Ugrashravaa, the son of Romeharshan, popularly known as Soot Jee got very happy and said - "First of all I bow to Shukdev Jee. This Shree Mad Bhaagvat Puraan is a very deep kind of Puraan. One should bow to Nar-Naaraayan, Saraswatee and Shree Vyaas Jee first then should read this Puraan. Dharm results in Moksh, so Dharm is not for everybody. Dharm is for Dharm sake only, not for pleasure. Pleasures are only to sustain life, not to satisfy our Indriyaan. Life's aim is to know Paramaatmaa as Tattwa (element which is indestructible). The same is known as Brahm, Paramaatmaa or Bhagavaan.

Prakriti (nature) is made up of three Gun - Sat, Raj, and Tam. Paramaatmaa takes these three Gun for sustaining, creation,  and destruction of this Universe in the form of  Vishnu, Brahmaa, and Rudra. Still people's welfare is taken care of by Shree Hari. Rajo Gun is higher than Tamo Gun, and Sato Gun is higher than Rajo Gun, because it helps you in Hari Darshan. 

In the olden days, people used to worship Vishnu. Even today, whosoever worships Him, becomes as good as Him. But whose nature is Rajo Gunee and Tamo Gunee, they worship Bhoot, Pitar and Prajaapati etc. with the desire of wealth, children and other pleasures. Ved is for Shree Krishn, Yagya's aim is Shree Krishn, Yog is for Shree Krishn and all Karm end in Shree Krishn. Knowledge is gained to attain Shree Krishn, Tapasyaa is done for Shree Krishn and everything ends in Shree Krishn." 

3 - Bhagavaan's Avataar

Soot Jee further said - "Before this Creation, Bhagavaan desired to create Lok (worlds). With that desire He assumed Purush (human being) form. That form had 10 Indriyaan, one Man (heart), and 5 Bhoot - these are 16 Kalaa. While resting in Cause-Jal, He expanded His Yog Nidra and a lotus appeared from His navel and from that lotus appeared Brahmaa Jee. This is the pure Sattwa form of Bhagavaan. Yogee attempt to see only this form of Bhagavaan through their Yog. This form of Bhagavaan is very strange, because it has thousands of feet, thighs, arms and heads. The same form is known as Naaraayan too and is the home of many Avataar.

(1) In the 1st Avataar, same Prabhu appeared as four Braahman children - Sanak, Sanandan, Sanaatan and Sanat Kumaar - and lived as Brahmchaaree in Kaumaar Sarg. (2) In 2nd Avataar, He appeared as Varaah Avataar, to bring Prithvi out of Rasaatal and kill Hiranyaaksh. (3) In 3rd Avataar, He appeared as Naarad Jee and delivered Naarad Paanch Raatra - a Saatwat Tantra in which he has described as how to get salvation while doing Karm. (4) In 4th Avataar, He appeared as Nar-Naaraayan as the sons of Dharm and his wife Moorti. In this Avataar He did a very difficult Tapasyaa. 

(5) In 5th Avataar, He appeared as Kapil Muni as the son of Kardam Rishi and Devahooti and delivered Saankhya Shaastra (Gyaan Yog). (6) In 6th Avataar, He appeared as Dattaatreya, as the son of Atri Muni and Anusooya on request of Anusooya. He delivered the Brahm Gyaan to Alark and Prahalaad. (7) In 7th Avataar, He appeared as Yagya Purush as the son of Ruchi Prajaapati and Aakooti, and protected Swaayambhuv Manvantar with his son Yaam. (8) In 8th Avataar, He appeared as Rishabh Dev as the son of Raajaa Naabhi and Meru Devee. (9) In 9th Avataar, He appeared as Prithu on the request of Braahman and extracted all kinds of medicines from Prithvi. (10) In 10th Avataar, He appeared as Matsya Avataar (fish) to bring Tri-Lok out of water in the end of Chaakshush Manvantar. He asked Vaivaswat Manu to sit on Prithvi-boat and saved him for the next Manvantar.

(11) In 11th Avataar, when Devta and Daitya were churning the Sea for Amrit, He appeared as Kashchap and balanced Mandaraachal Parvat on His back. (12) In 12th Avataar, He appeared as Dhanvantari carrying the Amrit pot in the same reference. (13) In 13th Avataar, He appeared as Mohinee and distributed Amrit to Devta. (14) In 14th Avataar He appeared as Nrasinh and killed Hiranyakashyap. (15) In 15th Avataar, He appeared as Vaaman and went to Raja Bali's Yagya to ask for Tri-Lok in alms but asked only three feett land which He measured with His Viraat Roop in only two feet.

(16) In 16th Avataar, He appeared as Parasuraam and killed all Kshatriya on Prithvi 21 times. (17) In 17th Avataar, He appeared as Ved Vyaas Jee, as the son of Maharshi Paraashar and Daash Raaj's daughter Satyavatee and divided Ved in several branches. (18) In 18th Avataar, he appeared as Raam, as the son of Raajaa Dasharath and Kaushalyaa, and killed Raavan and Kumbhakarn. (19, 20) In 19th and 20th Avataar he appeared as Balraam as the son of Vasudev and Rohinee, and as Krishn as the son of Vasudev and Devakee in Yadu Vansh. (21) In 21st Avataar, He will appear as Buddh as the son of Ajan in Kali Yug, (22) And after that, close to the end of Kali Yug, He will appear as Kalki in the house of Vishnudev Braahman in Sambhal.

Except Shree Krishn, all other Avataar are of His Ansh or Kalaa Avataar. Shree Krishn was He Himself on Prithvi. Ved Vyaas has written this Puraan like Ved. He told this to his son Shukdev Jee and Shukdev Jee told this to Pareekshit Jee when Pareekshit Jee was sitting on the bank of Gangaa Jee vowing for not to eat and drink anything till death. I was also there at that time, so whatever I heard and understood, I will tell you according to that."

4 - Vyaas Jee's Dis-satisfaction

Shaunak Jee said - "Hey Soot Jee! Whatever Kathaa (story) Shukdev Jee said, we want to hear the same Kathaa. It was told in which Yug, at which place and for what reason. Why did Vyaas Jee create this Sanhitaa? His son Shukdev Jee looked like a fool but he was a great Yogee and did not discriminate in anyone. When Vyaas Jee's son Shukdev Jee was going to Van (forest) for Sanyaas, Vyaas Jee started following him. Some women were taking bath naked in a pond. They did not care for Shukdev Jee, but when they saw Vyaas Jee coming they covered their bodies. At this Vyaas Jee was very surprised. He asked them why did they do so? The women said - "Vyaas Jee! You still differentiate between male and female but your son doesn't, that is why we did that." He might be wandering in Hastinaapur like an insane and fool, then how people used to identify Shukdev Jee? How Pareekshit had dialog with Shukdev Jee? He used to stay at one house only for the time in which one can milk a cow. Pareekshit was a great king then why did he abandon his kingdom and wealth and sat on the bank of Gangaa Jee without eating and drinking? Please tell us everything whatever we have asked you."
