My dear brÄhmaṇa, how did NÄrada Muni glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and what pastimes were described in that meeting? I am very eager to hear of them. Kindly explain fully about that glorification of the Lord.

ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam is the record of bhagavat-kathÄ, topics about the pastimes of the Lord. What Vidura was anxious to hear from Maitreya we can also hear five thousand years later, provided we are very eager.
