Sutaji said: Shri Shukadevaji had not yet completed his yajnopavit sanskara or initiation ritual into Vedic life, and therefore not conducted either worldly or Vedic duties, yet he was leaving all by himself to take sanyasa or renounce all worldly bonds.
When his father sage Vyasa saw this, he became agitated with the sadness of parting, and shouted: Son! My Son! Since Shri Shukadevaji had become one with the trees of the forest, they replied on his behalf. I offer my namaskara or reverence to sage Shukadeva who is seated in the hearts of all || 2 ||
