E - Ending The Epic (11-13)

Suta Goswami pronounced the glories of the Srimad-Bhagavatam to end the epic. Whoever recites it, hears it, or offers it as a gift is truly blessed, for they will certainly be awarded with pure devotional service. In this age, the ultimate religious principle established by Srimad-Bhagavatam is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Thus, in the very final verse of this epic literature, Suta Goswami declares: “I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Hari, the congregational chanting of whose holy names destroys all sinful reactions, and the offering of obeisances unto whom relieves all material suffering.” (SB 12.13.23)
