thank you so the first question is that why are there so many sections in the Bhagavatam that are not directly glorifying the lord such as say in the fifth canto there are chapters which focus on the description of Jambudvipa so why are these details given which are not directly glorifying the lord actually if we look at the point of those descriptions the point is to describe how people all over the world all over the universe in fact are following Dharma and are following Bhakti even if we look at Jambudvipa the description in Jambudvipa is description of Jambudvipa is given primarily so that people can we on earth can know how people there also are glorifying the lord so the point is to see and show how Dharma and Bhakti pervade the whole universe and the specific details of the cosmology that are given they are incidental they are not primary in the Bhagavatam the primary thing is if we look at the start and the end of the two sections then there we can find out what is primary and we will find that the primary thing is the glorification of the lord in fact even if we look at the specific details the point that is given is at the end is this universe is so vast that ultimately nobody can understand its glories but the point is that by seeing how great the universe is and how everything is pervaded by people who are devoted to god our inspiration to glorify the lord can also increase so in that sense the information about the universe is the setting to reveal how all over the universe there are glories of the lord which are being broadcast which are being heard which are being cherished
