Sons were born to Bharata by his noble wives, each separately. But the king took no joy in them, saying, "They are not worthy of me."

Note on the text: Corresponds to 1.89.17 of the critical edition (aligned by hand), whose first line reads differently (Bharata fathers nine sons on three wives).

Then a son named Divirtha was born to Bhumanyu. Suhotra, Suhota, Suhavi and Suyaju,

Dhumini bore Riksha; Nili bore Dushyanta and Parameshthin; and Keshini bore Jahnu and the two sons Jana and Rupin.

Note on the text: Corrected परमेष्ठइनौ → परमेष्ठिनौ and जनरूषिणौ → जनरूपिणौ (misprints in Wikisource; independent इ for the vowel sign ि, and ष for प, as in the critical edition's parameṣṭhinau and janarūpiṇau — the six sons the verse counts require the pair Jana and Rupin).

Verse 21 (1.101.21)

विदुः संवरणं वीरमृक्षाद्राथन्तरीसुतम् । तथेमे सर्वपञ्चाला दुष्यन्तपरमेष्ठिनोः । अन्वयाः कुशिका राजञ्जह्नोरमिततेजसः ॥
