- The entire Srimad-Bhagavata Purana is the embodiment of Krsna's form, and the Tenth Canto is His face

- This (reading or hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam starting from the Tenth Canto) is forbidden by such authorities as Sri Brahmaji
- This entire (tenth) canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam is full of activities performed in Vrndavana and Dvaraka. The first forty chapters describe Krsna's Vrndavana affairs, and the next fifty describe Krsna's activities in Dvaraka

- We have several times been requested by so-called devotees to take up the Tenth Canto immediately, but we have refrained from such an action because we wish to present SB as the science of God and not as a sensuous understanding for the conditioned soul
- When we have understood these nine cantos, we can go on to the tenth. In this way we can understand that Krsna's activities are not ordinary but divine, and we can immediately become liberated
