Mbh.1.78.4369	And, O bull of Bharata's race, the celestials then learnt that science from Kacha and considered their object already achieved.

Mbh.1.100.5607	And O bull of Bharata's race, the prince soon gratified by his behaviour his father and the other members of the Paurava race: in fact, all the subjects of the kingdom.

Mbh.1.100.5649	O thou of Bharata's race, thou art a hero of excitable temper, who is always engaged in the exercise of arms.
Mbh.1.100.5655	O bull of Bharata's race, when the prince questioned the minister, the latter told him about the boon that was demanded by the chief of the fishermen in respect of his daughter Gandhavati.

Mbh.1.114.6212	A little while after, O bull of Bharata's race, Pandu who had achieved a victory over sloth and lethargy, accompanied by his two wives, Kunti and Madri, retired into the woods.
Mbh.1.119.6397	Hearing these words of their lord who had set his heart on a life of asceticism in the woods, both Kunti and Madri addressed him in these proper words, O bull of Bharata's race, there are many other modes of life which thou canst adopt and in which thou canst undergo the severest penances along with us, thy wedded wives, in which for the salvation of thy body freedom from re-birth, thou mayest obtain heaven.
Mbh.1.120.6422	And, O bull of Bharata's race, having acquired after a long time great ascetic merit coupled with complete singleness, Pandu became even like a Brahmarshi though he was a Kshatriya by birth.
Mbh.1.120.6435	Therefore, come not with us, O bull of Bharata's race'
Mbh.1.131.7015	O foremost one of Bharata's race, the Rishi Agnivesa sprung from fire now communicated the knowledge of that great weapon to Drona the son of his preceptor.
Mbh.1.134.7244	But, O bull of Bharata's race, Drona in an instant, addressing the Kuru prince standing with bow in hand, said, Behold, O prince, that bird on top of the tree'
Mbh.1.135.7267	Some time after, O bull of Bharata's race, Drona, accompanied by all of his pupils, went to the bank of the Ganga to bathe in that sacred stream.

Mbh.1.136.7304	And then having girded up their loins, those mighty warriors, those foremost ones of Bharata's race the princes entered, furnished with finger-protectors gauntlet, and bows, and quivers.
Mbh.1.143.7724	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words, the illustrious Kunti was deeply grieved, and with her children, O bull of Bharata's race, stepped into the boat and went over the Ganges.
Mbh.1.146.7810	And, O bull of Bharata's race, Duryodhana, then, summoning his counsellor, Purochana in private, took hold of his right hand and said, O Purochana, this world, so full of wealth, is mine.
Mbh.1.148.7870	Those foremost of men then went to the abodes of the officials of the town, and then of the Sutas and the Vaisyas and then to those of even the Sudras, O bull of Bharata's race, thus adored by the citizens, the Pandavas at last went with Purochana going before them, to the palace that had been built for them, Purochana then began to place before them food and drink and beds and carpets, all of the first and most agreeable order.
Mbh.1.153.8015	Towards the evening, O bull of Bharata's race, Bhima bearing his brothers and mother on his back reached a terrible forest where fruits and roots and water were scarce and which resounded with the terrible cries of birds and beasts.
Mbh.1.153.8024	Setting down there his brothers and mother, O bull of Bharata's race; he said unto them, Rest you here, while I go in quest of water.
Mbh.1.153.8028	And, O bull of Bharata's race, he soon came upon a lake and bathed and slaked his thirst.
Mbh.1.154.8078	Thus addressed by Hidimva in those woods, Hidimva, the female cannibal, at the command of her brother, went, O bull of Bharata's race, to the spot where the Pandavas were.
Mbh.1.158.8281	Vyasa then said, Ye bulls of Bharata's race, I knew beforehand of this affliction of yours consisting in your deceitful exile by the son of Dhritarashtra.
Mbh.1.159.8310	In this way, O bull of Bharata's race, the illustrious Pandavas lived there for some time.
Mbh.1.171.8733	Ye princes of Bharata's line, that damsel of celestial beauty hath been born in the line of Drupada.
Mbh.1.172.8814	That the obligation, however, may not all be on one side, I will take from thee, O Vibhatsu, O bull in Bharata's race, thy excellent and eternal weapon of fire'

Mbh.1.176.9026	The Gandharva continued, Then, O bull in Bharata's race, Nandini, alarmed at the sight of Viswamitra's troops and terrified by Viswamitra himself, approached the Rishi still closer, and said, O illustrious one, why art thou so indifferent to my poor self afflicted with the stripes of the cruel troops of Viswamitra and crying so piteously as if I were masterless'
Mbh.1.176.9045	But, O bull in Bharata's race, the troops of Vasishtha, though excited with wrath, took not the life of any of Viswamitra's troops.
Mbh.1.205.10118	And let, O bull of Bharata's race, proper presents be given unto all the sons of Drupada.
Mbh.1.205.10123	This, O monarch of Bharata's race, is what I think should be thy behaviour towards the Pandavas who are to thee even as thy own sons'
Mbh.1.206.10159	Without doubt, O king of Bharata's race, they are both, in virtue and truthfulness, not inferior to Rama, the son of Dasaratha, and Gaya.
Mbh.1.207.10197	O thou of Bharata's race, bring also Krishna of celestial beauty along with them.
Mbh.1.213.10463	Therefore, from affection I tell you, ye foremost ones of Bharata's line, that if you desire to do anything agreeable to me, make some such arrangements that you may not quarrel with one another for the sake of Draupadi'
Mbh.1.215.10521	And, O thou of Bharata's race, that bull among the Bharatas saw, as he journeyed, many delightful and picturesque forests, lakes, rivers, seas, provinces, and waters.

Mbh.1.223.10886	And, O bull in Bharata's race, Yudhishthira paid homage unto virtue, pleasure, and profit, in judicious proportion, as if each were a friend dear unto him as his own self.
Mbh.1.224.11028	And so, O bull of Bharata's race, the other creatures dwelling in that forest, by various appliances and efforts, soon extinguished the fire.
Mbh.1.226.11098	And, O bull of Bharata's race, surrounding that forest and catching it from all sides with a roar like that of the clouds, Agni made every creature within it tremble.

Mbh.3.115.5934	Then, O Bharata's son, the blessed and the revered god Vishhnu held a consultation with Indra, with a view to destroying Kartavirya's son.
Mbh.3.115.5982	O chieftain of Bharata's race, to him, rivalling in lustre the author of light the sun, came spontaneously and without instruction the knowledge of the entire military art and of the fourfold missile arms
Mbh.3.116.6010	And, O Bharata's son, Jamadagni, whose penances were the most rigid, granted all those desires of his son.

Mbh.3.183.9155	Saying amen, O foremost scion of Bharata's race, and saluting the great Muni, all those princes joyously returned to their country
Mbh.3.186.9260	And the fish too, O conqueror of thy enemies and foremost scion of Bharata's race, knowing his mind, appeared there with horns on his head.
Mbh.3.186.9267	And, O bull of Bharata's race, when the world was thus flooded, none but Manu, the seven Rishis and the fish could be seen.
Mbh.3.186.9268	And, O king, the fish diligently dragged the boat through the flood for many a long year and then, O descendant of Kuru and ornament of Bharata's race, it towed the vessel towards the highest peak of the Himavat.

Mbh.3.255.12542	Hearing such agreeable words from his friends, that monarch, O bull of the Bharata's race, well-pleased, entered the city and finally his own abode.
Mbh.3.270.13148	Then that foremost king of Bharata's race eyed with pity that perpetrator of wicked deeds, and believing that he had lost his senses, said, Mayst thy heart grow in virtue!

Mbh.5.82.3946	The mighty-armed Kesava then spoke, comforting her in these words, Soon wilt thou, O Krishna, behold the ladies of Bharata's race weep as thou dost.
Mbh.5.95.4452	If, O Bharata, thou art willing, thou mayest be able to allay that danger even yet, for, O bull of Bharata's race, peace, I think, is not difficult of acquisition.
Mbh.5.95.4464	If with Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and Vivingsati, and Aswatthaman, Vikarna, and Somadatta, and Vahlika and the chief of the Sindhus, and the ruler of the Kalingas, and Sudakshina, the king of the Kamvojas, there were Yudhishthira, and Bhimasena and Savyasachin, and the twins, and if Satyaki of mighty energy, and Yuyutsu, that mighty car warrior, are stationed, who is there, O bull of Bharata's race, of such misdirected intelligence that would fight these?

Mbh.5.96.4600	If thou regardest this as thy good, viz, that there should be no disunion in thy family, then make peace, O foremost of Bharata's race, and do not set thy heart upon battle.
Mbh.5.124.5483	O bull of Bharata's race, the disposition that thou art repeatedly manifesting is of that perverse kind.
Mbh.5.124.5490	Be obedient, O sire, to the commands of thy father, and also of thy mother, O bull of Bharata's race.

Mbh.5.147.6614	And he begot three sons in all, O best of Bharata's race.
Mbh.5.159.7060	Hearing these words of Arjuna, Rukmi taking away with him his army vast as the sea, repaired then, O bull of Bharata's race, to Duryodhana.
Mbh.5.161.7094	O bull of Bharata's race, this sloka sung of old by Prahlada when his kingdom had been wrested from him by the gods, hath been heard by us, Ye gods, that person whose standard of righteousness is always up, but whose sins are always concealed is said to adopt the behaviour of the cat in the story'
Mbh.5.161.7115	Saying, So be it' the mice then, O bull of Bharata's race, made over all their old and young ones to that cat.
Mbh.5.163.7383	Having heard then, O best of Bharata's race, those words of Duryodhana, Yudhishthira, that bull of the Bharata race, with eyes exceedingly red in anger and himself sighing like a snake of virulent poison, licking the corners of his mouth with his tongue, as if swelling with wrath, and casting his eyes on Janardana and his own brothers, said unto Uluka these words that were fraught with both mildness and vigour.
Mbh.5.164.7475	And having listened to the words of the gambler's son, Duryodhana, that bull of Bharata's race, ordered Dussasana and Karna and Sakuni, O Bharata, and their own troops and the troops of the allies, and all the assembled kings, to be arrayed in divisions and be ready for battle before sunrise next morrow.
Mbh.5.168.7576	There is, however, O bull of Bharata's race, one great defect in him, in consequence of which, O best of kings, I do not regard him either as a Ratha or a Maharatha.
Mbh.5.168.7582	Resembling the fire at the end of the Yuga as regards his fury, possessed of leonine neck, and endued with great lustre, Aswatthaman will extinguish the embers of this battle between the Bharata's.
Mbh.5.170.7701	All of them, on the occasion of the campaign of universal conquest, vanquished great kings, O bull of Bharata's race!
Mbh.5.173.7799	I shall certainly smite all other kings, O bull of Bharata's race, whom I may encounter in battle.
Mbh.5.174.7808	At that time I heard, O thou of mighty arms, that three maidens, all unrivalled for beauty, daughters of the ruler of Kasi, by name Amva, Amvika, and Amvalika would select husbands for themselves, and that all the kings of the earth, O bull of the Bharata's race, had been invited.
Mbh.5.174.7811	Then, O bull of Bharata's race, challenging to battle all those kings who were ready for the encounter, I took up those maidens on my car and repeatedly said unto all the kings assembled there these words, Bhishma, the son of Santanu, is carrying away by force these maidens.
Mbh.5.174.7819	Laughingly, with easiness I cut down the variegated standards, decked with gold, of the advancing kings, with blazing shafts, O bull of Bharata's race!
Mbh.5.175.7830	Knowing this, O bull of Bharata's race, and deliberating in thy mind, it behoveth thee, O mighty-armed one, to accomplish what is proper.
Mbh.5.178.7974	Vanquishing all the monarchs, the pure-souled prince Bhishma of Bharata's race then reached Hastinapura, and representing everything unto Satyavati, ordered his brother Vichitravirya's marriage to take place with the girls he had brought.
Mbh.5.179.8007	Bhishma continued, In conversation such as this, that day passed and the night also, O best of Bharata's race, with its delicious breeze which was neither cold nor hot.
Mbh.5.181.8158	And thus equipped, I set out, O best of Bharata's race!
Mbh.5.181.8163	I issued out of the city named after the elephant, and proceeded to Kurukshetra, which, O bull of Bharata's race, was to be the field of battle!
Mbh.5.182.8229	Saying this I shot at him, O bull of Bharata's race, a sharp broad-headed arrow, And cutting off one of the horns of his bow with it.
Mbh.5.184.8288	SECTION CLXXXIV Bhishma said, The next day, O bull of Bharata's race, frightful again was the combat that wok place between me and Rama when I encountered him once more.
Mbh.5.185.8320	Then, O bull of Bharata's race, thinking I was dead, Rama repeatedly roared aloud like the clouds and rejoiced exceedingly!
Mbh.5.186.8365	Thou, O bull of Bharata's race, wilt be the conqueror of Rama in combat!
Mbh.5.188.8417	Even that, O best of Bharata's race, is highly beneficial to the world'
Mbh.5.195.8677	SECTION CXCV Bhishma said, Hearing, O bull of Bharata's race, those words of Sikhandini, afflicted by destiny, that Yaksha, said after reflecting in his mind, these words, Indeed, it was ordained to be so, and, O Kaurava, it was ordained for my grief'
Mbh.5.195.8708	Having, in the midst of his counsellors, been made by that priest to hear those words fraught with censure and uttered by the ruler of the Dasarnakas, king Drupada then, O chief of Bharata's race, assuming a mild behaviour from motives of friendship, said, The reply to these words of my brother that thou hast said unto me, O Brahmana, will be carried to that monarch by my envoy'
Mbh.5.195.8762	And it was the eldest daughter of the ruler of Kasi, celebrated by the name of Amva, who was, O bull of Bharata's race, born in Drupada's line as Sikhandin.
Mbh.6.1.30	Then the Kurus, the Pandavas, and the Somakas made certain covenants, and settled the rules, O bull of Bharata's race, regarding the different kinds of combat.
Mbh.6.2.60	As regards myself, O bull of Bharata's race, the fame of these Kurus, as also of all the Pandavas, I will spread.
Mbh.6.4.252	And, soon, O bull of Bharata's race, the king asked Sanjaya of soul worthy of praise, saying, O Sanjaya, these kings, these lords of earth, so brave and taking delight in battle, are for smiting one another with weapons of diverse kinds, being prepared to lay down their very lives for the sake of earth.
Mbh.6.4.261	I bow to thee, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.6.366	The last Varsha in the extreme north and Bharata's Varsha in the extreme south are both, O king, of the form of a bow.
Mbh.6.7.428	The period of human life there, O bull of the Bharata's race, is ten thousand years.
Mbh.6.7.442	On the summit of Malyavat is always seen, O bull of Bharata's race, the fire called Samvataka which blazeth forth at the end of the Yuga for the destruction of the universe.
Mbh.6.8.476	He is the Lord of all creatures, and is possessed, O bull of Bharata's race, of every kind of prosperity.
Mbh.6.9.491	I will now will thee, O thou of Bharata's race, of the tract of land known by Bharata's name.
Mbh.6.9.492	This land is the beloved one of Indra, and, O thou of Bharata's race, this land, O monarch, that is called after Bharata, is also the beloved land of Manu, the son of Vivaswat, of Prithu, of Vainya, of the high-souled Ikshwaku, of Yayati, of Amvarisha, of Mandhatri, of Nahusha, of Muchukunda, of Sivi the son of Usinara, of Rishava, of Ila, of king Nriga, of Kusika, O invincible one, of the high-souled Gadhi, of Somaka, O irrepressible one, and of Dilipa, and also, O monarch, of many other mighty Kshatriyas.
Mbh.6.9.504	There are other kingdoms, O bull of Bharata's race, in the south.
Mbh.6.10.520	Sanjaya said, O bull of Bharata's race, four Yugas set in Bharata's Varsha, viz, Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali.
Mbh.6.10.526	In Kali, however, O bull of Bharata's race, there is no fixed limit of life's measure, in so much that men die while in the womb, as also soon after birth.
Mbh.6.11.555	I have now, O bull of Bharata's race, given thee duly a brief description of Sakadwipa.
Mbh.6.13.693	I bow to thee, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.14.716	He who, scattering like Sakra himself and inexhaustible shower of arrows, slew in battle a hundred millions of warriors in ten days, that scion of Bharata's race, now lieth, although he deserveth it not, on the bare ground, in the field of battle, deprived of life, a mighty tree uprooted by the winds, as a result of my evil counsels!
Mbh.6.14.727	In that irresistible bull of Bharata's race, were truth, and intelligence, and policy, to an immeasurable extent.
Mbh.6.14.752	Without doubt, Drupada's son Sikhandin, therefore who hath slain in battle that bull of Bharata's race, that hero acquainted with the highest weapons, that brave and accomplished warrior conversant with every weapon, is superior in energy, prowess, and might to the invincible Vargava endued with the highest energy.
Mbh.6.17.851	Thus addressed, O bull of Bharata's race, by Bhishma, the kings, looking beautiful in their excellent cars, proceeded to the heads of their respective divisions.
Mbh.6.17.852	Only Vikartana's son Karna, with his friends and relatives, O bull of Bharata's race, laid aside his weapons in battle for the sake of Bhishma.
Mbh.6.17.858	Those mighty bowmen of royal birth, O bull of Bharata's race, that were on thy side, all took up their positions, O king, as Santanu's son ordered.
Mbh.6.19.917	And behind him was Sikhandin who in his turn was protected by Arjuna, and who, O bull of Bharata's race, advanced with concentrated attention for the destruction of Bhishma.
Mbh.6.19.938	And large meteors began to fall east-wards, O bull of Bharata's race, and striking against the rising Sun, broke in fragments with loud noise.
Mbh.6.19.939	When the troops stood arrayed, O bull of Bharata's race, the Sun rose divested of splendour, and the Earth trembled with a loud sound, and cracked in many places, O chief of the Bharatas, with loud noise.
Mbh.6.19.943	It was thus that those tigers among men, the sons of Pandu, ever taking delight in battle, stood having disposed their troops in counter-array against the army of thy son, and sucking as it were, the marrow, O bull of Bharata's race, of our warriors, and casting their eyes on Bhimasena stationed at their head, mace in hand
Mbh.6.22.997	SECTION XXII Sanjaya said, Then, O bull of Bharata's race, king Yudhishthira, disposing his own troops in counter array against the divisions of Bhishma, urged them on, saying, The Pandavas have now disposed their forces in counter array agreeably to what is laid down in the scriptures.
Mbh.6.22.1011	Unto that invincible prince Gudakesa staying in the midst of his troops, Janardana, O chief of Bharata's race, said, He, who scorching us with his wrath, stayeth in the midst of his forces, he, who will attack our troops like a lion, he, who performed three hundred horse-sacrifices, that banner of Kuru's race, that Bhishma, stayeth yonder!
Mbh.6.22.1013	O foremost of men, slaying yon troops, seek battle with yonder bull of Bharata's race
Mbh.6.24.1064	And, O bull of Bharata's race, fierce was the collision that took place when the serried ranks arrayed for battle encountered each other.
Mbh.6.24.1066	O bull of Bharata's race, dreadful was the collision caused by the encounter of the combatants of both armies, filled with joy and staring at one another, and the elephants uttering obstreperous grunts
Mbh.6.27.1295	Therefore, restraining thy senses first, O bull of Bharata's race, cast off this wicked thing, for it destroyeth knowledge derived from instruction and meditation
Mbh.6.31.1464	I am also the strength of all that are endued with strength, myself freed from desire and thirst, and, O bull of Bharata's race, am the desire, consistent with duty, in all creatures
Mbh.6.32.1515	I will tell thee the times, O bull of Bharata's race, in which devotees departing from this life go, never to return, or to return.
Mbh.6.37.1760	Whatever entity, immobile or mobile, cometh into existence, know that, O bull of Bharata's race, to be from the connection of Kshetra and Kshetrajna matter and spirit.
Mbh.6.38.1785	Avarice, activity, performance of works, want of tranquillity, desire, these, O bull of Bharata's race, are born when passion is developed.
Mbh.6.42.1936	Hear now from me, O bull of Bharata's race, of the three kinds of happiness.
Mbh.6.44.2178	And, O bull of Bharata's race, I beheld the lightness of hand of the disciples of Drona in particular, who, shooting innumerable arrows, O king, always succeeded in hitting the mark
Mbh.6.45.2196	And, O bull of Bharata's race, the sound of bowstrings stretched by hands cased in fences, the heavy tread of infantry, the furious neigh of chargers, the falling of sticks and iron hooks on the beads of elephants, the clash of weapons, the jingle of bells of elephants rushing against one another, and the clatter of cars resembling the roar of clouds, mingled together, produced a loud uproar making one's hair stand on end.
Mbh.6.46.2341	And, O bull of Bharata's race, the mighty-armed Bhishma, O king, with his standard which was made of silver and graced with the device of the palmyra with five stars, setting upon his great car, shone like the lunar orb under the peak of Meru
Mbh.6.47.2344	O bull of Bharata's race, that great car-warrior penetrated the Pandava host.
Mbh.6.47.2347	And, O bull of Bharata's race, Bhishma seemed to dance on his car as it coursed along its track.
Mbh.6.47.2372	And beholding, O bull of Bharata's race, that standard failing in consequence of the shafts of Subhadra's son, the proud Bhima set up a loud shout for cheering the son of Subhadra.
Mbh.6.48.2450	And car-warriors and car-wheels and others that were on cars, and the cars themselves, and standards both small and costly, O king, and large bodies of horses, and crowds of cars, and crowds of men, O Bharata's race, were destroyed by Sweta.
Mbh.6.48.2502	All thy troops then, O bull of Bharata's race, set up loud shouts of joy.
Mbh.6.49.2582	Then Salya, mace in hand, alighting from his large car, slew, O bull of Bharata's race, the four steeds of Sankha.
Mbh.6.49.2596	And then beholding Bhishma, O bull of Bharata's race, proudly standing in battle, the Parthas withdrew their forces for nightly rest
Mbh.6.50.2597	SECTION L Sanjaya said, When the troops, O bull of Bharata's race, were withdrawn on the first day, and when Duryodhana was filled with delight upon beholding Bhishma excited with wrath in battle, king Yudhisthira the just, speedily repaired unto Janardana, accompanied by all his brothers and all the kings on his side.
Mbh.6.50.2648	And the ruler of the Dasarnas, and the Prayagas, with the Daserakas, and the Anupakas, and the Kiratas were placed in its neck, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.52.2704	Thereupon he, the diadem-decked, of immeasurable soul, O bull of Bharata's race, in return pierced Bhishma with five and twenty, and Kripa with nine arrows, and Drona with sixty, O tiger among men, and Vikarna with three arrows; and Artayani with three arrows, and the king Duryodhana also with five.
Mbh.6.52.2737	And nobody, O bull of Bharata's race, could detect any latches in either of them.
Mbh.6.54.2838	And jumping down, O Bharata, from that failing elephant, the prince of Bharata's race, of undepressed soul, stood on the ground, sword in hand and accoutred in mail as before.
Mbh.6.54.2864	Then, O bull of Bharata's race, beholding Srutayush at the head of Kalinga troops, Bhimasena rushed at him.
Mbh.6.54.2919	And slaying all the Kalingas, he stayed in the midst of the troops, and none, O bull of Bharata's race, of thy side ventured to withstand him.
Mbh.6.54.2920	And worshipped by the Panchalas and the Matsyas, O bull of Bharata's race, he embraced Dhrishtadyumna and then approached Satyaki.
Mbh.6.55.2930	And, O bull of Bharata's race, he pierced Salya with five and twenty, and Kripa with nine arrows, and Aswatthaman with eight.
Mbh.6.55.2936	The light-handed Abhimanyu then, O bull of Bharata's race, excited with rage, quickly pierced his cousin with five hundred arrows.
Mbh.6.57.3013	And, O bull of Bharata's race, the cavalry soldier with his lance felled the car-warrior in that conflict, and the car-warrior also felled the cavalry soldier.
Mbh.6.57.3019	And strewn with broken standards and bows and lances and housings of elephants, and costly blankets and bearded darts, and maces, and clubs furnished with spikes, and Kampanas, and darts, and variegated coats of mail and Kunapas, and iron hooks, and polished scimitars, and shafts furnished with golden wings, the field, O best of Bharata's race, shone as if with floral wreaths.
Mbh.6.61.3319	Then, O bull of Bharata's race, Samyamani's son, standing on that car whose steeds were slain, looked at the son of the renowned king of the Panchalas.
Mbh.6.67.3672	None superior to him of eyes like lotus-petals is to be seen, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.68.3731	And then, O bull of Bharata's race, he laid himself down on his white bed for passing the night in sleep
Mbh.6.70.3773	And heads cut off in that battle with keen-edged shafts, incessantly falling, created, O bull of Bharata's race, the appearance of a stony shower in the welkin.
Mbh.6.70.3774	Indeed, O bull of Bharata's race, innumerable were the heads lying on the field of battle, decked with ear-rings and turbans and resplendent with ornaments of gold.
Mbh.6.71.3804	And thy warriors, then, O bull of Bharata's race, their animals tired, steeds slain, and hearts depressed, thoroughly confounded and huddling close to one another, sought Bhishma's protection along with all thy sons.
Mbh.6.71.3809	Then in that battle, all the Pandavas, united together, and riding on separate cars and animals, began, O bull of Bharata's race, to slaughter thy troops
Mbh.6.71.3825	And, O bull of Bharata's race, weapons hurled from excellent arms and possessed of stellar brightness, illumined the whole welkin.
Mbh.6.71.3826	And variegated shields made of bull's hides and embossed with gold were strewn, O bull of Bharata's race, all over the field.
Mbh.6.72.3841	And Dhananjaya encountered Drona and Kripa, and Vikarna and many other kings, brave in battle, all mighty bowmen endued with great strength, as also that mighty bowman the ruler of the Sindhus supported by his friends and kinsmen and many kings of the west and the south also, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.74.3951	Meanwhile, during the continuance of that battle, the Pandavas, O bull of Bharata's race, excited with wrath, fought with that mighty car-warrior Bhishma.
Mbh.6.77.4037	O bull of Bharata's race, the faults which thou, O monarch, hadst seen in that unrighteous course of conduct towards the Pandavas, were not seen by Duryodhana.
Mbh.6.83.4312	Exerting your best, ye all, united together, and accompanied by your troops, protect in battle the grandsire, of Bharata's race, who is proceeding against the hostile army'
Mbh.6.83.4314	Then the mighty Bhishma, the son of Santanu, thus rushing to battle, speedily came upon Arjuna of Bharata's race who also had been coming towards him, on his exceedingly resplendent and large car unto which were yoked white steeds and upon which was set up his standard bearing the fierce ape, and whose rattle resembled the deep roll of the clouds.
Mbh.6.83.4341	And then, O bull of Bharata's race, the highly wrathful son of Drona sent after Sikhandin in that battle many thousands of shafts.
Mbh.6.84.4382	Sanjaya said, Thy men, O bull of Bharata's race, exert themselves according to the measure of their might and courage, and display their valour to the utmost extent of their strength.
Mbh.6.87.4573	Indeed the Kshatriyas beheld the movements of that lion of Bharata's race in battle to resemble those of a conflagration aided by the wind while consuming a heap of dry grass.
Mbh.6.88.4648	And, O bull of Bharata's race, all over the field flashes of fire mixed with smoke were generated, in consequence of friction, in the tusks of battling elephants.
Mbh.6.91.4852	During the progress of that fierce battle, O bull of Bharata's race, the brave combatants of neither army forgave their adversaries of the other.
Mbh.6.93.4886	Then filled with anger and sighing like a snake, thy son, O bull of Bharata's race, was placed in a position of great danger.
Mbh.6.93.4925	Then that Rakshasa of immeasurable soul, excited With rage, O bull of Bharata's race, sped at Bhurisravas five and ten shafts.
Mbh.6.94.4964	And the noise made by the hissing weapons and the shouting combatants resembled, O chief of Bharata's race, that made by departed spirits in the infernal regions.
Mbh.6.97.5158	While falling down from their cars, O bull of Bharata's race, those heroes looked resplendent like falling mango trees variegated with blossoms in the spring.
Mbh.6.99.5317	These were the words that Ganga's son acquainted with the scriptures, that chief of Bharata's race, said unto me.
Mbh.6.100.5362	And the loud shouts of battle, O bull of Bharata's race, were rendered inaudible by the louder cries of Rakshasas and cannibals.
Mbh.6.102.5457	And so also the Pandavas, O king, clad in mail and surrounding Dhananjaya, engaged in fierce battle, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.103.5524	And in consequence of those huge elephants fleeing away on all sides, Duryodhana's troops once more, O bull of Bharata's race, fled away from the field
Mbh.6.106.5617	O king, by the clouds at the end of summer, Duryodhana, O monarch, addressed Dussasana, saying, This heroic and great bowman Bhishma, this slayer of heroes, hath, O bull of Bharata's race, been surrounded on all sides by the brave Pandavas.
Mbh.6.106.5635	Struck with swords, those horsemen, O bull of Bharata's race, suffered their heads to drop like tall trees, dropping their fruits.
Mbh.6.107.5672	The shafts of thy sire, O bull of Bharata's race, told on the foe.
Mbh.6.108.5830	And the sons of Pandu, O king, worshipping that bull of Bharata's race, and bowing unto him with their heads, sought his protection.
Mbh.6.108.5846	What man is there, O bull of Bharata's race, who can venture to vanquish thee, scattering showers of arrows in battle, and causing a great destruction.
Mbh.6.108.5870	Obtaining that opportunity, let Dhananjaya the son of Pandu quickly pierce me on every side with his shafts, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.109.5916	Next to Dhrishtadyumna, behind, marched the royal lord Yudhishthira, accompanied by the twins, filling the air with leonine shouts, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.109.5933	Thus slaughtered in battle, O bull of Bharata's race, thy warriors were unable to resist that vast host of the Pandavas.
Mbh.6.109.5935	Slaughtered with sharp shafts by the Pandavas and the Srinjayas they found not a protector, O bull of Bharata's race
Mbh.6.110.5985	Sanjaya said, While fighting in that battle, O bull of Bharata's race, neither the bow nor the car of Bhishma had suffered any injury.
Mbh.6.110.5994	Frightened at those roars of his, thy warriors, O bull of Bharata's race, fled away in terror, like smaller animals, O king, at the sound of the lion.
Mbh.6.110.6003	I have fulfilled that vow, O bull of Bharata's race!
Mbh.6.110.6008	And the Pandavas then, O bull of Bharata's race, began to resist the son of Ganga staying in the midst of his forces and excited with wrath like a snake of virulent poison.
Mbh.6.111.6020	Thus addressed by Partha, Sikhandin, O bull of Bharata's race, having heard those words, rushed at the son of Ganga.
Mbh.6.115.6251	Those two foremost of car-warriors however, viz, those sons of Kunti, those bulls of Bharata's race, began in that battle to afflict the mighty host of the Trigartas.
Mbh.6.115.6254	Amid these car-warriors, however, those two bulls of Bharata's race, viz, the two sons of Kunti, those great car-warriors, looked exceedingly beautiful.
Mbh.6.115.6270	Jayatsena the king of the Magadhas then, O bull of Bharata's race pierced Bhima, that wielder of awful weapons in battle, with eight sharp arrows.
Mbh.6.115.6274	Meanwhile Drona, noticing an opening, pierced Bhimasena, O bull of Bharata's race, with eight keen shafts furnished with heads shaped after the frog's mouth.
Mbh.6.117.6345	And once more, O Chief of the Bharatas, that mighty car-warrior of Bharata's race struck the Kuru king with ten fierce shafts in the centre of his chest.
Mbh.6.118.6433	Thus addressed by Partha, Sikhandin, O bull of Bharata's race, quickly covered the grandsire with diverse kinds of weapons.
Mbh.6.118.6437	O bull of Bharata's race, surrounded on all sides, that Bharata hero consumed many brave warriors in that battle like a raging conflagration in the forest consuming numberless trees.
Mbh.6.119.6519	On the tenth day, however, O bull of Bharata's race, Bhishma, single-handed, slew ten thousand elephants.
Mbh.6.120.6566	Hearing that furious uproar, the mighty car-warriors of the Pandava army rushed forward, O bull of Bharata's race, for protecting Arjuna.
Mbh.6.120.6654	At that moment, O bull of Bharata's race, a divine nature took possession of that great bowman lying on a bed of arrows.
Mbh.6.120.6679	When the grandsire of the Bharatas who was endued with great might was overthrown, thy son, O bull of Bharata's race, knew not what to do.
Mbh.6.121.6735	Approaching Bhishma who was then, O bull of Bharata's race, lying on his bed of arrows, the Pandavas and the Kurus stood there, having offered him their salutations.
Mbh.6.122.6755	Taking up Gandiva and a number of straight shafts, and inspiring them with mantras, and obtaining the permission of that illustrious and mighty car-warrior of Bharata's race, Arjuna then, with three keen shafts endued with great force, supported Bhishma's head.
Mbh.6.123.6794	Bhishma, however, O bull of Bharata's race, suppressing his agonies with fortitude though burning with the arrows still sticking to his body, was sighing like a snake.
Mbh.7.1.22	After the fall of Ganga's son, O king, when the best part of the day had passed away, yielding to the influence of wrath, with hearts afflicted by fate, and disregarding the words, worthy of acceptance, of the high-souled Bhishma, those foremost ones of Bharata's race went out with great speed, armed with weapons.
Mbh.7.1.25	Indeed, after the fall of that foremost one of Bharata's race, the Kuru host looked like the firmament divested of stars, or like the sky without the atmosphere, or like the earth with blasted crops, or like an oration disfigured by bad grammar or like the Asura host of old after Vali had been smitten down, or like a beautiful damsel deprived of husband or like a river whose waters have been dried up, or like a roe deprived of her mate and encompassed in the woods by wolves; or like a spacious mountain cave with its lion killed by a Sarabha
Mbh.7.2.106	Worshipped by the foremost of Kuru car-warriors like Indra by the celestials, that high-souled and fierce bowman, endued with immeasurable energy like the Sun himself, upon his car decked with gold and jewels and gems, furnished with an excellent standard, unto which were yoked excellent steeds, and whose rattle resembled the roll of the clouds, proceeded, accompanied by a large force, to that field of battle where that bull of Bharata's race Bhishma had paid his debt to nature.

Mbh.7.147.7706	Grieving so within his heart, that offender against the whole world, O king, went to Drona, O bull of Bharata's race, for seeing him.
Mbh.7.151.7919	The Bharata host then, adorned with gems and gold and abounding with darts and standards, looked like the firmament in the night, O bull of Bharata's race, bespangled with stars.
Mbh.7.153.8185	The battle then that took place between those two lions among men Ghatotkacha on the one side and the son of Drona on the other became fierce in the extreme and gladdened all the combatants, O bull of Bharata's race!

Mbh.8.77.4664	Thus encompassed by those brave warriors on all sides, O king, that hero, that chief of Bharata's race, looked resplendent like the Moon surrounded by the stars.
Mbh.8.77.4715	Finding Karna, O bull of Bharata's race, thy troops became comforted and stood cheerfully, relying upon one another, like shipwrecked mariners, O tiger of men, in their distressful plight, when at last they reach an island.
