One day Bharat Chakravarti came to attend the discourse of Bhagavan Rishabhdev. After the discourse the emperor asked
Prabhu ! Today there is no one in this world as endowed with knowledge and other such lofty
achievements as you are. But is there any being (soul) present here who will achieve in
future what you have achieved now?

The joy of emperor Bharat saw no bounds when he heard this prophecy of Bhagavan Rishabhdev. He rushed out of the Samavasaran bare feet and broke the news to Marichi. When Marichi heard about his illustrious future he danced with joy. He became very proud of his clan
Bharat! Your son Marichi will be the twenty fourth Tirthankar named Vardhaman. Before that he will also become a Vasudev as well
as a Chakravarti.
