Following Bharata, there were ninety-nine other sons. Among these were nine elderly sons, named Kuśāvarta, Ilāvarta, Brahmāvarta, Malaya, Ketu, Bhadrasena, Indraspṛk, Vidarbha and Kīkaṭa.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Younger than Bharata, but older than the others, were the sons named Kuśāvarta, Ilāvarta, Brahmāvarta, Malaya, Ketu, Bhadrasena, Indraspṛk, Vidarbha and Kīkaṭa. Younger than Bharata (tam anu), were nine sons older than the others (pradhānāḥ). Using the masculine instead of the neuter in the word pradhānāḥ is poetic license.
