot reach the ultimate conclusion
- In this verse it is clearly mentioned that the Lord is ajanah, or the Supreme Person, and that He was showing His transcendental form (atmano rupam) to Brahmaji while instructing him in the summarization of Srimad-Bhagavatam in four verses
- It (Brahma was sexually inclined to his own daughter) could not have happened in the kalpa in which Brahma heard directly from the Lord the four essential verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam
L
- Lord Brahma is the topmost devotee of the Lord within the universe, and therefore the Personality of Godhead replied to his four principal inquiries in four important statements, which are known as the original Bhagavatam in four verses
- Lord Brahma wanted to be perfectly educated by the Personality of Godhead, and here is the answer by the Lord, finished in four nutshell verses, from aham eva to this verse, etavad eva. This is the end of all self-realization processes
O
- O King, your questions as to how the universe became manifested from the gigantic form of the Personality of Godhead, as well as other questions, I shall answer in detail by explanation of the four verses already mentioned
- One should not misunderstand by wrong interpretations that the Lord spoke only four verses and that therefore all the rest of the 17,996 verses (in Srimad-Bhagavatam) are useless
- One should not try to understand these four verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam by mental speculation
S
- Srimad-Bhagavatam has eighteen thousand verses, which are summarized in the four verses beginning with aham evasam evagre - CC Adi 1.53 - and concluding with yat syat sarvatra sarvada - CC Adi 1.56
- Srimad-Bhagavatam, being the sound representation of the Lord, is simultaneously explained in four verses and in four billion verses all the same, inasmuch as the Lord is smaller than the atom and bigger than the unlimited sky. Such is the potency of SB
- Sukadeva Gosvami explained the cream of Srimad-Bhagavatam in four verses, which had been explained to Lord Brahma at the end of the severe austerities he performed for one thousand celestial years
T
- The cream of Srimad-Bhagavatam in the foregoing four slokas is sometimes squeezed out by the impersonalist for different interpretations in their favor, but it should be carefully noted that the four slokas were first described by the Lord Himself
- The essence of Srimad-Bhagavatam - our relationship with the Supreme Lord, our activities in that connection and the goal of life - is manifest in the four verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam known as the catuh-sloki. Everything is explained in those verses
- The explanation of these four verses is given in Srimad-Bhagavatam, and Lord Caitanya gave a short description of the principles of these verses
- The first line of the original four verses runs, aham evasam evagre. The word aham is misinterpreted by the Mayavada school into meanings which no one but the interpreter can understand
- The four Srimad-Bhagavatam verses beginning with aham evasam evagre are the gist of the whole Bhagavatam. These are nicely summarized by Lord Caitanya
- The four verses beginning with aham eva are the gist of the whole Bhagavatam. These are: I am the supreme center for the relationships of all living entities, and My knowledge is the supreme knowledge
- The great sage (Maitreya Rsi) here (SB 3.5.23) begins to explain the purpose of the four original verses of the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- The great scripture Srimad-Bhagavatam, compiled by Maha-muni Vyasadeva from four original verses, describes the most elevated and kindhearted devotees and completely rejects the cheating ways of materially motivated religiosity
- The impersonal explanation of those four verses in the Second Canto is nullified herewith - SB 3.4.13
- The impersonalist's explanation of the word aham in the four verses of the original Bhagavatam - aham evasam evagre etc. - is refuted here (in SB 3.7.37). The Lord and His eternal associates remain after the dissolution
- The Lord was the teacher of the nucleus of Srimad-Bhagavatam in four verses, and Brahma was the receiver of the knowledge
- The meaning of the sound vibration omkara is present in the Gayatri mantra. The same is elaborately explained in the four slokas of Srimad-Bhagavatam known as the catuh-sloki
- The summary of Srimad-Bhagavatam in four verses, as we have already discussed, is succinct
- The words paramam sthitim are significant in this verse (SB 3.4.19). The Lord's transcendental situation was not even spoken of to Brahma when the four verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 2.9.33-36) were explained
- There are many grammarians & nondevotee material wranglers who have tried to present false interpretations of four verses of the Srimad-Bhagavatam but the Lord Himself advised Brahmaji not to be deviated from the fixed conclusion the Lord had taught him
- These four great & important verses (SB 2.9.33/34/35/36) are particularly taken out by the Mayavadi speculators, who construe a different purport to suit their impersonal view of monism. Here in SB 3.4.20 is the proper answer to unauthorized speculators
- This is a quotation (of CC Madhya 25.119) from Srimad-Bhagavatam (2.9.34). It is the second verse of the catuh-sloki. For an explanation of this verse, see Adi-lila, Chapter One, text 54
- This same (Omkara) meaning is explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam in the four slokas known as the catuh-sloki, which begin with the words aham evasam evagre
U
- Uddhava studied the catuh-sloki Bhagavatam (SB 2.9.33/34/35/36) directly from the Lord, who spoke them first to Brahmaji, and this time the Lord explained more confidentially the self-knowledge mentioned as the paramam sthitim
- Unless one is awakened to the stage of Uddhava - everlastingly feeling the separation of the Lord in transcendental love, as exhibited by Lord Caitanya also - one cannot understand the real import of the four essential verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam
W
- Whatever was spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead to Lord Brahma in those four verses of Srimad-Bhagavatam was also explained to Narada by Lord Brahma
- When Krsna advised Brahma after creation, then He said, jnanam me . . . this is called catuh-sloki-bhagavata (SB 2.9.33-36), the 4 slokas which is the basic principle of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Jnanam parama-guhyam. The knowledge of Krsna is very confidential
