 According to Vishnu Purana (3.7.15-16), sage Vyasa composed the Puranas from materials contained in the tales, episode, ballads and narratives prevalent in the land and imparted it to Suta / Lomaharshana / Romaharshana for propagating it among the people. 


Lomaharshana was also called because he was born of a Kshatriya man and a Brahmin woman. This explanation is given by commentator Nilakantha in his commentary on Harivamsa Purana (1.4)


 Lomaharshana had six disciples – Sumati, Agnivarcas, Mitrayus, Samsampayana (Vaishampayana), Akrtavrana (Kashyapa) and Savarni. The last three composed Puranic collections of their own; so did Lomaharshana 


his son Sauti Ugrarasravas, and the line of sages 


who gave discourses on the Puranas at Naimisharanya, Kurukshetra and other sacred places.
