Bharataroha (भरतरोह) is the name of a minister of Pālaka, an ancient king from Ujjayinī, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 112. Accordingly, as Gopālaka said to Naravāhanadatta: “... I know so much that the lady was lately married to Pālaka’s son; so let the prince be summoned from Ujjayinī, together with the minister, Bharataroha; then we shall get at the truth”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Bharataroha, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
