Consciousness

Mbh.12.181.10930	Mahat created Consciousness.
Mbh.12.181.10938	For this He came to be called by the name of Consciousness.
Mbh.12.181.10954	He lives in Consciousness, and is incapable of being known by persons of uncleansed souls.
Mbh.12.181.10955	Asked by thee I have now told thee of Him who created Consciousness for evoking into existence all created objects, and from whom this universe has sprung'
Mbh.12.184.11119	That Prana is the living creature, the universal soul, the eternal Being, and the Mind, Intellect, and Consciousness of all living creatures, as also all the objects of the senses
Mbh.12.186.11227	The learned say that the Soul has Consciousness and exists with the attributes of life.
Mbh.12.206.12475	While thus floating upon the waters, that foremost of all beings, that refuge of every kind of energy and splendour, created Consciousness, the first-born of beings in the universe.
Mbh.12.206.12476	We have heard that He created Consciousness along with the Mind, Consciousness which is the refuge of all created things.
Mbh.12.206.12477	That Consciousness upholds all creatures and both the past and the future.
Mbh.12.206.12478	After that great Being, O mighty-armed one, viz, Consciousness, had sprung, an exceedingly beautiful lotus, possessed of effulgence like the Sun's, grew out of the navel of the Supreme Being floating on the waters.
Mbh.12.209.12708	The Understanding produces Consciousness.
Mbh.12.209.12709	From Consciousness proceeds Space.
Mbh.12.211.12817	As Time, under its own laws, always displays the phenomena of the seasons one after another, even so one should know that Consciousness in all creatures is the inducer of acts
Mbh.12.211.12818	Tamas from which proceeds Consciousness should be known as productive of delusions.
Mbh.12.212.12873	Darkness which is unmanifest overspreads itself on Knowledge, and causes the phenomena of Intelligence and Consciousness
Mbh.12.212.12874	That knowledge possessing the attributes of Intelligence and Consciousness has been said to be the seed of embodied Souls.
Mbh.12.212.12878	Whatever senses while it is there, are awakened by past acts as the operating cause, become generated in Consciousness in consequence of the mind co-existing with attachments
Mbh.12.215.13017	Thus dwelling in pure Consciousness which is the soul of all things; it is regarded by the learned as transcending both Consciousness and all things in the universe
Mbh.12.217.13193	The separate Consciousness that is the result of rebirth is according to what may be inferred from the Buddhistic theory of life different from the Consciousness that had preceded it in a previous life.
Mbh.12.217.13194	The manner, however, in which the rise or appearance of that separate Consciousness is explained by that theory does not seem to be consistent or reasonable.
Mbh.12.217.13195	The Consciousness as it existed in the previous life was the very reverse of eternal, being only transitory, extending as it did till dissolution of the body.
Mbh.12.217.13196	That which had an end cannot be taken as the cause for the production of a second Consciousness appearing after the occurrence of the end.
Mbh.12.217.13197	If, again, the very loss of the previous Consciousness be regarded as the cause of the production of the second Consciousness, then upon the death of a human body being brought about by a heavy bludgeon, a second body would arise from the body that is thus deprived of animation
Mbh.12.217.13199	If for the purpose of avoiding these objections, the followers of this doctrine assert the existence of a Soul that is permanent and unto which each new Consciousness attaches, they expose themselves to the new objection that that permanent substance, by being overcome with decrepitude, and with death that brings about destruction, may in time be itself weakened and destroyed.
Mbh.12.218.13296	Like again to what occurs in dreamless slumber, in Emancipation also, subjective and objective existences from Consciousness to objects of the senses, all included, which have their origin in one's acts, are all discarded.
Mbh.12.230.14333	He then causes Consciousness to spring up, whence proceeds Mind which is identical with the Manifest
Mbh.12.235.14569	Through these the Yogin gradually acquires mastery over Earth, Wind, Space, Water, Fire, Consciousness, and Understanding.
Mbh.12.247.15228	All the three states that exist viz, Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas, inhere to these three viz, Mind, Understanding, and Consciousness and like the spokes of a car-wheel acting in consequence of their attachment to the circumference of the wheel, they follow the different objects that exist in Mind, Understanding, and Consciousness
Mbh.12.253.15436	Upon the fruits of those acts rest those citizens along with the chiefs of the city viz, Mind, Understanding, and Consciousness
Mbh.12.279.17213	Freed as He is from limitations of every kind such as the possession of attributes would imply, he suffers himself to be invested with Avidya and awakened to Consciousness, Kesava of Supreme Soul creates all things.
Mbh.12.285.17880	Having created these, the Supreme Deity, O Bharata, united with them Sattwa, Rajas, Tamas, Time, Consciousness of functions, and Mind forming the sixth
Mbh.12.302.19029	Endued with mighty energy, He first creates Consciousness and that Great Being called Prajapati endued with Consciousness.
Mbh.12.302.19032	The creation of Mahan or Virat and Consciousness, by Hiranyagarbha, is the creation of Ignorance
Mbh.12.306.19254	It is heard by us that from Mahat flows the third principle called Consciousness.
Mbh.12.306.19255	The Sankhyas blessed with sight of the Soul say that from Consciousness flow the five subtile essence of sound, form, touch, taste, and scent.
Mbh.12.307.19309	Of the five subtile essences and Consciousness, Consciousness constitutes Vidya.
Mbh.12.307.19310	Of Consciousness and Mahat, Mahat, O king, is Vidya.
Mbh.12.308.19412	When Jiva, who is endued with Chetana and Unintelligent Prakriti, loses all Consciousness of a distinct or individual Self, then does he, losing his multifariousness, resumes his Oneness.
Mbh.12.310.19525	The Unmanifest or original Prakriti, Mahat, Consciousness, and the five subtile elements of Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light, these eight are known by the name of Prakriti.
Mbh.12.310.19533	The learned say this to be the first creation relating to Pradhana or Prakriti: From Mahat, O king of men, is produced Consciousness.
Mbh.12.310.19535	From Consciousness hath sprung the Mind which is the essence of sound and the others that are the attributes of space and the rest.
Mbh.12.310.19536	This is the third creation, said to relate to Consciousness.
Mbh.12.311.19559	Brahmana, called Mahan, then creates Consciousness called Bhuta and endued with excellent essence
Mbh.12.311.19563	The puissant Consciousness created the five Bhutas.
Mbh.12.311.19565	This Consciousness who is a Great Being and from whom springs the third creating, has five thousand Kalpas for his night, and his day is of equal duration.
Mbh.12.312.19598	Then that Lord of all creatures, viz, Consciousness, who is the Soul of every-thing, swallows up the Mind.
Mbh.12.312.19599	Consciousness, in his turn, is swallowed up by the Mahat-soul who is conversant with the Past, the Present, and the Future.
Mbh.12.313.19620	Consciousness is Adhyatma; conviction in one's identity with Prakriti is its Adhibhuta; and Mahat or Buddhi is its Adhidaivata.
Mbh.12.316.19732	The mind should then be fixed on Consciousness, O king, Consciousness should next be fixed on intelligence or Buddhi, and Buddhi, should then be fixed on Prakriti.
Mbh.12.318.19974	They who wait upon Consciousness, attain to the spot that belongs to Consciousness.
Mbh.12.320.20196	After this, Consciousness of self is another principle numbering the fourteenth.
Mbh.12.329.21037	These seventeen, which are known by the name of the Unmanifest, with all those that are called Manifest, viz, the five objects of the five senses, that is to say, form, taste, sound, touch, and scent, with Consciousness and the Understanding, form the well-known tale of four and twenty.
Mbh.12.339.21860	He is Consciousness, He is Iswara Supreme Lord.
Mbh.12.340.22130	From Unmanifest Prakriti has flowed Consciousness and the three great attributes of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas.
Mbh.12.347.23001	Mind merges into the Manifest otherwise called Consciousness or Ego.
Mbh.12.347.23016	From this springs the four-faced Brahma representing the Consciousness of Anirudha.
Mbh.13.14.1193	Tell me, O Sakra, who else than Siva could create Mind, Understanding, Consciousness or Ego, the Tanmatras, and the senses?
Mbh.13.17.2642	Thou art the sprout of Jiva, being of the form of Consciousness which springs up after Mahattatwa.
