sages, headed by Saunaka Rsi. They questioned Srila Sita Gosvami, who presided
at the meeting, about why Srila Sukadeva Gosvami, a paramahannsa already in the
transcendental position, was attracted to a discussion of the qualities of Krsna In
other words, they wanted to know why Sri Sukadeva Gosvami engaged in the
study of Srimad-Bhagavatam.
