Sukesha na anak ni Bharadvaja, at si Satyakama na anak ni Sibi, at si Gargya mula sa angkan ng Surya, at si Kausalya na anak ni Ashvala, at si Bhargava mula sa bansa ng Vidarbha, at si Kabandhi na anak ni Katya — lahat sila, nakatuon sa Brahman, nanatili sa Brahman, naghahanap ng Kataas-taasang Brahman, lumapit sa kagalang-galang na Pippalada na may panggatong sa kamay, na nag-iisip, 'Siya nga ang magsasabi sa amin ng lahat ng ito.'
Sukesha son of Bharadvaja, and Satyakama son of Sibi, and Gargya of the Surya lineage, and Kausalya son of Ashvala, and Bhargava of the Vidarbha country, and Kabandhi son of Katya—all these, devoted to Brahman, established in Brahman, seeking the Supreme Brahman, approached the venerable Pippalada with fuel in hand, thinking, 'He indeed will tell us all this.'
