			Bharata Mahārāja was a great devotee, but he did not attain success in one life. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is said that a devotee who does not fulfill his devotional duties in one life is given the chance to be born in a fully qualified ''brāhmaṇa'' family or a rich ''kṣatriya'' or ''vaiśya'' family.

However, due to his strong position as a devotee, he was gifted with the remembrance of his past life. Being repentant, he remained in a solitary forest and always thought of Kṛṣṇa.
