समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः
Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
अन््येषां चैव भूतानां विविधानां समुद्धव: । महर्षेराश्रमपदे कण्वस्य च तपस्विन:,इसी पर्वमें अत्यन्त प्रभावशाली दैत्य, दानव, यक्ष, नाग, सर्प, गन्धर्व और पक्षियों तथा अन्य विविध प्रकारके प्राणियोंकी उत्पत्तिका वर्णन है। परम तपस्वी महर्षि कण्वके आश्रममें दुष्यन्तके द्वारा शकुन्तलाके गर्भसे भरतके जन्मकी कथा भी इसीमें है। उन्हीं महात्मा भरतके नामसे यह भरतवंश संसारमें प्रसिद्ध हुआ है
anyeṣāṁ caiva bhūtānāṁ vividhānāṁ samudbhavaḥ | maharṣer āśramapade kaṇvasya ca tapasvinaḥ ||
此处亦叙述其他诸类众生纷繁的起源。在大圣仙迦那婆——苦行至极者——的精舍聚落中，又讲到杜沙延多因沙恭达罗之胎而为婆罗多之父。由那位卓绝的婆罗多，此一世系遂为世间所共知，称为“婆罗多王族”，将宇宙的肇始与以苦行清净与正统继承为根基的王道理想相贯通。

Educational Q&A
The passage ties the fame of a royal lineage to righteous origins: legitimate succession and the sanctifying presence of tapas (ascetic power) in the āśrama setting. It suggests that enduring political identity (the Bhārata line) is grounded in moral order—proper lineage, restraint, and reverence for sages.
The text signals two strands of narration within this section: (1) accounts of the origins of many classes of beings, and (2) the episode at sage Kaṇva’s hermitage where Duṣyanta fathers Bharata through Śakuntalā, after which the dynasty becomes widely known as the Bhārata lineage.
