Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The sage Jātūkarṇya was also a disciple of Śākalya, and after dividing the saṁhitā he received from Śākalya into three parts, he added a fourth section, a Vedic glossary. He taught one of these parts to each of four disciples—Balāka, the second Paila, Jābāla and Viraja. Śākalya’s disciple Jātūkarṇya divided his portion into three, and made a fourth part explaining the meanings of Vedic words. He gave these to four disciples.
