Hare Krishna.

"Sukamahamunin" = Suka + Mahamunin, who is the
self-same Sri Sukadeva Goswami, who spoke the Srimad
Bhagavatam. In several puranic histories, he is
described as Pravati's parrot who hears the glories of
the Lord with Parvati when Lord Shiva describes these
to her. In his next pastime, he appears in the womb of
Srila Vyasadeva's wife as Sukadeva Goswami. Suka means
parrot also. So, sometimes in pictoral drawings, he is
represented with a parrot's face although I believe
that he had a human face when he appeared as Sukadeva
Goswami. Sometimes, for example, Kurma avataram is
portrayed as the Lord having His original face and a
tortoise's body but if descriptions may be analysed
more thoroughly, the Lord appears in full tortoise
form with a tortoise face as well. In either case,
this I believe is the personality "Sukamahamunin".
