Consider Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam’s Transcendental Position

“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied, “Why are you glorifying Me personally? You should understand the transcendental position of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Why don’t you consider this important point?”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 24.317, translation
