29) Now, Suta gives a brief description of the import of this just described Bhagavata to Saunaka, while offering salutations (to Suka), by reflecting on the ideal lodged in the heart of its narrator (Suka): "Ibow down to the son of Vyasa, the destroyer of all sins, whose mind was filled with Brahmananda and thus his was free from all worealy thoughts, has had his drawn toward the inchanting lilas of Ajita (i.e. Krsna), and who has compassionately unfolded this Purana, revolving around him (Krsna), which illumines reality like a lamp." (Bh.P.12/12/68) According to Sridhara's commentary: "He offers salutations to his venerable guru- to him whose mind is filled with its own bliss alone, and thus who has cast aside all thought, i.e. worry, and who, despide being of such a disposition, has had heart, which steadfastly dwelled in its own bliss, attracted by the enchanting lilas of Ajita. 'I bow down to him who unfolded the BHagavata, the lamp of truth, the illuminator of the highest reality."' The three verses from the second skandha (Bh.P. 2/1/7,9), uttered by Suka himself, should also be examined in this connection.
The expression 'all sins' in this verse should understood to signify aversion or indifference to such a feeling (of attraction to Krsna). Thus, a related principle is found here, namely that the holy Ajita, distinguished by his enchanting lilas, is Himself superior to the bliss of braman. And it will become clear (by examining) the samadhi of Vyasa that Ajita, in his fullest aspect, is primarily known as "Sri Krsna".
It thus follows that the goal of life, technically known as prayojana, is nothing less than the joy which springs from love of Him, ingendering attachement of such a kind (as Suka's) to Him, and that the abhidheya also is nothing less than the worship of Him, characterized by listening to accounts of His divine sport etc., engendering love of such a kind for Him. According to the Brahmavaivarta Purana, the appellation "Vyasasunu" ("the son of Vyasa") is indicative of the fact that Suka, due to a boon from Krsna, was untouched by maya from his very birth.

30) Suta gives a similar concise explanation of the import of the Bhagavata, (this time) in terms of the samadhi experienced by its author, wherein the principle which was to be set forth in that work was ascertained: "With his heart purified and perfectly poised through bhaktiyoga, he saw the purnapurusa, with maya taking His shelter. The jiva, deluded by that maya,considers himself to be composed of the three gunas, though really beyond them, and consequently comes to grief. Vyasa composed this Satvatasamhita for those people ignorant of the fact that bhaktiyoga directed toward Adhoksaja (i.e. Krsna) directly puts an end to grief. If one but hears this (Satvatasamhita, i.e. Bhagavata), devotion for Krsna, the supreme purusa, will grow in him, putting an end to grief, delusion, and fear. After composing and arranging this Bhagavati Samhita, Vyasa taugh it to his son (suka), then leading a life of renunciation." (Bh.P.1/7/4-8)
At this point Saunaka asked, "But why did the sage (Suka), then leading a life of renunciation, being unconcerned in all situations, and rejoicing in the Self alone, studythis vast conposition?" (Bh.P.1/7/9)
In reply to Saunaka's query, Suta said, "Although such sages rejoice in the Self alone, and are free from all bounds, still they cherish motiveless devotion for Urukrama (i.e. Krsna); indeed such are the virtues of Hari. The venerable son of Vyasa had his heart captivated by the virtues of Hari and studied this great narrative daily, holding the devotees of Visnu dear to his heart." (Bh.P.1/7/10-12)
The expression bhaktiyogena ("through bhaktiyoga") means "through preman, or love of God", based on the use of the same term in the following verse: "Bhagavan Mukunda (i.e. Krsna) no doubt grants liberation to those who offer him (mere)worship; but he never grants them bhaktiyoga." (Bh.P.5/6/18) Pranihite ("perfectly poised") means "absorbed in samadhi", since he had been instructed earlier by Narada to "recall the events of Krsna's lila by means of samadhi". (Bh.P.1/5/13) The word purna ("full" or "perfect") should be understood in its unrestricted sense, based on the statement from the Uttara Khanda of the Padma Purana: "The words bhagavat and purusa are both free from limiting adjuncts, and refer to Vasudeva, the Self of all." And the fact that the purnapurusa mentioned here refers to bhagavat himself is also verified by Sridhara's commentary in the following verses: "The desirer of desirer should worship Soma; the desireless one, the supreme purusa. The high-minded ones, whether free from desires, desiring all, or desiring liberation, should worship the supreme purusa with intense bhaktiyoga." (Bh.P.2/3/9-10) According to Sridhara's commentary, the term purusa from the first of the two preceding verses signifies "the paramatman, whose sole limiting adjunct is prakrti", while the same term from the second verse refers to the "purnapurusa, free from all limiting adjuncts." The purnapurusa here refers to the Selfsame Personality of Godhead.

31) Even if the reading purvan is accepted (for purnam),still Lord alone is indicated, based in the etymological interpretation of Sruti which derives the essential nature of the purusa from his statement, "I existed here even prior (purvam) (to the universe)."
It is self-evident that the phrase "he, i.e. Vyasa, saw the purusa" means that he saw him indowed with his sarupasakti alone,just as when someone says, "he saw the full moon", it is understood that he saw the moon endowed with all its effulgence. Therefore Arjuna said to Krsna, "You are the primordial purusa, the visible Lord, beyone prakrti. Having cast aside maya by means of Your cicchakti (power of consciousness), You dwell in a state of supreme independence within Yourself." (Bh.P. 1/7/23)
Therefore, the phrase mayam ca tadapasrayam indicates that maya does not constitute svarupa sakti of bhagavan, since, having had her ground removed from her (indicated by the preverb apa), she remains concealed from bhagavat. As stated later, "Maya, imbarrassed to remain in his presence, flees..." (Bh.P.2/7/47)
The nature of this svarupasakti will now be explained by means of Bhagavata verses 1/7/9 and 1/7/10. In the first of these, the power of bhaktiyoga is understood to be a function of the svarupasakti, based on its ability to everpower maya; and in the latter, the virtues (of Hari) deserve to be considered the highest functioning of the svarupasakti, since they surpass even the bliss of brahman.
It should be understood that no separate mention is made of the purusa which presides over maya (i.e. the paramatman), or of brahman, since both are considered to fall within the domain of the purnapurusa, the former as a partial aspect of him, and the latter as his unqualified manifestation. Thus, just as before, the related principle sambandhy tattva is here set forth.

32) Then, Vyasa saw the essential distinction between the jiva and paramesvara which forms the basis for the abhidheya and prayojana of this work, as stated earlier. Thus was it described by Suta in Bh. P. 1/7/5.
"The jiva, deluded 'by that', i.e. by maya. considers himself to be 'composed of the three gunas', i.e. to be the insentient aggregate of the body etc., even though as a conscious entity, he is 'beyond', i.e. beyond the insentient combination of the three gunas, and 'consequently', i.e. as a result of that misconception, 'comes to grief', i.e. experiences the misery of repeated birth and death."
Thus, even though the jiva is a conscious entity, the phrases "deluded by maya" and "he considers himself (to be composed of the three gunas)" reveal the fact that consciousness, which constitutes his essential nature, is as attribute of the jiva, just as the power of illumination, which represents the essential nature of light, is also capable of illuminating both itself and other entities. This view is verified by the words from the Bhagavatagita: "Knowledge is covered by ignorance; hence are beings deluded." (5.15)
Thus, Vyasa rejected that other doctrine which maintains that it is the limiting adjuncts, or upadhis, which constitute the nature of the jiva, and it is their destrution which constitutes his liberation.
The phrase "deluded by maya" indicates that she alone is responsible (for deluding jivas), while the Lord remains uninvolved. As stated leter, "Foolish people are deluded by maya, who is ashamed to stand in the presence of the Lord and speak boastingly of 'I' and 'mine'." (Bh.P.2/5/13) Here, the word "ashamed" indicates that maya, thougth realising that her practice of deluding jivas is not pleasing to the Lord, is nevertheless unable to bear the fact that jivas have been ignorantly turning their backs on the Lord from time immemorial as indicated by the line, "Those who turn away fron the Lord experience fear because of their devotion to a second" (Bh.P. 11/2/37)-and so conceals their real nature and engrosses him in matter.
