# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 7 Text 9 (March 29, 2015)

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 1 Chapter 7 Text 9](http://vedabase.com/en/sb/1/7/9)**

 

*śaunaka uvāca
sa vai nivṛtti-nirataḥ
sarvatropekṣako muniḥ
kasya vā bṛhatīm etām
ātmārāmaḥ samabhyasat* 

TRANSLATION
Śrī Śaunaka asked Sūta Gosvāmī: Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī was already on the path of self-realization, and thus he was pleased with his own self. So why did he take the trouble to undergo the study of such a vast literature?
