A hundred sons· Verses 8–13

।

Then the Bhagavan Rsabhadeva, taking his own region for the field of works, showed men what living in a teacher's house is; and released by his teachers, who had received their gifts, he taught the duties of householders, took Jayanti whom Indra gave him, joined himself to work of both kinds as the tradition lays it down, and begot a hundred sons like himself. Of these the eldest, and the best in every quality, was Bharata, the great yogin; and it is from him that they call this region Bharata. After him came nine who were the chief among ninety: Kusavarta, Ilavarta, Brahmavarta, Malaya, Ketu, Bhadrasena, Indrasprk, Vidarbha and Kikata.

Kavi, Havi, Antariksa, Prabuddha, Pippalayana, Avirhotra, then Drumila, Camasa, Karabhajana. These nine, great among the Lord's own, saw the dharma of the Lord's own. Their good conduct, swollen with the greatness of the Bhagavan, and the talk between Vasudeva and Narada that leads to calm, we shall tell of further on. The eighty-one younger sons born of Jayanti did what their father told them, and became brahmins: very modest, deeply learned in what is heard, given to sacrifice, made clean by their work.
