The text as we know is the one taught by sage Shuka to king Parakshith. The story in brief is given in eka sloki bhagawatham viz 2 Aadhou devaki devi garbha jananam, Gopi gruhe palanam, Mayaa poothana jeevithaa apaharanam, govardhanodharanam, Kamsa chedana, kouravadi hananam, kunthi sutha palanam, Ethad bhagawatham purana kaditham sri Krishna leelamrutham Born to queen Devaki, Brought up by Gopis, Took out the life of Ogress Poothana, Lifted the Govardhana mountain, Beheaded his uncle Kamsa, Helped in killing the Kouravas, And looked after the children of Kunthi. This is in short the ancient story of Bhagawatha, Which describes the nectar like play of Lord Krishna Unlike Valmiki Ramayana which has only three prayers , the bhagawatha purana has very large number of lengthy prayers.I got a book in Malayalam translating 32 stotras n of this great book(Bhagawatha
