Dear Jahnu Prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

Yes I double checked the whole excercise done by my boys and my numbers
tallied with their numbers.

Did you down load my attachment. I have given some charts/graphs and very
interesting, facts and figures.

Srimad Bhagavatam Verses Per Canto
Canto Chapters Verses % Verses
1 19 808 5.732936
2 10 393 2.788421
3 33 1416 10.04683
4 31 1449 10.28097
5 26 668 4.739606

9 24 960 6.811409
10 90 3936 27.92678
11 31 1367 9.699163
12 13 565 4.008798
Total 335 14094 100%


There are a few points on these numbers with Srimad Bhagavatam (based on the
above counted 14094 total verses and not 18000 verses which still need
clarification).

1. The biggest canto is Canto 10 with 90 chapters and 3936 verses.
2. From the appearance of Lord Sri Krishna in the beginning of 10th
canto of Srimad Bhagavatam to the disappearance of Lord Sri Krishna at the
end of 11th canto, there are a total of 5303 verses accounting to 37.72%.
This shows that Lord Sri Krishna has been given due prominence than all His
other expansions and incarnations.
3. Next to10th canto come 4th and 3rd cantos in size with 1449 and 1416
verses respectively.
4. The smallest canto is 2nd canto with 393 verses. The second
smallest canto is 12th canto with 565 verses.
5. There are total 335 chapters in Srimad Bhagavatam.
6. The smallest chapter in Srimad Bhagavatam is 23rd chapter of Canto
5, with only 9 verses.
7. The biggest chapter in Srimad Bhagavatam is 29th chapter of Canto 4,
with 89 verses.
