JADA BHARATA |
|
| One day while
offering prayers to the Sun-god on the river bank, he saw a lone doe big with child coming
to quench its thirst in the river. Hardly had it touched the water when the forest echoed with the roar of a lion. The doe became terror-stricken and it just leaped into the water without even quenching its thirst and tried to ford it in a bid to escape to the other side of the river. Shocked by fear and overcome by the effort to negotiate the current, the doe gave birth to a young deer midstream. When Bharata in turn became old, he divided his kingdom among his five sons and following his father, went to the forest for performing tapas. |
