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