ṛṣabhādbharato jajñe vīraḥ putraśatādvaraḥ /
so 'bhiṣicyarṣabhaḥ putraṃ mahāpravrājyamāsthitaḥ //

Now Agnīdhra’s son Nābhi had a son Ṛṣabha, O brāhman. Ṛṣabha begot Bharata, a hero, the best among his hundred sons. Ṛṣabha having anointed his son in his stead betook himself to the strictest life of a wandering religions mendicant, and devoted himself to austerities, an illustrious hermit, dwelling in Pulaha’s hermitage. His father gave Bharata the southern country named after the mountain Him[12]; hence the country is called Bhārata after the name of that high-souled king. Bharata also had a righteous son called Sumati; and Bharata transferred the kingdom to him and departed to the forest.
