GENESIS OF THE BHAGAVATA
 
नैमिशेऽनिमिषक्षेत्रे ऋषयश्शौनकादयः ।
सत्कृतं सूतमासीनं पप्रच्छुरिदमादरात् ॥
In the divine region of (the forest of)
Naimisa, Saunaka and other sages eagerly
enquired this of Suta*, the minstrel, who
was seated there (duly) honoured.
 
* Suta, son Romaharshana, hence called
Raumaharshani, is the reciter of this and the
other Puranas to Saunaka and other sages.
