We know that story that real Sri Shukadeva Goswami created his replica to have family life and on this way satisfy his father Srila Vyasadeva to stay at home . The real bhagavan rishi Sukadeva Goswami went to forest. That story didnt directly mentioned in Bhagavatam, but its mentioned in comments of Srila Prabhupada.
Anyway, we are all talking about real one Shuka, not the replica created by his mystic power.
thanks for this info prabhuji . srila rupa goswami said he was another person i.e chaya shuka but if prabhupada commented on it then it is truth behind chaya shuka. by all this i.e sb 1.3.2(my recent comments) we can say that maharaja chitraketu must pointed to other shukadeva as in whole history there can be many persons who have same names but vyasadeva's son shukadeva is real one who taught srimad bhagwatam to parikshit and who is param bhagwat.
Hare krishna!
As you already know, King Citraketu appeared even one life before he would become Vitrasura, on end of the satya yuga :
Its obvious that Sri Shukadeva Goswami appeared before King Citraketu, because mentioned by him :
yes srimad bhagwatam is perfect but actually vyasadeva appeared in recent dwapara yuga. he is son of parashara and matsyagandha i.e satyavati who lived in the past dwapara. shukadeva born from womb of vyasadeva's wife. srila rupa goswami mentioned about other shuka deva(chaya-shuka) in mayavad ki jivani book.maybe chitraketu mentioned his i.e chaya shuka's name.
-Brahma
-Vasishta
-Shakti
-Parashara
-Vyasa
-Shuka
Many catur yugas (satya,treta,dwapara,kali) were past since Sri Brahma was born.
In this short genealogical line, non of them was born in present catur yuga.
Thats my opinion based on mentioned quotes from Srimad Bhagavatam.
Hare Krishna.
hare krishna!!
Generally , as the King Parikshit made questions, Sri Shuka was speaking and gradually in this way,
bhagavatam was said and written.
Also we should keep this in mind, that in Srimad Bhagavatam we have three conversations :
1-Between Sri Shuka and King Parikshit
2-Between sri Maitreya rishi and Sri Vidura
3-Between Sri Suta( Brigu rishi son )and group of sages headed by Sri Shaunaka
Considering all that, generally, Srimad Bhagavatam is not spoken or written chronologically.
Anyway, Its worth mentioning that some stories are spoken chronologically,
especially Krishna child past times from the 10th canto.
