Satyakama Jabala was a pious boy, who has later become a holy sage, and he was mentioned in the sacred text, the Chandogya Upanishad. Once when he asked the name of his father, his mother was unable to tell, since due to the family condition, she had chosen a wrong path. But Jabala, was a very active and an intelligent boy, who went to the sage Haridrumata Gautama, to learn education from him. And he told about his true condition. The sage was convinced with the boy’s honesty and accepts him as a student in his school.
As per the advice of his guru, he got knowledge from the divine demi gods and he returns to his teacher and humbly learns the remaining portion of his education. A great Upanishad named as “Jabala Upanishad” was written by him.
Jabala has become a famous sage, and was well accepted by the other sages, due to his vast ocean of knowledge and for his great spiritual powers.
