O SÅ«ta GosvÄmÄ«, your words are pleasing to our minds. Please therefore explain this to us as it was spoken by the great devotee Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ«, who is very expert in transcendental knowledge, and who spoke to MahÄrÄja ParÄ«ká¹£it upon being asked.
Knowledge explained by the previous ÄcÄrya like Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« and followed by the next like SÅ«ta GosvÄmÄ« is always powerful transcendental knowledge, and it is therefore penetrating and useful to all submissive students.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Second Canto, Third Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Pure Devotional Service: The Change in Heart.â€
