Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, Chapter 90, Text 49

SB 10.90.49

ittham parasya nija-vartma-riraksayatta-
lila-tanos tad-anurupa-vidambanani
karmani karma-kasanani yaduttamasya
sruyad amusya padayor anuvrttim icchan
 
Translation: 
 
To protect the principles of devotional service to Himself, Lord Krsna, the best of the Yadus, accepts the pastime forms that have been glorified here in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. One who desires to faithfully serve His lotus feet should hear of the activities He performs in each of these incarnations activities that suitably imitate those of the forms He assumes. Hearing narrations of these pastimes destroys the reactions to fruitive work.
