श्रीमद्भागवतपुराणम्

Bhagavata Purana

The Bhagavata Purana is arranged in twelve skandhas and turns throughout toward bhakti as the path. Its tenth skandha holds the account of Krishna's years at Gokul and Vrindavan, and is the portion most often read aloud and sung. Elsewhere it carries the stories of Prahlada, of Dhruva, and of Gajendra, whose lotus was accepted when he had nothing else to offer.
