Bhagavatapurana 1.1.16

1.1.16

ko vā bhagavatastasya puṇyaślokeḍyakarmaṇaḥ /
śuddhikāmo na śṛṇuyādyaśaḥ kalimalāpaham //

16-18. Who, desirous of cleansing himself of sin, would not long to hear of that glorious Lord whose works are

sung by men of holy reputation—of that glory which washes away the stain of Kali? His doings are great and are sung by sages Narada and others. O wise Suta! Tell us who are full of faith the blessed stories of the Avatars of Sri Hari, who, at His will, assumes the form of Brahma, Rudra and Vishnu; of that Supreme Ruler who of his own accord and by virtue of his own power (Maya) does various wonderful things.
