Bharadwaja

Mbh.1.1.157	When I heard that Vasudeva and Bhishma the son of Santanu were the counsellors of the Pandavas and Drona the son of Bharadwaja pronounced blessings on them, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success.
Mbh.1.1.169	When I heard that our disposition of forces, impenetrable by others, and defended by Bharadwaja himself well-armed, had been singly forced and entered by the brave son of Subhadra, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success.
Mbh.1.8.1130	And Swastyatreya, Mahajana, Kushika, Sankhamekhala, Uddalaka, Katha, and Sweta of great renown, Bharadwaja, Kaunakutsya, Arshtishena, Gautama, Pramati, and Pramati's son Ruru, and other inhabitants of the forest, came there.
Mbh.1.63.3164	And the seed of the great Rishi Bharadwaja of severe penances, kept in a pot, began to develop.
Mbh.1.67.3490	And, O monarch, know thou that Drona, the son of Bharadwaja, not born of any woman, sprung from a portion of the celestial Rishi Vrihaspati of grand achievements.
Mbh.1.94.5169	The monarch then performed a great sacrifice and through the grace of Bharadwaja obtained a son named Bhumanyu.
Mbh.1.123.6648	The sons of Kadru Nagas, the son of Vinata, the Gandharvas, the lords of the creation, and the seven great Rishis, viz, Bharadwaja, Kasyapa, Gautama, Viswamitra, Jamadagni, Vasishtha, and the illustrious Atri who illumined the world of old when the Sun was lost, all came there.
Mbh.1.131.7004	Vaisampayana said, There dwelt at the source of the Ganga, a great sage named Bharadwaja, ceaselessly observing the most rigid vows.
Mbh.1.131.7012	Then, O king, Drona sprang from the fluid thus preserved in that vessel by the wise Bharadwaja.
Mbh.1.131.7014	Before now Bharadwaja of great prowess and the foremost of those possessing a knowledge of arms, had communicated to the illustrious Agnivesa, a knowledge of the weapon called Agneya.
Mbh.1.131.7016	There was a king named Prishata who was a great friend of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.1.131.7018	And that bull among Kshatriyas, viz, Drupada, the son of Prishata, used every day to come to the hermitage of Bharadwaja to play with Drona and study in his company.
Mbh.1.131.7020	About this time the illustrious Bharadwaja also ascended to heaven.
Mbh.1.131.7027	The son of Bharadwaja Drona was exceedingly glad at having obtained that child.
Mbh.1.131.7032	Arrived at Mahendra, the son of Bharadwaja possessed of high ascetic merit, beheld the son of Bhrigu, the exterminator of all foes, endued with great patience and with mind under complete control.
Mbh.1.131.7035	And beholding the illustrious son of Jamadagni intent upon retiring into the woods after having given away all his wealth, Drona said, Know me to have sprung from Bharadwaja, but not in any woman's womb!
Mbh.1.131.7039	Thus addressed by Rama, the son of Bharadwaja replied unto that foremost of all smiters, desirous of giving away the whole of his wealth, O thou of multifarious vows, I am a candidate for thy eternal wealth' O thou of ascetic wealth, returned Rama, My gold and whatever other wealth I had, have all been given away unto Brahmanas!
Mbh.1.132.7050	Thus addressed by his friend, the son of Bharadwaja, with a joyous heart, the lord of the Panchalas was ill-able to bear that speech.
Mbh.1.132.7066	Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by Drupada, the mighty son of Bharadwaja became filled with wrath, and reflecting for a moment, made up his mind as to his course of action.
Mbh.1.133.7069	SECTION CXXXIII Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, Arrived at Hastinapura, that best of Brahmanas, the son of Bharadwaja, continued to live privately in the house of Gautama Kripa.
Mbh.1.133.7159	Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by the son of Bharadwaja, Bhishma said unto him, String thy bow, O Brahmana, and make the Kuru princes accomplished in arms.
Mbh.1.134.7168	And the mighty one Bhishma also joyfully gave unto the son of Bharadwaja a house that was tidy and neat and well-filled with paddy and every kind of wealth.
Mbh.1.135.7274	The son of Bharadwaja then addressed the illustrious and mighty car-warrior Arjuna and said, Accept, O thou of mighty arms, this very superior and irresistible weapon called Brahmasira with the methods of hurling and recalling it.
Mbh.1.136.7302	On entering Bharadwaja performed timely worship and caused Brahmanas versed in mantras to celebrate the auspicious rites.
Mbh.1.137.7320	And seeing the place become like a troubled ocean, the intelligent Bharadwaja said unto his dear son, Aswatthaman, Restrain both these mighty warriors so proficient in arms.
Mbh.1.138.7385	And the son of Dhritarashtra stood by Karna, and Bharadwaja and Kripa and Bhishma remained with Partha.
Mbh.1.141.7530	While imparting it to me, my preceptor said, O son of Bharadwaja, never shouldst thou hurl this weapon at any human being, especially at one who is of poor energy.
Mbh.1.168.8588	Of rigid vows and great wisdom, he bore the name Bharadwaja.
Mbh.1.168.8595	And Bharadwaja had a friend named Prishata who was the king of Panchalas.
Mbh.1.168.8597	And that bull amongst Kshatriyas, Prishata's son, going every day to that asylum of Bharadwaja, played and studied with Drona.
Mbh.1.168.8600	Hearing this, the son of Bharadwaja repaired unto Rama who was about to retire into the woods and addressing him, said, O best of Brahmanas, know me to be Drona who hath come to thee to obtain thy wealth'
Mbh.1.168.8607	Then the son of Bharadwaja, endued with great prowess went to king Drupada, and approaching that monarch, that tiger among men, said, Know me for thy friend'
Mbh.1.168.8612	Then Bhishma, taking with him his grandsons, presented them unto the wise son of Bharadwaja as his pupils for instruction, along with various kinds of wealth.
Mbh.1.168.8619	The Brahmana continued, The king of the Panchalas, thus addressed by the wise son of Bharadwaja, told that best of Brahmanas and foremost of all persons conversant with weapons, these words, O high-souled son of Bharadwaja, blest be thou, let it be so, let there be eternal friendship between us as thou desirest'
Mbh.1.169.8650	Gifted with great intelligence, the son of Bharadwaja is now the chief preceptor of the Kurus.
Mbh.1.169.8653	That great bowman, the high-souled son of Bharadwaja, habited as a Brahmana, is destroying the Kshatriya power all over the earth.
Mbh.1.169.8699	The high-souled son of Bharadwaja, regarding destiny to be inevitable, did what would perpetuate his own great deeds
Mbh.1.172.8770	This fiery weapon that I shall hurl at thee, Vrihaspati the revered preceptor of Indra, gave unto Bharadwaja, from whom it was obtained by Agnivesya, and from Agnivesya by my preceptor, that foremost of Brahmanas, Drona, who gave it away to me'
Mbh.1.172.8825	O Arjuna, I have personal knowledge of thy preceptor, the illustrious son of Bharadwaja, celebrated throughout the three worlds for his knowledge of the Vedas and the science of arms.
Mbh.1.207.10214	Drona also of great wisdom the son of Bharadwaja and thy dear friend, embracing thee mentally, enquired of thy happiness.
Mbh.1.217.10613	Those sacred waters were called Agastya, and Saubhadra and Pauloma of great holiness, and Karandhama of great propitiousness yielding the fruits of a horse-sacrifice unto those that bathed there, and Bharadwaja, that great washer of sins.
Mbh.2.11.436	And Agastya of great energy, and Markandeya, of great ascetic power, and Jamadagni and Bharadwaja, and Samvarta, and Chyavana, and exalted Durvasa, and the virtuous Rishyasringa, the illustrious Sanatkumara of great ascetic merit and the preceptor in all matters affecting Yoga; Asita and Devala, and Jaigishavya acquainted with truth; Rishava, Ajitasatru, and Mani of great energy; and the Science of healing with its eight branches, all in their personified forms, O Bharata; the moon with all the stars and the stellar conjunctions; Aditya with all his rays; the winds; the Sacrifices, the Declarations of purpose in sacrifices, the Vital principles, these illustrious and vow-observing beings in their personified forms, and many others too numerous to mention, attend all upon Brahma in that mansion.
Mbh.2.66.2812	The son of Bharadwaja who is the preceptor of us, as also Kripa, is here.
Mbh.3.41.2195	Thou shalt also defeat all the Kshatriyas of fiery energy commanded by the son of Bharadwaja in battle.
Mbh.3.85.4733	Those foremost of Rishis, Valmiki, and Kasyapa, and Atreya, and Kundajathara, and Viswamitra, and Gautama, and Asita, and Devala, and Markandeya, and Galava, and Bharadwaja, and Vasishtha, and the Muni Uddalaka, and Saunaka with his son, and Vyasa, that best of ascetics, and Durvasas, that foremost of Munis, and Javali of great austerities, all these illustrious Rishis endued with wealth of asceticism, are staying in expectation of thee.
Mbh.3.102.5312	And they slew a full score of Brahmanas of subdued souls and leading a Brahmacharya mode of life and living upon air and water alone, in the retreat of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.3.135.6888	Yudhishthira said, How did the mighty sage, Yavakri, son of the ascetic Bharadwaja, acquire profundity in the Vedas?
Mbh.3.135.6892	Lomasa said, Bharadwaja and Raivya were two friends.
Mbh.3.135.6895	And, Bharadwaja, O Bharata's son, had an only son, named Yavakri.
Mbh.3.135.6896	Raivya and his two sons were versed in the Vedas, while Bharadwaja practised asceticism.
Mbh.3.135.6936	Thereat Bharadwaja said, O my son, as thou hast obtained the objects of thy desire, thou wilt be proud.
Mbh.3.137.6995	SECTION CXXXVII Lomasa said, O son of Kunti, Bharadwaja returned to his hermitage after performing the ritual duties of the day, and having collected the sacrificial fuel.
Mbh.3.137.7007	On hearing from the Sudra of this great calamity, Bharadwaja, sorely afflicted with grief, began to lament, embracing his dead son.
Mbh.3.137.7023	Having lamented long Bharadwaja cremated his son and then himself entered into a full-blazing fire
Mbh.3.138.7051	He further prayed that his brother might be absolved from his sin; that his father might have no recollection of his having been slain; that Bharadwaja and Yavakri might both be restored to life; and that the solar revelation might attain celebrity on earth.
Mbh.3.218.11093	The fire which is honoured with the first oblations at sacrifices is his first son called Bharadwaja.
Mbh.4.39.1576	And seeing them so dispirited and marking also the many wonderful portents, that foremost of all wielders of arms, the preceptor Drona, son of Bharadwaja, said, Violent and hot are the winds that below, showering gravels in profusion.
Mbh.4.58.2224	And the son of Bharadwaja then blew his conch whose blare resembled that of a hundred trumpets.
Mbh.4.63.2468	Who else, save Bhishma, the son of Santanu, or Krishna, the son of Devaki, or the mighty son of Bharadwaja, the foremost of preceptors, is able to bear the impetus of Partha in battle?
Mbh.5.49.2838	Having heard these words of Bhishma, the high-souled son of Bharadwaja, having paid due homage unto Dhritarashtra and the assembled kings, spoke unto him these words, Do that, O king, which the best of the Bharatas, Bhishma, hath said.
Mbh.5.55.3086	And Drona took his birth in a water-pot from the regenerate saint Bharadwaja.
Mbh.5.147.6560	What also did the highly-blessed preceptor, the son of Bharadwaja, say?
Mbh.5.151.6770	Vaisampayana continued, After Sahadeva had said this, eloquent Nakula then said these words, He that in years, in knowledge of scriptures, in perseverance, in family and birth, is respectable; he that is endued with modesty, strength, and prosperity; he that is well-versed in all branches of learning; he that studied the science of weapons with the sage Bharadwaja; he, who is irresistible and firmly devoted to truth; he that always challenges Drona and mighty Bhishma; he that belongs to one of the foremost of royal houses; he that is a famous leader of hosts; he that resembles a tree of hundred branches in consequence of sons and grandsons that surround him; that king, who, with his wife, performed, moved by wrath, the austerest of penances for the destruction of Drona; that hero, who is an ornament of assemblies; that bull among monarchs who always cherishes us like a father; that father-in-law of ours, Drupada, should be our generalissimo.
Mbh.5.168.7589	The son of Bharadwaja will achieve fierce feats for thy good!
Mbh.5.168.7594	Indeed, Bharadwaja looketh on him with greater affection than on his own son.
Mbh.6.17.842	Every day the old grandsire of the Kurus, and the son of Bharadwaja, rising from bed in the morning, with concentrated mind, said, Victory to the sons of Pandu, while those chastisers of foes used at the same time yet to fight for thy sake according to the pledge they had given.
Mbh.6.43.2092	Sanjaya continued, Hearing these words, O king, of the wise son of Bharadwaja, and honouring the preceptor, Yudhishthira then proceeded towards the son of Saradwat.
Mbh.6.51.2662	And that mighty bowman, the son of Bharadwaja, endued with great energy, followed him with the Kuntalas, the Dasarnas, and the Magadhas, O king, and with the Vidarbhas, the Melakas, the Karnas, and the Pravaranas also.
Mbh.6.51.2663	And the Gandharas, the Sindhusauviras, the Sivis and the Vasatis with all their combatants also, followed Bhishma, that ornament of battle, and Sakuni, with all his troops protected the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.6.53.2766	And beholding that arrow aimed by Bharadwaja in battle, loud cries of oh and alas arose, O Bharata, among all the combatants.
Mbh.6.53.2771	Thereupon the son of Bharadwaja, smiling the while, cut off into three fragments that dart decked with gold that was coming towards him impetuously.
Mbh.6.55.2960	Thy sire Devavrata then, beholding the Kuru host routed, smilingly addressed the heroic son of Bharadwaja in the battle and said, This mighty and heroic son of Pandu, viz, Dhananjaya, accompanied by Krishna, is dealing with our troops as he alone is competent to deal with them.
Mbh.6.69.3756	Then O Bharata, Satyaki checked the son of Bharadwaja, and thereupon ensued a battle that was fierce in its incidents and awful to behold.
Mbh.6.73.3892	Thinking so, that scorcher of foes, the heroic Vibhatsu, that foremost of car-warriors, showed mercy to the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.6.75.3994	Thereupon the son of Bharadwaja, endued with great prowess, himself restraining his steeds, began to consume the Pandava army like fire consuming a heap of cotton.
Mbh.6.77.4092	Then the son of Bharadwaja, desirous of rescuing the princes, speedily left that part of the field where he was and proceeded to the place where thy sons were.
Mbh.6.77.4108	And that slayer of foes, viz, the valiant son of Bharadwaja, excited with rage, cut off with a broad-headed shaft the bow of Prishata's son who was rushing towards him with impetuosity.
Mbh.6.83.4329	Then sire and son, staying on the same car, began with great might to resist the son of Bharadwaja with a thick shower of arrows.
Mbh.6.83.4330	Then the mighty son of Bharadwaja, excited with wrath, quickly shot at Sankha in that encounter, an arrow resembling a snake of virulent poison.
Mbh.6.83.4334	The son of Bharadwaja then, without losing a moment, checked the mighty host of the Pandavas resisting combatants by hundreds and thousands.
Mbh.6.88.4618	Next to him was the valiant son of Bharadwaja, accompanied by the Pulindas, the Paradas, and the Kshudraka-Malavas.
Mbh.6.95.4998	The mighty-armed son of Bharadwaja also, having said those words unto the Dhartarashtra warriors, stretched his own large bow and pierced Bhima with six and twenty arrows.
Mbh.6.95.5019	Beholding then that Rakshasa of terrible mien coming towards him, the valiant son of Bharadwaja impetuously rushed towards him.
Mbh.6.102.5474	Beholding his son then thus afflicted like the Moon by Rahu, the valiant son of Bharadwaja rushed towards the grandson of Sini.
Mbh.6.103.5480	The son of Pandu is ever dear to the wise son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.6.121.6732	Then the valiant son of Bharadwaja, quickly recovering his senses, forbade the Kuru army, sire, to continue the fight.
Mbh.7.8.296	And the gods, the Pitris, and they that were his friends, all beheld that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Bharadwaja, thus slain.
Mbh.7.13.533	O monarch, was able to look at the angry son of Bharadwaja in that battle.
Mbh.7.13.534	The valiant son of Bharadwaja then, having confound the hostile troops, speedily began to consume the division of Dhrishtadyumna by means of sharp shafts.
Mbh.7.16.737	Then the mighty son of Bharadwaja, putting forth his prowess, cut off with a couple of broad-headed arrows the heads decked with earrings from the trunks of both Singhasena and Vyaghradatta.
Mbh.7.21.989	Having vanquished the Matsyas, the son of Bharadwaja then defeated the Chedis, the Karushas, the Kaikeyas, the Panchalas, the Srinjayas.
Mbh.7.22.1048	Tell me, O Sanjaya, who were those heroes that approached the son of Bharadwaja, beholding him at the head of his forces'
Mbh.7.33.1721	The valiant son of Bharadwaja, however, fearlessly checked all those warriors, as soon as they came near, with a thick shower of arrows.
Mbh.7.36.1854	Sanjaya said, Hear, O king, of the splendid prowess in battle of youthful Abhimanyu while engaged in breaking the car-ranks of the Kauravas, protected by the son of Bharadwaja himself'
Mbh.7.95.4372	Within, however, the twinkling of an eye, the son of Bharadwaja took up another bow and strung it.
Mbh.7.95.4378	The son of Bharadwaja, therefore, mentally applauded the prowess of Satyaki.
Mbh.7.103.4787	Then that great car-warrior viz, the son of Bharadwaja speedily covered the bowless Yudhishthira with many thousands of shafts.
Mbh.7.107.4960	SECTION CIX Dhritarashtra said, Tell me, O Sanjaya, how Yuyudhana rushed against the son of Bharadwaja in battle.
Mbh.7.107.4964	Satyaki pierced that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Bharadwaja, thus advancing against him, with five and twenty small arrows.
Mbh.7.107.4970	Thus struck in that battle by the son of Bharadwaja, Satyaki, O monarch, knew not what to do.
Mbh.7.107.4971	Then, O king, Yuyudhana's face became cheerless, seeing the son of Bharadwaja shoot countless keen arrows.
Mbh.7.107.4986	Together approaching, O tiger among men, that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Bharadwaja, they covered with showers of keen arrows equipped with the feathers of Kankas and peacocks.
Mbh.7.107.4989	And none of them, O lord, could even gaze at the son of Bharadwaja who then resembled the thousand-rayed sun at midday.
Mbh.7.108.5113	The son of Bharadwaja is always eager to seize the king.
Mbh.7.108.5124	I also am regarded to be a match for the intelligent son of Bharadwaja in battle.
Mbh.7.110.5275	Encountering the son of Bharadwaja, Yuyudhana,
Mbh.7.113.5530	Indeed, he pierced the son of Bharadwaja with three shafts, and Duhsasana with nine, and Vikarna with five and twenty, and Chitrasena with seven, and Durmarshana with a dozen, and Vivinsati with eight, and Satyavrata with nine, and Vijaya with ten shafts.
Mbh.7.114.5570	SECTION CXVI Sanjaya said, While the Kuru host was shaken by the grandson of Sini in these places through which he proceeded, the son of Bharadwaja covered him with a dense shower of arrows.
Mbh.7.114.5574	The son of Bharadwaja always on the alert for an opportunity, then sped in that battle many other arrows of Satyaki which resembled the roar of Indra's thunder.
Mbh.7.114.5587	Thereupon, the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, excited with wrath, laid aside that, taking up a huge mace, hurled it at the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.7.114.5589	Then Satyaki, of prowess incapable of being baffled, took up another bow and pierced the heroic son of Bharadwaja with many arrows whetted on stone.
Mbh.7.114.5611	The valiant son of Bharadwaja, beholding the array broken in his absence by the Pandavas and the Panchalas, made no endeavour to follow the grandson of Sini, but employed himself in protecting his broken array.
Mbh.7.119.5802	SECTION CXXI Sanjaya said, Beholding Duhsasana's car staying near his, the son of Bharadwaja, addressing Duhsasana, said these words, Why, O Duhsasana, are all these cars flying away?
Mbh.7.119.5847	The illustrious Viraketu, the son of the ruler of the Panchalas, rushed against the son of Bharadwaja who thus engaged in vanquishing the Pandava ranks.
Mbh.7.119.5853	Then that slayer of hostile heroes the son of Bharadwaja, aimed a fierce shaft endued with the effulgence of the sun or the fire, at the car of Viraketu.
Mbh.7.119.5857	Then Chitraketu, and Sudhanwan, and Chitravarman, O Bharata, and Chitraratha also, all afflicted with grief on account of their slain brother, together rushed against the son of Bharadwaja, desirous of battling with him, and shooting shafts at him like the clouds pouring at the end of summer.
Mbh.7.119.5863	Then the illustrious son of Bharadwaja, by means of his sharp arrows and broad-headed shafts, cut off their heads, like a person plucking flowers from a tree.
Mbh.7.119.5865	Having slain them in battle, O king, the valiant son of Bharadwaja shook his invincible bow, the back of whose staff was decked with gold.
Mbh.7.119.5872	Deeply pierced by that mighty warrior, the illustrious son Of Bharadwaja sat down on the terrace of his car and fell into a swoon.
Mbh.7.119.5874	That mighty car-warrior then, speedily jumping down from his own car, Mounted that of Bharadwaja, O sire, in no time, his eyes red in wrath and impelled by the desire of cutting Drona's head from off his trunk.
Mbh.7.122.5984	The valiant son of Bharadwaja, that great bowman endued with mighty strength, that hero born in an excellent pot, engaged in doing what was agreeable to thee, O king, and striking down, O Bharata, many foremost of warriors with his whetted arrows, equipped with beautiful wings, seemed to sport in that battle.
Mbh.7.122.6013	The prince of the Chedis then, quickly jumping down from his car, took up a mace, and hurled it at the son of Bharadwaja like an angry snake.
Mbh.7.122.6014	Beholding that heavy mace, endued with the strength of adamant and decked with gold, coursing towards him like Death, the son of Bharadwaja cut it off with many thousands of whetted arrows.
Mbh.7.122.6019	The valiant son of Bharadwaja then, in that battle, sped for his destruction a keen shaft at Dhrishtaketu who was battling for the destruction of Bharadwaja himself.
Mbh.7.122.6035	Then, O king, the Chedis, the Srinjayas, the Kasis, and the Kosalas, rushed cheerfully against the son of Bharadwaja from desire of battle.
Mbh.7.122.6040	Then the son of Bharadwaja, by means of his shafts, despatched those brave warriors struggling vigorously in battle, especially those forest ones among the Chedis, into the presence of the King of the dead.
Mbh.7.143.7435	With sounds of drums and other instruments he gladdened the warriors of his own army, and proceeded against the son of Bharadwaja from desire of battle.
Mbh.7.143.7437	Desirous of slaying him, those mighty car-warriors after the fall of Jayadratha, fought with the son of Bharadwaja, exerting themselves to their utmost.
Mbh.7.152.7957	Then king Sivi, of great prowess, filled with rage, proceeded against that mighty car-warrior, viz, the heroic son of Bharadwaja, while the latter was thus employed in grinding the hostile combatants.
Mbh.7.154.8257	Seeing his weapon baffled, the son of Bharadwaja, filled with great wrath and desirous of slaying the son of Pandu, sped at Yudhishthira diverse celestial weapons such as the Varuna, the Yamya, the Agneya, the Tvashtra, and the Savitra.
Mbh.7.161.8742	I, therefore, think that we should, with our whole soul, protect the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.7.184.10109	That mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Bharadwaja, then vanquished all Matsyas.
Mbh.7.184.10117	Then that grinder of foes, viz, the son of Bharadwaja, with a couple of well-tempered and broad-headed shafts, despatched both Drupada and Virata unto the abode of Yama.
Mbh.7.185.10175	And Radha's son engaged himself with Vrikodara, and Arjuna with the son of Bharadwaja, all the troops, from every side, looked on that terrible encounter.
Mbh.7.186.10227	When Drona failed to gain any ascendency over the son of Pandu, the son of Bharadwaja, that warrior acquainted with the course of all weapons, invoked into existence the Aindra, the Pasupata, the Tvashtra, the Vayavya, and the Yamya weapons.
Mbh.7.188.10366	Once more filled with rage the valiant son of Bharadwaja slaughtering all the Somakas, seemed to be invested with great splendour.
Mbh.7.188.10371	Once more filled with rage, the valiant son of Bharadwaja cut off, with a broad-headed arrow, the head of Vasudana from his trunk.
Mbh.7.188.10373	Beholding Drona stationed on the field for the extermination of the Kshatriya race, the Rishis Viswamitra, and Jamadagni, and Bharadwaja, and Gautama, and Vasishtha, and Kasyapa, and Atri, and the Srikatas, the Prisnis, Garga, the Valkhilyas, the Marichis, the descendants of Bhrigu and Angiras, and diverse other sages of subtle forms quickly came thither, with the Bearer of sacrificial libations at their head, and, desirous of taking Drona unto the region of Brahman, addressed Drona, that ornament of battle, and said, Thou art fighting unrighteously.
Mbh.7.189.10418	Seeing that arrow aimed at him, the valiant son of Bharadwaja thought that the last hour of his body had come.
Mbh.7.189.10453	The form, O king, of Dhrishtadyumna at that time, when he sought to slay the son of Bharadwaja, resembled the form of Vishnu himself in days of yore when at the point of slaying Hiranyakasipu.
Mbh.7.190.10485	He is endeavouring to the utmost of his might, to slay the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.7.190.10488	Thus ordered by Yudhishthira, the mighty car-warriors of the Srinjayas all rushed with great vigour to slay the son of Bharadwaja.
Mbh.7.190.10538	The whole welkin was ablaze and seemed to be one vast expanse of equal light when the sun-like Bharadwaja, of solar effulgence, disappeared.
