अध्याय ९५: चित्राङ्गदस्य गन्धर्वेण सह संग्रामः तथा विचित्रवीर्यस्य राज्याभिषेकः
Chitrāṅgada’s duel with the Gandharva and Vicitravīrya’s consecration
ततो महद्धिः क्रतु भिरीजानो भरतस्तदा । लेभे पुत्र भरद्वाजाद् भुमन्युं नाम भारत,भारत! तब महाराज भरतने बड़े-बड़े यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान किया और महर्षि भरद्वाजकी कृपासे एक पुत्र प्राप्त किया, जिसका नाम भुमन्यु था
tato mahadbhiḥ kratubhir ijāno bharatas tadā | lebhe putraṃ bharadvājād bhūmanyuṃ nāma bhārata ||
Daraufhin vollzog König Bharata große Opferhandlungen. Und durch die Gnade des Weisen Bharadvāja erhielt er einen Sohn, o Nachkomme Bharatas, mit Namen Bhūmanyu.

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a dharmic model of attaining prosperity and continuation of lineage: a ruler performs great Vedic rites with discipline and receives the fruit through the blessing of a sage, emphasizing merit, humility, and alignment with sacred order rather than coercion.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that King Bharata conducted major sacrifices and, through the grace/agency of the sage Bharadvāja, obtained a son named Bhūmanyu, continuing Bharata’s line.
