Yājñavalkya said:: He gave Kabandha the black (Atharvan Mantra). That scholar Kabandha classified it into two even as he listened to it and passed them on, one to Pathya and the second to Devadarśa. That lordly sage classified it into four. Devadarśa’s four disciples were Moda, Brahmabala, Pippalāda and Śaulkāyani was the fourth one. He was conversant with Dharma and he was established (and engrossed) in penance. All these four disciples of Devadarśa were firm observers of holy rites.
