Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 2

Sanskrit:

एतद् व: कथितं विप्रा विष्णोश्चरितमद्भ‍ुतम् ।भवद्भ‍िर्यदहं पृष्टो नराणां पुरुषोचितम् ॥ २ ॥

ITRANS:

etad vaḥ kathitaṁ viprāviṣṇoś caritam adbhutambhavadbhir yad ahaṁ pṛṣṭonarāṇāṁ puruṣocitam

Translation:

O great sages, I have narrated to you the wonderful pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, as you inquired about them from me. Hearing such narrations is the suitable engagement for a person who is actually a human being.

Purport:

The words narāṇāṁ puruṣocitam indicate that men and women who actually come to the standard of human life hear and chant the glories of the Supreme Lord, whereas uncivilized persons may not be interested in the science of God.
