English Translation

Here (atra... atra), in the venerable and beautiful (śrīmat) Bhāgavatapurāṇa (bhāgavate) composed (kṛte) by the great (mahā) sage (muni) --i.e. Vedavyāsa, or Vyāsa plainly--, the supreme (paramaḥ) Dharma (dharmaḥ)1 that is without any deceit or fraud (projjhita-kaitavaḥ) (is expounded. In turn,) the genuine (vāstavam) Reality (vastu) which gives (dam) welfare (śiva) (and) uproots (unmūlanam) the three (trayas) pains or afflictions (tāpa) is made known (vedyam) for the noble beings (satām) lacking envy or jealousy (nir-matsarāṇām). (Therefore,) what is the use (kim vā) of other (scriptures) (paraiḥ)? In this world (atra), the Lord (īśvaraḥ) is secluded (avarudhyate) in the heart (hṛdi)2 at once (sadyaḥ), (to wit,) immediately (tad-kṣanāt), by the virtuous people (kṛtibhiḥ) who wish to hear (suśrūṣubhiḥ) (the Śrīmadbhāgavatapurāṇa)||2||
