 SB 7.15.79
krsna-parthav upamantrya
pujitah prayayau munih
srutva krsnam param brahma
parthah parama-vismitah

Translation:

Narada Muni, being worshiped by Krsna and Maharaja Yudhisthira, bade them farewell and went away. Yudhisthira Maharaja, having heard that Krsna, his cousin, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was struck with wonder.

Purport:

After hearing the conversation between Narada and Yudhisthira, if one still has any doubts about Krsna's being the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should immediately give them up. Asamsayam samagram. Without any doubt and without any defect, one should understand Krsna to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus surrender at His lotus feet. Ordinary persons do not do this, even after hearing all the Vedas, but if one is fortunate, although it may be even after many, many births, he comes to this conclusion (bahunam janmanam ante jñanavan mam prapadyate [Bg. 7.19]).

SB 7.15.80

iti daksayaninam te

prthag vamsah prakirtitah

devasura-manusyadya

loka yatra caracarah

Translation:

On all the planets within this universe, the varieties of living entities, moving and nonmoving, including the demigods, demons and human beings, were all generated from the daughters of Maharaja Daksa. I have now described them and their different dynasties.

Purport:

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Seventh Canto, Fifteenth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "Instructions for Civilized Human Beings."

—Completed on the night of Vaisakhi Sukla Ekadasi, the tenth of May, 1976, in the temple of the Pancatattva, New Navadvipa (Honolulu), by the mercy of sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. Thus we may happily chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
