This is the Eternal Love Story upon which Bharat is built. King Dushyant is stunned at the beauteous form of Shakuntala and exclaims ” How can there be such Beauty / Amidst earth dwelling mortals ? / This magnificent Beauty can only be compared / To the day’s bright lord ascending the hemisphere”. He falls in love with this ravishing female and she gives birth to the Philosopher King Bharat, from whom the name Bharat is derived !
