Footsteps of their mother
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Madhya-lila
The Purāṇas, which are like brothers, follow in the footsteps of their mother
CC Madhya 22.6, Translation and Purport: “‘When the mother Vedas [śruti] is questioned as to whom to worship, she says that You are the only Lord and worshipable object. Similarly, the corollaries of the śruti-śāstras, the smṛti-śāstras, give the same instructions, just like sisters. The Purāṇas, which are like brothers, follow in the footsteps of their mother. O enemy of the demon Mura, the conclusion is that You are the only shelter. Now I have understood this in truth.’
This quotation from the Vedic literature was spoken to the Lord by great sages.
