Therefore, O descendant of the Puru race, cherish your this high-souled son, born of Shakuntala. As you will cherish this child at our word, therefore, your this son will be known by the name of Bharata.
शाकुन्तलं महात्मानं दौष्यन्ति भर पौरव। भर्तव्योऽयं त्वया यस्मादस्माकं वचनादपि॥ तस्माद् भवत्वयं नाम्ना भरतो नाम ते सुतः।
