Setting Stage for Srimad Bhagavatam!

Verse 1.19.9-10 (Mohan Prji):

* Translation: From different parts of the universe there arrived great sages like Atri, Cyavana, Śaradvān, Aristanemi, Bhrgu, Vasistha, Parāśara, Viśvāmitra, Ańgirā, Paraśurāma, Utathya, Indrapramada, Idhmavāhu, Medhātithi, Devala, Ārstisena, Bhāradvāja, Gautama, Pippalāda, Maitreya, Aurva, Kavasa, Kumbhayoni, Dvaipāyana and the great personality Nārada.
* What we can understand from this verse is that so many great sages were coming to the banks of the Ganges, just to set a sage to what is going to happen next.
* This is so because, when we read this, it is setting a stage that the message that is going to be delivered soon in here, is very very important. Cause otherwise, these great sages would not come to one place together.
