I have 3 doubts on bhagavatham. The questions are given below.1) Narayana varma kathanam (shashtam, eighth): It is supposed to protect you from all dangers and fears. But vishwaroopa himself got killed! How will you define this?2) Navamam eight : How did a brahmana who is clearly stated to be worshipping bagavan(‘brahma’, sloka :29) got killed by soudasa? Isn’t it a contradiction to the sloka 2.2.5? (Kim ajitho avathi nopasannan)3) Dashamam -adyayam 45 -Slokam 41=’na apasyath udere arbakam’ – So what was bagavam searching for? dead body? (cannot be searching for dead body inside the stomach after so many years.)Definitely not the jeevan(jeevan cannot be staying inside the asura’s body)! So why did maharshi use that kind of a language?All these things are not clear for an ordinary mind like me. So there should be some other hidden things in the mind of veda vyasa maharshi. (paroksha vado rishaya paroksham cha mama priyam).Kindly enlighten us with specific explanation for each of the above three points. Thank you

Bhagavatham was not written to understand the stories in a literal sense. The essence of the stories should be used to make our present life, a pleasant experience. Even avatars had to go through the adversities of a destined life. The stories are mentioned not to say how to avoid the destiny, but to teach how to avoid falling into weakness when facing it. Hari Om.
