Explanation:

Bhagavata Purana, originally composed in Sanskrit, the most studied, popular, revered, and influential Purana is an epic Vaishnava poem consisting of 18,000 shlokas (or verses) over 12 skandhas (or cantos). Its interconnected and interwoven narratives, teachings, and explanations focuses on the incarnations (or avatars) of Vishnu – particularly Krishna as the ultimate, primeval, transcendental source of the multiverse (including the demigods and gods such as Vishnu) – as well as the lives of his greatest devotees. The Bhagavata Purana itself (see 'stated authorship and purpose'), it was composed at the onset of Kali Yuga (the last age).
