When Mahārāja Bharata performed the sacrifice known as Maṣṇāra (or a sacrifice in the place known as Maṣṇāra), he gave in charity 1,400,000 excellent elephants with white tusks and black bodies, completely covered with golden ornaments. Mṛgān means the best elephants. Bhadra, mantra, and mṛga are species of elephants. Maṣnāra refers a holy place or a particular ritual according to some. Śruti says: hiraṇyena parivṛtān kṛṣṇān śukla-dato mṛgān maṣṇāre bharato ’ddācchataṁ baddhāni sapta ca Bharata gave a hundred and seven baddhas of black elephants with white tusks, covered with gold at Maṣnāra. Ṛg Veda, Aitareya Brāhmaṇa 8.23.3 107 baddhas is 1,400,000 which is what Śukadeva says. Dividing 1,400,00 by 107 one gets 13,084 (approximately).
