Purport
As confirmed in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa:
atharva-vedaṁ sa muniḥ sumantur amita-dyutiḥ śiṣyam adhyāpayām āsa kabandhaṁ so ’pi ca dvidhā kṛtvā tu vedadarśāya tathā pathyāya dattavān
“That sage Sumantu, whose brilliance was immeasurable, taught the Atharva Veda to his disciple Kabandha. Kabandha in turn divided it into two parts and passed them down to Vedadarśa and Pathya.”

Translation
Sūta Gosvāmī said: Sumantu Ṛṣi, the authority on the Atharva Veda, taught his saṁhitā to his disciple Kabandha, who in turn spoke it to Pathya and Vedadarśa.
The Seventh Chapter describes the branches of the Atharva Veda, and the ten characteristics of a Purāṇa, as well as an enumeration of the Purāṇas.
The name of the disciple of Sumantu is Kabandha according to Viṣṇu Purāṇa.
