śrī-śuka uvāca
atha sindhu-sauvīra-pate rahūgaṇasya vrajata ikṣumatyās taṭe tat-kula-patinā śibikā-vāha-puruṣānveṣaṇa-samaye daivenopasāditaḥ sa dvija-vara upalabdha eṣa pīvā yuvā saṁhananāṅgo go-kharavad dhuraṁ voḍhum alam iti pūrva-viṣṭi-gṛhītaiḥ saha gṛhītaḥ prasabham atad-arha uvāha śibikāṁ sa mahānubhāvaḥ.
While the King of Sindhu and Suvīra, Rahūgana, was traveling on the bank of the Ikṣūmatī River and the leader of his palanquin bearers was searching for extra bearer, by chance they came upon Bharata, best of the brāhmaṇas, who had arrived there. He was well nourished, young, and strong like a bull or donkey. Thinking that he was suitable to carry the load, they forcibly engaged that great devotee along with the other carriers who were also engaged by force. The great devotee, though not proper for such a job, carried the palanquin of the King.
The Tenth Chapter describes how King Rahūgana, understanding that the foul words he used to describe the carrier of the palanquin were not suitable for a great sage, got down from the palanquin and praised Bharata.
Bharata gave mercy to his brothers and neighbors who maintained him with rice and oil cakes, even though they were materialists filled with rajo-guṇa, by letting them see his form for a considerable period of time. He also gave mercy to the leader of the thieves, even though he was in deep tamo-guna, attached to sinful activities, and had beaten Bharata, because he arranged for thief’s liberation in the next life because he saw himself and Kālī directly. And he gave mercy to King Rahūgana who was in sattva-guṇa, being a jñānī, even though the King made him carry the palanquin through a manifestation of rajo-guṇa suitable to the position of a king. Because the King did not show rajas or tamas, and shows sattva, Bharata revealed bhakti and jñāna to the King. He did not reveal this to his brothers or the thieves. The story begins in order to reveal this. It should be explained that though, as paramahaṁsa, one should see everything equally, mercy manifests from one’s being a great devotee. Some say the story is told to explain how, by the mercy of the Lord, Bharata’s own bhakti, jñāna and vairāgya were multiplied a hundred times.
Rahūgana was King the states of Sindhu and Sauvīra. The leader of the carriers (tat-kula-patinā) was searching for another carrier. Bharata had well-nourished limbs and was strong. Thinking that he was capable (alam,) he forcibly engaged him.
