1.4.1

ṛṣaya ūcuḥ |
saumya vyāsasya bhāryāyāṃ kasyāṃ jātaḥ sutaḥ śukaḥ |
kathaṃ vā kīdṛśo yena paṭhiteyaṃ susaṃhitā ||

The Risis said:-- O Saumya! How was S’uka Deva born? Who studied these Purâna Samhitâs; by which wife of Vyâsa Deva? And How? O highly intelligent one! You have just spoken that S’uka Deva was not born from womb, in the natural way; he was born of the dry pieces of wood for Homa sacrifice. But we heard before that the great ascetic was Yogi even in his mother's womb, so a great doubt comes to our minds. You better remove that to-day; how he studied also these Purânas, as vast in their nature; say this.
