Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 50


Sanskrit:

श्रीशुक उवाचएवं विज्ञापितो राजन् भगवान् देवकीसुत: ।एकान्तिनं प्रियं भृत्यमुद्धवं समभाषत ॥ ५० ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-śuka uvācaevaṁ vijñāpito rājanbhagavān devakī-sutaḥekāntinaṁ priyaṁ bhṛtyamuddhavaṁ samabhāṣata

Translation:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King Parīkṣit, thus addressed, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī, began to reply confidentially to His dear, unalloyed servant Uddhava.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī, the conditioned living entities, by their movements, laughter, activities and words, simply bind themselves more and more in material existence. But if they engage in hearing and chanting about the pastimes of the Personality of Godhead, the conditioned souls will achieve liberation from the bondage of repeated birth and death. This process of supreme liberation will now be elaborately described by Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa to His dearmost devotee Śrī Uddhava.
