तथा त्वमपि मय्येवं मनसा भरतर्षभ । शक्तो जनयितु पुत्रांस्तपोयोगबलान्वित:,भरतवंशशिरोमणे! इसी प्रकार आप भी मेरे गर्भसे मानसिक संकल्पद्वारा अनेक पुत्र उत्पन्न कर सकते हैं; क्योंकि आप तपस्या और योगबलसे सम्पन्न हैं
tathā tvam api mayy evaṁ manasā bharatarṣabha | śakto janayituṁ putrāṁs tapoyogabalānvitaḥ ||
ఓ భరతర్షభా! ఇదే విధంగా మీరు కూడా మనస్సు సంకల్పమాత్రంతో నా గర్భంలో అనేక కుమారులను జనింపజేయగలరు; ఎందుకంటే మీరు తపస్సు మరియు యోగబలంతో సమృద్ధులు.

The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s idea that intense tapas and yogic discipline can confer extraordinary capacities, including the power to effect results through mental resolve; it also frames such power as something to be used within the aims of lineage and dharma.
A speaker addresses a Bharata ruler as “bharatarṣabha,” stating that, just as something similar has occurred, he too can generate many sons through mental intention because he possesses the strength arising from austerity and yoga—pointing to a supernatural mode of begetting heirs.
