अमूर्तरयसं वीरं त्रिवनं चैव धार्मिकम् गौरी कन्या तृतीया च मान्धातुर्जननी शुभा
Among them were Amurtarayas, a valiant one, and Trivana, a righteous man; Gauri was the third daughter, the auspicious mother of Mandhata.
इलिना तु यमस्यासीत् कन्या याजनयत्सुतान् ब्रह्मवादपराक्रान्ताञ् छुभदा त्व् इलिना ह्य् अभूत्
From Ilina, a daughter was born, who gave birth to sons devoted to Brahmanic speech and valor; Shubhada was indeed born from Ilina.
उपदानवी सुतांल्लेभे चतुरस्त्विलिनात्मजात् ऋष्यन्तमथ दुष्यन्तं प्रवीरम् अनधं तथा
Upadanavi obtained four sons from Ilina: Rishyanta, Dushyanta, Praveera, and Anadha.
चक्रवर्ती ततो यज्ञे दुष्यन्तात्समितिंजयः शकुन्तलायां भरतो यस्य नाम्ना च भारताः
From Dushyanta, the universal emperor, was born Samitinjaya; from Shakuntala, Bharata, after whom the Bharatas are named.
दौष्यन्तीं प्रति राजानं वागूचे चाशरीरिणी माता भस्त्रा पितुः पुत्रो येन जातः स एव सः
To Dushyanta, regarding his son, a bodiless voice spoke: 'Mother is the bellows, father the begetter; the son born from him is truly his.'
भरस्व पुत्रं दुष्यन्त मावमंस्थाः शकुन्तलाम् रेतोधां नयते पुत्रः परेतं यमसादनात् त्वं चास्य धाता गर्भस्य सत्यमाह शकुन्तला
'Acknowledge your son, Dushyanta; do not slight Shakuntala. The son leads the father, who has sown the seed, from Yama's abode. You are the creator of this child; Shakuntala speaks the truth.'
भरतस्य विनष्टेषु तनयेषु पुरा किल पुत्राणां मातृकात् कोपात् सुमहान्संक्षयः कृतः
Long ago, when Bharata's sons perished, a great destruction was wrought out of the mothers' wrath.
ततो मरुद्भिरानीय पुत्रः स तु बृहस्पतेः संक्रामितो भरद्वाजो मरुद्भिर्भरतस्य तु
Then, brought by the Maruts, a son of Brihaspati was transferred to Bharata by the Maruts.
भरतस्य भरद्वाजः पुत्रार्थं मारुतैः कथम् संक्रामितो महातेजास् तन्नो ब्रूहि यथातथम्
How was Bharadvaja, of great splendor, transferred by the Maruts to Bharata for the sake of a son? Tell me this truly.
पत्न्यामापन्नसत्त्वायाम् उशिजः स स्थितो भुवि भ्रातुर्भार्यां स दृष्ट्वा तु बृहस्पतिरुवाच ह
When his wife was pregnant, Ushija remained on earth; seeing his brother's wife, Brihaspati spoke thus.
उपतिष्ठ स्वलंकृत्य मैथुनाय च मां शुभे एवमुक्ताब्रवीदेनं स्वयमेव बृहस्पतिम्
'Adorn yourself and approach me for union, O auspicious one.' Thus addressed, she herself spoke to Brihaspati.
गर्भः परिणतश्चायं ब्रह्म व्याहरते गिरा अमोघरेतास्त्वं चापि धर्मं चैवं विगर्हितम्
'This embryo is mature and speaks with the voice of Brahman; your seed is unfailing, but this act is unrighteous.'
एवमुक्तो ऽब्रवीदेनां स्वयमेव बृहस्पतिः नोपदेष्टव्यो विनयस् त्वया मे वरवर्णिनि
Thus addressed, Brihaspati himself replied to her: 'You, of lovely complexion, must not instruct me in proper conduct.'
धर्षमाणः प्रसह्यैनां मैथुनायोपचक्रमे ततो बृहस्पतिं गर्भो धर्षमाणमुवाच ह
Overpowering her by force, he began intercourse; then the embryo spoke to Brihaspati, who was acting violently.
संनिविष्टो ह्य् अहं पूर्वम् इह नाम बृहस्पते अमोघरेताश्च भवान् नावकाश इह द्वयोः
'I am already present here, O Brihaspati, and your seed is unfailing; there is no room here for two.'
एवमुक्तः स गर्भेण कुपितः प्रत्युवाच ह यस्मात्त्वमीदृशे काले सर्वभूतेप्सिते सति अभिषेधसि तस्मात्त्वं तमो दीर्घं प्रवेक्ष्यसि
Thus addressed by the embryo, he, angered, replied: 'Because you, at such a time, when all beings desire birth, obstruct me, therefore you shall enter deep darkness for a long time.'
ततः कामं संनिवर्त्य तस्यानन्दाद्बृहस्पतेः तद्रेतस्त्वपतद्भूमौ निवृत्तं शिशुको ऽभवत्
Then, restraining his desire, Bṛhaspati’s seed, fallen to the earth from Mamatā’s lack of joy, became a child as it ceased.
सद्योजातं कुमारं तु दृष्ट्वा तं ममताब्रवीत् गमिष्यामि गृहं स्वं वै भरस्वैनं बृहस्पते
Seeing the boy born at once, Mamatā said, 'I will go to my own house; you, Bṛhaspati, take care of him.'
एवमुक्त्वा गता सा तु गतायां सो ऽपि तं त्यजत् मातापितृभ्यां त्यक्तं तु दृष्ट्वा तं मरुतः शिशुम् जगृहुस्तं भरद्वाजं मरुतः कृपया स्थिताः
Having spoken thus, she departed; and when she had gone, he too abandoned the child. Seeing the boy forsaken by both mother and father, the Maruts, moved by compassion, took up that Bharadvāja.
तस्मिन्काले तु भरतो बहुभिर् ऋतुभिर्विभुः पुत्रनैमित्तिकैर्यज्ञैर् अयजत्पुत्रलिप्सया
At that time, Bharata, the illustrious one, performed many seasonal sacrifices for the sake of obtaining a son.
यदा स यजमानस्तु पुत्रं नासादयत्प्रभुः ततः क्रतुं मरुत्सोमं पुत्रार्थे समुपाहरत्
But when the sacrificer did not obtain a son, he then performed the Marutsoma sacrifice for the sake of a son.
तेन ते मरुतस्तस्य मरुत्सोमेन तुष्टुवुः उपनिन्युर्भरद्वाजं पुत्रार्थं भरताय वै
By that sacrifice, the Maruts were pleased with him through the Marutsoma, and they brought Bharadvāja to Bharata for the purpose of a son.
दायादो ऽङ्गिरसः सूनोर् औरसस्तु बृहस्पतेः संक्रामितो भरद्वाजो मरुद्भिर्भरतं प्रति
Bharadvāja, the true-born son of Bṛhaspati, heir of the Aṅgiras line, was transferred by the Maruts to Bharata.
भरतस्तु भरद्वाजं पुत्रं प्राप्य विभुर् ब्रवीत् आदाव् आत्महिताय त्वं कृतार्थो ऽहं त्वया विभो
Bharata, having obtained Bharadvāja as a son, said, 'At first, for my own benefit, you were given; now, through you, I am fulfilled.'
पूर्वं तु वितथे तस्मिन् कृते वै पुत्रजन्मनि ततस्तु वितथो नाम भरद्वाजो नृपो ऽभवत्
Because, at first, the birth of a son was in vain, therefore Bharadvāja the king was called Vitatha.
तस्मादपि भरद्वाजाद् ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया भुवि द्व्यामुष्यायणकौलीनाः स्मृतास्ते द्विविधेन च
From that Bharadvāja, brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas arose on earth, known as the Dvyāmuṣyāyaṇa lineages, of two kinds.
ततो जाते हि वितथे भरतश्च दिवं ययौ भरद्वाजो दिवं यातो ह्य् अभिषिच्य सुतमृषिः
After Vitatha was born, Bharata went to heaven; and Bharadvāja, having anointed his son, also went to heaven.
दायादो वितथस्यासीद् भुवमन्युर् महायशाः महाभूतोपमाः पुत्राश् चत्वारो भुवमन्यवः
Bhuvamanyu, of great fame, became the heir of Vitatha; and his four sons, the Bhuvamanyus, were like great beings.
बृहत्क्षत्रो महावीर्यो नरो गर्गश्च वीर्यवान् नरस्य संकृतिः पुत्रस् तस्य पुत्रो महायशाः
Bṛhatkṣatra, of great valor, Nara, and Garga, who was mighty; Saṃkṛti was the son of Nara, and his son was renowned.
गुरुधी रन्तिदेवश्च सत्कृत्यां ताव् उभौ स्मृतौ गर्गस्य चैव दायादः शिबिर्विद्वानजायत
Gurudhī and Rantideva, both remembered for their honor, and Śibi, the learned son of Garga, was born as his heir.
