You’re correct, ‘jada’ does not mean ‘mad’. Perhaps, in that sentence, I should have used the phrase ‘Dull Bharat’. Still, the Bhagavatam refers to Jada Bharata as ‘unmatta’ or ‘mad’. He was perceived by people as a madman. [Kd] Thank you for pointing that out. You’re correct, ‘jada’ does not mean ‘mad’. Perhaps, in that sentence, I should have used the phrase ‘Dull Bharat’.

Prabhu, you have equated the sanskrit word ‘jada’ to the english word ‘mad’. But ‘jada’ actually means an ‘unconscious object’ that never reacts to anykind of action on it.
