Seating himself comfortably on the excellent seat and duly worshipped by the sages he discussed with them the holy narrative of the Liṅgas, the narrative consisting of wonderful anecdotes. At the very same time, the intelligent Sūta who was well-versed in the Purāṇas came to Naimiṣa for offering homage to the sages. The residents of Naimiṣa greeted him duly with holy songs and adorations, (since) he was the disciple of Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana.[6] On seeing the truly trustworthy and scholarly Sūta Romaharṣaṇa[7] there arose in them the desire to hear the Purāṇa. They, thereafter, asked him about the meritorious Purāṇa that contained the glory and greatness of the Liṅgas.
