Before reciting this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam

nārāyanam namaskrtya
naram caiva narottamam
devīm sarasvatīm vyāsam
tato jayam udīrayet

Before reciting this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which is the very means of conquest, one should offer respectful obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead, Nārāyana, unto Nara-nārāyana Rsi, the supermost human being, unto mother Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, and unto Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the author.
SB 1.2.4
