Text

“ŚrÄ«la VyÄsadeva considered that whatever he had received from NÄrada Muni as an explanation of oá¹kÄra he would elaborately explain in his book ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam as a commentary on the Brahma-sÅ«tra.

Purport

The sound vibration oá¹kÄra is the root of Vedic knowledge. Oá¹kÄra is known as the mahÄ-vÄkya, or supreme sound. Whatever meaning is in the supreme sound oá¹kÄra is further understood in the GÄyatrÄ« mantra. Again, this same meaning is explained in ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam in the four Å›lokas known as the catuḥ-Å›lokÄ«, which begin with the words ahaá¹ evÄsam evÄgre. The Lord says, “Only I existed before the creation.†From this statement, four Å›lokas have been composed, and these are known as the catuḥ-Å›lokÄ«. In this way the Supreme Personality of Godhead informed Lord BrahmÄ about the purport of the catuḥ-Å›lokÄ«. Again, Lord BrahmÄ explained this to NÄrada Muni, and NÄrada Muni explained it to ÅšrÄ«la VyÄsadeva. This is the paramparÄ system, the disciplic succession. The import of Vedic knowledge, the original word praṇava, has been explained in ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. The conclusion is that the Brahma-sÅ«tra is explained in ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam.
