One meaning, an extensive explanation
“In the Vedānta-sūtra, the purport of all Vedic knowledge is explained, and in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam the same purport has been explained in eighteen thousand verses.
What the purport teaches
- The Vedānta-sūtra explains the purport of all Vedic knowledge.
- Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam explains that same purport in eighteen thousand verses.
- The extensive explanation in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam develops the same meaning rather than presenting a different conclusion.
