'kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-svarÅ«pa' Å›rÄ«-bhÄgavata
tÄte veda-Å›Ästra haite parama mahattva

 kṛṣṇa-bhakti - of devotional service to Kṛṣṇa; rasa - of the transcendental mellow; svarÅ«pa - the very form; Å›rÄ«-bhÄgavata - ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam; tÄte - therefore; veda-Å›Ästra - the Vedic literature; haite - than; parama mahattva - has greater utility and value.

“ŚrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam gives direct information of the mellow derived from service to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam is above all other Vedic literatures.
