How the Devas Did Not Get “Bhagavathamrutham” (the Amrut of Atma Jnanam)
..........................................................................................................

Here is a story to show the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatham : -
--------------------------------------------------------------

I.
When Sri Suka, sitting among the sages on a high seat, was preparing to recite the Bhagavatham to King Parikshit on the holy banks of the Ganges, the Devas appeared there.

They came with a pot of Amrut and requested Sri Suka to accept it in return of Bhagavatham.

They said that King Parikshit could drink their Amrut and escape from death.

The Devas wanted to drink the Amrut of Atma Jnanam (self knowledge), namely Srimad Bhagavatham.


II.
Sri Suka was not the one to be attracted and diverted, even by the Devas.

He questioned them, how they could even compare their Amrut with the incomparable Jnana Amrut offered by Srimad Bhagavatham?

Their Amrut was just a worthless stone compared to the divine gem Bhagavatham.
