Mbh.3.130.6619 | A blessing was pronounced on this spot by Daksha, when he was engaged in sacrifice here, in these words, Those men that shall die at this spot shall win a place in heaven' |
Mbh.3.162.8224 | And the Mahameru is the auspicious and healthy abode even of the seven mind-born sons of Brahma, of whom Daksha was the seventh. |
Mbh.3.223.11311 | A little while before, Swaha, the daughter of Daksha, had bestowed her love on him. |
Mbh.3.230.11580 | Swaha replied, O mighty being, I am the favourite daughter of Daksha, by name Swaha; and from my youthful days I have been in love with Hutasana the Fire-god; but that god, my son, does not understand my feelings. |

Mbh.5.108.4981 | There the daughters of Daksha, in primeval times, gave birth to their children. |
Mbh.6.68.3710 | In days of old on the occasion of procreating creatures, the sages spoke of thee as Daksha, the Father of creation. |
Mbh.7.199.11391 | In the days of yore, Daksha, for performing a sacrifice, had collected the necessary articles. |
Mbh.8.33.1609 | Salutations to thee that hadst destroyed the sacrifice of that lord of creatures viz, Daksha to thee that art adored by all the lords of creatures. |
Mbh.9.33.2420 | Vaishampayana said, Daksha had seven and twenty daughters, O king! |
Mbh.9.33.2429 | Repairing speedily to their sire Daksha, that Lord of creation, they said unto him, Soma doth not live with us! |
Mbh.9.33.2432 | Hearing these words of theirs, Daksha saw Soma and said unto him, Behave equally towards all thy wives! |
Mbh.9.33.2434 | And Daksha then said unto those daughters of his, Go, all of you, to the presence of Sasin. |
Mbh.9.33.2440 | Hearing these words of theirs, Daksha once more said unto Soma, Behave equally towards all thy wives! |
Mbh.9.33.2442 | Disregarding, however, these words of Daksha, the adorable Soma continued to live with Rohini alone. |
Mbh.9.33.2449 | Hearing these words, the adorable Daksha, O king, became angry and in consequence thereof hurled the curse of phthisis upon Soma. |
Mbh.9.33.2463 | The gods then, having heard those words, repaired to Daksha and said, Be gratified, O adorable one, with Soma! |
Mbh.9.33.2472 | Thus addressed Daksha, that Lord of creatures, said these words unto the celestials, It is impossible to make my words become otherwise! |
Mbh.9.33.2481 | At this command of the celestial Rishi Daksha, Soma then proceeded to the Sarasvati. |
Mbh.9.33.2484 | All the creatures also, O monarch, having repaired to Prabhasa, returned with Soma amongst them to the place where Daksha was. |
Mbh.9.33.2486 | Pleased with Soma, the adorable Daksha once more addressed him, saying, Do not, O son, disregard women, and never disregard Brahmanas! |
Mbh.9.36.2692 | Daksha at one time performed a sacrifice at the source of Ganga. |
Mbh.9.43.3095 | The diverse gods, Indra and Vishnu, both of great energy, and Surya and Candramas, and Dhatri, and Vidhatri, and Vayu, and Agni, and Pushan, and Bhaga, and Aryaman, and Ansa, and Vivaswat, and Rudra of great intelligence, and Mitra, and the eleven Rudras, the eight Vasus, the twelve Adityas, the twin Ashvinis, the Viswedevas, the Maruts, the Saddhyas, the Pitris, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, the Pannagas, innumerable celestial Rishis, the Vaikhanasas, the Valakhilyas, those others among Rishis that subsist only on air and those that subsist on the rays of the Sun, the descendants of Bhrigu and Angiras, many high-souled Yatis, all the Vidyadharas, all those that were crowned with ascetic success, the Grandsire, Pulastya, Pulaha of great ascetic merits, Angiras, Kasyapa, Atri, Marichi, Bhrigu, Kratu, Hara, Prachetas, Manu, Daksha, the Seasons, the Planets, and all the luminaries; O monarch, all the rivers in their embodied forms, the eternal Vedas, the Seas, the diverse tirthas, the Earth, the Sky, the Cardinal and Subsidiary points of the compass, and all the Trees, O king, Aditi the mother of the gods, Hri, Sri, Swaha, Sarasvati, Uma, Sachi, Sinivali, Anumati, Kuhu, the Day of the new moon, the Day of the full Moon, the wives of the denizens of heaven, Himavat, Vindhya, Meru of many summits, Airavat with all his followers, the Divisions of time called Kala, Kashtha, Fortnight, the Seasons, Night, and Day, O king, the prince of steeds, Ucchaisravas, Vasuki the king of the Snakes, Aruna, Garuda, the Trees, the deciduous herbs, and the adorable god Dharma, all came there together. |
Mbh.10.7.365 | And he said, I seek the protection of Him called Ugra, Sthanu, Shiva, Rudra, Sharva, Ishana, Ishvara, Girisha; and of that boon-giving god who is the Creator and Lord of the universe; of Him whose throat is blue, who is without birth, who is called Shakra, who destroyed the sacrifice of Daksha, and who is called Hara; of Him whose form is the universe, who hath three eyes, who is possessed of multifarious forms, and who is the lord of Uma; of Him who resides in crematoriums, who swells with energy, who is the lord of diverse tribes of ghostly beings, and who is the possessor of undecaying prosperity and power; of Him who wields the skull-topped club, who is called Rudra, who bears matted locks on his head, and who is a brahmacari. |
Mbh.10.17.1052 | That being then created many living creatures, having Daksha for their first, who created all these creatures of four kinds. |
Mbh.12.23.977 | It is heard again that the royal sage Sudyumna, only by wielding the rod of chastisement, obtained the highest success, like Daksha himself, the son of Prachetas' |
Mbh.12.23.1024 | Vyasa continued, That king, O eldest son of Pandu, became eminent by this act and obtained the highest success like the lord Daksha himself! |
Mbh.12.47.2294 | Surrounded by Vyasa conversant with the Vedas by the celestial Rishi Narada, by Devasthana, by Asmaka Sumantu, by Jaimini, by the high-souled Paila, by Sandilya, by Devarata, by Maitreya of great intelligence, by Asita and Vasishtha and the high-souled Kausika, by Harita and Lomasa and Atri's son of great intelligence, by Vrihaspati and Sukra and the great sage Chyavana, by Sanatkumara and Kapila and Valmiki and Tumvuru and Kuru, by Maudgalya and Rama of Bhrigu's race, and the great sage Trinavindu, by Pippalada and Vayu and Samvarta and Pulaha and Katha, by Kasyapa and Pulastya and Kratu and Daksha and Parasara, by Marichi and Angiras and Kasmya and Gautama and the sage Galava, by Dhaumya and Vibhanda and Mandavya and Dhaumra and Krishnanubhautika, by Uluka, that foremost of Brahmanas and the great sage Markandeya, by Bhaskari and Purana and Krishna and Suta, that foremost of virtuous persons, surrounded by these and many other highly-blessed sages of great souls and possessed of faith and self-restraint and tranquillity of mind, the Kuru hero looked like the Moon in the midst of the planets and the stars. |
Mbh.12.165.9823 | The last begat Daksha, who in his turn, begat sixty daughters. |
Mbh.12.169.10147 | Rajadharman said, O Brahmana, I am the son of Kasyapa by one of the daughters of the sage Daksha. |
Mbh.12.172.10297 | At that time, the auspicious goddess Surabhi, the daughter of Daksha, appeared in the sky above the place where the pyre had been set up. |
Mbh.12.206.12483 | After this, Brahman created, by a flat of his will, seven sons with Daksha completing the tale. |
Mbh.12.206.12484 | They were Marichi, Atri, Angiras, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, and the already mentioned Daksha. |
Mbh.12.206.12487 | That son, O chief of Bharata's race, was Daksha, the progenitor of creatures |
Mbh.12.206.12488 | Unto Daksha were first born three and ten daughters, O Bharata, the eldest of whom was called Diti. |
Mbh.12.206.12490 | The highly-blessed Daksha besides the three and ten already spoken of next begat ten other daughters. |
Mbh.12.206.12491 | The progenitor of creatures, viz, the righteous Daksha, bestowed these upon Dharma. |
Mbh.12.206.12493 | Daksha next begat seven and twenty other younger daughters. |
Mbh.12.207.12554 | The ten Prachetasas had one son between them, viz, the Prajapati called by the name of Daksha. |
Mbh.12.207.12555 | This last has two names in the world, viz, Daksha and Kasyapa. |
Mbh.12.226.13849 | Prithu, Aila, Maya, Bhima, Naraka, Samvara, Aswagriva, Puloman, Swarbhanu, whose standard was of immeasurable height, Prahlada, Namuchi, Daksha, Vipprachitti, Virochana, Hrinisheva, Suhotra, Bhurihan, Pushavat, Vrisha, Satyepsu, Rishava, Vahu, Kapilaswa, Virupaka, Vana, Kartaswara, Vahni, Viswadanshtra, Nairiti, Sankocha, Varitaksha, Varaha, Aswa, Ruchiprabha, Viswajit, Pratirupa, Vrishanda, Vishkara, Madhu, Hiranyakasipu, the Danava Kaitabha, and many others that were Daityas and Danavas and Rakshasas, these and many more unnamed, belonging to remote and remoter ages, great Daityas and foremost of Danavas, whose names we have heard, indeed, many foremost of Daityas of former times, having gone away, leaving the Earth. |
Mbh.12.282.17395 | After some time had passed away, the Prajapati Daksha commenced to perform a Sacrifice according to the ancient rites laid down in the Vedas. |
Mbh.12.282.17396 | Unto the Sacrifice of Daksha, all the deities headed by Sakra, assembling together, resolved to repair. |
Mbh.12.282.17400 | Maheswara said, O lady that art highly blessed, the excellent Prajapati Daksha is adoring the gods in a Horse-sacrifice. |
Mbh.12.282.17411 | Summoning all his Yoga force, that Lord of all lords of Yoga, that god of gods, that wielder of Pinaka, possessed of mighty energy, quickly proceeded to the place where Daksha was sacrificing accompanied by all his terrible followers and destroyed that Sacrifice. |
Mbh.12.283.17454 | SECTION CCLXXXIV Janamejaya said, How O Brahmana, was the Horse-sacrifice of the Prajapati Daksha, the son of Prachetas, destroyed during the age of Vaivaswata Manu? |
Mbh.12.283.17456 | How, again, through his grace, was Daksha enable to reunite the divided limbs of that Sacrifice? |
Mbh.12.283.17459 | Vaisampayana said, In days of yore Daksha made arrangements for performing a Sacrifice on the breast of Himavat in that sacred region inhabited by Rishis and Siddhas where the Ganges issues out of the mountains. |
Mbh.12.283.17461 | Surrounded by crowds of Rishis, Daksha, that foremost of virtuous men, that progenitor of creatures, was waited upon by the denizens of the earth, the firmament, and the heavens, with their hands joined together in reverence. |
Mbh.12.283.17480 | Daksha said, We have many Rudras armed with lances and bearing matted locks on their heads. |
Mbh.12.283.17485 | I am sure that this proposed Sacrifice of Daksha will certainly be overtaken by destruction' |
Mbh.12.283.17486 | Daksha said, Here, in this vessel of gold, intended for the Lord of all Sacrifices, is the sacrificial offering sanctified by mantras and rites according to the ordinance. |
Mbh.12.283.17508 | Maheswara answered him, saying, Go and destroy the Sacrifice of Daksha' |
Mbh.12.283.17509 | Thus ordered, that Being of leonine prowess who had issued from the mouth of Mahadeva, desired to destroy the Sacrifice of Daksha, without putting forth all his energy and without the assistance of any one else, for dispelling the wrath of Uma. |
Mbh.12.283.17516 | Those fierce bands of spirits, endued with terrible energy and prowess and resembling Rudra himself on that account, rushed with the force of thunder to that place where Daksha was making preparations for his sacrifice, impelled by the desire of destroying it. |
Mbh.12.283.17547 | Then the gods headed by Brahman, and that progenitor of creatures, viz, Daksha, joining their hands in reverence, addressed that mighty Being, saying, Tell us, who thou art' |
Mbh.12.283.17559 | Hearing the words of Virabhadra, Daksha, that foremost of all righteous persons, bowed down unto Maheswara and sought to gratify him by uttering the following hymn, I throw myself at the feet of the effulgent Isana, who is Eternal, Immutable, and Indestructible; who is the foremost of all gods, who is endued with high soul, who is the Lord of all the universe' |
Mbh.12.283.17563 | Possessed of the effulgence of a thousand Suns, and looking like another Samvartaka, the great god smiled gently at Daksha and addressing him, said, What, O Brahmana, shall I do for you' |
Mbh.12.283.17565 | Then that progenitor of all creatures, viz, Daksha, joining his hands in reverence, filled with dread and fear, exceedingly agitated, and with face and eyes bathed in tears, addressed the great god in the following words' |
Mbh.12.283.17566 | Daksha said, If the great god has been gratified with me, if indeed, I have become an object of favour with him, if I have deserved his kindness, if the great Lord of all creatures is disposed to grant me boons, then let all these articles of mine that have been burnt, eaten, drunk, swallowed, destroyed, broken, and polluted, let all these articles, collected in course of these articles be of use to me. |
Mbh.12.283.17571 | Having obtained that boon from Bhava, Daksha knelt down to him and adored that deity having the bull for his mark, by uttering his thousand and eight names' |
Mbh.12.284.17572 | SECTION CCLXXXV Yudhishthira said, It behoveth thee, O sire, to tell me those names by which Daksha, that progenitor of creatures, adored the great deity. |
Mbh.12.284.17575 | Daksha said, I bow to thee, O lord of all the gods to the destroyer of the forces of the Asuras. |
Mbh.12.284.17818 | Hearing these adorations, that Lord of all creatures, viz, Mahadeva, ceased to think of inflicting further injuries on Daksha. |
Mbh.12.284.17819 | Indeed, highly gratified, the illustrious deity addressed Daksha, saying, O Daksha of excellent vows, pleased have I been with these adorations of thine. |
Mbh.12.284.17823 | Once more, Mahadeva, that thorough master of words, addressed Daksha and said unto him these words fraught with high consolation, Be thou the foremost of all creatures in the world. |
Mbh.12.284.17824 | Thou shouldst not, O Daksha, entertain any feelings of grief for these injuries inflicted on thy Sacrifice. |
Mbh.12.284.17838 | In days of yore, O Daksha, this auspicious religion called Pasupata had been extracted by me. |
Mbh.12.284.17842 | Having said these words, Mahadeva, with his spouse Uma and with all his attendants disappeared from the view of Daksha of immeasurable prowess. |
Mbh.12.284.17843 | He who would recite this hymn that was first uttered by Daksha or who would listen to it when recited by another, would never meet with the smallest evil and would attain to a long life. |
Mbh.12.328.20937 | That wind which takes away the life of all living creatures when the proper hour comes, whose track is followed by Death and Surya's son Yama, which becomes the source of that immortality which is attained by Yogins of subtile sight who are always engaged in Yoga meditation, by whose aid the thousands of grandsons of Daksha, that lord of creatures, by his ten sons, succeeded in days of old in attaining to the ends of the universe, whose touch enables one to attain to Emancipation by freeing oneself from the obligation of returning so the world, that wind is called by the name of Paravaha. |
Mbh.12.334.21394 | Brahman, Sthanu, Manu, Daksha, Bhrigu, Dharma, Yama, Marichi, Angiras, Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Vasishtha, Parameshthi, Vivaswat, Shoma, he that has been called Karddama, Krodha, Avak, and Krita, these one and twenty persons, called Prajapatis, were first born. |
Mbh.12.338.21695 | Thou art he who is divested of all attributes, who is the Witness of all the worlds, who is called Kshetrajna, who is the foremost of all Beings, who is Infinite, who is called Purusha, who is the great Purusha, who is the foremost of all Purushas, who is the soul of the three attributes, who is called the Foremost, who is Amrita nectar, who is called Immortal, who is called Ananta Sesha, who is Space who is without beginning, who is both Manifest and Unmanifest as existent and not-existent things, who is said to have his home in Truth who is the first of gods Narayana, who is the giver of wealth or of the fruits of acts, identified with Daksha and other Lords of the Creation, who is the Aswattha and other big trees, who is the four-headed Brahman, who is the Lord of all created Beings, who is the Lord of Speech who is the Lord of the universe or Indra, who is the all-pervading Soul, who is the Sun, who is the breath called Prana, who is the Lord of the waters viz, Varuna, who is identifiable with the Emperor or the King, who is identifiable with the Regents of the several points of the compass, who is the refuge of the universe when it is dissolved in the final destruction who is Undisplayed unrevealed, who is the giver of the Vedas unto Brahman, who is identifiable with the sacrifices and Vedic studies achieved by Brahmanas with the aid of their bodies, who is identifiable with the four principal orders of the deities, who is every one of those four orders, who is possessed of effulgence, who is possessed of great effulgence, who is he unto whom the seven largest offerings in sacrifices are presented with the Gayatri and other sacred mantras, who is Yama, who is Chitragupta and the other attendants of Yama, who is called the wife of Yama, who is that order of the deities called Tushita, who is that other order called Mahatushita, who is the universal grinder Death, who is desire and all diseases that have been created for aiding the advent of Death, who is health and freedom from disease, who is subject to desire and passions, who is free from the influence of desire and passions, who is Infinite as exhibited in species and forms, who is he that is chastised, who is he that is the chastiser, who is all the lesser sacrifices like Agnihotra and others, who is all the larger sacrifices like those called Brahma, etc, |
Mbh.12.342.22403 | Incensed at the destruction of his sacrifice by Rudra, Daksha once more set himself to the practice of severe austerities and attaining to high puissance caused something like a third eye to appear on the forehead of Rudra for the destruction of Tripurasura |
Mbh.12.342.22548 | The Prajapati Daksha became the father of sixty daughters. |
Mbh.12.342.22552 | Incensed at this representation of his daughters, the celestial Rishi Daksha cursed Shoma, saying, that thenceforth the disease phthisis should assail his son-in-law and dwell in him. |
Mbh.12.342.22553 | Through this curse of Daksha, phthisis assailed the puissant Shoma and entered into his body. |
Mbh.12.342.22554 | Assailed by phthisis in this way, Shoma came to Daksha. |
Mbh.12.342.22563 | In consequence, however, of the curse denounced upon him in days of old by Daksha, Shoma, to this day, begins to wane from the night of the full moon till his total disappearance on the night of the new moon whence he once more begins to wax till the night of full moon. |
Mbh.12.342.22669 | Riding on the vehicle that helps towards the performance of scriptural and other duties, I practised, in those two forms, undying austerities on the breast of Gandhamadana At that time the great sacrifice of Daksha took place. |
Mbh.12.342.22670 | Daksha, however, in that sacrifice of his, refused to give a share unto Rudra, O Bharata, of the sacrificial offerings. |
Mbh.12.345.22881 | That Brahma, otherwise called Prameshthi, filled with cheerfulness, caused my sire Daksha to start into being. |
Mbh.12.345.22882 | I was the son of Brahma, created before all others, by a fiat of his will although I had to take birth afterwards as the son of Daksha through a curse of that Rishi. |
Mbh.12.348.23261 | The Grandsire gave it in days of yore to Daksha one of his sons created by a fiat of his will. |
Mbh.12.348.23262 | Daksha, in his turn, imparted it to the eldest of all the sons of his daughters, O monarch, viz, Aditya who is senior in age to Savitri. |
Mbh.13.5.346 | Assuming then the shape of a Brahmana, Sakra descended on the Earth and addressing the bird, said, O Suka, O best of birds, the grand-daughter Suki of Daksha has become blessed by having thee as her offspring. |
Mbh.13.14.1513 | Sanatkumara, the Vedas, the Histories, Marichi, Angiras, Atri, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, the seven Manus, Soma, the Atharvans, and Vrihaspati, Bhrigu, Daksha, Kasyapa, Vasishtha, Kasya, the Schandas, Diksha, the Sacrifices, Dakshina, the Sacrificial Fires, the Havis clarified butter poured in sacrifices, and all the requisites of the sacrifices, were beheld by me, O Yudhishthira, standing there in their embodied forms. |
Mbh.13.46.4777 | SECTION XLVI Bhishma said, They that are conversant with ancient history recite the following verse of Daksha, the son of Prachetas: That maiden, in respect of whom nothing is taken by her kinsmen in the form of dowry cannot be said to be sold |
Mbh.13.57.5667 | The Brahmana, who bathes every day and recites sacred Mantras in the twilights, becomes possessed of the status of Daksha himself. |
Mbh.13.77.7013 | In days of yore, the Self-born Brahman commanded the Rishi Daksha, saying, Do thou create living creatures! |
Mbh.13.77.7014 | From desire of doing good to creatures, Daksha, in the first instance, created food. |
Mbh.13.77.7015 | Even as the deities exist, depending upon nectar, all living creatures, O puissant one, live depending upon the sustenance assigned by Daksha. |
Mbh.13.77.7025 | Knowing the intention which moved all his creatures, the holy lord of all creatures, viz, Daksha, for the sake of the beings he had created, himself drank a quantity of nectar. |
Mbh.13.77.7028 | Daksha saw that it gave birth to a cow which he named Surabhi. |
Mbh.13.77.7039 | Seeing that Mahadeva had become exceedingly angry; Daksha, the lord of all creatures, addressed him, saying, Thou hast, O great deity, been drenched with nectar. |
Mbh.13.77.7052 | Having said these words, the lord of creatures, Daksha, made a present unto Mahadeva of a bull with certain kine. |
