Chapter 220
तिस््र: कन्या भवन्त्यन्या यासां स भरत: पति: । भरतस्तु सुतस्तस्य भरत्येका च पुत्रिका,शंयुके तीन कनन््याएँ और हुईं, जिनका बड़ा भाई भरत ही पालन करता था। भरत (ऊर्ज)-के “भरत” नामवाला ही एक पुत्र तथा “भरती” नामकी एक कन्या हुई
tisraḥ kanyā bhavanty anyā yāsāṃ sa bharataḥ patiḥ | bharatas tu sutas tasya bharaty ekā ca putrikā ||
马尔坎德耶说道：“又有三位少女诞生，婆罗多便为她们作护持与监护者。那位婆罗多生下一子，名亦曰‘婆罗多’，又生一女，名曰‘婆罗蒂’（Bhāratī）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights familial dharma: a capable elder (Bharata) assumes responsibility as guardian for younger girls, and the continuity of lineage is noted through the naming of his children.
Mārkaṇḍeya continues a genealogical account: three additional daughters are mentioned under Bharata’s protection, and then Bharata’s own two children—his son Bharata and his daughter Bhāratī—are introduced.
