# The Goal of Bhagavatam (Sri Krishna)

Srimad-Bhagavatam is the ripened fruit on the tree of all Vedic knowledge, and the twenty-eighth verse of Chapter Three is said to be the emperor of all its verses. After describing twenty-two of the Lord’s unlimited incarnations, Suta Goswami establishes, in no uncertain terms, that Krishna is the original source of them all: *“All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Sri Krishna is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists.”* ([SB 1.3.28](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/3/28/))

This verse, also known as the *paribhasa-sutra* (a verse which governs the entire book), reveals the purpose and essence of the entire Srimad-Bhagavatam – that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the all-attractive goal of life.
