Dushmanta (the famous Medhatithi

lover of Sakuntala daughter |

of Visvamitra by Menaka, Pras Kanna and other

hero of Kali Dasa's drama.) Brahmanas

Bharata
(Sub-Incarnation of Vishnu)

Bharata had three wives, all of Vidarbha. One of them bore
a son to the king, but he pronounced the child to be unlike himself.
The wives of the king killed their children for fear of their being
called illegitimate. Bharata gave Yajna offerings to the Maruts and
to Soma (Moon) that he might be blessed with a Son. The Maruts
gave him Bharadvaja as his son. Brihaspati (Jupiter) produced Bhara-
dvaja on Mamata (Egoism), the wife of his brother Utathya. The
parents deserted the child and he was brought up by the Maruts.
Bharadvaja being adopted by Bharata was called Vitatha.
