Mbh.1.3.629	And they answered, Sir, he hath been sent by yourself saying, Go, stop up the breach in the water-course of the field' Thus reminded, Dhaumya, addressing his pupils, said, Then let us all go to the place where he is'
Mbh.1.3.643	And Dhaumya appointed him saying, Go, my child, Upamanyu, look after the kine'
Mbh.1.184.9336	Dhaumya, the younger brother of Devala is engaged there in ascetic penances.
Mbh.1.184.9343	Then, O Bharata, the Pandavas going to Utkochaka, the sacred asylum of Dhaumya installed Dhaumya as their priest.
Mbh.1.184.9344	And Dhaumya, the foremost of all conversant with the Vedas, receiving them with presents of wild fruits and edible roots, consented to become their priest.
Mbh.1.184.9346	And those bulls of the Bharata race, having obtained the master Dhaumya as their priest, also regarded themselves as placed under a powerful protector.
Mbh.1.184.9347	And the high-souled Dhaumya, acquainted with the true meaning of the Vedas and every rule of morality, becoming the spiritual preceptor of the virtuous Pandavas, made them his Yajamanas spiritual disciples.
Mbh.1.199.9926	Then those princes of the Kuru line, endued with youth and adorned with ear-rings, attired in costly robes and perfumed with sandal-paste, bathed and performed the usual religious rites and accompanied by their priest Dhaumya who was possessed of the splendour of fire, entered the wedding hall one after another in due order, and with glad hearts, like mighty bulls entering a cow-pen.
Mbh.1.199.9927	Then Dhaumya, well-conversant with the Vedas, igniting the sacred fire, poured with due mantras libations of clarified butter into that blazing element.
Mbh.1.199.9928	And calling Yudhishthira there, Dhaumya, acquainted with mantras, united him with Krishna.
Mbh.1.199.9930	After their union was complete, the priest Dhaumya, taking leave of Yudhishthira, that ornament of battles, went out of the palace.
Mbh.1.222.10881	And, O monarch, all their rites of infancy and childhood, such as Chudakarana and Upanayana first shave of the head and investiture with the sacred threads were performed by Dhaumya according to the ordinance.
Mbh.2.2.35	And bidding her farewell and uttering benedictions on his handsome sister, he of the Vrishni race, next saw Draupadi and Dhaumya.
Mbh.2.2.36	That best of men duly made obeisance unto Dhaumya, and consoling Draupadi obtained leave from her.
Mbh.2.4.117	Upon the seats in that palace sat, along with the Pandavas, Rishis and kings that came from various countries, viz, Asita and Devala, Satya, Sarpamali and Mahasira; Arvavasu, Sumitra, Maitreya, Sunaka and Vali; Vaka, Dalvya, Sthulasira, Krishna-Dwaipayana, and Suka Sumanta, Jaimini, Paila, and the disciples of Vyasa, viz, ourselves; Tittiri, Yajanavalkya, and Lomaharshana with his son; Apsuhomya, Dhaumya, Animandavya; and Kausika; Damoshnisha and Traivali, Parnada, and Varayanuka, Maunjayana, Vayubhaksha, Parasarya, and Sarika; Valivaka, Silivaka, Satyapala, and Krita-srama; Jatukarna, and Sikhavat.
Mbh.2.13.544	After this the intelligent and virtuous Yudhishthira, wise in counsel, again consulted with his brothers, with the illustrious Ritwijas about him, with his ministers and with Dhaumya and Dwaipayana and others.
Mbh.2.32.1377	And after Krishna had been seated at ease, that bull among men, the son of Pandu, with Dhaumya and Dwaipayana and the other sacrificial priests and with Bhima and Arjuna and the twins, addressed Krishna thus, O Krishna it is for thee that the whole earth is under my sway.
Mbh.2.32.1393	And that chastiser of all foes, the son of Pandu, then commanded Sahadeva that foremost of all warriors and all ministers also, saying, Let persons be appointed to collect without loss of time, all those articles which the Brahmanas have directed as necessary for the performance of this sacrifice, and all materials and auspicious necessaries that Dhaumya may order as required for it, each of the kind needed and one after another in due order.
Mbh.2.32.1400	Yajnavalkya devoted to Brahma became the Adhyaryu, and Paila, the son of Vasu and Dhaumya became the Hotris.
Mbh.2.52.2180	Then Dhaumya and Vyasa, of great ascetic merit, with Narada and Asita's son Devala, standing before performed the ceremony of sprinkling the sacred water over the king.
Mbh.2.76.3258	Thou knowest every rule of morality; Dhananjaya is ever victorious in battle; Bhimasena is the slayer of foes; Nakula is the gatherer of wealth; Sahadeva hath administrative talents, Dhaumya is the foremost of all conversant with the vedas; and the well-behaved Draupadi is conversant with virtue and economy.
Mbh.2.76.3265	Narada and this thy priest Dhaumya will now become thy instructors.
Mbh.2.78.3347	And how, O Kshatta, doth Dhaumya proceed along?
Mbh.2.78.3355	And O monarch, Dhaumya goeth along the road, with kusa grass in hand, and uttering the aweful mantras of Sama Veda that relate to Yama'
Mbh.2.78.3369	And O Bharata, the learned Dhaumya with passions under full control, holding the kusa grass in his hand and pointing the same towards the south-west, walketh before, singing the mantras of the Sama Veda that relate to Yama.
Mbh.3.3.179	Vaisampayana said, After reflecting for a moment seeking to find out the proper course by his yoga powers, Dhaumya, that foremost of all virtuous men, addressed Yudhishthira, in these words, In days of old, all living beings that had been created were sorely afflicted with hunger.
Mbh.3.3.194	I will tell thee everything in detail, And, O illustrious one, listen to the one hundred and eight names of the sun as they were disclosed of old by Dhaumya to the high-souled son of Pritha.
Mbh.3.3.195	Dhaumya said, Surya, Aryaman, Bhaga, Twastri, Pusha, Arka, Savitri.
Mbh.3.3.202	Vaisampayana continued, Having heard from Dhaumya these words suitable to the occasion, Yudhishthira the just, with heart concentrated within itself and purifying it duly, became engaged in austere meditation, moved by the desire of supporting the Brahmanas.
Mbh.3.3.264	Brahma himself had communicated this hymn to the illustrious Sakra, and from Sakra was it obtained by Narada and from Narada, by Dhaumya.
Mbh.3.3.265	And Yudhishthira, obtaining it from Dhaumya, attained all his wishes.
Mbh.3.3.277	After the sacrifices, the sons of Pandu, blessed by the auspicious rites performed by Dhaumya and accompanied by him, and surrounded also by the Brahmanas set out for the woods of Kamyaka
Mbh.3.11.531	And Dhaumya of great ascetic energy, in the presence of the sons of Pandu, destroyed the fearful illusion that had been spread by the Rakshasa, by applying various mantras, calculated to destroy the Rakshasa.
Mbh.3.12.724	Thus, O Krishna, afflicted with numerous griefs, and in great distress, am I living, with Dhaumya at our head, but deprived of the company of the adorable Kunti!
Mbh.3.22.1118	And he was duly honoured by Dhaumya, and worshipped with tears by Draupadi.
Mbh.3.25.1183	And their priest, Dhaumya endued with great energy, like unto a father to those princes, began to perform the sacrificial rites of Ishti and Paitreya for the Pandavas residing in that great forest.
Mbh.3.25.1211	Vaisampayana continued, Having spoken these words unto Yudhishthira seated in the midst of the ascetics with friends, the great Rishi having also saluted Dhaumya and all the Pandavas set out in a northerly direction
Mbh.3.37.1952	The strong-armed son of Pandu then, having walked round his brothers and round Dhaumya also, and taking up his handsome bow, set out.
Mbh.3.86.4745	SECTION LXXXVI Vaisampayana continued, Having ascertained the opinion of his brothers, and of the intelligent Narada, king Yudhishthira, addressing Dhaumya, who was like unto the Grandsire himself, said, I have for the acquisition of arms, sent away that tiger among men, Jishnu, whose prowess is incapable of being baffled, and who is possessed of long arms and immeasurable intelligence.
Mbh.3.87.4773	SECTION LXXXVII Vaisampayana said, Beholding the Pandavas afflicted with anxiety and depressed in spirits, Dhaumya, who resembled Vrihaspati, spake thus, comforting them, O bull of the Bharata race, O sinless one, listen to me as I mention certain sacred asylums and regions and tirthas and mountains that are approved of by Brahmanas.
Mbh.3.88.4807	SECTION LXXXVIII Dhaumya continued, Listen, O Bharata, I shall now narrate to thee in detail according to my knowledge, the sacred tirthas of the south.
Mbh.3.89.4843	SECTION LXXXIX Dhaumya continued, I shall describe to thee those sacred spots capable of producing merit that lie on the west, in the country of the Anarttas, O Bharata, there, flows in a westward course the sacred river Narmada, graced by Priyangu and mango trees, and engarlanded with thickest of canes.
Mbh.3.90.4859	SECTION XC Dhaumya continued, O tiger among kings, I shall now describe those tirthas and sacred spots that lie to the north.
Mbh.3.91.4898	SECTION XCI Vaisampayana continued, O son of the Kuru race, while Dhaumya was speaking thus, there arrived at the spot the Rishi Lomasa of great energy.
Mbh.3.92.4949	As to thy words, O illustrious one, in respect of a trip to the tirthas, my mind had already been made up at the words of Dhaumya.
Mbh.3.93.4977	Protected by Lomasa and taking us with thee, go thou to all the tirthas spoken of by Dhaumya and the intelligent Narada, as also all those that have been spoken of by the celestial Rishi Lomasa, endued with great ascetic wealth, and be thou, by this, cleansed of all thy sins
Mbh.3.93.4979	With the permission then of Lomasa, as also of his priest Dhaumya, that foremost of Pandu's sons with soul under complete control, resolved, along with his brothers and Drupada's daughter of faultless features, to set out.
Mbh.3.93.4989	And those heroes, having worshipped the feet of Lomasa and Dwaipayana and Narada and the celestial Rishi Parvata, O king, and accompanied by Dhaumya as also the ascetics that had been residing with them in the woods, set out on the day following the full moon of Agrahayana in which the constellation Pushya was ascendant.
Mbh.3.142.7266	And Yudhishthira the just with Dhaumya crept into the deep wood.
Mbh.3.143.7294	Vaisampayana said, While king Yudhishthira the just was lamenting thus, Dhaumya with all the other principal Brahmanas came to the spot.
Mbh.3.144.7318	Thereat, Ghatotkacha said, Even single-handed, I am able to carry Yudhishthira the just, and Dhaumya, and Krishna, and the twins, and what wonder then that I shall to-day carry them, when I have others to assist me?
Mbh.3.155.7834	On hearing this mighty marvel, the Brahmana Dhaumya, said, This should not be gainsaid.
Mbh.3.157.7949	And Dhaumya and Krishna and the Parthas and the mighty sage Lomasa went on in a body and none grew tired.
Mbh.3.158.7999	And that priest of the Pandavas, the virtuous Dhaumya, also duly approached that vow-observing sage.
Mbh.3.158.8013	And, O Partha, doth not Dhaumya grieve at thy conduct?
Mbh.3.160.8109	SECTION CLX Vaisampayana said, Hearing various sounds resounding in the caves of the mountain and not seeing Bhimasena, Kunti's son, Ajatasatru and the twin sons of Madri and Dhaumya and Krishna and all the Brahmanas and the friends of the Pandavas, were filled with anxiety.
Mbh.3.162.8212	SECTION CLXII Vaisampayana continued, Then, O represser of foes, at sunrise, having finished his daily devotions, Dhaumya came unto the Pandavas, with Arshtishena.
Mbh.3.162.8213	And having bowed down unto the feet of Arshtishena and Dhaumya, they with joined hands paid homage unto all the Brahmanas.
Mbh.3.162.8214	Then Dhaumya taking Yudhishthira's right hand, said these words, looking at the east, O mighty monarch, this king of mountains, Mandara lieth vast, covering the earth up to the ocean.
Mbh.3.164.8276	And that intelligent one decked in a diadem and garlands, having alighted on the mountain, first bowed down at the feet of Dhaumya, and then at those of Ajatasatru.
Mbh.3.178.8861	Hearing this, that mighty-armed king set out with Dhaumya, after having said unto Dhananjaya, Thou shouldst protect Draupadi'
Mbh.3.180.8979	The glorious and pious Yudhishthira, too, returned to his hermitage with Dhaumya and his brother Bhima.
Mbh.3.182.9009	And he paid his respects to Dhaumya, while the twin brothers prostrated themselves to him.
Mbh.3.182.9026	And Krishna, the foremost of the Dasarha tribe, then said to Dhaumya and Bhima and Yudhishthira, and the twins and Krishna, How fortunate that by your blessing Arjuna the bearer of the coronet, has arrived after having acquired the science of arms
Mbh.3.262.12857	And one day those valiant men, the conquerors of their foes, went about in all directions in search of game for feeding the Brahmanas in their company, leaving Draupadi alone at the hermitage, with the permission of the great ascetic Trinavindu, resplendent with ascetic grandeur, and of their spiritual guide Dhaumya.
Mbh.3.266.12963	And in a great alarm she then called upon her spiritual adviser, Dhaumya.
Mbh.3.266.12968	And Dhaumya then addressed Jayadratha and said, Do thou, O Jayadratha, observe the ancient custom of the Kshatriyas.
Mbh.3.266.12971	Vaisampayana continued, Having said these words Dhaumya, entering into the midst of Jayadratha's infantry, began to follow that renowned princess who was thus being carried away by the ravisher
Mbh.3.267.13008	And they also saw Dhaumya in the midst of the ravisher's infantry, exhorting Bhima to quicken his steps.
Mbh.3.269.13080	And king Yudhishthira the just, seeing Draupadi with Dhaumya walking before, caused her to be taken up on a chariot by the heroic Sahadeva, the son of Madri.
Mbh.3.269.13087	Vaisampayana continued, Bhimasena, thus exhorted by Arjuna of great wisdom, turning to Yudhishthira, replied, saying, As a great many of the enemy's warriors have been slain and as they are flying in all directions, do thou, O king, now return home, taking with thee Draupadi and the twin brothers and high-souled Dhaumya, and console the princess after getting back to our asylum!
Mbh.3.313.15564	Then Dhaumya spake unto the king these words fraught with mighty meaning, O king, thou art learned and capable of bearing privations, art firm in promise, and of subdued sense!
Mbh.3.313.15576	Thus cheered by these words of Dhaumya, the virtuous Yudhishthira, relying on his own wisdom and also that acquired from the scriptures regained his composure.
Mbh.3.313.15584	And accompanied by Dhaumya, these heroes, the five learned Pandavas equipped in vows set out with Krishna.
Mbh.4.4.113	And Dhaumya also gave them advice in the following words, saying, Ye sons of Pandu, the arrangements ye have made regarding the Brahmanas, yours friends, cars, weapons, and the sacred fires, are excellent.
Mbh.4.4.174	Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by Yudhishthira, Dhaumya, that best of Brahmanas, performed according to the ordinance the rites ordained in respect of departure.
Mbh.4.4.177	And when those heroes had departed, Dhaumya, that best of ascetics, taking their sacred fires, set out for the Panchalas.
Mbh.5.126.5588	SECTION CXXVI Vaisampayana said, Hearing these words of Dhritarashtra, both Bhishma and Drona who sympathised with the old king, again addressed disobedient Duryodhana and said, As yet the two Krishnas are not accoutred in mail, as yet Gandiva resteth inactive, as yet Dhaumya doth not consume the enemy's strength by pouring libations on the war-fire, as yet that mighty bowman Yudhishthira, having modesty for his ornament, doth not cast angry glances on thy troops, so let hostility cease.
Mbh.5.140.6273	Let that best of Brahmanas, Dhaumya, of restrained soul, pour libations of clarified butter on the sacred fire, and let those Brahmanas regarding all the four Vedas as authoritative and who are acting as priests unto the Pandavas, perform the ceremony of thy installation.
Mbh.11.26.1088	Vaishampayana continued, Thus addressed, Kuntis son Yudhishthira of great wisdom commanded Sudharma the priest of the Kauravas and Dhaumya, and Sanjaya of the suta order, and Vidura of great wisdom, and Yuyutsu of Kurus race, and all his servants headed by Indrasena, and all the other sutas that were with him, saying, Cause the funeral rites of the slain, numbering by thousands, to be duly performed, so that nobody may perish for want of persons to take care of them!
Mbh.11.26.1089	At this command of king Yudhishthira the just, Vidura and Sanjaya and Sudharma and Dhaumya and Indrasena and others, procuring sandal, aloe and other kinds of wood used on such occasions, as also clarified butter and oil and perfumes and costly silken robes and other kinds of cloth, and large heaps of dry wood, and broken cars and diverse kinds of weapons, caused funeral pyres to be duly made and lighted and then without haste burnt, with due rites the slain kings in proper order.
Mbh.12.38.2043	Accompanied by his priest Dhaumya and his eldest uncle, the son of Kunti cheerfully worshipped, with due rites, those Brahmanas with gift of sweets, gems, and gold in profusion, and kine and robes, O monarch, and with diverse other articles that each desired.
Mbh.12.40.2102	Sudharman and Vidura, and Dhaumya, and the Kuru king Dhritarashtra, each sat separately on separate seats that blazed with the effulgence of fire.
Mbh.12.40.2108	Then the priest Dhaumya, at the request of Krishna, constructed, according to rule, an altar gradually inclining towards the cast and the north.
Mbh.12.41.2139	And he appointed Dhaumya, the foremost of priests, to attend daily to the Brahmanas and all rites in honour of the gods and other acts of a religious kind.
Mbh.12.44.2212	Yuyutsu and Vidura and Sanjaya, O monarch, and Sudharman and Dhaumya, proceeded to the abodes they had owned before
Mbh.12.45.2222	Unto his priest Dhaumya he gave kine in thousands and much wealth and gold and silver and robes of diverse kinds.
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.12.207.12591	Upangu, Karusha, Dhaumya, Parivyadha of great energy, and those great Rishis called Ekata, Dwita, and Trita, and Atri's son, viz, the illustrious and puissant Saraswata, these high-souled ones reside in the west.
Mbh.13.14.1024	I was born as the son of that Rishi and Dhaumya took birth as my younger brother.
Mbh.13.14.1025	On a certain occasion, Madhava, accompanied by Dhaumya, I came upon the asylum of certain Rishis of cleansed souls.
Mbh.13.26.3513	There were also Nitambhu and Bhuvana and Dhaumya and Satananda and Akritavrana and Rama, the son of Jamadagni and Kacha.
Mbh.13.127.11069	Dhaumya said, Broken utensils, broken bedsteads, cocks and, dogs, as also such trees as have grown within the dwelling houses, are all inauspicious objects.
Mbh.13.139.11418	For beholding him who had gone through the rite of initiation for the observance of his great vow, there came to that place Narada and Parvata, and the Island-born Krishna, and Dhaumya, that foremost of silent reciters, and Devala, and Kasyapa, and Hastikasyapa.
Mbh.13.165.13705	They are Atri, Vasishtha, Saktri, Parasara's son Vyasa of great energy; Viswamitra, Bharadwaja, Jamadagni, the son of Richika, Rama, Auddalaka, Swetaketu, Kohala, Vipula, Devala, Devasarman, Dhaumya, Hastikasyapa, Lomasa, Nachiketa, Lomaharsana, Ugrasravas, and Bhrigu's son Chyavana.
Mbh.14.65.2939	Gratifying the sacrificial fire with libations of sanctified butter according to the ordinance, the priest Dhaumya cooked Charu with the aid of Mantras and performed the necessary rites.
Mbh.14.65.2942	With diverse kinds of flowers and with fried paddy, of very superior kind, Dhaumya, well-versed in the Vedas, performed the remaining rites.
Mbh.14.65.2960	Having loaded these vehicles with that wealth and once more worshipping the great deity Siva, the son of Pandu set out for the city called after the elephant, with the permission of the Island-born Rishi, and placing his priest Dhaumya in the van.
Mbh.15.15.638	Vrikodara, the heroic Phalguna, the two sons of Madri, Vidura, Sanjaya, Dhritarashtra's son by his Vaisya wife, and Kripa, and Dhaumya, and other Brahmanas, all followed the old monarch, with voices choked in grief.
Mbh.15.23.925	Yuyutsu of mighty energy, and Dhaumya, the priest at the command of Yudhishthira, were engaged in protecting the city.
