It is he who defeats all inauspicious thingswithin this universe.

He therefore mercifully spoke the supreme Pura;a,known as Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is the bright light of the Absolute Truthand which describes the activities of Lord Kr;a.'PURPORTThis verse was spoken by Sota GosvamT in Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.12.68).TEXT 139f31'1111il"f t ('f'i{"f "tj I
