Purport
Srimad Bhagwatam means the history of the activities of the Lord. And the activities of the Lord are performed in relation with the devotees of the Lord. Therefore, the history of the devotees is not different from the history of Lord Krishna's activities. A devotee of the Lord accepts both the activities namely the activities of the Lord as well as that of His pure devotees, on the equal level as they are all transcendental.
