Translation
Jaimini Ṛṣi, the authority of the Sāma Veda, had a son named Sumantu, and the son of Sumantu was Sutvān. The sage Jaimini spoke to each of them a different part of the Sāma-veda-saṁhitā.
The branches of the Sāma Veda are now described. The son of Sumantu was Sutvān. Jaimini gave one portion to his son and one portion to his grandson.

Personal Guidance
Jaimini speaks different parts of the Sama Veda to his son Sumantu, his grandson Sutvan, and others. Spiritual transmission can travel through bloodline when bloodline is also sadhana. Family can be a school of devotion.
Reflection Questions
- Is my family currently a school of devotion in any small way?
- What one habit could turn an ordinary moment with family into transmission?
