Translation
Prahlāda Mahārāja continued: I received this knowledge from the great saint Nārada Muni, who is always engaged in devotional service. This knowledge, which is called bhāgavata-dharma, is fully scientific. It is based on logic and philosophy and is free from all material contamination.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
I received this pure knowledge, bhakti-yoga, along with realization, from Nārada Muni, who always sees the Lord.
