In the Mahapurana, Uttara Purana: 68. After returning to Saketa, the son of Kali, a learned Brahmin named Jatil, was born to Kapil. 69. He followed the path of a Parivrajaka, illuminating that path. After a long time, he died and became a god in Saudharma. 70. After enjoying the appropriate pleasures there for a period of time equivalent to two oceans, he was born in this Bharat, in the excellent city of Sthunanagara. 71. He was born as the son of the sage Bharadvaja, to his wife Pushpadatta, and was named Pushyamitra. 72. He adopted the previous attire, as defined by nature and others, and enlightened the minds of twenty-five foolish people with the right knowledge. 73. Due to his subdued passions, he became a god with a lifespan of a deva, enjoying the pleasures of Saudharma for a period equivalent to one ocean. 74. After enjoying those pleasures, he was born in the village of Sutika in Bharat, as the son of the sage Agnibhu, to his wife Gautami, and was named Abhisah. 75. He took initiation as a Parivrajaka and spent his time as before. At the end of his life, he attained the divine state in the Sanatkumara Kalpa. 76. He enjoyed the pleasures of heaven for a period equivalent to seven oceans. At the end of his lifespan, he was born in this Bharat, in the city of Mandira. 77. He was born as the son of the sage Gautama, to his wife Kaushiki, and was named Agnimitra. After attaining the ultimate knowledge, he returned to his previous life. 78. He took initiation as a Maheindra and was born again in the city of Mandira, as the son of the sage Salankayana. 79. He was known throughout the world as Bharadvaja, and practiced the three-staffed, unbroken initiation. 80. He became a god in the Maheindra Kalpa, with a lifespan equivalent to seven oceans. After being born again, he revealed the wrong path. 81. Due to the fruits of his actions, he was born in all the lower realms, experiencing great suffering. He wandered through countless births in the Trasa and Sthavara realms. 82. After being exhausted from his wanderings, he was born in the city of Rajagriha in the Magadha country, as the son of a learned Brahmin named Sandilya. 83. He was born to his wife Parashari, and was named Sthavara. He was a master of the Vedas and Vedangas, but was also a vessel of sin. 84. His intellect, knowledge, austerity, peace, meditation, and understanding of the truth were all useless, like the rays of the sun without the sun itself.
