Verse 15

¹⁵Svayambhuva Manu had a son called Priyavrata. His son was Agnidhra, and from him came Nabhi, and Rsabha is remembered as Nabhi's son. ¹⁶They call him a portion of Vasudeva, come down out of a wish to speak the dharma that leads to release. He had a hundred sons, and they went to the far shore of Brahman. ¹⁷The eldest of them was Bharata, given over wholly to Narayana. This wonderful land is known by his name, Bharata. ¹⁸He had taken the enjoyment this land gives; then he left it, went out, and served Hari by austerity, and in three births he came to that footing. ¹⁹Of the hundred, nine were lords of the nine islands lying round this one, and eighty-one were twice-born men who set out the workings of ritual action.

²⁰Nine of them became greatly favoured sages who tell the point of things, wanderers girt with the wind, at home in the knowledge of the self. ²¹Kavi, Hari, Antariksa, Prabuddha, Pippalayana, Avirhotra, then Drumila, Camasa, Karabhajana.
