Sambandha, which is the connection between vishaya, prayojana and adhikari, must also be specified. Srimad Bhagavatam begins with three mangala slokas, said Valayapet Ramachariar in a discourse. There are two kinds of dharma – siddha dharma and sadhya dharma. Bhagavatam speaks nothing but the truth and adheres to facts (vaasthavam). The Lord is not just the goal, but the means to attain that goal, and Srimad Bhagavatam shows us this.
