The four ashramas or stages of life are meant for the attainment of the four purusharthas or human goals mentioned in the previous four episodes. The first stage of life is brahmacharya or studenthood. This is characterised by simple living and dedication to service and acquiring knowledge. The story of Satyakama, the son of Jabala has been chosen to carry this concept. Satyakama had an intense desire to study the scriptures but nobody in town was ready to accept him as a disciple. One day, when he sees Sage Gautama on the banks of river Ganga, he falls at his feet and pleads for knowledge. When Gautama inquires about his father and lineage, he runs to his mother to find out. Jabala, his mother, truthful as she was, informs him that she is unaware of who his father was, as she had a relationship with many men. She asked him to inform Gautama Rishi that he is the son of Jabala, so he was Satyakama Jaabaala. Satyakama does so without any hesitation. Impressed by the commitment to truth, Sage Gautama accepts Satyakama as his disciple in spite of all odds.
