1. Sri Suka said:—Then (in the next stage the history of Bharata is as follows). There was a very holy Brahmin foremost of the Angiras Race, distinguished for his tranquility, control of the senses, Tapas, study of the Vedas, charitable gifts, contentment, spirit of endurance, modesty, the knowledge of Vedic rites, freedom from envy and jealousy, self-realisation and the felicity (arising from his great righteous disposition); he had nine sons by one wife who were all like himself in learning, character, conduct, beauty, generosity and other qualities and by the younger wife he had twins, a son and a daughter.
