### [v2.c4.s3.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s3.77)

Bharant, ‘bearing,’ in the plural denotes in one passage of the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa,¹ according to Böhtlingk,² following Sāyaṇa, ‘the warrior caste,’ but the sense is not certain. Weber³ was inclined to see a reference to the Bharatas, though the form of the word is that of the present participle.⁴
