Mbh.1.2.382	Then comes the third parva called Aranyaka relating to the forest This parva treats of the wending of the Pandavas to the forest and the citizens, following the wise Yudhishthira, Yudhishthira's adoration of the god of day; according to the injunctions of Dhaumya, to be gifted with the power of maintaining the dependent Brahmanas with food and drink: the creation of food through the grace of the Sun: the expulsion by Dhritarashtra of Vidura who always spoke for his master's good; Vidura's coming to the Pandavas and his return to Dhritarashtra at the solicitation of the latter; the wicked Duryodhana's plottings to destroy the forest-ranging Pandavas, being incited thereto by Karna; the appearance of Vyasa and his dissuasion of Duryodhana bent on going to the forest; the history of Surabhi; the arrival of Maitreya; his laying down to Dhritarashtra the course of action; and his curse on Duryodhana; Bhima's slaying of Kirmira in battle; the coming of the Panchalas and the princes of the Vrishni race to Yudhishthira on hearing of his defeat at the unfair gambling by Sakuni; Dhananjaya's allaying the wrath of Krishna; Draupadi's lamentations before Madhava; Krishna's cheering her; the fall of Sauva also has been here described by the Rishi; also Krishna's bringing Subhadra with her son to Dwaraka; and Dhrishtadyumna's bringing the son of Draupadi to Panchala; the entrance of the sons of Pandu into the romantic Dwaita wood; conversation of Bhima, Yudhishthira, and Draupadi; the coming of Vyasa to the Pandavas and his endowing Yudhishthira with the power of Pratismriti; then, after the departure of Vyasa, the removal of the Pandavas to the forest of Kamyaka; the wanderings of Arjuna of immeasurable prowess in search of weapons; his battle with Mahadeva in the guise of a hunter; his meeting with the lokapalas and receipt of weapons from them; his journey to the regions of Indra for arms and the consequent anxiety of Dhritarashtra; the wailings and lamentations of Yudhishthira on the occasion of his meeting with the worshipful great sage Brihadaswa.
Mbh.1.2.390	Bhima's meeting on his way, in a grove of bananas, with Hanuman, the son of Pavana of great prowess; Bhima's bath in the tank and the destruction of the flowers therein for obtaining the sweet-scented flower he was in search of; his consequent battle with the mighty Rakshasas and the Yakshas of great prowess including Hanuman; the destruction of the Asura Jata by Bhima; the meeting of the Pandavas with the royal sage Vrishaparva; their departure for the asylum of Arshtishena and abode therein: the incitement of Bhima to acts of vengeance by Draupadi.
Mbh.1.2.394	Here also is recited the story of Durvasa; then the abduction by Jayadratha of Draupadi from the asylum; the pursuit of the ravisher by Bhima swift as the air and the ill-shaving of Jayadratha's crown at Bhima's hand.
Mbh.1.140.7462	Those huge animals, like unto mountains, struck with Bhima's mace, had their heads broken into pieces.
Mbh.1.141.7523	And after Bhima's education was finished, he became in strength like unto Dyumatsena himself and continuing to live in harmony with his brothers, he began to exert his prowess.
Mbh.1.153.8022	Hearing these words, Bhima's heart, from affection for his mother, was warmed by compassion and he resolved to go along as before.
Mbh.1.155.8167	Then the Rakshasa, thus made to feel the weight of Bhima's strength, became very angry and clasping the Pandava, sent forth a terrible yell.
Mbh.1.158.8295	There is little doubt that, having by means of Bhima's and Arjuna's prowess conquered the whole earth with her belt of seas, he will enjoy the sovereignty thereof.
Mbh.1.164.8487	Then Yudhishthira, the son of Pandu from Bhima's countenance alone, suspected the nature of the task he had undertaken to accomplish.
Mbh.1.164.8505	The might of Bhima's arms is equal unto that of ten thousand elephants.
Mbh.1.164.8510	From this also, O son of Pandu, I have come to know Bhima's might.
Mbh.1.165.8526	The Rakshasa, inflamed with anger at Bhima's words, came out and approached the place where Bhima was.
Mbh.1.165.8549	And, O monarch, he also began to vomit blood while he was being thus broken on Bhima's knee
Mbh.1.166.8550	SECTION CLXVI Vaka-vadha Parva continued Vaisampayana said Then Vaka, huge as a mountain, thus broken on Bhima's knee, died, uttering frightful yells.
Mbh.2.24.1074	And the roar of the Pandava mingling with that death knell of Jarasandha, while he was being broken on Bhima's knee, caused a loud uproar that struck fear into the heart of every creature.
Mbh.2.41.1675	And, O Bharata, Bhima's wrath was soon appeased by Bhishma, the grand-sire of the Kurus, with various kinds of counsel.
Mbh.2.79.3451	These kings will scarcely be able to bear the force of Bhima's mace.
Mbh.3.11.589	And after the Rakshasa had been slain, borne down by the might of Bhima's arms, those heroes entered into the peaceful forest freed from its annoyance.
Mbh.3.11.590	Passing through the great forest I saw lying the body of the wicked and fearless Rakshasa slain by Bhima's might.
Mbh.3.12.683	It is that sinful wretch, who, horrible to relate, mixed in Bhima's food fresh and virulent poison in full dose.
Mbh.3.12.684	But, O Janardana, Bhima digested that poison with the food, without sustaining any injury, for, O best of men and mighty-armed one, Bhima's days had not been ended!
Mbh.3.12.700	The weak one then took up Bhima's feet on her lap to press them with her soft hands.
Mbh.3.12.713	And approaching him furiously, the mighty cannibal, possessed with rage, caught hold of Bhima's hand with his own and clenching fast his other hand and making it hard as the thunder-bolt of Indra, suddenly struck Bhima a blow that descended with the force of lightning.
Mbh.3.51.2550	The impetus of Bhima's mace and the loud twang of the Gandiva are incapable of being stood against by any of the kings on my side.
Mbh.3.53.2673	And Bhima's daughter of faultless features, decked in every ornament, shone in the midst of her hand-maids, like the luminous lightning of the clouds.
Mbh.3.58.2890	I shall possess Nala, deprive him of his kingdom, and he shall no more sport with Bhima's daughter.
Mbh.3.59.2910	Thereupon Bhima's daughter, overwhelmed with grief and almost deprived of reason by it, spake unto Nala in choked accents, O king, the citizens with the councillors of state, urged by loyalty, stay at the gate desirous of beholding thee.
Mbh.3.60.2916	Bhima's daughter, the cool-headed Damayanti, seeing the righteous king maddened and deprived of his senses at dice, was filled, O king, with alarm and grief.
Mbh.3.61.2968	Addressing Bhima's daughter, O Bharata, he distressed king Nala spake those words unto Damayanti over and over again.
Mbh.3.63.3044	And Bhima's daughter devoted to her husband, burning in anguish and sighing ever more, and faint and weeping exclaimed, That being through whose imprecation the afflicted Naishadha suffereth this woe, shall bear grief that is greater than ours.
Mbh.3.63.3051	And that huge and hungry serpent thereupon suddenly seized Bhima's daughter, who had come near and was moving about within its range.
Mbh.3.64.3172	Unto Bhima's daughter, Damayanti, lamenting forlorn in that forest, the truth-telling ascetics replied, saying, O blessed and beauteous one, we see by ascetic power that the future will bring happiness to thee, and that thou wilt soon behold Naishadha.
Mbh.3.64.3183	And after thinking so for some time, Bhima's daughter, Damayanti of sweet smiles melancholy and afflicted with grief on account of her lord, lost the colour of her face again.
Mbh.3.64.3191	And going round that tree thrice, with an afflicted heart, that best of women, Bhima's daughter, entered a more terrible part of the forest.
Mbh.3.64.3192	And wandering in quest of her lord, Bhima's daughter beheld many trees and streams and delightful mountains, and many beasts and birds, and caves, and precipices, and many rivers of wonderful appearance.
Mbh.3.65.3305	Unto Bhima's daughter thus lamenting with tearful eyes, and afflicted and speaking in accents choked in grief, the queen-mother herself said, O blessed damsel, do thou stay with me.
Mbh.3.69.3486	And Bhima's daughter spake unto them saying, Do ye cry in every realm and in every assembly, O beloved gambler, where hast thou gone cutting off half of my garment, and deserting the dear and devoted wife asleep in the forest?
Mbh.3.70.3526	And after he had gone away, Damayanti oppressed with grief and distress, calling Sudeva, addressed him, O Yudhishthira, in the presence of her mother, saying, O Sudeva, go thou to the city of Ayodhya, straight as a bird, and tell king Rituparna living there, these words: Bhima's daughter, Damayanti will hold another Swayamvara.
Mbh.3.76.3783	At the command of the king, messengers are ranging this entire earth, saying, Bhima's daughter will, of her own accord, choose a second husband worthy of her'
Mbh.3.76.3800	O monarch, thou hast obtained Bhima's daughter, and she hath also obtained thee.
Mbh.3.76.3805	And beholding her righteous lord in his own form, Bhima's daughter of faultless limbs embraced him, and began to weep aloud.
Mbh.3.76.3806	And king Nala also embraced Bhima's daughter devoted to him, as before, and also his children, and experienced great delight.
Mbh.3.76.3815	And Bhima's daughter, thus recovering her lord, obtained her wish, and blazed forth in beauty, her weariness gone, her anxieties dispelled and herself swelling with joy, ever like a night that is lit by the bright disc of the moon
Mbh.3.78.3843	SECTION LXXVIII Vrihadaswa said, O son of Kunti, the ruler of the Nishadhas having dwelt there for a month, set out from that city with Bhima's permission and accompanied by only a few followers for the country of the Nishadhas.
Mbh.3.145.7430	On those sounds being heard the down of Bhima's body stood on end; and he began to range that plantain wood, in search of those sounds.
Mbh.3.153.7774	On the other hand, the Krodhavasas, being driven by the might of Bhima and exceedingly terrified, presented themselves before the lord of wealth, and gave an exact account of Bhima's prowess and strength in fight.
Mbh.3.156.7838	SECTION CLVI Vaisampayana continued, Thus dwelling with the Brahmanas in that best of mountains, in expectation of Arjuna's return, when the Pandavas had grown confident and when all those Rakshasas together with Bhima's son had departed, one day while Bhimasena was away, a Rakshasa all of a sudden carried off Yudhishthira the just and the twins and Krishna.
Mbh.3.159.8083	And the bodies and hands of the Yakshas and Rakshasas were seen to be struck off by the weapon discharged by the might of Bhima's arms.
Mbh.3.159.8100	And that club, belching forth flames and emitting tremendous roars, all of a sudden pierced Bhima's right arm and then fell to the ground.
Mbh.3.160.8132	And hearing of Bhima's second act of aggression, that lord of treasures, the king of the Yakshas, was filled with wrath, and said.
Mbh.3.178.8864	And on coming to the east, he found mighty leaders of elephant-herds slain and saw the earth marked with Bhima's foot-prints.
Mbh.3.234.11862	The son of Dharma never acteth sinfully; Dhananjaya also always obeyeth him; but Bhima's wrath, in consequence of a life of exile, is increasing like a conflagration assisted by the wind!
Mbh.4.21.916	Vaisampayana Continued, Having said this, Krishna, hiding her face in Bhima's breast began to weep.
Mbh.4.22.1002	And bearing for a moment only that onslaught incapable of being born on earth, the Suta, overpowered by Bhima's might, became enfeebled.
Mbh.4.43.1650	This other bow of handsome sides and golden handle is Bhima's with which that son of Pritha, that chastiser of foes, had conquered the whole of the eastern regions.
Mbh.4.71.2756	I am, O king, Arjuna who, it is evident, thou hast heard, is that son of Pritha, who is Bhima's junior and the senior of the twins!
Mbh.5.82.3943	And now pierced by Bhima's wordy darts that heart cf mine is about to break, for the mighty-armed Bhima now casteth his eye on morality.
Mbh.5.137.6152	They that are foremost among men never become cheerless when they have hostilities to wage, Thou knowest what the state of Bhima's mind is.
Mbh.5.161.7244	Where, O Falguni, was Bhima's might then?
Mbh.5.163.7401	Thou thinkest that Bhima's words have been spoken in vain!
Mbh.5.167.7552	Remembering the wrongs inflicted on them of old by that son of Pandu who is Bhima's younger brother, when the latter, O Bharata, on his car drawn by white steeds, was engaged, O monarch, in subjugating all the kings of the earth, they will certainly exert themselves bravely in battle.
Mbh.6.19.915	The two sons of Madri, both endued with great effulgence, became the protectors of Bhima's wheels; while the five sons of Draupadi and the son of Subhadra all endued with great activity, protected Bhima from behind.
Mbh.6.54.2801	Sanjaya said, Thus urged by thy son, O great king, the mighty king of the Kalingas, accompanied by a large army advanced towards Bhima's car.
Mbh.6.54.2906	This is Death himself that is fighting in Bhima's shape with the Kalingas'
Mbh.6.62.3372	Then the sons of Draupadi, and that mighty car-warrior, the son of Subhadra, and Nakula and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, protecting Bhima's rear, rushed behind him, checking all by scattering their arrowy showers like the very clouds pouring rain on the mountain breast.
Mbh.6.85.4488	That tiger among men, however, viz, Abhimanyu, having, O king, deprived thy sons of their cars, slew them not, remembering Bhima's words
Mbh.6.90.4741	Then, O Bharata, struck with Bhima's shafts, some of those beasts fell down, some were paralysed, some shrieked in pain, and some ran away in all directions.
Mbh.6.96.5113	And with three other shafts he pierced Bhima's charioteer.
Mbh.7.41.2023	The mighty Jayadratha then, taking up another bow, strung it and felled Bhima's standard and bow and steeds.
Mbh.7.111.5429	That dart resembling a snake freed from its slough, hurled from Bhima's hands, fierce-looking, blazed forth as it proceeded towards Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.126.6289	Indeed, the mighty Karna, desirous of battle, displayed his strength and checked Bhima's course like a tall tree withstanding tempest.
Mbh.7.128.6417	And soon, within the twinkling of the eye, was seen a network of shafts about Bhima's car caused by Karna.
Mbh.7.130.6504	Grasping that fierce dart, which resembled a second dart of death, and uplifting and aiming it, the mighty son of Radha hurled it at Bhimasena with a force sufficient to take away Bhima's life.
Mbh.7.131.6556	Those fierce-winged arrows, piercing through Bhima's right arms, entered the earth like birds entering a grove of trees.
Mbh.7.131.6560	Then, O king, Karna thus afflicted by Bhima's might, became exceedingly distressed.
Mbh.7.132.6587	But it is my belief that no one can escape from before Bhima's face.
Mbh.7.133.6622	Karna, however, in the dreadful battle, resisting all those shafts with his own, cut off Bhima's armour also with his arrows.
Mbh.7.134.6658	The beautiful shafts, equipped with peacock-feathers, shot from Karna's bow, penetrated into every part of Bhima's body, like birds into a tree for roosting there.
Mbh.7.134.6668	When that fierce uproar, making the hair stand on end rose, thy son Duryodhana, O king, quickly said unto all the kings and princes and particularly his uterine brothers, these words, Blessed be ye, proceed towards Karna for rescuing him from Vrikodara, else the shafts shot from Bhima's bow will slay the son of Radha.
Mbh.7.135.6716	The arrows, winged with gold and whetted on stone and marked with Bhima's name, approaching Karna, penetrated into his body, as if piercing into his very life.
Mbh.7.135.6719	Many were the combatants, O chastiser of foes, in thy host that were deprived of life by arrows, resembling snakes of virulent poison shot from Bhima's bow.
Mbh.7.135.6721	Slaughtered in battle with the arrows from Bhima's bow, thy warriors fled away, saying, What is this'
Mbh.7.135.6725	Saying those words, these troops of thine afflicted with fear avoiding the range of Karna's and Bhima's arrows, stood at a distance for witnessing that combat.
Mbh.7.136.6793	And then slaying his steeds also, Karna pierced Bhima's charioteer with five shafts.
Mbh.7.152.7965	And he struck Visoka the driver of Bhima's car with three shafts and the latter's standard with one.
Mbh.7.152.7988	And the kings, beholding Bhima said, That is Rudra who is fighting in Bhima's form among the Dhartarashtras'
Mbh.7.153.8098	The son of Drona then slew that son of Bhima's son, viz, Anjanaparvan, cased in an iron coat of mail, even as Mahadeva had slain in days of yore the Asura Andhaka.
Mbh.7.163.8857	Indeed, O king, thy son, proud of his prowess and desirous of victory, cut off Bhima's bow as soon as the latter took up one.
Mbh.7.173.9407	Then Karna pierced with his shafts Bhima's son in the sky, that Rakshasa acquainted with illusions, like the sun piercing with his rays a mass of clouds.
Mbh.7.175.9533	Then all those Rakshasa warriors, of terrible forms, rallying and returning to battle, at the command of their leader, began to slay the elephants of Bhima's force.
Mbh.7.175.9534	The Panchalas and the Srinjayas, the steeds and huge elephants of Bhima's army, exceedingly afflicted by the Rakshasas, became much agitated.
Mbh.7.175.9536	Quickly proceed in Bhima's wake, without thinking of anything else, O son of Pandu.
Mbh.7.175.9542	Then with some shafts resembling snakes of virulent poison and sped from his bow drawn to its fullest stretch, the valiant prince of the Rakshasas cut off Bhima's bow.
Mbh.7.176.9581	Indeed, the battle that took place between Bhima's son and Alayudha, was, O king, dreadful in the extreme, like that in days of old, O monarch, between Vali and Sugriva, those two princes among the monkeys.
Mbh.7.176.9595	The Kuru king had regarded Bhima's slaughter to be certain, and had believed that his brothers would all be long-lived.
Mbh.7.176.9596	Beholding that Alayudha slain by Bhimasena's son, the king regarded Bhima's vow about the slaughter of himself and his brothers already fulfilled
Mbh.7.177.9618	Indeed, that battle between the son of Surya and Bhima's son, characterised by a thick and heavy shower of weapons, looked exceedingly beautiful and presented almost an unrivalled sight like the fierce encounter between Rahu and Surya in the welkin'
Mbh.7.179.9763	If Karna had not slain him with his dart in great battle, I myself would have had to slay Bhima's son Ghatotkacha.
Mbh.7.186.10211	Then the valiant son of Radha, taking up a mace, hurled it at Bhima's car.
Mbh.7.186.10216	Struck with that same mace, Bhima's driver also became deprived of his senses.
Mbh.7.186.10219	The latter then, viz, the son of Radha, taking up another invincible and gold-decked bow, shot a number of shafts, and quickly slew Bhima's steeds of the hue of bears, and then his two drivers.
Mbh.7.187.10316	Cutting off all those shafts of Bhima with the greatest ease, Karna cut off Bhima's bow, arrows and driver also, with his own shafts.
Mbh.7.196.10984	Hearing these words of the Panchala prince, the mighty Satyaki held fast in Bhima's clasp, sighing like a snake, began to tremble.
Mbh.7.198.11063	As one cannot perceive a fire if it penetrates into the sun or the sun if it enters into a fire, even so none could perceive that energy which penetrated into Bhima's body.
Mbh.7.198.11150	Piercing next the driver of' Bhima's car with six arrows, Aswatthaman cut off Bhimasena's bow and standard with a couple of arrows.
Mbh.7.198.11164	Gold-winged arrows, whetted on stone and engraved with Bhima's name shrouded Drona's son, like gathering masses of clouds shrouding the sun.
Mbh.7.198.11174	Then Drona's son, O king, cutting off Bhima's bow by means of his arrows, and filled with rage, struck the Pandava in the chest with many keen shafts.
Mbh.7.198.11183	Indeed, those terrible shafts adorned with gold, shot from the bow of Drona's son, coursed incessantly towards Bhima's car.
Mbh.7.198.11186	Bhima's large and formidable bow of golden back, incessantly drawn in that battle, looked resplendent like a second bow of Indra.
Mbh.7.198.11193	Then Drona's son that warrior acquainted with the highest weapons, quickly destroying that arrowy shower by the illusion of his own weapons, cut off Bhima's bow in that encounter.
Mbh.7.198.11198	Then Drona's son, O monarch, with a straight shaft, pierced the forehead of Bhima's driver.
Mbh.7.198.11200	The driver of the Bhima's car having fallen into a swoon, the steeds, O king, began to fly away with great speed, in the very sight of all the bowmen.
Mbh.8.15.637	Similarly, O king, Bhima's driver bore away from the battle-field on his car, the son of Pandu, that scorcher of foes, who was repeatedly falling into a swoon
Mbh.8.50.2856	Then Karna, with a number of arrows, cut in twain Bhima's bow at the handle.
Mbh.8.51.2895	With another broad-headed arrow of great sharpness, he also cut off Bhima's bow.
Mbh.8.51.2906	With one arrow he then cut off Bhimasena's standard, and with another broad-headed arrow he despatched Bhima's driver to the presence of Yama.
Mbh.8.51.2929	Then Satyaki, of immeasurable soul, O Bharata, placing himself on the side of Bhima's car, began to afflict Karna who was in front of Bhima.
Mbh.8.60.3528	The Pancala heroes headed by Dhrishtadyumna are slaying thousands of their foes, viz, the great car-warriors of the Dhartarashtra army already sinking in the ocean of Bhima's weapons.
Mbh.8.76.4571	Thus cut off into two or three fragments with Bhima's arrows, those shafts, equipped with golden wings, of his enemies, fell down on the earth.
Mbh.8.76.4572	Then, O king, amongst those foremost of Kshatriyas, struck with Bhima's shafts, the elephants and cars and horse and foot, set up a loud wail, O monarch, that resembled the din made by mountains when riven with thunder.
Mbh.8.76.4573	Thus struck by Bhima, those foremost of Kshatriyas, their limbs pierced with Bhima's powerful shafts, rushed against Bhima in that battle from every side, like new-fledged birds towards a tree.
Mbh.8.77.4661	Seeing his mightiest soldiers thus afflicted by Bhimasena, O Bharata, king Duryodhana addressed all his troops and great bowmen, O bull of Bharata's race, commanding them to slay Bhima in that battle, since upon Bhima's fall he would regard the Pandava troops already exterminated.
Mbh.8.77.4688	Then Shakuni, O monarch, sped a number of cloth-yard shafts equipped with wings of gold and whetted on stone, at the left side of Bhima's chest.
Mbh.8.77.4694	With two of those straight and broad-headed arrows, O monarch, he struck Bhima himself, with one he cut off Bhima's standard, and with two, his umbrella.
Mbh.8.77.4697	That dart, restless as the tongue of a snake, hurled from Bhima's arms, speedily fell upon the car of the high-souled son of Subala.
Mbh.8.83.5049	With a single shaft he cut off Bhima's bow, and then with six shafts he pierced his foe's driver.
Mbh.8.84.5105	Then, O king, great fear entered the heart of Karna at sight of Bhima's prowess which resembled that of the Destroyer himself unto living creatures.
Mbh.8.84.5144	The steedless son of Madri, thus afflicted by Karna's son, sprang upon Bhima's car like a lion springing upon a mountain summit, in the sight of Dhananjaya.
Mbh.9.12.718	Similarly, though struck repeatedly with the force of Bhima's mace, Shalya, O king, moved not, like a mountain assailed by an elephant with his tusks.
Mbh.9.23.1596	Struck with Bhima's mace, those elephants, running off from him, fell down with cries of pain, like wingless mountains.
Mbh.9.55.3989	Adopting the manoeuvre called Kausika, and repeatedly jumping up, Duryodhana, properly marking the descent of Bhima's mace, baffled the latter.
Mbh.9.55.4012	By the descent of his mace, whose violence resembled that of the thunder, he had fractured Bhima's coat of mail.
