The Kumaras wondered why a Devarshi like Narada should be so confused. Once when Vyasa Deva was upset and sad, it was Narada himself who gave him the message of the Bhagavatham through the Chatusloki Bhagavatham. It immediately strengthened Vyasa’s mind. The Kumaras advised Narada to chant Srimad Bhagavatham to Jnanam and Vairagyam. That is the Amrit like medicine to cure their old age and weakness.

The Kumaras are constantly drinking the Bhagavathamrut, flowing from the thousand faces of Lord Adi Sesha. Thus their presence itself can remove the sins of every living being. Narada therefore sought their blessings to propagate Bhakti most effectively.

Chapter 3

The Revival of Bhakti, Jnanam and Vairagyam

Narada decided to perform a Jnana-Yajna by chanting the Bhagavatham as it was told by Sri Suka. The Kumaras advised him to conduct the Jnana Yajna at Ananda Ghata near Haridwar on the banks of the River Ganges.
