Srimada Bhagavata Purana is a puranic text of Hindu literature with its primary focus on devotion to the incarnations of Vishnu, particularly Krishna.It is a chronicle of the various Avataras of Lord Vishnu .There are ten Avataras of Vishnu. The aim of every Avatara is to save the world from some great danger, to destroy the wicked and protect the virtuous.
The Sanskrit text comprises twelve skandas (cantos or books) and 13,216 verses by one count.
The Bhāgavata is widely recognized as the most well known and influential of the Puranas. It is unique in Indian religious literature for its emphasis on the practice of bhakti, compared to the more theoretical bhakti of the Bhagavad Gita; for its redefining of dharma; and for the extent of its description of God in a human form.
