Sanskrit:

सूत उवाचएतन्निशम्य मुनिनाभिहितं परीक्षिद्व्यासात्मजेन निखिलात्मद‍ृशा समेन ।तत्पादमूलमुपसृत्य नतेन मूर्ध्नाबद्धाञ्जलिस्तमिदमाह स विष्णुरात: ॥ १ ॥

ITRANS:

sūta uvācaetan niśamya muninābhihitaṁ parīkṣidvyāsātmajena nikhilātma-dṛśā samenatat-pāda-mūlam upasṛtya natena mūrdhnābaddhāñjalis tam idam āha sa viṣṇurātaḥ

Translation:

Sūta Gosvāmī said: After hearing all that was narrated to him by the self-realized and equipoised Śukadeva, the son of Vyāsadeva, Mahārāja Parīkṣit humbly approached his lotus feet. Bowing his head down upon the sage’s feet, the King, who had lived his entire life under the protection of Lord Viṣṇu, folded his hands in supplication and spoke as follows.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, some of the sages present while Śukadeva was instructing King Parīkṣit were impersonalist philosophers. Thus the word samena indicates that in the previous chapter Śukadeva Gosvāmī had spoken the philosophy of self-realization in a way pleasing to such intellectual yogīs.
