### SB 3.8.8

> साङ्ख्यायनः पारमहंस्यमुख्यो विवक्षमाणो भगवद्विभूतीः ।\
> जगाद सोऽस्मद्गुरवेऽन्विताय पराशरायाथ बृहस्पतेश्च ॥८॥

> sāṅkhyāyanaḥ pāramahaṁsya-mukhyo\
> vivakṣamāṇo bhagavad-vibhūtīḥ\
> jagāda so 'smad-gurave 'nvitāya\
> parāśarāyātha bṛhaspateś ca

*sāṅkhyāyanaḥ*—the great sage Sāṅkhyāyana; *pāramahaṁsya-mukhyaḥ*—the chief of all transcendentalists; *vivakṣamāṇaḥ*—while reciting; *bhagavat-vibhūtīḥ*—the glories of the Lord; *jagāda*—it came to; *saḥ*—he; *asmat*—mine; *gurave*—unto my spiritual master; *anvitāya*—followed; *parāśarāya*—unto the sage Parāśara; *atha bṛhaspateḥ ca*—also to Bṛhaspati.

**The great sage Sāṅkhyāyana was the chief amongst the transcendentalists, and when he was describing the glories of the Lord in terms of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, it so happened that my spiritual master, Parāśara, and Bṛhaspati both heard him.**
