Sūta Said: Ṛṣabha who was fond of his son Bharata crowned him as king. By adopting the path of knowledge and detachment he conquered the serpents of his sense-organs; by all means he stabilised Īśvara, the supreme Ātman, within his own heart; he was immersed in devout feelings; he observed fasts; he wore bark garments and matted hair. He retired into darkness (i.e. solitary place). Devoid of all desires and his doubts all cleared, (in the end) he attained the great region, of Śiva. He gave the subcontinent to the south of the mountain Himavat to Bharata. Hence learned men call that subcontinent as Bharata Varṣa[3] after his name. Bharata’s son was the virtuous Sumati. Bharata entrusted the kingdom to his care. After transferring the royal glory to his son the king entered the forest for penance.
