bharatavaditi | eṣa hi devebhyo havyam bharati tasmādbharato 'gnirityāhureṣa u vā imāḥ prajāḥ prāṇo bhūtvā bibharti tasmādvevāha bharatavaditi

'Like as (with) Bharata,'--for, say they, he bears (bhar) the oblation to the gods, hence Bharata (the bearer) is Agni; or, say they, he, having become the breath, supports (bhar) these creatures, and therefore he says 'like as Bharata.'
