The maternal vine goes on — Ātreyī-putra, Vātsī-putra, Bhāradvājī-putra: family after family, nurse after nurse. The monotony of the list is like the knocking of the same road that carried us the Chāndogya and both earlier vaṁśas: the truth travels long, and every one of its lodgings had a name.
For the reader these are the last miles of the road: beyond them is Yājñavalkya, and beyond Yājñavalkya the sky. The list reads like a thanksgiving diptych: every name is someone's life given so that "not so, not so" and "you are the Veda" should reach us.
