Mbh.2.52.2194 | And king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, having completed the Rajasuya sacrifice, obtained like the exalted Harishchandra such prosperity that neither Rantideva nor Nabhaga, nor Jauvanaswa, nor Manu, nor king Prithu the son of Vena, nor Bhagiratha, Yayati, nor Nahusha, had obtained its like. |
Mbh.3.25.1199 | Kings Nabhaga and Bhagiratha and others, having subjugated by truth this world bounded by the seas, finally obtained, O child, all the region hereafter. |
Mbh.3.85.4739 | Like king Bhagiratha and the illustrious Rama, dost thou shine among kings even as the Sun himself. |
Mbh.3.87.4789 | Towards that direction also is the sacred Ganga, on whose banks Bhagiratha celebrated many sacrifices with profuse gifts to Brahmanas. |
Mbh.3.87.4800 | There, O Yudhishthira, the sacred Bhagiratha entereth a lake and there also, O king, is that sacred river known by the name of the merit-bestowing Brahmasara, whose banks are inhabited by persons whose sins have been washed away, and whose sight alone produceth merit. |
Mbh.3.92.4945 | For, O son of Pandu, thou art even as king Bhagiratha, or Gaya, or Yayati, or any one, O son of Kunti, that is like them' |
Mbh.3.94.5017 | And, O monarch, as king Nriga and Shivi and Ausinara and Bhagiratha and Vasumanas and Gaya and Puru and Pururavas, by practising ascetic penances and visiting tirthas and touching sacred waters and beholding illustrious ascetics, obtained fame and sanctity and merit and wealth, so wilt thou also obtain prosperity that is great. |
Mbh.3.106.5424 | It will take a long course of time for the ocean to resume its wonted state; the occasion will be furnished by the agnates of the great king Bhagiratha' |
Mbh.3.106.5427 | And how did the agnates of Bhagiratha furnish the same? |
Mbh.3.106.5428 | And how was the ocean refilled by the interference of Bhagiratha? |
Mbh.3.107.5560 | And a son was born to him, known by the name of Bhagiratha beauteous, and devoted to a virtuous life, and truthful, and free from feelings of malice. |
Mbh.3.108.5596 | Lomasa said, Ganga, the goddess saluted by the world, having heard these words of the king, was well pleased, and spake to Bhagiratha the following words: O great king! |
Mbh.3.108.5605 | Then the great king Bhagiratha having heard the same, went to the Kailasa hill, and betaking himself to a severe course of penances, at the expiration of a certain length of time obtained the favour of that worker of blessings Siva. |
Mbh.3.109.5608 | SECTION CIX Lomasa said, The blessed God having heard what Bhagiratha had said, and with a view to doing what was agreeable to the residents of heaven, replied to the king, saying, So let it be. |
Mbh.3.109.5612 | And standing there, he said to Bhagiratha, the most praiseworthy of men, O prince of a powerful arm! |
Mbh.3.109.5624 | Thus assuming very many different aspects, when she fell from the sky, and reached the surface of the earth, she said to Bhagiratha, O great king! |
Mbh.3.109.5628 | Having heard these words, king Bhagiratha directed his course towards the spot where lay those bodies of mighty Sagara's sons, in order that, O most praiseworthy of men, the holy water might flood the same. |
Mbh.3.109.5630 | And the protector of men Bhagiratha accompanied by Ganga reached the sea; and the sea, the abode of Varuna, was quickly filled. |
Mbh.5.144.6475 | And having formed that resolution, she went to the sacred stream called after Bhagiratha. |
Mbh.5.181.8147 | Let that goddess worshipped by Siddhas and Charanas, that blessed daughter of Bhagiratha, in the form of a river, who begat thy wicked self, weep today, O king, beholding thee slain by me and lying miserable on that plain, however undeserving she may be of seeing such a sight! |
Mbh.6.6.375 | There king Bhagiratha, beholding Ganga since called after his own name, resided for many years. |
Mbh.7.58.2680 | SECTION LX Narada said, Even king Bhagiratha, O Srinjaya, we hear, was dead. |
Mbh.7.58.2686 | King Bhagiratha gave enormous presents at his sacrifices. |
Mbh.7.58.2693 | Thus, O Srinjaya, did that goddess, viz, the ocean-going Ganga, select lord Bhagiratha, descendant of Ikshvaku, the performer of sacrifices with profuse gifts to the Brahmanas, as her father. |
Mbh.7.58.2696 | Possessed of great ascetic merit, Bhagiratha gave unto the Brahmanas whatever benefit they desired without obliging them to stir from the place wherever they might entertain those desires. |
Mbh.7.58.2700 | For that object on which the Rishis that subsisted on the rays of the sun used to wait upon the sun and the presiding deity of the sun, for that very object they used to wait upon the lord Bhagiratha, that ornament of the three worlds. |
Mbh.7.91.4166 | Let Yayati and Nahusha, and Dhundhumara, and Bhagiratha, and the other royal sages, all do what is beneficial to thee. |

Mbh.12.29.1439 | King Bhagiratha, in one of the sacrifices he performed, gave away a million of maidens adorned with ornaments of gold. |
Mbh.12.29.1444 | The triple-coursed Ganga had agreed to be the daughter of Bhagiratha of Ikshvaku's race, that monarch ever engaged in the performance of sacrifices with presents in profusion unto the Brahmanas |
Mbh.13.17.1872 | The matted locks on thy head had sucked up the river Ganga when it first fell from heaven although they again gave out the waters at the earnest solicitations of king Bhagiratha. |
Mbh.13.26.3642 | Having, with austere penances, gratified all the deities with the Supreme Lord Vishnu, Bhagiratha brought Ganga down on the Earth. |
Mbh.13.76.6984 | Listen to me, O king, as I recite to thee the names of those righteous monarchs that have attained to regions of great felicity as the reward of those gifts of kine which they made agreeable to the instructions of Vrihaspati, Usinara, Viswagaswa, Nriga, Bhagiratha, the celebrated Mandhatri the son of Yuvanaswa, king Muchukunda, Bhagiratha, Naishadha. |
Mbh.13.103.9179 | In this connection is recited the ancient narrative of the discourse between Bhagiratha and the illustrious Brahman the Grandsire of the Creation. |
Mbh.13.103.9180 | It has been heard by us, O Bharata, that Bhagiratha attained to that region which transcends that of the deities, of kine, and of the Rishis. |
Mbh.13.103.9181 | Beholding this, O monarch, the Grandsire Brahman, addressing Bhagiratha, said, How, O Bhagiratha, hast thou attained to this region that is so difficult of attainment? |
Mbh.13.103.9182 | Neither the deities, nor Gandharvas, nor human beings, O Bhagiratha succeed in coming here without having practised the severest austerities. |
Mbh.13.103.9184 | Bhagiratha said, I used to make gifts of hundreds of thousands of gold coin unto the Brahmanas, observing the Brahmacharya vow all the while, it is not through the merit on those gifts, O learned one, that I have attained to this region. |
Mbh.13.103.9256 | Bhishma continued, King Bhagiratha, who had said so and who deserved every honour was on the conclusion of his speech, honoured by Brahman according to the rites ordained for that purpose. |
