Composed in Sanskrit and available in almost all regional Indian languages, it promotes Bhakti (emotional loving devotion) to Supreme God Vishnu (Narayana) in the incarnation of Krishna.The Bhagavata Purana, like other Puranas, discusses a wide range of topics, including cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legends, music, dance, yoga practice and culture. The Purana opens its Samudra Manthan legend as a war between good gods and evil demons, where evil has won and rules the universe. Truth re-emerges because of the Lila (play) of god Vishnu – as Krishna, Hari, Vasudeva in the text – whose strategy is to first make peace with the demons, understand them, then creatively defeat the evil, bringing back hope, justice, freedom and good; this underlying cyclic theme appears in many legends. The text is a synthesis of Bhakti to Krishna with the Advaita (monism) philosophy of Shankara, conceptualizing a form of Dharma that competes with that in the Vedas, wherein Bhakti ultimately leads to Self-knowledge, Moksha (liberation) and bliss. However, the Bhagavata Purana asserts that the inner nature and outer form of Bhagavan Krishna is the Vedas, and this is what rescues the earth when it gets submerged in cosmic waters.The text is organized in twelve Skandhas (books) subdivided into 332 Adhyayas (chapters), and has between 16,000 to 18,000 verses, depending on the manuscript version. Of the 12 books, it is the 10th book with about 4,000 verses that has been the most popular, studied and recognized. The text asserts that it is Krishna in literary form.The exact century when Bhagavata Purana was composed is unclear, likely between the 8th- to 10th-century CE, but may be as early as 6th-century CE. The Bhagavata Purana manuscripts survive in numerous inconsistent versions, were revised through the 18th-century, creating variant recensions in a given language and across different Indian languages. It was the first Purana to be translated into a European language, with a French translation of a Tamil version appearing in 1788, which became an introduction to the 18th-century Hindu culture and Hinduism to many Europeans during the colonial era. It is also known as Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahā Purāṇa, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam or Bhāgavata."@en }
