He said to him: 'Of what family are you, my friend?' He replied: 'I do not know, Sir, of what family I am. I asked my mother, and she answered: 'In my youth when I had to move about much as a servant, I conceived thee. I do not know of what family thou art. I am Gabâlâ by name, thou art Satyakâma,' I am therefore Satyakâma Gabâlâ, Sir.'

In plain words: The teacher asks about his family. Satyakama does not hide anything. He repeats exactly what his mother told him and says his name is Satyakama Jabala.
