Bhagavatam
Bhagavatam is the Divine body of Krishna
padau yadiyau prathamadvitiyau trtiyaturyau kathitau yaduru
nabhistatha pancama eva sastho bhujantaram doryugalam tathanyau
kanthas tu rajan navamo yadiyo mukharavindam dasamam praphullam
ekadaso yasya lalatapattakam siro'pi tu dvadasa eva bhati
tamadidevam karunanidhanam tamalavarnam suhitavataram
aparasamsara samudra-setum bhajamahe bhagavata-svarupam
(Padma Purana 2.20)
Translation
I worship that Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, the origin of all the gods, the abode of mercy,
whose transcendental form is black like the tamal tree, and who has appeared in the
form of His sound avatara, Srimad-Bhagavatam. It is the literary incarnation of Krsna, a
bridge by which lost souls can cross the ocean of repeated birth and death.
Srimad-Bhagavatam has twelve cantos, which correspond to the twelve different parts of
Krsna's divine form. The first two cantos are the lotus feet of Krsna. The third and fourth
cantos are His lotus thighs. The fifth canto is His lotus navel. The sixth canto is His torso
and chest. The seventh and eight cantos are his lotus arms. The ninth canto is his throat.
The tenth canto is his beautiful lotus face. The eleventh canto is His forehead, and the
Bhagavatam is the Divine body of Krishna
