2.2

sukeśā ca bhāradvājaḥ śaibyaś ca satyakāmaḥ sauryāyaṇī ca gārgyaḥ kausalyaś cāśvalāyano bhārgavo vaidarbhiḥ kabandhī kātyāyanas te haite brahmaparā brahmaniṣṭhā paraṃ brahmānveṣamāṇā eṣa ha vai tatsarvaṃ vakṣyatīti te ha samitpāṇayo bhagavantaṃ pippalādam upasannāḥ ||

Sukeśā by name, and (known as) bhāradvājaḥ, (because he was) the son of Bharadvāja. Śaibyaḥ, the son of Śibi, who was Satyakāma by name. The son of Sūrya is Saurya, and Saurya's son is Sauryāyaṇi, the lengthening of i in Sauryāyaṇī being a Vedic licence; (and he was a) Gārgya, born of the family of Garga. Kausalya by name (and called) Āśvalāyana (because he was) the son of Aśvala. Bhārgava is one who was a scion of the line of Bhṛgu; and he was Vaidarbhi, being born in Vidarbha. Kabandhī by name; and he was Kātyāyana, a descendant (i.e. great grandson) of Katya, and had his great grandfather living, the suffix in the word being used to imply that sense. Te ha ete, these people who were such; were brahmaparāḥ, ever devoted to the inferior Brahman, mistaking that for the superior One; and they were brahmaniṣṭhāḥ, engaged in practices leading to Its attainment; and they were paraṁ brahma anveṣamāṇāḥ, intent on the search of supreme Brahman. What is that Brahman? That which is eternal and a thing to be realised. They, who searched for that Brahman with the idea, "For the sake of attaining It, we shall make efforts to our hearts content", approached a teacher for knowing about It, with the belief: "Eṣaḥ ha vai tat sarvaṁ vakṣyati, this one will certainly tell us everything regarding It." How did they go? Samit-pāṇayaḥ, with loads of faggot in hand; te ha, those people; upasannāḥ, approached; bhagavantaṁ pippalādam, the venerable Pippalāda, the teacher.
