Bharata (I) — (Jaḍa): the eldest of the hundred sons of Ṛṣabha (Nābhi) and Jayantī; was devoted to Nārāyaṇa;¹ a Mahābhāgavata; married Pāñcajanī, daughter of Viśvarūpa and she gave birth to five sons; was installed on the throne; protected his subjects righteously and performed yajñas by the method of Cāturhotra; having spent a million years thus he divided his property among his sons and placed Sumati on his throne; he left for the hermitage of Pulastya as a hermit and became constant in the worship of Hari; gave up his kingdom and sought refuge in Hari;² a sage;³ one day when sitting on the bank of the river Cakranadī he saw a deer coming to the river and quenching her thirst; hearing a lion roar near by the deer took a leap when the young one slipped from her womb into the water and the deer herself fell dead; seeing this helpless one of a deer, Bharata loved it and brought it up as his own son; out of strong attachment to it he was born as a deer when he remembered his past life and was full of remorse; gave up his body by falling into the waters;⁴ next he was born as the son of a Brahmana of the Aṅgirasa line and with upanayana the father taught him Vedic literature; on his parents' death his brothers found him mad and unpractical and appointed him to work in the fields; once a certain Vṛṣala chieftain wanted to offer human sacrifice to Bhadrakālī and finding that the victim had escap-
Page2-538+ 38
ed, his attendants took this Jaḍabharata by force for sacrifice; at the point of his being sacrificed, Kālī who knew the Brahmana's spiritual virtue appeared in a ferocious form and cutting off the heads of all, rescued Bharata;⁵ once on his way to sage Kapila, King Rahūgaṇa felt the need for a palanquin-bearer and seeing Bharata the dull-witted at a distance on the banks of the Ikṣumatī, asked him to bear his palanquin; finding it carried irregularly causing in- convenience to him the haughty king chastised the Brahmana and threatened him with punishment; to this Bharata made a learned reply that all his remarks were true and nothing would harm one who had realised himself; on this the king free from haughtiness, thought that he was a yogin, and perhaps Kapila incognito; so he asked him who he was; Bharata spoke on mind and its eleven courses modified by māyā as obstacles to the dawn of knowledge; he continued to say that what was important was jñāna or knowledge which could be acquired by association with great and detach- ed men; in his own case he got defeated in his purpose by attachment to a deer.⁶ Bharata described in metaphysical language samsāra as a forest, and the jivas as a company of travelling merchants now meeting a Gandharva and now devils, now gathering wealth and now robbed of it; he then explained the implica- tions of samsāra in plain language and said that the quest after desires and pleasures led one to acquire more karma and sow the seeds for a further cycle of births and deaths;⁷ was succeeded as king by his son Sumati,⁸ Manu so-called for sustaining the people; after him the Varṣa came to be known as Bhārata;⁹ desirous of the territory on earth.¹⁰

भरत (bharata) [Printed book page 2-094]
Bharata is the name of a people of great importance in the Rigveda and the later literature. In the Rigveda they appear prominently in the third and seventh Maṇḍalas in connexion
Page2-095+ 65
with Sudās and the Tṛtsus,¹ while in the sixth Maṇḍala they are associated with Divodāsa.² In one passage³ the Bharatas are, like the Tṛtsus, enemies of the Pūrus: there can be little doubt that Ludwig's view of the identity of the Bharatas and and Tṛtsus is practically correct. More precisely Oldenberg⁵ considers that the Tṛtsus are the Vasiṣṭhas, the family singers of the Bharatas; while Geldner⁶ recognizes, with perhaps more probability, in the Tṛtsus the royal family of the Bharatas. That the Tṛtsus and Bharatas were enemies, as Zimmer⁷ holds, is most improbable even on geographical grounds, for the Tṛtsus in Zimmer's view⁸ occupied the country to the east of the Paruṣṇī (Ravi), and the Bharatas must therefore be regarded as coming against the Tṛtsus from the west, whereas the Rigveda⁹ recognizes two Bharata chiefs on the Sarasvatī, Āpayā, and Dṛṣadvatī — that is, in the holy land of India, the Madhyadeśa. Hillebrandt¹⁰ sees in the connexion of the Tṛtsus and the Bharatas a fusion of two tribes; but this is not supported by any evidence beyond the fact that in his opinion some such theory is needed to explain Divodāsa's appearing in connexion with the Bharadvāja family, while Sudās, his son, ^4 Translation of the Rigveda, 3, 172 et seq.
Page2-096+ 65
or perhaps grandson (cf. Pijavana), is connected with the Vasiṣṭhas and the Viśvāmitras. In the later literature the Bharatas appear as especially famous. The Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa¹¹ mentions Bharata Dauḥ- ṣanti as a king, sacrificer of the Aśvamedha (‘horse sacrifice’) and Śatānīka Sātrājita, as another Bharata who offered that sacrifice. The Aitareya Brāhmaṇa¹² mentions Bharata Dauḥ- ṣanti as receiving the kingly coronation from Dīrghatamas Māmateya, and Śatānīka as being consecrated by Somaśuṣman Vājaratnāyana, a priest whose name is of quite late origin. The geographical position of the Bharata people is clearly shown by the fact that the Bharata kings win victories over the Kāśis, and make offerings on the Yamunā (Jumna) and Gaṅgā (Ganges).¹³ Moreover, in the formula of the king's proclama- tion for the people, the variants recorded¹⁴ include Kuravaḥ, Pañcālāḥ, Kuru-Pañcālāḥ, and Bharatāḥ; and the Mahābhārata consistently recognizes the royal family of the Kurus as a Bharata family.¹⁵ It is therefore extremely probable that Oldenberg¹⁶ is right in holding that the Bharatas in the times of the Brāhmaṇas were merging in the Kuru-Pañcāla people. The ritual practices of the Bharatas are repeatedly mentioned in the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa,¹⁷ the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,¹⁸ the
Page2-097+ 67
Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,¹⁹ and the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka.²⁰ Already in the Rigveda²¹ there is mention made of Agni Bhārata (‘of the Bharatas’). In the Āprī hymns²² occurs a goddess Bhāratī, the personified divine protective power of the Bharatas: her association in the hymns with Sarasvatī reflects the connexion of the Bharatas with the Sarasvatī in the Rigveda.⁹ Again, in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa²³ Agni is referred to as brāhmaṇa Bhārata, ‘priest of the Bharatas,’ and is invited to dispose of the offering Manuṣvat Bharatavat, ‘like Manu,’ ‘like Bharata.’²⁴ In one or two passages²⁵ Sudās or Divodāsa and, on the other hand, Purukutsa or Trasadasyu appear in a friendly relation. Possibly this points, as Oldenberg²⁶ suggests, to the union of Bharatas and Pūrus with the Kurus. A Bharata is referred to in the fifth Maṇḍala of the Rig- veda:²⁷ who he was is uncertain.

view is that Sudās and the Bharatas

were later comers than the Tṛtsus, who

joined them as one people, the Vasiṣṭhas

becoming the priests of the Bharatas.

He suggests that the Vasiṣṭhas were

not originally adherents of the Indra-

to the Varuṇa cult; but there is

no decisive evidence for either sug-

Kuravaḥ, Pañcālāḥ, Kuru-Pañcālāḥ, and

janatāḥ, as alternatives, according to

the people to whom the king belongs;

the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, xv. 7, and the

Maitrāyaṇī Saṃhitā, ii. 6, 7, read esa te

janate rājā. See Weber, Indian Litera-

ture, 114, n.; von Schroeder, Indiens

Literatur und Cultur, 465.] 

[Footnote: 15) Oldenberg, Buddha, 409.] 

[Footnote: 16) Op. cit., 408. He points out

(409, n.) that in the Satapatha Brāh-

maṇa, xiii. 5, 4, only the Kuru king.

Janamejaya, and the Bharata kings

are mentioned without specification of

the peoples over whom they ruled.] 

[Footnote: 17) xiv. 3, 13; xv. 5, 24, and perhaps

xviii. 10, 8, on which see Weber,

Indische Studien, 10, 28, n. 2; below, p. 98.] 

[Footnote: 18) ii. 25; iii. 18. The sense ‘mer-

cenary soldier,’ here seen by the St.

Petersburg Dictionary, s.v. 2 (no longer

mentioned in the Dictionary of Böht-

lingk), cannot be accepted. See Weber,

Indische Studien, 9, 254; Oldenberg,

Buddha, 407, n. On the other hand,

there is no mention of the Bharatas in

the geographical lists of the Aitareya

Brāhmaṇa (viii. 14). in the Mānava

Dharma Śāstra, or in the Buddhist

texts. This means that the Bharatas

were no longer a people, but a family

or sub-tribe in a larger people.]

[Footnote: 20) i. 27, 2.] 

[Footnote: 21) ii. 7, 1. 5; iv. 25, 4; vi. 16, 19;

Taittirīya Saṃhitā, ii. 5, 9, 1; Śata-

patha Brāhmaṇa, i. 4, 2, 2. Roth thinks

this epithet of Agni perhaps means

‘warlike,’ but this is unlikely.] 

[Footnote: 22) Rv. i. 22, 10; 142, 9; 188, 8;

ii. 1, 11; 3, 8; iii. 4, 8, etc.] 

[Footnote: 9) iii. 23, 4: in verse 2 Devasravas

and Devavāta are mentioned as

Bhāratas, Oldenberg, Buddha, 410, n.,

mentions that in the Mahābhārata,

iii. 6065, a tributary of the Sarasvatī

is called Kauśikī, and the Kuśikas are,

of course, the family of Viśvāmitra,

whose connexion with the Bharatas is

beyond question.]
