After Bhagwat was written, his disciples retained its stanzas in the memory. Once some disciples while in forest saw a young man sitiing steadyfast in its posture. They tried to talk to him, touched him to make him awake but nothing worked. This was Shuk Dev. They were reciting the following verse from Bhagwat
"Barha peedam natavara vapu: karnayo: karnikaram,
bibrath vasa: kanaka kapisam vaijayanthim cha malam"
It means Krishn was looking extremely charming with his peacock feather, flute, beautiful artistic posture and the classic garland _Vaiayanti Mala.

To the surprise of disciples Shuk Dev opened his eyes , but closed again thinking that the person with such a beauty would not be accessible. The divine words related to Krishn entered into his trans! Disciples came back to Ved Vyas and they told him about the young man they saw in the forest.. Ved Vyas at once realized that the man was none other than Shuk Dev. He then asked his disciples to go back to the forest and recite the following verse from Bhagwat :
aho bakiyam sthana-kala-kutam jighamsayapayayad apy asadhvi
lebhe gatim dhatry-ucitam tato nyam kam va dayalum saranam vrajema

Disciples did as they were directed. They went to the forest and recited the verse where Shuk Dev was in the trans.

The verse says Krishn is so kind that he gave his abode (the eternal bliss) to the demon Putna who went to kill him on the pretext that she breast fed Krishn, though the action of breast feeding was done with intention to kill Krishn. Putna applied a dreaded poison the tip of her breast and put it in the mouth of 6 days old Krishn so that Krishn would be killed. However, Krishn killed Putna instead but gave her his abode.

Listening to this Shuk Dev came out of the trans and asked disciples where they learned that verse. Disciples told that the verse was constructed by their master Ved Vyas and there were many such verses in Bahgwat.

Suk Dev went to Ved Vyas and listened to the Bhagwat and then narrated it to Parikshit.
