She said to him: Child, I do not know what lineage you are. Wandering about as a serving woman among many men in my youth, I obtained you; I do not know what lineage you are. My name is Jabālā, and yours is Satyakāma; you should say, 'I am Satyakāma Jābāla.'

He asked him: "Gentle one, of what lineage are you?" He replied: "Sir, I do not know of what lineage I am. I asked my mother, and she answered me: 'While serving in many households in my youth, I bore you; I do not know of what lineage you are. My name is Jabālā, and yours is Satyakāma.' So I am Satyakāma Jābāla, sir."
Chāndogya 4.4.5
तꣳ होवाच नैतदब्राह्मणो विवक्तुमर्हति समिधꣳ सोम्याहरोप त्वा नेष्ये न सत्यादगा इति तमुपनीय कृशानामबलानां चतुःशता गा निराकृत्योवाचेमाः सोम्यानुसंव्रजेति ता अभिप्रस्थापयन्नुवाच नासहस्रेणावर्तेयेति स ह वर्षगणं प्रोवास ता यदा सहस्रꣳ संपेदुः ॥ ४.४.५ ॥
He said to him: "Only a brahmin could speak thus. Gentle one, bring fuel-sticks, and I will lead you forward; you have not departed from truth." Then, having accepted him as a student, he set apart four hundred cows, lean and weak, and said: "Gentle one, follow these." As he drove them forward, he said: "I will not return until they have become a thousand." He stayed away for a multitude of years, until they had become a thousand.
