Daruka - AncientVoice

Mbh.2.2.45	And Yudhishthira, the king of the Kurus, from affection, ascended the chariot after Krishna, and causing that best charioteer Daruka to stand aside, himself took the reins.
Mbh.2.2.60	Then Sauri, the son of Devaki, accompanied by his charioteer Daruka reached Dwaraka with the speed of Garuda
Mbh.2.44.1838	Then the mighty armed Daruka came there with a car of excellent design and body resembling the clouds.
Mbh.3.18.883	while great joy was felt by the enemy and beholding him thus deprived of sense, his trained charioteer, the son of Daruka, soon carried him off the field by the help of his steeds.
Mbh.3.18.902	O son of Daruka, never do so again; never, O Suta, turn thou from the fight, while I am alive!
Mbh.3.18.906	And, O son of Daruka, thou art acquainted with the customs of the Vrishnis in battle!
Mbh.3.18.929	Therefore, O son of Daruka, turn that car speedily, and never do so again even in times of greatest danger!
Mbh.3.18.933	O son of Daruka, it behoved thee not to forsake the battle, while my desire of fight was not yet gratified!
Mbh.3.19.943	I have been begotten by Daruka, and I have been duly trained!
Mbh.3.20.992	And the Asuras covered my horses and my car and Daruka with arrows capable of piercing the very vitals.
Mbh.3.20.993	And, O hero, I could not at that time see either my horses, or my car, or my charioteer Daruka!
Mbh.3.21.1021	And Salwa covered Daruka, and my steeds, and my car also with hundreds of straight shafts.
Mbh.3.21.1022	Then, O hero, Daruka, evidently about to faint, said unto me, Afflicted with the shafts of Salwa I stay in the field, because it is my duty to do so.
Mbh.3.22.1097	And, O hero, saying unto Daruka, Stay a moment' I fixed on my bow-string my favourite weapon of fire, blazing and of celestial origin, of irresistible force, and incapable of being baffled, bursting with energy, capable of penetrating into everything, and of great splendour!
Mbh.4.45.1731	Know me, O bull among men, to be as competent a charioteer as Daruka of Vasudeva, or Matali of Sakra.
Mbh.5.83.4005	And those steeds of Vasudeva, urged by Daruka, coursed onwards, devouring the sky and drinking the road.
Mbh.5.84.4049	And Daruka also, setting the steeds free, tended them according to the rules of equine science, and taking off the yokes and traces, let them loose.
Mbh.5.94.4400	And after he had thus given away much wealth and taken his seat, his driver Daruka came and saluted that unvanquished hero of Dasarha's race.
Mbh.5.94.4401	And Daruka soon returned with his master's large and blazing car furnished with rows of tinkling bells and harnessed with excellent steeds.
Mbh.5.131.5843	And he beheld at the gate his charioteer Daruka waiting with his large white car, furnished with rows of tinkling bells, decked with golden ornaments, and endued with great speed, the clatter of whose wheels resounded like the rumbling of the clouds, and which was covered all over with white tiger-skins, and unto which were harnessed his steeds Saivya and others.
Mbh.5.137.6177	And driven by Daruka, those swift coursers endued with the speed of the tempest of the mind, went on as if drinking the skies.
Mbh.7.77.3347	Placing door-keepers then, and also sentinels well-armed, blessed Kesava, followed by his charioteer Daruka, repaired to his own tent.
Mbh.7.77.3370	In the middle of the night, Janardana, having awaked, remembered Partha's vow, and addressing his charioteer Daruka, said, Arjuna, in grief for the death of his son, hath vowed.
Mbh.7.77.3371	O Daruka, that before tomorrow's sun goes down he will slay Jayadratha.
Mbh.7.77.3378	O Daruka, I shall not be able to cast my eyes, even for a single moment, on the earth bereft of Arjuna.
Mbh.7.77.3381	Let the three worlds tomorrow behold my prowess in great battle, when I put forth my valour, O Daruka, for Dhananjaya's sake.
Mbh.7.77.3382	Tomorrow thousands of kings and hundreds of princes, with their steeds and cars and elephants, will, O Daruka, fly away from battle.
Mbh.7.77.3383	Thou shalt tomorrow, O Daruka, behold that army of kings overthrown and crushed with my discus, by myself in wrath for the sake of the son of Pandu.
Mbh.7.77.3389	When morning comes after the expiry of this night, thou, O Daruka, equipping my excellent car according to the rules of military science, must bring it and follow me with it carefully, placing on it my celestial mace called Kaumodaki, my dart and discus, bow and arrows, and every other thing necessary.
Mbh.7.77.3392	In course of a single day, O Daruka, I shall dispel the wrath and the diverse woes of my cousin, the son of my paternal aunt.
Mbh.7.77.3395	Daruka said, He is certain to have victory whose charioteership, O tiger among men, hath been taken by thee.
Mbh.7.80.3535	SECTION LXXXII Sanjaya said, While Krishna and Daruka were thus conversing together, that night, O king, passed away.
Mbh.7.109.5226	After those steeds, adorned with trappings of gold, had been yoked to that car, the younger brother of Daruka, who was the charioteer and the dear friend of Satyaki, came and represented unto the latter that the car had been duly equipped, like Matali representing the equipment of the car unto Vasava himself.
Mbh.7.144.7496	For this, summoning his charioteer, Daruka, he had commanded him, saying, Let my car be kept equipped tomorrow'
Mbh.7.144.7502	Daruka, hearing the blare of Kesava's conch, understood the meaning, and soon took that car, equipped with a lofty standard of gold, to where Kesava was.
Mbh.7.144.7503	With Kesava's permission, upon that car guided by Daruka, and which resembled the blazing fire or the sun in effulgence, ascended the grandson of Sini.
Mbh.7.144.7509	All became silent spectators of that superhuman battle between those two human heroes, O king, and of the skill of Daruka in guiding the car.
Mbh.7.144.7510	Indeed, beholding the skill of the charioteer Daruka standing on the car, as he guided the vehicle forwards, backwards, sidelong, now wheeling in circles and now stopping outright, all were amazed.
Mbh.7.144.7537	Dhritarashtra said, Ascending on the invincible car of Vasudeva that had Daruka for its driver, Satyaki, proud of the might of his arms and equal in battle unto Vasudeva himself, made Karna carless.
Mbh.7.144.7544	The intelligent younger brother of Daruka soon brought unto Satyaki another car, duly equipped with all necessaries.
Mbh.7.144.7547	Daruka, meanwhile, went as he listed to Kesava's side.
Mbh.8.72.4279	Thus addressed, O monarch, by the high-souled Phalguna, Krishna commanded Daruka, saying, Do all that Arjuna, that chief of Bharata's race and that foremost of all wielders of the bow, hath said
Mbh.8.72.4280	Thus ordered by Krishna, Daruka, O best of kings, yoked those steeds unto that car covered with tiger-skins and ever capable of scorching all foes.
Mbh.8.72.4282	Beholding the car equipped by the high-souled Daruka, Phalguna, obtaining Yudhishthira's leave and causing the Brahmanas to perform propitiatory rites and utter benedictions on him, ascended that excellent vehicle.
Mbh.9.60.4376	Vasudeva of great prowess, causing Daruka to get upon his car, proceeded very quickly to that place where the royal son of Ambika was.
Mbh.9.61.4416	Hearing these words of king Yudhishthira the just, the perpetuator of Yadu's race, summoning Daruka, said, Let my car be equipped
Mbh.9.61.4417	Having received Keshava's command, Daruka in great haste, returned and represented unto his high-souled master that the car was ready.
Mbh.9.61.4474	Then Keshava of unfading glory proceeded with Daruka.
Mbh.12.46.2286	At this, Satyaki quickly left Kesava's presence and going out, commanded Daruka, saying, Let Krishna's car be made ready'
Mbh.12.46.2287	Hearing the words of Satyaki, Daruka speedily yoked Krishna's car.
Mbh.12.46.2289	Having yoked it, O tiger, among kings, Daruka, with joined hands, informed Krishna of the fact'
Mbh.12.52.2826	Krishna's steeds, viz, Valahaka and Meghapushpa and Saivya and Sugriva were urged by Daruka.
Mbh.13.17.2321	Thou art he that stupefied the Rishis dwelling in the Daruka forest.
Mbh.13.17.2322	Thou art he that did good unto even thy detractors, viz, those Rishis residing in the Daruka forest.
Mbh.14.52.2259	SECTION LII Vaisampayana said, After this, Krishna ordered Daruka, saying, Let my car be yoked,
Mbh.14.52.2260	Within a very short space of time Daruka informed his master, saying, It has been yoked,
Mbh.16.3.87	In the very sight of Daruka, the excellent car of Vasudeva, of solar effulgence, and properly equipped, was taken away by the horses yoked unto it.
Mbh.16.3.138	Hear, O king, what that conquerer of hostile towns, Vabhru of mighty energy and Daruka then said to Krishna, O holy one, a very large number of men has been slain by thee.

Mbh.16.4.143	Finding Rama of great soul, Krishna commanded Daruka, saying, Going to the Kurus, inform Partha of this great slaughter of the Yadus.
Mbh.16.4.145	Thus addressed, Daruka, deprived of his senses by grief, proceeded on a car to the capital of the Kurus.
Mbh.16.4.146	After Daruka had gone away, Keshava, seeing Vabhru waiting on him, told him these words: Do thou go quickly for protecting the ladies.
Mbh.16.5.187	SECTION Vaishampayana said: Meanwhile Daruka, going to the Kurus and seeing those mighty car-warriors, the son of Pritha, informed them of how the Vrishnis had slain one another with iron bolts.
Mbh.16.5.191	Proceeding to the city of the Vrishnis with Daruka in his company, O puissant king, that hero beheld that the city of Dwaraka looked like a woman bereft of her husband.
Mbh.16.7.253	Having said so unto his uncle, Arjuna next addressed Daruka, saying, I wish to see without any delay the chief officers of the Vrishni heroes.
