The Srimad Bhagavata is one of the Puranas. It consists of 18,000 verses and is regarded as an encyclopedia of spiritual philosophy.

Attributed to the sage Vyasa, the Bhagavata (also Bhagavatam) illustrates religious truths with stories of ancient India's saints, seers, and kings. The book also deals in part with the life of Krishna (which makes the book especially sacred to the Vaishnavas)

The set consists of four volumes, each with Devanagri Sanskrit, and English translation, mainly in the lines of Sridhara's interpretation. The verses are numbered. A thorough introduction explains the methodology and outlook of Pauranika literature in respect to space, time, nature and man. Prologues are also included with each Skanda to further the reader's understanding of the text.
