Mbh.5.188.8416	Smilingly, O king, they said unto me slowly, O chief of the Bharatas, do even what Narada sayeth.
Mbh.6.2.42	SECTION II Vaisampayana said, Seeing then the two armies standing on the east and the west for the fierce battle that was impending, the holy Rishi Vyasa, the son of Satyavati, that foremost of all persons acquainted with the Vedas, that grandsire of the Bharatas, conversant with the past, the present, and the future, and beholding everything as if it were present before his eyes, said these words in private unto the royal son of Vichitravirya who was then distressed and giving way to sorrow, reflecting on the evil policy of his sons.
Mbh.6.3.206	Thou art the cause of the fame, the achievements, and the inclination for virtue, of the Bharatas.
Mbh.6.4.276	He who knows these truly to be the sacred Gayatri possessed of every virtue, is not liable, O best of the Bharatas, to destruction in this world.
Mbh.6.8.472	O best of the Bharatas, the measure of their lives.
Mbh.6.9.506	Among the tribes of the north are the Mlecchas, and the Kruras, O best of the Bharatas; the Yavanas, the Chinas, the Kamvojas, the Darunas, and many Mleccha tribes; the Sukritvahas, the Kulatthas, the Hunas, and the Parasikas; the Ramanas, and the Dasamalikas.
Mbh.6.9.515	Desirous of enjoying Earth, the kings, O chief of the Bharatas, have become like dogs that snatch meat from one another.
Mbh.6.11.551	Indeed, O best of the Bharatas, Sakadwipa is surrounded on all sides by the ocean.
Mbh.6.11.593	The rivers there are full of sacred water, and Ganga herself, distributed as she hath been into various currents, is there, Sukumari, and Kumari, and Seta, and Keveraka, and Mahanadi, O Kauravya, and the river Manijala, and Chakshus, and the river Vardhanika, O thou best of the Bharatas, these and many other rivers by thousands and hundreds, all full of sacred water, are there, O perpetuator of Kuru's race, from which Vasava draweth water for showering it as rain.
Mbh.6.12.663	They are, O best of the Bharatas, Vamana, and Airavata, and another, and also Supratika
Mbh.6.12.687	Having listened to this charming Bhumi Parva, O chief of the Bharatas, a Kshatriya becometh endued with prosperity, obtaineth fruition of all his desires, and winneth the approbation of the righteous
Mbh.6.13.691	SECTION XIII Bhagavat-Gita Parva Vaisampayana said, Possessing a knowledge of the past, the present and the future, and seeing all things as if present before his eyes, the learned son of Gavalgana, O Bharata, coming quickly from the field of battle, and rushing with grief into the court represented unto Dhritarashtra who was plunged in thought that Bhishma the grandsire of the Bharatas had been slain
Mbh.6.13.694	Bhishma, the son of Santanu and the grandsire of the Bharatas, hath been slain.
Mbh.6.13.695	That foremost of all warriors, that grandsire of the Bharatas, hath been slain.
Mbh.6.15.794	Having bowed down to thy father, that wise and high-souled son of Parasara, through whose grace, through whose boon bestowed on me I have obtained excellent and celestial apprehension, sight beyond the range of the visual sense, and hearing, O king, from great distance, knowledge of other people's hearts and also of the past and the future, a knowledge also of the origin of all persons transgressing the ordinances the delightful power of coursing through the skies, and untouchableness by weapons in battles, listen to me in detail as I recite the romantic and highly wonderful battle that happened between the Bharatas, a battle that makes one's hair stand on end.
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.6.47.2401	And, O chief of the Bharatas, they hurled those seven darts at Sweta's car.
Mbh.6.47.2403	Then taking up an arrow capable of penetrating into every part of the body, he shot it, O chief of the Bharatas, at Rukmaratha.
Mbh.6.48.2521	Then thy sire, O chief of the Bharatas, beholding that mighty car-warrior Sweta, though the latter was then surrounded by those tigers among men with Bhimasena at their head, thy sire the son of Ganga-advanced steadily for the sake of the generalissimo Sweta alone.
Mbh.6.48.2524	And the grandsire of the Bharatas also struck Satyaki, in that combat, with a hundred arrows, and Dhrishtadyumna with twenty and the Kekaya brothers with five.
Mbh.6.50.2626	Beholding the son of Pandu stricken with grief and deprived of his senses by sorrow, Govinda then gladdening all the Pandavas said, Do not grieve, O chief of the Bharatas.
Mbh.6.65.3551	Listen again, O king, to what thou hast asked me, viz, the true cause, O chief of the Bharatas, of the victory of the Pandavas.
Mbh.6.65.3565	Let peace be made with the Pandavas, O best of the Bharatas.
Mbh.6.69.3763	The grandsire of the Bharatas, however, getting Sikhandin before him, avoided him, remembering the femininity of his sex.
Mbh.6.70.3786	And many warriors, O best of the Bharatas, belonging to both thy army and that of the foe, deeply pierced with shafts jumped up and fell down.
Mbh.6.82.4258	SECTION LXXXII Sanjaya said, O chief of the Bharatas, Ganga's son, once more addressing thy son who was plunged in thought, told him these delightful words, Myself and Drona and Salya and Kritavarman of Satwata's race, and Aswatthaman and Vikarna and Bhagadatta and Suvala's son and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, and Valhika with the Valhikas and the mighty king of the Trigartas and the invincible ruler of the Magadhas, Vrihadvala the king of the Kosalas, and Chitrasena and Vivingsati and many thousands of car-warriors graced with tall standards, a large number of country-born steeds well-mounted with excellent horse-soldiers and many infuriate elephants of large size with temporal juice issuing from their mouths and cheeks, and many brave foot-soldiers armed with diverse weapons and born in diverse realms, are all prepared to do battle for thy sake
Mbh.6.83.4326	Then Drona slew Virata's steeds with eight straight shafts, and then his charioteer, O chief of the Bharatas, with one shaft.
Mbh.6.87.4579	Then Sikhandin, sighting the grandsire of the Bharatas, rushed at him impetuously, saying, Wait, Wait, Remembering, however, the femininity of Sikhandin, and disregarding him on that account, Bhishma proceeded against the Srinjayas.
Mbh.6.92.4874	Inflamed with rage, O chief of the Bharatas, that mighty car-warrior, viz, thy son Duryodhana, then slew with four shafts four of the principal Rakshasas, viz, Vegavat, Maharudra, Vidyujihva, and Pramathin.
Mbh.6.92.4875	And once again, O chief of the Bharatas, that warrior of immeasurable soul, sped at the Rakshasa host showers of arrows that could with difficulty be resisted.
Mbh.6.94.4936	SECTION XCIV Sanjaya said, Having in that battle made all those warriors of thy army turn their faces from the field, the Rakshasa then, O chief of the Bharatas, rushed at Duryodhana, desirous of slaying him.
Mbh.6.94.4943	Hearing those roars of the Rakshasa, O chief of the Bharatas, king Yudhishthira then, addressing Bhima, said unto that chastiser of foes these words, The noise that we hear uttered by the fiercely-roaring Rakshasa, without doubt, indicates that he is battling with the mighty car-warriors of the Dhartarashtra army.
Mbh.6.96.5040	O tiger among the Bharatas, though thus situated, yet have I been defeated into battle by the Pandava warriors headed by Bhimasena relying upon Ghatotkacha.
Mbh.6.96.5044	Hearing these words of the king, that foremost one among the Bharatas, viz, Bhishma, the son of Santanu, said these words unto Duryodhana, Listen, O king, to these words of mine that I say unto thee, O thou of Kuru's race, about the way in which thou, O chastiser of foes, shouldst always behave.
Mbh.6.96.5083	Deeply pierced and exceedingly pained, that elephant, O chief of the Bharatas, its fury quelled, speedily turned back with great force.
Mbh.6.96.5114	Deeply pierced by Bhagadatta in that battle, and exceedingly pained, Visoka thereupon, O chief of the Bharatas, sat down on the terrace of the car.
Mbh.6.96.5118	Beholding his brothers, those mighty car-warriors, engaged in battle, that son of Pandu quickly commenced to fight, profusely scattering his shafts, O chief of the Bharatas.
Mbh.6.101.5384	Indeed, O king, the vast host of the Bharatas, afflicted by him, reeled hither and thither like a woman drunk with wine.
Mbh.6.104.5531	Then Sikhandin pierced the grandsire of the Bharatas with many shafts.
Mbh.6.106.5639	Then Duryodhana, filled with grief on seeing his troops vanquished, addressed the ruler of the Madras, O chief of the Bharatas, and said, There, the eldest son of Pandu, accompanied by the twins in battle, in thy very sight, O thou of mighty arms, routeth our troops, O lord.
Mbh.6.110.6007	Having said these words, O chief of the Bharatas, that invincible warrior, scattering his shafts among the Kshatriyas, attacked the Pandava host.
Mbh.6.111.6060	And once more, O chief of the Bharatas, he pierced Arjuna in the forehead with three sharp shafts.
Mbh.6.114.6206	Then, O sire, with a couple of broad-headed arrows, he cut off, O chief of the Bharatas, the bow of the high-souled king of the Sindhus in the middle.
Mbh.6.115.6279	Sikhandin also, sighting the grandsire of the Bharatas, was filled with joy and rushed at him, abandoning all fear of the mighty car-warrior.
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.6.117.6406	Sikhandin, however, without any anxiety, coming up at the grandsire of the Bharatas, quickly pierced him with great many arrows.
Mbh.6.118.6477	Having vanquished those mighty car-warriors, O chief of the Bharatas, in the forenoon, Partha blazed up in that battle like a smokeless conflagration.
Mbh.6.120.6569	And the battle that took place between these and the Kaurava warriors was fierce, making the hair stand on end, and resembling O chief of the Bharatas, the battle of the gods with the Danavas.
Mbh.6.120.6578	And with those five arrows, O chief of the Bharatas, the angry Arjuna cut off into five fragments that dart hurled from Bhishma's arms.
Mbh.6.120.6596	Then Sikhandin, O king, excited with rage, struck the grandsire of the Bharatas in the chest with nine sharp arrows.
Mbh.6.120.6664	Beholding that high-souled son of Ganga, that chief of the Bharatas, they walked round him, and the Sun being then in the southern solstice, they said, addressing one another, these words, Being a high-souled person, why should Bhishma pass out of the world during the southern declension'
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.6.120.6694	And the deceased ancestors of the Bharatas also praised Bhishma.
Mbh.6.121.6715	Even thus did the Rishis together with the Siddhas and the Charanas said of that foremost one of the Bharatas as he lay on his bed of arrows.
Mbh.6.121.6716	When Santanu's son Bhishma, the grandsire of the Bharatas, was slain, thy sons, O sire, knew not what to do.
Mbh.6.122.6756	Then that chief of the Bharatas, viz, Bhishma of virtuous soul, conversant with the truths of religion, seeing that Arjuna, having divined his thought, had achieved that feat, became highly gratified.
Mbh.6.122.6758	And casting his eyes upon all the Bharatas there, he addressed Kunti's son Arjuna, that foremost of all warriors, that enhancer of the joys of his friends and said, Thou hast given me, O son of Pandu, a pillow that becometh my bed!
Mbh.6.123.6811	Then that foremost of car-warriors, mounted on his car, circumambulated that prostrate chief of the Bharatas, that foremost of all wielders of weapons.
Mbh.7.1.26	Indeed, O chief of the Bharatas, the Bharata host, on the fall of Ganga's son, became like a frail boat on the bosom of the ocean, tossed by a tempest blowing from every side.
Mbh.7.2.62	Sanjaya continued, Upon the fall of that boon-giving hero of great might, that lord of the world, viz, Santanu's son of great energy, and upon the consequent defeat of the Bharatas, Karna, with cheerless heart and eyes filled with tears, began to console the Dhartarashtras.
Mbh.7.3.109	Beholding him who was always an island unto persons sinking in the fathomless ocean in their endeavours to cross it, beholding that hero covered with arrows that had coursed in a stream as continuous as that of Yamuna, that hero who looked like Mainaka of unbearable energy thrown down on the earth by the great Indra, that warrior lying prostrate on the earth like the Sun dropped down from the firmament, that one who looked like the inconceivable Indra himself after his defeat of old by Vritra, that depriver of all warriors of their senses, that foremost of all combatants, that signal of all bowmen, beholding that hero and bull among men, viz, thy sire Bhishma of high vows, that grandsire of the Bharatas thrown down in battle and lying covered with Arjuna's shafts, on a hero's bed.
Mbh.7.3.117	From this day, O chief of the Bharatas, the Pandavas, excited with wrath, will slaughter the Kurus like tigers slaying deer.
Mbh.7.12.468	Inasmuch as thou wishest him to be alive, thou either seekest to preserve thy race from extinction, or, O chief of the Bharatas, thou, having vanquished the Pandavas in battle, art desirous of establishing brotherly relation with them by giving them their kingdom.
Mbh.7.19.886	Then the field of battle, O chief of the Bharatas, strewn with mighty car-warriors deprived of life, looked dreadful like Yama's domains, abounding with the spirits of the departed creatures.
Mbh.7.20.891	After Partha went out for slaying the Samsaptakas, Drona then, at the head of his troops arrayed for battle, proceeded, O chief of the Bharatas, for seizing king Yudhishthira the just.
Mbh.7.23.1157	Mighty steeds of gigantic size, of the Aratta breed, bore the mighty-armed Vrihanta of red eyes mounted on his golden car, that prince, viz, who, rejecting the opinions of all the Bharatas, hath singly, from his reverence for Yudhishthira.
Mbh.7.30.1609	Then Karna that foremost of Bharata car-warriors, that delighter of all the Bharatas, that first of all persons acquainted with weapons, invoked into existence the Agneya weapon.
Mbh.7.39.1971	That noise, O chief of the Bharatas, filled all the points of the compass.
Mbh.7.70.3072	O best of the Bharatas, these brothers of thine are all exceedingly cheerless, as also the king, and these thy friends, seeing thee plunged in grief.
Mbh.7.83.3685	O child, I have kinsmen to whose voice the Pandavas will ever listen, such, for instance, as Salya, Somadatta, the high-souled Bhishma, Drona, Vikarna, Valhika, Kripa, and others among the Bharatas that are illustrious and reverend in years.
Mbh.7.100.4679	Indeed, that blare, O best of Bharatas, filled all the points of the compass, and was echoed back by both the armies.
Mbh.7.103.4783	Then, O Bharata, Yudhishthira, that chief of the Bharatas, struck Drona with ninety straight shafts in all his vital parts.
Mbh.7.103.4784	Enraged by the famous son of Kunti, Drona struck him in return, O chief of the Bharatas, in the centre of the chest with five and twenty shafts.
Mbh.7.106.4939	Then that Rakshasa, O chief of the Bharatas, viz, the son of Hidimva, filled with rage, pierced that other angry Rakshasa in battle with many shafts.
Mbh.7.108.5099	SECTION CX Sanjaya said, That bull amongst the Sinis, viz, Satyaki, hearing these words o, full affection, agreeable, fraught with sweet sounds, opportune, delightful, and equitable that were uttered by king Yudhishthira the just, replied unto him, O chief of the Bharatas, saying, O thou of unfading glory, I have heard all the words thou hast said, words fraught with justice, delightful, and conducive to fame for the sake of Phalguna.
Mbh.7.110.5305	Smiting the great host of Karna with whetted arrows, Satyaki penetrated into the vast and limitless army of the Bharatas.
Mbh.7.129.6469	Indeed, O best of Bharatas, it became as frightful to behold as the city of the dead.
Mbh.7.134.6701	O chief of the Bharatas, suffer the fruit of all that with thy sons.
Mbh.7.136.6776	And in consequence of that clash of the arrowy showers of those two lions among men, a conflagration, O chief of the Bharatas, seemed to be generated in the sky.
Mbh.7.136.6869	Indeed, O chief of the Bharatas, Partha, the son of Indra, began to exterminate that host teeming with steeds and elephants and men
Mbh.7.139.6976	Then Somadatta's son, having shrouded the grandson of Sini with swift coursing shafts, once more pierced the latter, O chief of the Bharatas, with many keen shafts, from desire of slaying him.
Mbh.7.142.7216	Protected by Bhimasena and by Satwata, Vibhatsu, O chief of the Bharatas, looked resplendent like a blazing fire.
Mbh.7.143.7288	Then the mighty-armed one, O king, excited with wrath, invoked into existence the invincible Aindra weapon, frightening all the Bharatas.
Mbh.7.143.7363	And while the ruler of the Sindhus was thus beholding the sun, Krishna, once more addressing Dhananjaya said these words, Behold, the heroic ruler of the Sindhus is now looking at the sun, casting off his fear of thee, O foremost one among the Bharatas!
Mbh.7.151.7900	When those heroic warriors, O bull among the Bharatas, proceeded to battle, the night became pitch dark, enhancing the terrors of the timid.
Mbh.7.153.8050	Hearing those words of Bhima, his driver Visoka urged his steeds, following in the wake, O chief of the Bharatas, of Jishnu, of sure aim.
Mbh.7.153.8174	The Rakshasa, O chief of the Bharatas, with eyes rolling in wrath, striking his palms, and biting his nether lip, addressed his own driver, saying, Bear me towards the son of Drona'
Mbh.7.159.8652	Cease, O best of the Bharatas, to fight with Drona.
Mbh.7.161.8750	Having said these words, O chief of the Bharatas, thy son Duryodhana, urged his troops on that night of terrible darkness.
Mbh.7.161.8751	Then commenced a battle, O chief of the Bharatas, between the two hosts.
Mbh.7.163.8848	Then king Duryodhana, O chief of Bharatas, pierced Bhima with five winged arrows and said, Wait!
Mbh.7.163.8851	Then, Duryodhana filled with rage, taking up a more formidable bow, O chief of the Bharatas, afflicted Bhimasena, at the van of battle, with many whetted shafts, in the very sight of all the bowmen.
Mbh.7.167.9002	Terrible of itself, that night, O chief of the Bharatas, became more terrible still to the heroic combatants engaged in battle.
Mbh.7.167.9023	That night, O chief of the Bharatas, lightened up by those lamps looked like day, O king, on the field of battle.
Mbh.7.167.9028	Sire, O chief of the Bharatas, slew son, and son, from ignorance, slew sire, and friend slew friend.
Mbh.7.169.9151	Indeed, that host, O chief of the Bharatas, thus slaughtered on the night, fled away in all directions, afflicted with fear and in the very sight of their leaders.
Mbh.7.181.9867	Such cheerlessness does not become thee, O chief of the Bharatas, as it does an ordinary person.
Mbh.7.193.10699	I shall, therefore, O chief of the Bharatas, now achieve that by which I may be freed from the debt I owe to my sire, now gone to the other world.
Mbh.7.199.11544	Sanjaya said, Having addressed Arjuna in these words, the son of Parasara, O chief of the Bharatas, went away to the place he had come from, O chastiser of foes'
Mbh.8.4.85	When that foremost of the monarchs, greatly agitated, fell down on the Earth, loud wails were uttered, O best of the Bharatas, by the ladies of the royal household.
Mbh.8.19.787	Then Govinda, beholding the field of battle during the progress of that carnage, said these words to Savyasaci, Here, O Partha, for the sake of Duryodhana alone, occurreth this great and terrible destruction of the Bharatas and other kings of Earth.
Mbh.8.25.1064	Then Uluka, O sire, in that battle, cut off, with a broad-headed arrow steeped in oil, the head of his antagonist's driver, O best of the Bharatas.
Mbh.8.31.1335	Single-handed, he protected the Bharatas, and single-handed, he gratified Bhava.
Mbh.8.35.1889	O chief of the Bharatas, for whatever acts I may be fit, employing myself therein with my whole heart, I will bear the burthen of those acts of thine.
Mbh.8.42.2265	He amongst the Bharatas, O Shalya, who is accomplished, who is an effectual smiter, who is universal destroyer, and who is exceedingly terrible, viz, Arjuna, that mighty crusher, I think, will burn many foremost of kshatriyas.
Mbh.8.55.3098	The welkin then, thus covered with that dense shower of arrows decked with gold, looked beautiful, O chief of the Bharatas, as if a canopy embroidered with gold had been spread there.
Mbh.8.55.3125	That army of Pandu's son, thus scorched by the son of Drona, became exceedingly agitated, O chief of the Bharatas, like the mouth of a river by a whale.
Mbh.8.56.3148	Then Duryodhana, O chief of the Bharatas, filled with rage, pierced Nakula and his four steeds with nine arrows.
Mbh.8.56.3167	Desirous of slaying Duryodhana, O chief of the Bharatas, the Pancala hero sped five and ten cloth-yard shafts that resembled hissing snakes.
Mbh.8.56.3220	The combatants, O chief of the Bharatas, drenched with blood, were seen to approach and slaughter one another.
Mbh.8.56.3296	Meanwhile Yudhishthira, O chief of the Bharatas, in great pain owing to his wounds, retreating about two miles from the battle, rested himself for some time
Mbh.8.57.3297	SECTION Sanjaya said, Then Duryodhana, O chief of Bharatas, repairing to Karna, said unto him as also unto the ruler of the Madras and the other lords of Earth present there, these words, Without seeking hath this occasion arrived, when the gates of heaven have become wide open.
Mbh.8.58.3341	With headless trunks smeared all over with blood with severed limbs and heads and hips, the Earth looks, O best of the Bharatas, like an altar strewn with extinguished fires.
Mbh.8.59.3418	The mighty car-warrior Ashvatthama, however, though struggling vigorously, could not, O chief of the Bharatas, slay the carless and steedless and bowless Dhrishtadyumna, although pierced and exceedingly mangled with many arrows.
Mbh.8.60.3462	The king, O best of the Bharatas, is exceedingly emaciated in consequence of his fasts.
Mbh.8.65.3795	Thus addressed, Bhima said, O thou of great glory, go thyself for ascertaining the condition of the king, that bull amongst the Bharatas!
Mbh.8.71.4236	And he repeatedly said unto that chief of the Bharatas, Be pleased with me, Forgive, O king, all that I have said from desire of observing virtue and from fear of sins
Mbh.8.71.4249	Thus addressed, Keshava, O best of kings, said unto Partha, Thou art competent, O best of the Bharatas, to slay the mighty Karna.
Mbh.8.73.4360	Who, indeed, O Partha, could vanquish in battle those two mighty car-warriors of the Bharatas, Bhishma and Drona, both of whom were endued with prowess equal to that of Sakra himself?
Mbh.8.81.4942	After this, many Kauravas, with cars and elephants and steeds, fearlessly advanced against that foremost one of Kuru's race, that chief of the Bharatas, Phalguna.
Mbh.8.94.6068	As soon as the Kauravas heard the blare of those conchs that were thus being blown, all of them left the field with great speed, deserting the ruler of the Madras and the chief of the Bharatas, O Bharata, viz, Duryodhana.
Mbh.9.1.68	All those ladies retired, O chief of the Bharatas, as also all those friends, beholding the king deeply afflicted.
Mbh.9.2.140	Tell me the details of the great destruction of the Bharatas.
Mbh.9.7.410	Thus addressed by Shalya, king Duryodhana cheerfully poured sanctified water, without losing any time, O best of the Bharatas, on the ruler of the Madras, in the midst of his troops, according to the rites ordained in the scriptures, O monarch.
Mbh.9.8.473	Soon, O chief of the Bharatas, that host, whose noise resembled that of the agitated ocean, and which seemed to be wonderful in consequence of its cars and elephants, presented the aspect of the vast deep swelling with its surges'
Mbh.9.14.829	Indeed, along the track of the angry Partha's car, O monarch, the ground, miry with blood, became impassable, O chief of the Bharatas, like the sporting ground of Rudra.
Mbh.9.19.1170	Indeed, O chief of the Bharatas, thy soldiers fled on all sides.
Mbh.9.21.1376	Anon that disappeared and everything became clear when the Earth, O best of the Bharatas, became drenched with the blood of heroes.
Mbh.9.21.1435	The aspect presented, O chief of the Bharatas, by the lances hurled all around, became like that of swarms of locusts in the welkin.
Mbh.9.21.1479	Thus occurred that battle, O best of the Bharatas, in which no consideration was shown by anybody for anyone, and in which lances and swords and arrows fell fast, on every side and made the scene exceedingly terrible to behold
Mbh.9.23.1561	That army, O chief of the Bharatas, thus struck by Kiritin, fled away in the very sight of thy son.
Mbh.9.23.1575	Some, having slaked their thirst or groomed their animals, and some, wearing fresh armour, O chief of the Bharatas, and some, having comforted their brothers and sons and sires, and placed them in camp, once more came to battle.
Mbh.9.27.1828	That army, O chief of the Bharatas, as it came to battle, was in a moment exterminated by those high-souled warriors, for it failed to obtain a protector.
Mbh.9.27.1842	Meanwhile, O chief of the Bharatas, king Duryodhana, that foremost of car-warriors, saw not in that battle a single warrior on his side.
Mbh.9.27.1935	And he said, Thou hast acted properly, having regard for what has come, in view of this destruction of all the Bharatas of which thou art speaking!
Mbh.9.27.1950	He passed the time, thinking of the terrible destruction of the Bharatas at one another's hands
Mbh.9.29.2045	With acts and means and applying thy power of illusion to these waters, slay, O chief of the Bharatas, this Suyodhana, who is the very soul of illusion!
Mbh.9.31.2307	It is for thee that that illustrious chief of the Bharatas, the son of Ganga, the grandsire of us all, lieth now on a bed of arrows, struck down by us!
Mbh.9.34.2539	Thus deserted by his two brothers, who were moved by the temptation of appropriating those animals, the great ascetic Trita, O king, while within that lonely well covered with dust and herbs and creepers, thought himself plunged, O chief of the Bharatas, into hell itself like a sinful wretch.
Mbh.9.35.2579	And since the Sarasvati, in consequence of such contempt, is lost at that spot, the Rishis, for that reason, O chief of the Bharatas, always name the place as Vinasana.
