Mbh.1.1.39 From these are descended the family of the Kurus, of the Yadus, and of Bharata; the family of Yayati and of Ikshwaku; also of all the Rajarshis.
Mbh.1.1.44 Some read the Bharata beginning with the initial mantra invocation, others with the story of Astika, others with Uparichara, while some Brahmanas study the whole.
Mbh.1.1.64 be thou the writer of the Bharata which I have formed in my imagination, and which I am about to repeat
Mbh.1.1.73 As the sun dispelleth the darkness, so doth the Bharata by its discourses on religion, profit, pleasure and final release, dispel the ignorance of men.
Mbh.1.1.77 The tree of the Bharata, inexhaustible to mankind as the clouds, shall be as a source of livelihood to all distinguished poets
Mbh.1.1.80 It was not till after these were born, grown up, and departed on the supreme journey, that the great Rishi Vyasa published the Bharata in this region of mankind; when being solicited by Janamejaya and thousands of Brahmanas, he instructed his disciple Vaisampayana, who was seated near him; and he, sitting together with the Sadasyas, recited the Bharata, during the intervals of the ceremonies of the sacrifice, being repeatedly urged to proceed.
Mbh.1.1.83 Vyasa executed the compilation of the Bharata, exclusive of the episodes originally in twenty-four thousand verses; and so much only is called by the learned as the Bharata.
Mbh.1.1.206 Suhotra; Rantideva, and Kakshivanta, great in glory; Valhika, Damana, Saryati, Ajita, and Nala; Viswamitra the destroyer of foes; Amvarisha, great in strength; Marutta, Manu, Ikshaku, Gaya, and Bharata; Rama the son of Dasaratha; Sasavindu, and Bhagiratha; Kritavirya, the greatly fortunate, and Janamejaya too; and Yayati of good deeds who performed sacrifices, being assisted therein by the celestials themselves, and by whose sacrificial altars and stakes this earth with her habited and uninhabited regions hath been marked all over.

Mbh.1.1.244 He that readeth this holy chapter of the moon, readeth the whole of the Bharata, I ween.
Mbh.1.1.246 In former days, having placed the four Vedas on one side and the Bharata on the other, these were weighed in the balance by the celestials assembled for that purpose.
Mbh.1.1.247 And as the latter weighed heavier than the four Vedas with their mysteries, from that period it hath been called in the world Mahabharata the great Bharata.
Mbh.1.2.284 O Saunaka, this best of narrations called Bharata which has begun to be repeated at thy sacrifice, was formerly repeated at the sacrifice of Janamejaya by an intelligent disciple of Vyasa.

Mbh.1.62.3009 The history of the exalted birth of the Bharata princes is called the Mahabharata.
Mbh.1.62.3011 And as this history of the Bharata race is so wonderful, that, when recited, it assuredly purifieth mortals from all sins.

Mbh.1.62.3022 O monarch, he that giveth a copy of the Bharata to one that asketh for it doth indeed make a present of the whole earth with her belt of seas.
Mbh.1.62.3025 O bull amongst the Bharata monarchs, whatever is spoken about virtue, wealth, pleasure, and salvation may be seen elsewhere; but whatever is not contained in this is not to be found anywhere
Mbh.1.63.3146 And the compilation of the Bharata was published by him through them separately.
Mbh.1.64.3202 And, O bull of the Bharata race, in the same way, other creatures also, even those born in the race of birds went in unto their wives during the season alone.
Mbh.1.64.3209 And thus, O bull of the Bharata race, the earth, to the very coasts of the ocean, became filled with men that were all long-lived.
Mbh.1.64.3221 And, O bull of the Bharata race, both kine and women gave birth to their offspring at the proper time.
Mbh.1.64.3224 And, O bull of the Bharata race, when such was the blessed state of the terrestrial world, the Asuras, O lord of men, began to be born in kingly lines.
Mbh.1.64.3238 And the Earth, desirous of protection, then represented everything to him, in the presence, O Bharata, of all the Regents of the worlds.
Mbh.1.64.3240 And, O Bharata, Creator as he is of the universe, why should he not know fully what is in the minds of his creatures including the very gods and the Asuras?
Mbh.1.65.3255 And, O bull in the Bharata race, the Danavas, Rakshasas and Gandharvas and Snakes, could not slay the incarnate celestials even in their infancy, so strong they were'

Mbh.18.2.82 Resolved to return, O Bharata, he retraced his steps.
Mbh.18.2.89 Do thou remain here, O Bharata, for even a short while.
Mbh.18.3.130 Then a breeze, delicious and fraught with pleasant perfumes, perfectly pure and delightfully cool, O Bharata, began to blow on that spot in consequence of the presence of the gods.
Mbh.18.3.164 There where the royal sage Mandhatri is, there where king Bhagiratha is, there where Dushmantas son Bharata is, there wilt thou sport in bliss.

Mbh.18.5.286 Hence it is called Bharata.
Mbh.18.5.297 The puissant Island-born Krishna, who will not have to come back, and who is Emancipation incarnate, made an abstract of the Bharata, moved by the desire of aiding the cause of righteousness.

Mbh.18.5.322 As the sacred Ocean, as the Himavat mountain, are both regarded as mines of precious gems, even so is this Bharata regarded as a mine of precious gems.
