Chapter 7: The First Step in God realization

(12) He who became the Manu [called Satyavrata, the truth abiding] at the end of the epoch saw that Lord Matsya [the fish] is the shelter of all living beings up to the earthly ones because of which out of a great fear for the waters, having taken to my mouth, therefrom certainly all the Veda's could be enjoyed.


Chapter 8: Questions by King Parîkchit

King Parîkchit questions Sukadeva Gosvâmi
(7) As it is not a question of being material, o brahmin, can you as you may know from your good self tell me whether the living being in the beginning comes to the body accidentally or of some cause?


 Chapter 9: Answering by Citing the Lords Version

(9) Unto him, the Supreme Lord being pleased by his penance, manifested His own abode [also called Vaikuntha, the place without fear], beyond which no other world is found and which is worshiped as the place where the five miseries of material life [ignorance, selfhood, attachment, hatred and death-fear] have completely ceased with persons who without illusion and fear of existence are of perfect selfrealization.


Chapter 10: Bhâgavatam is the Answer to all Questions

 

(10) When separating the Universes He as the same Original Person came out of Himself to rest in the [causal] waters desiring for the created the most pure of transcendence.
