SB 12.4.40
samsara-sindhum ati-dustaram uttitirsor
nanyah plavo bhagavatah purusottamasya
lila-katha-rasa-nisevanam antarena
pumso bhaved vividha-duhkha-davarditasya
Translation:
For a person who is suffering in the fire of countless miseries and who desires to cross the insurmountable ocean of material existence, there is no suitable boat except that of cultivating devotion to the transcendental taste for the narrations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s pastimes.
Purport:
Although it is not possible to completely describe the pastimes of the Lord, even a partial appreciation can save one from the unbearable miseries of material existence. The fever of material existence can be removed only by the medicine of the holy name and pastimes of the Supreme Lord, which are perfectly narrated in Srimad-Bhagavatam.
