In Mahabharata
Samrat Bharat was a chandravansi King of India. Raja Ajmidh/Ajamidha was born in sixth generation of Maharaja Bharata. India gets its name Bharat from Maharaja Bharat. Maharaja Bharat had three sons namely Rikshu, Kanva and Meed. The descendants of the youngest son Meed were known as Ajmidhia or Ajmeria.
Sakuntala's son came to be called Bharata. And Bharata married Sunanda, the daughter of Sarvasena, the king of Kasi, and begat upon her the son named Bhumanyu. And Bhumanyu married Vijaya, the daughter of Dasarha. And he begat upon her a son Suhotra who married Suvarna, the daughter of Ikshvaku. To her was born a son named Hasti who founded this city, which has, therefore, been called Hastinapura. And Hasti married Yasodhara, the princess of Trigarta. And of her was born a son named Vikunthana who took for a wife Sudeva, the princess of Dasarha. And by her was born a son named Ajamidha. And Ajamidha had four wives named Raikeyi, Gandhari, Visala and Riksha. And he begat on them two thousand and four hundred sons. [1]
