B – Birth (1-5)

Canto Ten details the name, fame, form, qualities and beautiful pastimes of Sri Krishna. His birth, and the events surrounding it, were completely transcendental, as was His entire life on earth. The Lord is unborn, but appears in our vision and later disappears – just like the sun which rises and sets at certain junctures, but remains ever present, always illuminating some place within the cosmos.

Note: The pastimes of Canto Ten are not in chronological order. Based on the statements of various scriptures, acaryas have presented different opinions on the sequence of these transcendental events.
