1. Sri Suka said:—On another occasion when Rahugana, king of Sindhu and Sauvira countries was journeying on the banks of the Ikshumati [to see the worshipful sage Kapila dwelling in a hermitage there], their chief [king's officer] who was in quest of (other) bearers of palanquin providentially came up and found that great Brahmana (Bharata) and thought, "This is a stout youthful man of adamantine frame and fit to bear any burden like a bull or a donkey and took him by force along with others who had been taken to do forced labour for nothing; and that great man of high virtue bore the palanquin under compulsion, though not fit to do it.
