TRANSLATION On taking
such a birth, he again revives the divine consciousness of his previous
life, and he tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete
success, O son of Kuru.
PURPORT King Bharata,
who took his third birth in the family of a good brahmana, is an
example of good birth for the revival of previous transcendental consciousness.
King Bharata was the emperor of the world, and since his time this planet
is known among the demigods as Bharata-varsa. Formerly it was known as
Ilavrta-varsa. The emperor, at an early age, retired for spiritual perfection
but failed to achieve success. In his next life he took birth in the family
of a good brahmana and was known as Jada Bharata because he always
remained secluded and did not talk to anyone. And later on, he was discovered
as the greatest transcendentalist by King Rahugana. From his life it is
understood that transcendental endeavors, or the practice of yoga,
never go in vain. By the grace of the Lord the transcendentalist gets repeated
opportunities for complete perfection in Krsna consciousness.
