One day when the great sages of hard austerities, who were present at the twelve years' sacrifice of Kulapati Shaunaka, were comfortably sitting in the Naimisharanya, Rishi Lomaharshana's son, Ugrashrava, popularly known as Sauti, well-read in the Puranas, came to them with all humility.
लोमहर्षणपुत्र उग्रश्रवाः सौतिः पौराणिको नैमिषारण्ये शौनकस्य कुलपतेर्दादशवार्षिक सत्रे॥ सुखासीनानभ्यगच्छद्ब्रह्मर्षीन् संशितव्रतान्। विनयावनतो भूत्वा कदाचित् सूतनन्दनः॥
