What’s inside

Seven days, seven parts. One real Bhāgavatam reading each evening, and after every day a two-page Codex Leaf.

The first leaf, set for the web:

CODEX LEAF 01 · THE SEVEN-DAY CLOCK

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.18.37

इति लङ्घितमर्यादं तक्षक: सप्तमेऽहनि । दङ्‍क्ष्यति स्म कुलाङ्गारं चोदितो मे ततद्रुहम् ॥ ३७ ॥

iti laṅghita-maryādaṁ takṣakaḥ saptame ’hani daṅkṣyati sma kulāṅgāraṁ codito me tata-druham

The brāhmaṇa’s son cursed the King thus: On the seventh day from today a snake-bird will bite the most wretched one of that dynasty [Mahārāja Parīkṣit] because of his having broken the laws of etiquette by insulting my father.

What this novel inventedThe storm, the silo and the starship. The seven days are the Bhāgavatam’s: the curse left Parīkṣit seven days, and he spent them hearing it.
