Eleen had Dushyant etc four sons
Dushyant had the Chakravartee emperor Bharat - about hose name Dev Gan
said this Shlok - "Mother is like a leather pump, only father has
the right on son. A son is like him by whom he is produced. Do not insult
Shakuntalaa. A son born of one's own semen takes his father from Yam Lok
to Swarg Lok. He is your son. Shakuntalaa has told you the truth."
Bharat
had three wives and had nine sons from them, but Bharat said - "They
are not like me"; lest Bharat leaves them, their mothers killed them.
Then Bharat did Marutsom Yagya with the desire of a son. At its completion
Marud Gan gave him Bharadwaaj named child as his son who was born from
Brihaspati's semen established in the womb of Utathya's wife Mamataa and
was delivered by Deerghatamaa Muni by hitting his foot.
This
Shlok is said about naming this boy - "After the son was delivered,
Brihaspati said to Mamataa - "This son is born 'Dwaaj' (from both of
us), therefore you bring him up (Bharan Karo)"; then Mamataa said -
"Hey Brihaspati, This son is born 'Dwaaj", you bring him up".
Thus arguing both parents went away, that is why he was named as
Bharadwaaj." Because the birth of sons got failed and Marud Gan gave
Bharadwaaj that is why he was called Vitath also.
