Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 321

Sanskrit:

योगीन्द्राय नमस्तस्मै शुकाय ब्रह्मरूपिणे ।संसारसर्पदष्टं यो विष्णुरातममूमुचत् ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

yogīndrāya namas tasmaiśukāya brahma-rūpiṇesaṁsāra-sarpa-daṣṭaṁ yoviṣṇu-rātam amūmucat

Translation:

I offer my humble obeisances to Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī, the best of mystic sages and a personal manifestation of the Absolute Truth. He saved Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who was bitten by the snake of material existence.

Purport:

Sūta Gosvāmī now offers obeisances to his own spiritual master, Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura clarifies that just as Arjuna was placed into material confusion so that Bhagavad-gītā might be spoken, so King Parīkṣit, a pure, liberated devotee of the Lord, was cursed to die so that Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam might be spoken. Actually, King Parīkṣit is viṣṇu-rāta, eternally under the protection of the Lord. Śukadeva Gosvāmī liberated the king from his so-called illusion to exhibit the merciful nature of a pure devotee and the enlightening effect of his association.
