| Mbh.1.210.10319 | In olden days, a mighty Daitya named Nikumbha, endued with great energy and strength was born in the race of the great Asura, Hiranyakasipu. |
| Mbh.1.211.10367 | Obtaining the assent of their friends and relatives, of the elders of the Daitya race and of their ministers of state, and performing the preliminary rites of departure, they set out in the night when the constellation Magha was in the ascendant. |
| Mbh.1.211.10368 | The brothers set out with a large Daitya force clad in mail and armed with maces and axes and lances and clubs. |
| Mbh.1.211.10369 | The Daitya heroes set out on their expedition with joyous hearts, the charanas bards chanting auspicious panegyrics indicative of their future triumphs. |
| Mbh.1.211.10370 | Furious in war, the Daitya brothers, capable of going everywhere at will, ascended the skies and went to the region of the celestials. |
| Mbh.1.211.10372 | Endued with fierce prowess, the Daitya heroes soon subjugated the region of Indra, and vanquishing the diverse tribes of Yakshas and Rakshasas and every creature ranging the skies, came away. |
| Mbh.1.226.11090 | And the lord Varuna, after this, gave unto Krishna a mace, of name Kaumodaki, capable of slaying every Daitya and producing, when hurled, a roar like that of the thunder. |
| Mbh.1.228.11157 | That slayer of foes, Krishna, also, endued with great energy, made a great slaughter of the Daitya and the Danava with his discus. |
| Mbh.2.66.2899 | Thus addressed by Sudhanwan, the Daitya, trembling like a leaf of the fig tree, went to Kasyapa of great energy, for taking counsel with him. |
| Mbh.3.16.832 | And when the wicked general of Salwa had left the field, a mighty Daitya called Vegavat rushed at my son! |
| Mbh.3.19.954 | But cutting into pieces those powerful Daitya weapons shot at him in mid-career by means of his Brahma weapon, Pradyumna discharged winged shafts of other kings. |
| Mbh.3.19.955 | And these delighting in blood, warding off the shafts of Daitya, pierced his head, bosom and face. |
| Mbh.3.96.5059 | Thus questioned, Lomasa said, O son of Kuru race, there was in the city called Manimati, in days of yore, a Daitya named Ilwala, whose younger brother was Vatapi. |
| Mbh.3.96.5071 | And it was thus, O monarch, that the wicked-hearted Daitya Ilwala, having fed Brahmanas, frequently took away their lives. |
| Mbh.3.99.5173 | And the Daitya then with a sad heart, gave away much wealth and that car, unto which were yoked two steeds called Virava and Surava. |
| Mbh.3.102.5330 | And, O best of male beings, assuming also the form of half-man and half-lion, thou hadst slain in days of yore that ancient Daitya of mighty prowess known by the name of Hiranyakasipu. |
| Mbh.3.141.7184 | O best of men, what ye see before you, of vast proportions like unto a mountain and beautiful as the Kailasa cliff, is a collection of the bones of the mighty Daitya Naraka, Being placed on a mountain, it looketh like one. |
| Mbh.3.141.7185 | The Daitya was slain by that Supreme Soul, the eternal God Vishnu, for the good of the lord of celestials. |
| Mbh.3.200.10326 | It is owing to thy prowess, O God, that the celestials obtained peace and happiness and, O thou of great effulgence, it was the anger that destroyed hundred great Daitya chiefs. |
| Mbh.3.201.10382 | Bearing that invincible Vaishnava energy in thyself, slay thou, O great king, that Daitya of fierce prowess. |
| Mbh.3.202.10391 | Yudhishthira said, O holy one, O thou possessed of the wealth of asceticism, who was this Daitya of great energy? |
| Mbh.3.202.10393 | I desire to know all this; O thou possessed of the wealth of asceticism I never heard of this mighty Daitya before. |
| Mbh.3.203.10447 | And, O great king, the royal Kuvalaswa, filled with Yoga force, having extinguished those flames by the water that issued from his body, consumed that Daitya of wicked prowess with the celebrated weapon called Brahma for relieving the triple world of its fears, and the royal sage Kuvalaswa, having consumed that great Asura, that foe of the celestials and slayer of all enemies, by means of that weapon became like unto a second chief of the triple world and the high-souled king Kuvalaswa having slain the the Asura Dhundhu, became from that time known by the name of Dhundhumara and from that time he came to be regarded as invincible in battle, and the gods and the great Rishis who had come to witness that encounter were so far gratified with him that they addressed him saying, Ask thou a boon of us' |
| Mbh.3.203.10458 | It was thus, O best of king, that that great Daitya of the name Dhundhu, the son of Madhu and Kaitabha was slain by Kuvalaswa and it was for this also that king came to be called by the name of Dhundhumara. |
| Mbh.3.230.11662 | Then a powerful Danava, taking a huge mass of rock in his hands, came out of that terrible Daitya army. |
| Mbh.3.263.12876 | Methinks thou art a goddess, or a Yakshi, or a Danavi, or an excellent Apsara, or the wife of a Daitya, or a daughter of the Naga king, or a Rakshasi or the wife of Varuna, or of Yama, or of Soma, or of Kuvera, who, having assumed a human form, wanderest in these forests. |
| Mbh.3.270.13190 | Then that powerful king of wild beasts, half man, half lion, taking a leap in the air, instantly rent the Daitya in twain by means of his sharp claws. |
| Mbh.3.270.13191 | And the adorable lotus-eyed Lord of great effulgence, having thus slain the Daitya king for the well-being of all creatures, again took his birth in the womb of Aditi as son of Kasyapa. |
| Mbh.3.279.13647 | I am lord also of many Danava and Daitya ladies! |
| Mbh.3.280.13715 | It was, O Raghava, the abode of the Daitya Maya. |
| Mbh.3.308.15095 | When I encounter the Daitya in battle, this dart that is incapable of being baffled, hurled by my hand, destroyeth enemies by hundreds, and cometh back to my hand after achieving its purpose. |
| Mbh.5.22.954 | If my dull-headed son forbear to fight with those two, then may he fare well, else those two will consume the race of Kuru as Indra and Upendra consume the Daitya hosts. |
| Mbh.5.49.2807 | It was he who afflicted the Daitya city of Hiranyapura on the other side of the ocean, having vanquished in battle sixty thousands of Nivatakavachas. |
| Mbh.5.109.5021 | It was here that Raivata a Daitya, hearing the Sama hymns sung in a sweet voice, retired to the woods, leaving his wife and friends and kingdom. |
| Mbh.6.84.4442 | And then they rushed joyfully, O king, towards thy forces like the gods Indra and Upendra, O monarch, towards the Daitya host |
| Mbh.6.119.6527 | As Sakra scorched the Daitya host in battle, even so, O Bharata, did Bhishma scorch the Pandava host. |
| Mbh.7.11.412 | Putting forth his prowess, Madhava hurled unto the sea the Daitya city called Saubha, moving in the skies, protected by Salwa, and regarded as impregnable. |
| Mbh.7.21.998 | The slaughter that Drona caused among the Pandava troops was very great, resembling that caused by Vishnu himself, the adored of both the gods and Asuras, among the Daitya host. |
| Mbh.7.156.8429 | Thus addressed, Drona's son, and Kripa, and Salya, and that great car-warrior, viz, the son of Hridika, beholding the son of Kunti coming towards them like Sakra himself towards the Daitya host, all advanced against Partha for rescuing the Suta's son. |
| Mbh.8.25.1099 | Even as the chief of the celestials crushed the Daitya army, the son of Subala destroyed that army of the Pandavas |
| Mbh.8.33.1568 | Those three Daitya kings, soon assailing the three worlds with their energy, continued to dwell and reign, and began to say, Who is he called the Creator' |
| Mbh.8.33.1577 | In whatever form and whatever guise a Daitya might have been slain, if thrown into that lake, he was restored to life, in the self-same form and guise. |
| Mbh.12.123.7023 | In days of yore, the Daitya Prahlada, by the merit of his behaviour, snatched from the high-souled Indra his sovereignty and reduced the three worlds to subjection. |
| Mbh.12.123.7069 | Indeed, when this boon was indicated by the Brahmana, the Daitya chief thought the solicitor could not be a person of ordinary energy. |
| Mbh.12.123.7071 | Having, however, granted the boon, the Daitya chief became filled with grief. |
| Mbh.12.123.7073 | While the Daitya chief sat brooding over the matter, a flame of light issued out of his body. |
| Mbh.12.123.7081 | The Daitya chief addressed it, saying, Who art thou' |
| Mbh.12.123.7095 | The Daitya chief asked her and she answered him saying that she was the embodiment of Prosperity, adding, I dwelt in thee, O hero, O thou of prowess incapable of being baffled! |
| Mbh.12.222.13490 | What, O Daitya, was the state of thy mind then? |
| Mbh.12.226.13776 | Indra also, seeing Vali staying unmoved and fearless, addressed him from the back of his foremost of elephants, saying, How is it, O Daitya, that thou art so unmoved? |
| Mbh.12.278.17035 | Listen, O monarch, with undivided attention to the course of conduct that was followed by the Daitya Vritra after he became divested of all his prosperity. |
| Mbh.12.278.17049 | Then the illustrious Usanas addressed the Asura Vritra who was thus talking of the highest refuge of the creation, saying, O intelligent Daitya, why, O child, dost thou utter such foolish rhapsodies' |
| Mbh.12.279.17072 | Hearing these words, Sanatkumara uttered the following, fraught with grave import, upon the pre-eminent greatness of Vishnu unto the intelligent chief of the Danavas, Listen, O Daitya, to everything about the greatness of Vishnu. |
| Mbh.12.279.17101 | His arms, O Daitya, are the several points of the compass or the horizon. |
| Mbh.12.279.17125 | The period for which a particular creation exists is measured by many thousands of lakes in the following way, O Daitya! |
| Mbh.12.279.17145 | Jiva, O Daitya, having undergone thousands of births derived through the womb, attains to success |
| Mbh.12.279.17147 | The end again that creatures obtain is dependent oil their colour, and colour, in its turn, depends upon the character of the Time that sets in, O Daitya |
| Mbh.12.279.17148 | The stages of existence, O Daitya, through which Jiva must pass are not unlimited. |
| Mbh.12.280.17281 | Bhishma continued, When the great Asura or Daitya was overtaken by that fever born of Mahadeva's energy, the deities and the Rishis, filled with joy, uttered loud cheers, At the same time drums, and conchs of loud blare, and kettle drums and tabors began to beat and blow by thousands. |
| Mbh.12.281.17295 | Then, in that encounter, Indra, adored by the gods, and armed with the thunderbolt, looked hard at the Daitya as the latter sat on his car. |
| Mbh.12.347.23024 | From that drop sprang, at the command of Narayana, a Daitya of the name of Madhu made up of the attribute of Tamas Dullness. |
| Mbh.12.347.23026 | From it sprang the Daitya Kaitabha made up of the attribute of Rajas. |
| Mbh.13.14.963 | The discus which thou bearest, O sinless one, was given unto thee by Mahadeva after he had slain a Daitya that was proud of his strength and used to live within the waters. |
| Mbh.13.17.2089 | Thou art the stupefier of Daitya ranks in the field of battle. |
| Mbh.13.17.2665 | Thou art he who is the leader in battle of both the deities and the Asuras being as thou art of the form of Karttikeya and Kesi, the leaders of the celestial and the Daitya armies. |
| Mbh.13.40.4334 | She is the illusion, O king, that the Daitya Maya created. |
| Mbh.13.40.4393 | Sometimes he shows himself as a god, sometimes as a Daitya, and sometimes he assumes the guise of a king. |
| Mbh.13.85.7914 | He slew the Daitya Taraka as also many other Asuras, at the command of the chief of the celestials, O Brahmana, and actuated also by the desire of benefiting all the worlds. |
| Mbh.13.98.8788 | Manu said, In this connection is recited the old history of the discourse between Sukra and the high-souled Daitya Vali. |
