There, in that capital city Vinītā, arose a king named Bharata, a fourfold-bounded cakravartin, having the endurance of the Great Himavat, great Malaya, Mandara, and Mahendra, up to reigning over the kingdom he dwelled.
The second textual description of the king is as follows: There, after an interval of an incalculable period of time, he is born, renowned, noble, high-born, endowed with the qualities of strength, vigor, and prowess; possessed of praiseworthy complexion, voice, substance, osseous structure, intellect, retention, wisdom, configuration, conduct, and disposition; endowed with preeminent dignity, luster, and gait; eminent in many forms of speech; endowed with brilliance, life-span, strength, and vigor; bearing a body with a vajra-ṛṣabha-nārāca osseous structure, solid and firm without hollows like an iron chain; having regions of his hands and feet clearly marked and variegated with many praiseworthy auspicious signs such as fish, yoke, pitcher, vardhamānaka, auspicious seat, conch, umbrella, fan, banner, wheel, plow, pestle, chariot, svastika, elephant-goad, moon, sun, fire, sacrificial post, ocean, Indra’s banner, earth, lotus, elephant, lion-throne, staff, water-jar, excellent mountain, excellent horse, crown, earrings, nandāvarta, bow, spear, vessel, mansion, and celestial car; having an expansive chest covered with a śrīvatsa formed of praiseworthy hairs that were upward-pointing, delicate, glossy, soft, and curling; bearing a body perfectly proportioned according to country and region; possessing a complexion like the interior of an excellent lotus bloomed by the rays of the young sun; having praiseworthy hindquarters clean and unsoiled like the sheath of a well-nourished horse; having a fragrance equal to padma, utpala, kunda, jasmine, yūthikā, excellent campaka, nāgapuṣpa, and musk; endowed with thirty-six and more praiseworthy royal virtues; possessed of an unbroken royal umbrella; a full moon in the sky of his pure lineage of well-known maternal and paternal descent; pleasing to the eyes and mind through gentleness like the moon; unagitated and calm like the ocean; like Dhanapati in spending wealth for the accumulation of pleasures; undefeated in battle, endowed with supreme prowess; possessing form equal and similar to the king of immortals—the lord of men, Bharata cakravartin, whose enemies were destroyed, ruled over Bharata.
