Mbh.1.168.8605	The Brahmana continued, Then Rama of Bhrigu's race, saying, So be it' gave all his weapons unto Drona, who obtaining them regarded himself as crowned with success.

Mbh.3.99.5206	Lomasa said, Listen, O king, to the history of Rama the son of Dasaratha and Rama of Bhrigu's line gifted with intelligence.
Mbh.3.99.5209	It was then that Rama of Bhrigu's line, the son of Richika by Renuka, hearing of Rama the son of Dasaratha, of spotless deeds, went to Ayodhya, impelled by curiosity, and taking with him that celestial bow so fatal to the Kshatriyas, for ascertaining the prowess of Dasaratha's son.
Mbh.3.99.5210	And Dasaratha, hearing that Rama of Bhrigu's race had arrived on the confines of his domains, set his own son Rama to receive the hero with respect.
Mbh.3.99.5211	And beholding Dasaratha's son approach and stand before him with ready weapons, Rama of Bhrigu's line smilingly addressed him, O son of Kunti, saying, O king, O exalted one, string, if thou canst, with all thy mighty, this bow which in my hands was made the instrument of destroying the Kshatriya race'

Mbh.3.99.5217	At this, Rama the son of Dasaratha, took in anger from the hands of Rama of Bhrigu's line that celestial bow that had dealt death to the foremost of Kshatriyas.
Mbh.3.99.5219	And Rama, the son of Dasaratha, then, addressing Rama of Bhrigu's said, Here, I have strung this bow.
Mbh.3.99.5223	O son of Bhrigu's race, thou art full of vanity.

Mbh.3.115.5923	Akritavrana said, With pleasure shall I recite to thee that excellent story, O Bharata's son, O chief of kings, the story of the godlike deeds of Rama, the son of Jamadagni, who traced his origin to Bhrigu's race.
Mbh.3.115.5944	But, O Bhrigu's son, a reverend saint like thee cannot be asked to offer the same.
Mbh.3.116.5987	And the delight of Bhrigu's race having thus obtained Renuka for his wife, took his residence with her in a hermitage, and began to practice penances, being assisted by her.
Mbh.3.116.6024	And when they had gone away, and when Jamadagni had breathed his last, Rama, the delight of Bhrigu's race, returned to the hermitage, bearing in his arms, fuel for religious rites.
Mbh.3.117.6036	There the mightiest scion of Bhrigu's race offered libations to his forefathers, the Bhrigus, and Richika appeared to him in a visible form, and spake to him words of counsel.
Mbh.3.121.6213	And Bhrigu's son of severe austerities conceived anger towards the great Indra; and the mighty Chyavana paralysed Indra, and for his wife obtained the princess, Sukanya
Mbh.3.122.6231	She surrounded by her maids, and decked out with jewels fit for the celestials, while walking about, approached the anthill where Bhrigu's son was seated.
Mbh.3.122.6235	And Bhrigu's son endued with intelligence beheld her wandering like lightning, without her maids, and wearing a single piece of cloth and decked with ornaments.
Mbh.3.122.6238	Then seeing the eyes of Bhrigu's son from the ant-hill, Sukanya from curiosity and losing her sense, said, What is this,
Mbh.3.122.6251	Thereupon taking it for a glow-worm I neared it, and pierced it with thorns; Hearing this Saryati immediately came to the ant-hill, and there saw Bhrigu's son, old both in years and austerities.

Mbh.3.124.6322	And as he was about to launch it, his arm was paralysed by Bhrigu's son.
Mbh.3.125.6338	Then the lord of the celestials, tortured with fright, spake to Chyavana saying, O Bhrigu's son!
Mbh.3.125.6347	And, O Bhrigu's son, I have done this but to spread the fame of thy powers, and my object was to give thee an occasion for displaying thy powers.
Mbh.3.126.6411	the great saint who was the delight of Bhrigu's race, had officiated in a religious ceremony, with the object that a son might be born to Saudyumni.
Mbh.3.187.9395	O Markandeya of Bhrigu's race, rest thou here as long as thou wishest.
Mbh.3.189.9510	And Yudhishthira said, O thou foremost of all speakers, O Muni of Bhrigu's race, that which we have heard from thee about the destruction and re-birth of all things at the end of the Yuga, is, indeed, full of wonder!

Mbh.3.216.11054	O noble scion of Bhrigu's race, I desire to learn all this accurately as it happened.
Mbh.4.21.866	In olden days Sarjati's daughter, the beautiful Sukanya, followed into the forest Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, whose mind was under complete control, and over whom, while engaged in ascetic meditation, the ants had built a hill.
Mbh.5.178.7942	Go, therefore, unto that foremost one of Bhrigu's race who resembleth the Yuga-fire itself in energy!
Mbh.5.179.8017	And after their discourse was over, the sage Hotravahana opportunately said in a sweet voice these words of grave import unto that foremost one of Bhrigu's race, viz, Rama of mighty strength, O Rama, this is my daughter's daughter, O lord, being the daughter of the king of Kasi.
Mbh.5.179.8030	And that perpetuator of Bhrigu's line, thinking inwardly of this, sat long in silence, filled with pity.
Mbh.5.179.8037	Hearing these words of Rama, Amva said, Dismissed I was by Bhishma, O son of Bhrigu's race, as soon as he heard that my heart had previously been freely given away to the ruler of the Salwas.
Mbh.5.179.8040	Reflecting on all this, with the aid of thy own understanding, it behoveth thee, O son of Bhrigu's race, to do that which should be done in view of these circumstances.
Mbh.5.179.8042	Slay that Bhishma, O thou of mighty arms, for whose sake, O tiger of Bhrigu's race, overwhelmed with such distress, I suffer such poignant misery!
Mbh.5.179.8043	Bhishma, O thou of Bhrigu's race, is covetous, and mean, and proud of his victory.
Mbh.5.180.8062	If summoned to battle, Bhishma cometh to the encounter and sayeth, I am vanquished, or, if he obeyeth thy words, then that which this maiden seeketh will be accomplished, O son of Bhrigu's race, and the words spoken by thee, O hero, will also, O lord, be true!
Mbh.5.180.8066	Approaching him, O son of Bhrigu's race, encounter him now in battle'
Mbh.5.180.8080	And those high-souled ascetics, with that foremost one of Bhrigu's race at head, having arrived on the banks of the stream of Saraswati, quartered themselves there
Mbh.5.181.8093	O thou of Bhrigu's race, it was to myself that she said, I am Salwa's!
Mbh.5.181.8102	I am, therefore, O thou of Bhrigu's race, thy disciple!
Mbh.5.181.8179	My mother then, the great River, wending to Rama, began, for my sake, to beseech the Rishi of Bhrigu's race.
Mbh.5.181.8186	Just at this time, the mighty ascetic Rama, that foremost one of Bhrigu's race, appeared in Bhishma's sight.
Mbh.5.182.8203	And he, of Bhrigu's race, repeatedly summoning me to battle, saying, Come, come, gladden my heart.
Mbh.5.185.8310	SECTION CLXXXV Bhishma said, Next morning, O king, when the sun rose brightly, the combat between myself and him of Bhrigu's race, again, commenced.
Mbh.5.185.8318	Indeed, even when endangered at the death of my charioteer I was lamenting for him, he of Bhrigu's race, drawing the bow with strength, pierced me deep with an arrow!
Mbh.5.185.8349	The great Rishis then that stood there were filled with pity at the sight, while he, however, of Bhrigu's race, was filled with great wrath.
Mbh.5.188.8409	Notwithstanding this, I still aimed that weapon at Bhrigu's descendant.
Mbh.5.188.8421	They stood surrounding him there, and addressed him in these words of consolation, O sire, never display such rashness again, the rashness, viz, of engaging in battle with Bhishma, or especially with any Kshatriya, O descendant of Bhrigu's race, to fight is the duty of a Kshatriya!
Mbh.5.188.8428	O invincible one, throw thy bow aside, and practice ascetic austerities, O thou of Bhrigu's race!
Mbh.5.188.8455	Be pacified, therefore, O son of Bhrigu's race!
Mbh.5.188.8458	Saying these words while they stood obstructing the field, the Pitris caused that descendant of Bhrigu's race to place aside his weapons.
Mbh.5.189.8482	I will, however, O perpetuator of Bhrigu's race, go thither, O thou endued with wealth of asceticism, where I may obtain the means to myself slay Bhishma in battle'
Mbh.5.189.8484	Then that foremost one of Bhrigu's race, accompanied by those ascetics, bidding me farewell, departed, O Bharata, for the mountains whence he had come.
Mbh.7.68.2925	And when many foremost of Brahmans uttered exclamations, mentioning the name of Rama of Bhrigu's race then the valiant son of Jamadagni, proceeding against the Kashmiras, the Daradas, the Kuntis, the Kshudrakas, the Malavas, the Angas, the Vangas, the Kalingas, the Videhas, the Tamraliptakas, the Rakshovahas, the Vitahotras, the Trigartas, the Martikavatas, counting by thousand, slew them all by means of his whetted shafts.
Mbh.7.68.2927	Creating a deluge of blood and filling many lakes also with blood as red as Indrajopakas or the wild fruit called Vandujiva, and bringing all the eighteen islands of which the earth is composed under his subjection, that son of Bhrigu's race performed a hundred sacrifices of great merit, all of which he completed and in all of which the presents he made unto the Brahmanas were profuse.
Mbh.8.2.40	That hero endued with great energy and born of the Vasus themselves, who slew every day car-warriors clad in mail, that high-souled one unto whom Bhrigu's son had given the highest weapons, that warrior who in his childhood had been trained in the science of the bow by Rama, alas, even he hath been slain by Yajnasena's son Shikhandi protected by the Pandavas!
Mbh.8.5.153	Even as Mahendra slew Vritra, and Rama slew Ravana; even as Krishna slew Naraka or Mura in battle; even as the mighty Rama of Bhrigu's race slew the heroic Kartavirya, invincible in battle, with all his kinsmen and friends, after fighting a terrible battle celebrated through the three worlds; even as Skanda slew the Asura Mahisha, and Rudra slew the Asura Andhaka, even so hath Arjuna, O king, in single combat, slain, with all his kinsmen, that foremost of smiters, viz, Karna, who was invincible in battle and upon whom the Dhartarashtras had placed their hopes of victory, and who was the great cause of the hostility with the Pandavas!
Mbh.8.31.1400	That bow, respected by all, Sakra gave to Bhrigu's son Rama.
Mbh.8.31.1401	That celestial and foremost of bows Bhrigu's son gave to me.
Mbh.8.31.1404	It was with that bow that the Earth was subjugated thrice seven times by Bhrigu's son.
Mbh.8.34.1807	At last Mahadeva, pleased with the high-souled son of Bhrigu's race, described him, in the presence of his divine spouse, as possessed of many virtues: This Rama, of firm vows is ever devoted to me'
Mbh.8.34.1834	If Karna had any fault, O lord of Earth, the delighter of Bhrigu's race would never have given him his celestial weapons.
Mbh.8.73.4467	The awful form of that weapon which was obtained by Karna from that foremost of sages, viz, Rama of Bhrigu's race, hath been displayed.
Mbh.9.45.3380	Agni also, from Bhrigu's curse, became an eater of everything, as Bhrigu, that utterer of Brahma, had said.
Mbh.9.47.3499	The highly blessed Rama of Bhrigu's race, endued with great ascetic merit, repeatedly subjugated the Earth and slew all the foremost of Kshatriyas.
Mbh.12.2.85	Approaching Rama, he bent his head unto him and said, I am a Brahmana of Bhrigu's race'
Mbh.12.3.106	SECTION III Narada said, That tiger of Bhrigu's race viz, Rama, was well-pleased with the might of Karna's arms, his affection for him, his self-restraint, and the services he did unto his preceptor.
Mbh.12.3.108	Having acquired a knowledge of that weapon, Karna began to pass his days happily in Bhrigu's retreat, and endued with wonderful prowess, he devoted himself with great ardour to the science of weapons.
Mbh.12.3.114	Though the pain was intolerable, Karna bore it with heroic patience, and continued to hold Bhrigu's son on his lap, without quivering in the least and without manifesting any sign of pain.
Mbh.12.3.142	Thus asked, Karna, fearing to be cursed, and seeking to gratify him, said these words, O thou of Bhrigu's race, know me for a Suta, a race that has sprung from the intermixture of Brahmanas with Kshatriyas.
Mbh.12.3.144	O thou of Bhrigu's race, be gratified with my poor self that has acted from the desire of obtaining weapons.
Mbh.12.3.147	Unto the cheerless and trembling Karna, prostrated with joined hands upon earth, that foremost one of Bhrigu's race, smiling though filled with wrath, answered, Since thou hast, from avarice of weapons, behaved here with falsehood, therefore, O wretch, this Brahma weapon shalt not dwell in thy remembrance.
Mbh.12.4.153	SECTION IV Narada said, Having thus obtained weapons from him of Bhrigu's race, Karna began to pass his days in great joy, in the company of Duryodhana, O bull of Bharata's race!
Mbh.12.27.1210	That scion of Kuru's race who with bow and shaft in hand had contended in fierce battle for many days with Rama himself of Bhrigu's line on the field sanctified by Kuru, that son of Ganga, that hero, who, at Baranasi, for the sake of brides, had, on a single car, challenged to battle the assembled Kshatriyas of the world, he who had burnt by the energy of his weapons that irresistible and foremost of kings, viz, Ugrayudha, alas, that hero has been caused by me to be slain in battle.
Mbh.12.37.1980	Having practised rigid vows, that mighty-armed one acquired a knowledge of all the Vedas and their branches, from Vasishtha and from Chyavana of Bhrigu's race.
Mbh.12.46.2262	I was thinking of him who fought continually for three and twenty days with Rama himself of Bhrigu's race and whom Rama was unable to overcome.

Mbh.12.49.2570	Her lord of Bhrigu's race, O delighter of the Kurus, became highly gratified with her for the purity of her behaviour.
Mbh.12.49.2572	Calling his wife, Richika of Bhrigu's race said, This portion of the sanctified food should be taken by thee, and this other portion by thy mother.
Mbh.12.49.2576	Having said these words unto his wife, the blessed Richika of Bhrigu's race, setting his heart on penances, proceeded to the woods.
Mbh.12.49.2601	Vasudeva continued, Then Satyavati brought forth a son in Bhrigu's race who was devoted to penances and characterised by tranquil pursuits, viz, Jamadagni of regulated vows.
Mbh.12.49.2615	Possessed of great energy, Apava, O mighty-armed king, seeing his retreat consumed by the powerful Kshatriya, cursed that monarch in wrath, saying, Since, O Arjuna, without excepting these my specious woods, thou hast burnt them, therefore, Rama of Bhrigu's race will lop off thy thousand arm.
Mbh.12.56.3069	The following verse was sung in days of old by Usanas of Bhrigu's race, in the narrative called Ramacharita, on the subject, O Bharata, of kingly duties: One should first select a king in whose dominions to live.
Mbh.12.142.8699	Bhishma said, Listen, O king, to this excellent story that cleanses the hearer of every sin, the story, viz, that Bhrigu's son Rama had recited to king Muchukunda.
Mbh.12.142.8700	This very question, O son of Pritha had been put to Bhrigu's son by Muchukunda with due humility.
Mbh.12.209.12696	Bhrigu's son Sukra first acquired the science of morality that is so beneficial for the universe.
Mbh.12.289.18151	Of firm vows and honoured by all, Usanas, that descendant of Bhrigu's race, became engaged in doing what was disagreeable to the deities for an adequate cause
Mbh.12.289.18170	The puissant and high-souled Usanas of Bhrigu's race, entering the stomach of Maheswara, began to wander there'
Mbh.12.309.19467	SECTION CCCX Bhishma said, Once on a time a king of Janaka's race, while ranging the uninhabited forests in pursuit of deer, saw a superior Brahmana or Rishi of Bhrigu's race.
Mbh.12.339.21955	Appearing in the forms of a swan, a tortoise, a fish, O foremost of regenerate ones, I shall then display myself as a boar, then as a Man-lion Nrisingha, then as a dwarf, then as Rama of Bhrigu's race, then as Rama, the son of Dasaratha, then as Krishna the scion of the Sattwata race, and lastly as Kalki.
Mbh.12.342.22446	After the deities ceased, the Grandsire replied, The great Rishi Dadhichi of Bhrigu's race is now engaged in performing severe austerities.
Mbh.12.359.23786	Hearing that the Rishi Rama of Bhrigu's race had entered the inner apartments of their palace for bringing away the calf of the Homa cow of their sire, the sons of Karttaviryya, yielding to wrath, took such entry as an insult to their royal house, and as the consequence thereof, they met with destruction at the hands of Rama.
Mbh.12.363.23887	Bhishma said, Having saluted that foremost of Nagas in this way, the Brahmana named Dharmaranya, firmly resolved to follow the Unccha mode of life, proceeded to the presence, O king, of Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, from desire of being formally instructed and initiated in that vow
Mbh.12.363.23893	On the occasion, again, of my dreadful encounter with Rama of Bhrigu's race on the field of Kurukshetra, the celestial Vasus, O king, recited this history to me
Mbh.13.4.288	Bhishma said, Then that mighty son of Chyavana who was the foremost of Bhrigu's race, besought the deity Varuna, the son of Aditi, who was the lord of all the waters,
Mbh.13.4.290	The god Varuna, the son of Aditi, said to that excellent scion of Bhrigu's race, Be it so.
Mbh.13.4.324	Regaining her senses and bowing unto her lord with head bent, the daughter of Gadhi said to her husband, that foremost one of Bhrigu's race, O regenerate Rishi, O thou that art foremost amongst those versed in Brahma, do thou take pity on me, thy wife, who is thus appeasing thee and so order that a Kshatriya son may not be born unto me.
Mbh.13.14.1334	It was with this weapon that Rama of Bhrigu's race slew in dreadful battle the great Karttaviryya who was the ruler of all the world.
Mbh.13.17.2764	Tandi communicated it to Sukra, and Sukra of Bhrigu's race communicated it to Gautama.
Mbh.13.22.3227	Bhishma continued, Having spoken these words, those four persons, each of whom is endued with immeasurable energy, viz, the goddess Earth, Kasyapa, Agni, and Bhrigu's son armed with weapons, quickly went away'
Mbh.13.40.4369	Summoning his favourite disciple whose name was Vipula and who was of Bhrigu's race, he said as follows: Devasarman said, I shall leave home for a while in order to perform a sacrifice.
Mbh.13.40.4373	O foremost one of Bhrigu's race, that Indra assumes various disguises'
Mbh.13.40.4406	O foremost one of Bhrigu's race, do thou take every care for seeing that the chief of the celestials may not defile this spouse of mine like a wretched dog licking the Havi kept in view of a sacrifice.
Mbh.13.40.4429	Vipula of Bhrigu's race took great care for accomplishing his purpose.
Mbh.13.41.4455	That scion of Bhrigu's race, of mighty energy, judging from the indications afforded by the body of his preceptor's wife that she was not unwilling to receive Indra with kindness, restrained her limbs and senses all the more effectually, O king, by his Yoga-powers.
Mbh.13.50.5122	In days of yore O Chief of Bharata's race, the great Rishi Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, always observant of high vows, became desirous of leading for some time the mode of life called Udavasa and set himself to commence it.
Mbh.13.51.5197	Nahusha said, Do thou, O illustrious one, say what the price is of that great Rishi of Bhrigu's race.
Mbh.13.51.5207	Proceeding then to the presence of Bhrigu's son, Chyavana, of rigid vows, h e addressed him thus, O monarch, for gratifying him to the best of his ability'
Mbh.13.51.5248	After this, the two Rishis, viz, the one born of a cow and the other who was Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, gladdened king Nahusha by granting him many boons.
Mbh.13.52.5274	Endued with great intelligence, Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, that best of ascetics beheld with his spiritual eye the stain that would affect his own race in consequence of some descendant of his becoming wedded to Kshatriya practice.
Mbh.13.52.5292	Addressed in these words by the king, Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, filled with great delight, said unto Kusika these words in reply'
Mbh.13.53.5348	Bhrigu's son, however, saw that the royal couple were totally unmoved.
Mbh.13.53.5371	Soon, however, Chyavana of Bhrigu's race set fire to all the things and reduced them to ashes.
Mbh.13.53.5416	Bhishma continued, The perpetuator of Bhrigu's race beholding the king and the queen totally unmoved, began to give away very largely wealth obtained from the king's treasury as if he were a second Lord of Treasures.
Mbh.13.53.5459	Meanwhile, the spreader of the feats of Bhrigu's race, viz, the Rishi possessed of the wealth of penances, converted, by his Yoga-power, that delightful wood on the bank of the Ganga into a retreat full of wealth of every kind and adorned with every variety of jewels and gems in consequence of which it surpassed in beauty and splendour the very abode of the chief of the celestials
Mbh.13.54.5497	All this is due to the grace of Bhrigu's son and the puissance of his penances.
Mbh.13.54.5520	That I have not yet, O chief of Bhrigu's race been consumed, is sufficient!
Mbh.13.55.5544	In thinking of all these acts of thine, O perpetuator of Bhrigu's race, I became stupefied repeatedly.
Mbh.13.56.5608	There will then spring in Bhrigu's race a Rishi of the name of Urva.
Mbh.13.56.5616	That tiger of Bhrigu's race will bear that science in his mind.
Mbh.13.56.5636	The birth of Rama of Bhrigu's race and of Viswamitra of Kusika's race happened in the way that Chyavana had indicated
Mbh.13.84.7509	Repairing unto Rishis conversant with every branch of learning as also the deities, Rama of Bhrigu's race questioned them.
Mbh.13.84.7541	All these beings, O son of Bhrigu's race, shine in splendour, with the aid of gold, after converting it into crowns and armlets and diverse kinds of ornaments.
