Description

A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.40 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on December 22, 1970 in Surat, India.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.40

yamadūtā ūcuḥ

veda-praṇihito dharmo
 hy adharmas tad-viparyayaḥ
vedo nārāyaṇaḥ sākṣāt
 svayambhūr iti śuśruma

The Yamadūtas replied: That which is prescribed in the Vedas constitutes dharma, the religious principles, and the opposite of that is irreligion. The Vedas are directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, and are self-born. This we have heard from Yamarāja.
