Worship that Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, the origin of all the gods, the abode of mercy; whose transcendental form is black like a tamal tree, and who has appeared in the form of His sound avatara, Srimad-Bhagavatum. It is the literary incarnatation of Krsna, a bridge by which lost souls can cross the ocean of repeated birth and death.
Srimad-Bhagavatam has twelve cantos, which correspond to the twelve different parts of Krsna's divine form. The first two cantos are His lotus feet of Krsna. The third and forth cantos are His lotus thighs. The fifth canto is His lotus naval. The sixth canto is His torso and chest. The seventh and eighth cantos are His lotus arms. The ninth canto is His throat. The tenth canto is His beautiful lotus face. The eleventh canto is His forehead, and the twelfth canto is His crown. (Padma Purana)
