He saw a lioness with her young came there and sat under a tree. The lioness's baby started drinking its mother's milk. Then he jumped and came towards Bharata.
Gone. Bharat was overjoyed. He got a partner to play with. In the game, Bharat put his hand in his mouth. The lion child did not bite him. Bharat was not even afraid of the lioness. Laughing, he climbed up on her. The lioness child and Bharata began to ride the lioness with pleasure.When the sage saw all this, he said - "This child is very fearless. He sees the teeth of a lion, plays with it, rides on a lioness, such a child cannot be ordinary."
