Brhaspati said to Mamata, “You foolish woman, although this
child was born from the wife of one man through the semen dis-
charged by another, you should maintain him.” Upon hearing
this, Mamata replied, ““O Brhaspati, you maintain him!” After
speaking in this way, Brhaspati and Mamata both left. Thus the
child was known as Bharadvaja.
