In front of a sizable group of elderly people under the leadership of Shaunaka Rishi, Srila Suta Goswami recited the entire Bhagavata Purana at Suta Gaddi. Parikshit Maharaj overheard the great devotee Srila Shukadeva Goswami giving him the tale when he just had a week to live. Srila Shukadeva Goswami was the first to describe the Bhagavata Purana, and Srila Suta Goswami came after him.
