Srila Vyasadeva begins the Srimad Bhagavatam (or the Bhagavata Purana) by offering his obeisances to the Supreme Lord, Krishna. He meditates on the Supreme Absolute Truth as follows.

“O my Lord (oṁ), the Supreme Personality of Godhead (bhagavate), son of Vasudeva [Śrī Kṛṣṇa] (vāsudevāya), I offer my respectful obeisances unto You (namo). I meditate upon (dhīmahi) the Supreme Absolute Truth Lord [Śrī Kṛṣṇa] (satyaṁ paraṁ), from Whom (yato) there is the creation, sustenance and destruction (janmādy) of this [cosmic manifestation] (asya), while He is directly (anvayād) and (ca) indirectly (itarataś) cognizant (abhijñaḥ) and independent (svarāṭ) in relation to [this manifestation] (artheṣv), Who (ya) imparted (tene) the Vedic knowledge (brahma) unto the heart of (hṛdā) Lord Brahmā, the first learned being (ādi-kavaye), by Whom (yat) the demigods (sūrayaḥ) are placed into illusion (muhyanti), just as (yathā) one is bewildered by the illusory exchanges of (vinimayo) fire, water, and earth (tejo-vāri-mṛdāṁ) whereby (yatra) the temporary creation of the three modes of nature (tri-sargo) appears factual (amṛṣā), Who is eternally residing (sadā) in His own (svena) transcendental abode (dhāmnā), which is free from the illusory representations of the material world (nirasta-kuhakaṁ).” (SB 1.1.1)
