A few days rolled on in this way; days and nights passed unnoticed. Knowing that the time had come for naming the children, the king sent for the enlightened sage Vasiƒ¢ha. After paying him homage the king spoke to him thus, "Holy sir! Kindly assign them names that you have fixed your mind upon." "Their names are many and unique; yet O king, I will declare them according to my own lights. This eldest boy of yours, who is an ocean of felicity and embodiment of joy, a particle of which fills the three worlds with delight, has for His name ’RŒma’, the very home of bliss and the comforter of all the worlds. Your second son, who sustains and supports the universe, will be called ’Bharata’; while he whose very thought destroys one’s enemies is celebrated in the Vedas by the name of Ýatrughna’." (1—4)
