Re: REQUEST : Can some one identify the characters in the story?
This is from one of the Upanishads. The boy's name is Satyakama Jabala
(sp?). I believe he was given the name Satyakama, and his mother's name was
Jabala. So, his mother told him that his name was Satyakama Jabala. When he
truthfully told the details of his origins to his guru, the guru accepted
him even though the details of gotra, etc. were not known, and it could not
be known for certain if the boy was indeed born into a brahmin family.
Anyway, I'm not sure if the exact details of the story as you retold it
were correct, but I'm pretty sure you are referring to the one I am
thinking about.
