SB mahatmya Skanda Purana (Motilal) excerpts 

2.5.16.29-60 (Margasirsa mahatmya)

Sri Bhagavan speaks to Brahma:
29. A wise man should perform all the Vaisnava Vratas. He should always listen to the great (holy scripture) Srimadbhagavata that is my favourite.
30. The Purana named Srimadbhagavata is renowned throughout the world. The devotee should listen to it with faith. It causes my satisfaction and pleasure.
31. A man who reads the Bhagavata Purana continuously gets the merit of gifting a tawny-coloured cow for every syllable (so read).
32. He who reads or listens to half or even one-fourth of a verse quoted from Bhagavata everyday, shall obtain the merit of (the gift of) a thousand cows.
33. O son, a man who reads  with (mental and physical) purity a verse from Bhagavata everyday, attains a merit of (reading) all the eighteen Puranas.
34. Vaisnavas stay there where my story is continuously (told). Those men are unaffected by Kali, who always honour my (favourite Purana).
35. Those men who honour in their abode the scriptures of Vaisnavas become rid of all their sins and they are saluted by Suras.
36. If people always honour the scriupture Bhagavata in their houses in the Kali Age, if they clap their hands (in praise thereof) and if they shout in joy, I become delighted with them.
37. The Manes drink milk, ghee, honey and water for as many days, O son, as their descendants keep the Bhagavata text in their abodes.
38. Those who devoutly present the Bhagavata scripture to a Vaisnava, reside in my world for thousands and crores of Kalpas.
39. Devas are propititated till the universal annihilation of all living beings by the men who honour the Bhagavata scripture in their abodes always.
40. If one has in one's abode half of a verse or even one-fourth of it from the excellent Bhagavata, of what use are the collection of hundreds and thousands of other scriptural texts?
41. If, in Kali Age, anyone who has no Bhagavata text in his abode, he will never return from the noose of Yama.
42. If there is no Bhagavata text in anyone's house in Kali Age, how can he be known as a Vaisnava? He is worse than a Candala.
43. O Lord of the worlds, scriptural texts must be collected even at the cost of all that one possesses. For the sake of propitiating me, O my son, a Vaisnava must do so always.
44. Wherever there is Bhagavata, the holy scripture, in Kali Age, I always stay there with Devas.
45. All the Tirthas, (West-flowing and East-flowing rivers) and lakes, Yajnas, the seven cities and all the meritorious mountains are present there.
46. O Lord of the worlds, my scripture should be listened to by one who seeks fame, virtue and victory, for the sake of dispelling sins and by the pious-minded one for the sake of salvation.
47. Srimadbhagavata is meritorious. It yields longevity, health and nourishment. By reading or listening to it, one is liberated from all sins.
48. If people do not listen to the great (scripture) Srimadbhagavata, O Lord of the worlds, their perpetual master is Yama. It is indeed the truth, the truth (positively).
49. If a man does not go to listen to Bhagavata, O son, particularly on the Ekadasi day, there is no greater sinner than he.
50. I stay in that house where a verse from Bhagavata, or half of it or even a quarter of it is kept written.
51. Approaching all the hermitages and taking a holy plunge in all the rivers is not as sanctifying unto men as Srimadbhagavata.
52. Wherever there is Srimadbhagavata, O Four-faced One, I go to that place like a cow fond of her calf.
53. I never abandon that man who is a reader and expounder of my stories, who is always engaged in listening to my stories and who is delighted in his mind (on hearing) my stories.
54. If a man does not stand up on seeing Srimadbhagavata, the meritorious scripture, O son, his merit for the whole year perishes. 
55. If a man honours Srimadbhagavata on seeing it by standing up and bowing down to it, by seeing him I derive matchless pleasure.
56. If on seeing Bhagavata from a distance a person (gladly) proceeds toward it, he shall undoubtedly attain the merit of 
a horse-sacrifice for every such step.
57. If a man gets up and bows down to Srimadbhagavata, I grant to him wealth, sons, wives and devotion.
58. If men devoutly listen to Srimadbhagavata offering royal reception and reverence to it, I am won over by them (easily).
59. O righteous one, men who listen devoutly to the great Srimadbhagavata during all my festivals give me great delight.
60. I am won over by them through clothes, ornaments, flowers, incense, lamps and presents like a good husband by a good wife.


2.6.3.11-19 (Bhagavata mahatmya)

Uddhava speaks:
11. That time [of Krsna-prakata-lila] has passed off. Therefore, listen to this other suggestion. On other occasions, that light can issue forth from Srimadbhagavata.
12. Certainly Srikrsna is present at that place and time where and when the scripture Srimadbhagavata is expounded and listened to by Bhagavatas (devotees, followers of the Lord).
13. Lord Krsna graces the place along with the cowherd lasses - the place where a verse of Srimadbhagavata or half of it is present.
14. If, after being born as human beings in Bharata, people have not heard about Bhagavata, self-murder has been committed by them.
15. The lines of families of their father, mother and wife have been redeemed by the people who have continuously resorted to the (study, recitation of or listening to) the scripture Srimadbhagavata.
16. From Srimadbhagavata Brahmanas will derive the enlightenment of learning, kings victory over their enemies, Vaisyas plenty of wealth and Sudras good health.
17. Women and other people shall obtain the realization of their desires. So which fortunate man will not continuously resort to Bhagavata?
18. It is only after fruition of merits of many births that a person can obtain Srimadbhagavata. Enlightenment and devotion to God result therefrom.
19. Formerly Srimadbhagavata was obtained by Brhaspati through the grace of Samkhyayana. Brhaspati imparted it to me. Therefore, I am a lover of Krsna.
