At Saunaka's request he communicates to them that Purana, which, from its containing an account of the lotus (Padma), whence Brahma appeared in order to create the world, is termed the Padma Purana. Suta, in replying, proclaims also his right by birth and profession to narrate the Puranas, which were in the present Kalpa imparted by Vishnu in
