teṣām svabhāvāt siddhiḥ sukhaprāyā hi atnataḥ

dharmādharamau na teṣu āstām na uttamādhamamadhyamāḥ

40. The great-souled (mahābhāga) King Ṛṣabha, having taken refuge in Pulaha's hermitage, performed severe penance (tapas). The father (Ṛṣabha) then gave the southern region called Himāhva to Bharata.
तस्मात् तु भारतं वर्षं तस्य नान्मा महात्मनः ।
भतस्याप्यभूत् पुत्रः सुमतिर्नाम धार्मिकः ॥४१॥
41. tasmāt tu bhārataṃ varṣaṃ tasya nānmā mahātmanaḥ .
bhatasyāpyabhūt putraḥ sumatirnāma dhārmikaḥ.
41. tasmāt tu bhāratam varṣam tasya nāmnā mahātmanaḥ
bharatasya api abhūt putraḥ sumatiḥ nāma dhārmikaḥ
41. Therefore, this land (varṣam) is known as Bhārata, named after that great-souled (mahātmanaḥ) one. A virtuous (dhārmika) son named Sumati was also born to Bharata.
तस्मिन् राज्यं समावेश्य भरतोऽपि वनं ययौ ।
एतेषां पुत्रपौत्रैस्तु सप्तद्वीपा वसुन्धरा ॥४२॥
42. tasmin rājyaṃ samāveśya bharato'pi vanaṃ yayau .
eteṣāṃ putrapautraistu saptadvīpā vasundharā.
42. tasmin rājyam samāveśya bharataḥ api vanam yayau
eteṣām putrapautraiḥ tu saptadvīpā vasundharā
42. Having entrusted the kingdom to him, Bharata also went to the forest. Indeed, the earth (vasundharā) with its seven islands was ruled by the sons and grandsons of these (descendants).
प्रियव्रतस्य पुत्रैस्तु भुक्त्वा स्वायम्भुवेऽन्तरे ।
एष स्वायम्भुवः सर्गः कथितस्ते द्विजोत्तम ॥४३॥
43. priyavratasya putraistu bhuktvā svāyambhuve'ntare .
eṣa svāyambhuvaḥ sargaḥ kathitaste dvijottama.
43. priyavratasya putraiḥ tu bhuktvā svāyambhuve antare
eṣa svāyambhuvaḥ sargaḥ kathitaḥ te dvijottama
43. The earth (vasundharā) with its seven islands was ruled by the sons of Priyavrata during the Svāyambhuva Manvantara. O best of the twice-born (dvijottama), this account of the Svāyambhuva creation (sarga) has been narrated to you.
पूर्वमन्वन्तरे सम्यक्
किमन्यत् कथयामि ते ॥४४॥
44. pūrvamanvantare samyak
kimanyat kathayāmi te.
44. pūrvamanvantare samyak
kim anyat kathayāmi te
44. O best of the twice-born (dvijottama), this account of the Svāyambhuva creation (sarga) has been narrated to you. What more shall I tell you, as the previous Manvantara has been fully described?
