Sanskrit Original
नाभेर्निसर्गं वक्ष्यामि हिमाह्वे ऽस्मिन्निबोधत। नाभिस्त्वज नयत्पुत्रं मेरुदेव्यां महाद्युतिम।।
nābhernisargaṃ vakṣyāmi himāhve 'sminnibodhata| nābhistvaja nayatputraṃ merudevyāṃ mahādyutim||
I shall recount the procreation by Nābhi in the sub-continent called Hima. Understand it. Nābhi begot a highly lustrous son, of Meru-Devī. He was Ṛṣabha, the most excellent of all kings. He was the eldest of all Kṣatriyas. Heroic Bharata was born of Ṛṣabha. He was the eldest of hundred sons. Ṛṣabha crowned his son and engaged himself in Mahāpravrajyā (the great migration of renunciation i.e. journey or pilgrimage till death). He allotted the southern sub-continent named Hima to Bharata.
