Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

From the sastric information we understand this Bhārata-varṣa is meant from the name, from the name of Ṛṣabhadeva's son Bhārata.
Lecture on SB 5.5.1 -- Delhi, November 28, 1975:

Guest (1): Your good sir, if you describe the following of Bhārata Mahārāja, Bhārata-varṣa. I'd like to be enlightened on that, how the Bhārata-varṣa is derived.

Prabhupāda: Bhārata, Bhārata Mahārāja, yes.

Guest (1): You have very named... I couldn't get it. I feel, personally for myself, that the Bhārata was the new vision of the self as the fulfiller, and from that, it has been derived.

Prabhupāda: There are two, three Bhāratas. So Śakuntalā's son was Bhārata, and Rāmacandra's brother was Bhārata, and the Ṛṣabhadeva's son was Bhārata. But from the sastric information we understand this Bhārata-varṣa is meant from the name, from the name of Ṛṣabhadeva's son Bhārata.

Guest (1): Name of?

Prabhupāda: Bhārata.

Guest (1): And you say it has been derived from the twelfth son, Bhārata.

Prabhupāda: Yes. He had one hundred sons. The eldest son's name was Bhārata.
