''Bharata''(Sanskrit: भरत, Indonesian: ''Barata'', Chinese: ''Poloto'', Burmese: ''Bhadra'', Malay: ''Baradan'', Tamil: ''Paratan'', Thai: ''Phra Phrot'', Khmer: ''ព្រះភិរុត'') in the Hindu epic Ramayana was the brother of the protagonist Rama and the second son of Dasharatha and only son of Kaikeyi. Dasharatha was the emperor of Ayodhya and belonged to the Suryavansha or Solar Dynasty. It is said that after Rama, he was the symbol of dharma and idealism. A few commentators, however, deem Bharata to be even greater than Rama himself in virtue. According to Valmiki Ramayana, Bharata is one quarter component of manifest Vishnu(Rama). ==Birth== The first male Swaymbhu Manu and the first female Satrupa who are the originator of the human race underwent severe penance and austerities to get a glimpse of God. They asked the Lord that they want to have a son like Him. The Lord said, "So be it. But where can I find one equal to me? O King, I shall be a son to you." They were reborn as Kashyapa and Aditi and then Dasharatha and Kausalya. The Lord appeared as Rama, the elder son of Dasharatha. Bharata was the second of the four sons of Dasharatha. His mother was Kaikeyi, the daughter of Kekeya Kingdom. The ''Ramayana'' describes the four brothers as loving and devoted to one another. He was also the husband to Mandavi, daughter of King Janaka's brother Kushadhvaja and thus a cousin of Sita, who was wife of Rama. They had two sons, Taksha and Pushkal. The spiritual guru Vashishtha during the naming ceremony says that Bharata is the incarnation of the power responsible for feeding and nourishing the whole world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bharata (Ramayana)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
