Why lord krishna said O descendent of Bharat to Arjun?

Question

I have some confusion in chapter 2 verse 18

antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śharīriṇaḥ

anāśhino ’prameyasya tasmād yudhyasva bhārata

Only the material body is perishable; the embodied soul within is indestructible, immeasurable, and eternal. Therefore, fight, O descendent of Bharat.

Im not getting the meaning of O descendent of Bharat .

Why lord krishna said O descendent of Bharat to Arjun ?

Arjuna was born in lineage of Puru, Bharata, Hasti, Kuru, Pandu etc. thats why he is referred as decedent of of them..similarly, Krisha was born in lineage of Yadu, Madhu, Vrishin, Shura, Vasudeva etc. thats why he is referred as decedent of of them... — YDS, Sep 09 '21 at 13:33

You may want to add reference of the picture you have added here. Added link is not useful as it redirects to same picture from some quora link. And Quora is not authentic source. – TheLittleNaruto Sep 21 '21 at 18:45
