MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.1.2.378 The subjects of this parva are the establishment of the grand hall by the Pandavas; their review of their retainers; the description of the lokapalas by Narada well-acquainted with the celestial regions; the preparations for the Rajasuya sacrifice; the destruction of Jarasandha; the deliverance by Vasudeva of the princes confined in the mountain-pass; the campaign of universal conquest by the Pandavas; the arrival of the princes at the Rajasuya sacrifice with tribute; the destruction of Sisupala on the occasion of the sacrifice, in connection with offering of arghya; Bhimasena's ridicule of Duryodhana in the assembly; Duryodhana's sorrow and envy at the sight of the magnificent scale on which the arrangements had been made; the indignation of Duryodhana in consequence, and the preparations for the game of dice; the defeat of Yudhishthira at play by the wily Sakuni; the deliverance by Dhritarashtra of his afflicted daughter-in-law Draupadi plunged in the sea of distress caused by the gambling, as of a boat tossed about by the tempestuous waves.
Mbh.1.2.382 Then comes the third parva called Aranyaka relating to the forest This parva treats of the wending of the Pandavas to the forest and the citizens, following the wise Yudhishthira, Yudhishthira's adoration of the god of day; according to the injunctions of Dhaumya, to be gifted with the power of maintaining the dependent Brahmanas with food and drink: the creation of food through the grace of the Sun: the expulsion by Dhritarashtra of Vidura who always spoke for his master's good; Vidura's coming to the Pandavas and his return to Dhritarashtra at the solicitation of the latter; the wicked Duryodhana's plottings to destroy the forest-ranging Pandavas, being incited thereto by Karna; the appearance of Vyasa and his dissuasion of Duryodhana bent on going to the forest; the history of Surabhi; the arrival of Maitreya; his laying down to Dhritarashtra the course of action; and his curse on Duryodhana; Bhima's slaying of Kirmira in battle; the coming of the Panchalas and the princes of the Vrishni race to Yudhishthira on hearing of his defeat at the unfair gambling by Sakuni; Dhananjaya's allaying the wrath of Krishna; Draupadi's lamentations before Madhava; Krishna's cheering her; the fall of Sauva also has been here described by the Rishi; also Krishna's bringing Subhadra with her son to Dwaraka; and Dhrishtadyumna's bringing the son of Draupadi to Panchala; the entrance of the sons of Pandu into the romantic Dwaita wood; conversation of Bhima, Yudhishthira, and Draupadi; the coming of Vyasa to the Pandavas and his endowing Yudhishthira with the power of Pratismriti; then, after the departure of Vyasa, the removal of the Pandavas to the forest of Kamyaka; the wanderings of Arjuna of immeasurable prowess in search of weapons; his battle with Mahadeva in the guise of a hunter; his meeting with the lokapalas and receipt of weapons from them; his journey to the regions of Indra for arms and the consequent anxiety of Dhritarashtra; the wailings and lamentations of Yudhishthira on the occasion of his meeting with the worshipful great sage Brihadaswa.
Mbh.1.2.465 Then comes the encounter with clubs, between Duryodhana and Bhima; then the arrival, at the time of such encounter, of Balarama: then is described the sacredness of the Saraswati; then the progress of the encounter with clubs; then the fracture of Duryodhana's thighs in battle by Bhima with a terrific hurl of his mace.
Mbh.1.2.471 Having spoken those words, the three warriors leaving Duryodhana's side entered the great forest just as the sun was setting.
Mbh.1.67.3510 They who had been the sons of Pulastya the Rakshasas were born on earth among men of Duryodhana's brothers, that century of wicked individuals commencing with Duhasasana as their first.
Mbh.1.95.5334 So all Duryodhana's efforts proved futile.
Mbh.1.115.6251 The news of Duryodhana's birth was carried to Bhishma and the wise Vidura.
Mbh.1.139.7426 Vaisampayana continued, Then there arose a confused murmur amongst the spectators approving of Duryodhana's speech.
Mbh.1.149.7916 If we are burnt to death here, Duryodhana's most cherished desire will be satisfied.
Mbh.1.152.7970 After extinguishing the fire, they saw that the house just burnt down had been built of lac in materials and that Duryodhana's counsellor Purochana had been burnt to death.
Mbh.1.152.7978 The citizens then sent to Dhritarashtra to inform him that the Pandavas along with Duryodhana's counsellor Purochana had been burnt to death.
Mbh.1.206.10191 Possessed of every virtue thou art I long ago told thee, O monarch that for Duryodhana's fault, the subjects of this kingdom would be exterminated
Mbh.2.66.2725 Yudhishthira, however, O bull of the Bharata race, hearing of Duryodhana's intentions, sent a trusted messenger unto Draupadi, directing that although she was attired in one piece of cloth with her navel itself exposed, in consequence of her season having come, she should come before her father-in-law weeping bitterly.
Mbh.2.78.3381 And appealing before them all, he uttered these terrible words, On the fourteenth year hence, the Kauravas, in consequence of Duryodhana's fault, will all be destroyed by the might of Bhima and Arjuna.
Mbh.3.37.1910 The whole earth, besides, is now under Duryodhana's sway, with all the villages and towns, O son of Pritha, and all the seas and woods and mines!
Mbh.3.120.6128 I shall baffle Duryodhana's volleys of arms by my own excellent weapons.
Mbh.3.244.12171 And going unto the king, they represented unto him everything about Duryodhana's conduct.
Mbh.3.249.12327 Meanwhile the fierce Daityas and the Danavas who had been defeated of old by the celestials and had been dwelling in the nether regions having ascertained Duryodhana's purpose and knowing that if the king died their party would be weakened, commenced a sacrifice with fire for summoning Duryodhana to their presence.
Mbh.4.26.1153 When Karna ceased, Duryodhana's second brother Dussasana, wedded to a sinful disposition, then addressed his eldest brother and said, O monarch, O lord of men, let those spies only in whom we have confidence, receiving their rewards in advance, once more go after the search.
Mbh.4.65.2533 And beholding Duryodhana turn back with his wounds, Karna, that hero among men, decked with a golden necklace, stopped the king on the way and soothing him, himself proceeded along the north of Duryodhana's car to meet Partha in battle.
Mbh.4.65.2563 And having worshipped the aged grandsire, the son of Santanu, as also the preceptor Drona, and having saluted with beautiful arrows Drona's son and Kripa and other venerable ones among the Kurus, the son of Pritha broke into fragments Duryodhana's crown decked with precious gems, with another arrow.
Mbh.5.19.842 And, O descendant of Bharata, there was no space in the city of Hastinapura even for the principal leaders of Duryodhana's army.
Mbh.5.20.847 And he spoke the following words in the midst of all the leaders of Duryodhana's army, The eternal duties of kings are known to you all.
Mbh.5.22.920 It is childish on Duryodhana's part to think that it is possible to rob the Pandavas of their just share so long as they are alive.
Mbh.5.27.1151 You might have then brought low Duryodhana's pride.
Mbh.5.48.2675 That bed of woe in the woods which was Yudhishthira's when that virtuous son of Pandu lived in exile; Oh, let a more painful bed than that, on the bare earth, be now Duryodhana's and let him lie down on it, as his last, deprived of life.
Mbh.5.72.3649 All the Kshatriyas of the world, obedient to Duryodhana's command, are assembled there.
Mbh.5.74.3728 Alas, by Duryodhana's wrath, O slayer of Madhu, the Bharatas will all be consumed, even like forests by fire at the end of the dewy seasons, and, O slayer of Madhu, well-known are those eighteen kings that annihilated their kinsmen, friends, and relatives.
Mbh.5.79.3861 Knowing, therefore, Duryodhana's heart and what my most cherished wishes are, why then dost thou, O Arjuna, entertain such apprehensions in respect of myself like one unacquainted with everything?
Mbh.5.86.4098 Let Dussasana's abode, which is better than Duryodhana's, be cleansed and well-adorned without delay.
Mbh.5.86.4100 It is in that abode that all my wealth, as also Duryodhana's, are deposited.
Mbh.5.90.4276 Vaisampayana continued, Bidding her farewell and respectfully walking round her, the mighty-armed Govinda then departed for Duryodhana's mansion
Mbh.5.91.4277 SECTION XCI Vaisampayana said, With Pritha's leave and having walked round her, the chastiser of foes, Govinda, also called Sauri, went to Duryodhana's palace that was furnished with great wealth, adorned with beautiful seats, and was like unto the abode of Purandara himself.
Mbh.5.137.6174 And they also said, Through Duryodhana's folly, all this is doomed to destruction'
Mbh.5.143.6394 O Kesava, amongst the steeds, elephants and soldiers, in all the divisions of Duryodhana's army, it is seen, O slayer of Madhu, that while small is the food these take, ample is the excreta they evacuate.
Mbh.5.143.6398 The same animal, O Kesava, pass by the left side of Duryodhana's army, while incorporeal voices are constantly heard over their heads.
Mbh.5.143.6402 The wells in the midst of Duryodhana's encampment send forth loud roars like those of huge bulls.
Mbh.5.143.6404 The gods are showering flesh and blood, O Madhava, on Duryodhana's soldiers.
Mbh.5.143.6415 The, eastern horizon of Duryodhana's encampment appeareth red; the southern of the hue of weapons; and western, O slayer of Madhu, of an earthy hue.
Mbh.5.143.6416 All the quarters around Duryodhana's encampment seem, O Madhava, to be ablaze.
Mbh.5.144.6463 The grandsire Bhishma, the son of Santanu, the preceptor Drona, who is the foremost of warriors, and Karna, having embraced Duryodhana's side, enhance my fears.
Mbh.5.156.6930 In Duryodhana's army, there were thousands and hundred of such Ganas consisting of warriors capable of smiting the foe and longing for battle.
Mbh.5.169.7665 Bhishma said, This burden, vast as the ocean, in the matter of Duryodhana's battle with the Pandavas, is about to be taken up by me.
Mbh.6.14.724 What heroic warriors, again, at Duryodhana's command, stood around that hero for protecting him?
Mbh.6.14.731 When for Duryodhana's good, that slayer of foes, Bhishma, achieved terrible feats in battle, who were then in his van?
Mbh.6.14.782 I will listen to all those sorrows arising from Duryodhana's act.
Mbh.6.16.825 All of them, cased in black deer-skins, endued with great strength, accomplished in battle, and cheerfully prepared, for Duryodhana's sake, to ascend to the region of Brahma stood there commanding ten efficient Akshauhinis.
Mbh.6.17.865 Paurava and the ruler of the Kalingas, and Salya, these Rathas took up their position in Duryodhana's van.
Mbh.6.43.2138 After Bhishma is slain, O son of Radha, thou mayst then again engage in battle on Duryodhana's side, if thou hast no preference for any of the parties,
Mbh.6.43.2140 Devoted to Duryodhana's good, know that I have cast off my life for him,
Mbh.6.52.2693 O thou of Vrishni's race, it is evident that this Bhishma, with wrath excited, will annihilate for Duryodhana's benefit my host.
Mbh.6.58.3062 And beholding the army flying away, the mighty Bhishma and Drona, excited with rage and both desirous of Duryodhana's welfare sought to cheek it.
Mbh.6.59.3228 Thereupon, Arjuna, baffling with seven shafts the seven javelins, fleet as arrows, shot by Bhurisravas, cut off with another keen-edged shaft the lance hurled from Duryodhana's arm.
Mbh.6.62.3336 O child, I am incessantly hearing of countless cause of unbearable and poignant grief on account of Duryodhana's doing.
Mbh.6.80.4170 And then he pierced Duryodhana's bow with two shafts, and his charioteer with two.
Mbh.6.80.4171 And with four shafts he despatched Duryodhana's four steeds to the regions of Yama.
Mbh.6.93.4895 On the field of battle, with the mighty elephant of great speed, Bhagadatta placed himself in the very front of Duryodhana's car.
Mbh.6.93.4897 Beholding then the way to Duryodhana's car thus covered by the intelligent king of the Vangas, the eyes of Ghatotkacha, O king, became red in anger.
Mbh.6.93.4915 Then commenced a fierce battle, making the hair stand on end, between those Rakshasas on the one side and that foremost of Duryodhana's divisions on the other.
Mbh.6.97.5132 Alas, for Duryodhana's, fault, and also of Sakuni the son of Suvala, as also through the evil counsels of Karna, the Kshatriya race is being exterminated, O slayer of Madhu, I now understand, O mighty-armed one, that the king acted wisely by begging of Suyodhana only half the kingdom, or, instead, only five villages.
Mbh.6.103.5524 And in consequence of those huge elephants fleeing away on all sides, Duryodhana's troops once more, O bull of Bharata's race, fled away from the field
Mbh.6.104.5571 And the Kshatriyas, beholding that awful carnage, all exclaimed, saying, Alas, through Duryodhana's fault the Kshatriyas are being exterminated.
Mbh.6.108.5811 He said, I will give thee counsel, but fight I shall never for thee, since I shall have to fight for Duryodhana's sake.
Mbh.6.112.6092 Accepting Duryodhana's words with the answer, So be it, those mighty car-warriors fought with Sini's grandson in the view of Bhishma.
Mbh.6.117.6342 Then in that battle, Arjuna's son, inflamed with wrath, hurled at Duryodhana's car a terrible dart resembling the rod of Death himself.
Mbh.6.124.6904 Like Vasudeva's son who is firmly resolved for the sake of the Pandavas, I also, O thou that makest profuse presents to Brahmanas, am prepared to cast away my possessions, my body itself, my children, and my wife, for Duryodhana's sake!
Mbh.7.1.40 if thou, however, succeedest in slaying the sons of Pandu in great battle, I shall, O Kaurava, with Duryodhana's permission, retire into the woods.
Mbh.7.2.85 O charioteer, I know that even this is what I should do, when women and children cry for help, or when Duryodhana's prowess sustains a check.
Mbh.7.4.137 The Kiratas, fierce in battle, dwelling in the fastness of Himavat, were formerly, O Karna, made by thee to own Duryodhana's sway.
Mbh.7.16.741 This very moment Drona having seized Yudhishthira, will, filled, with joy, assuredly come to us and Duryodhana's presence.
Mbh.7.17.802 Then Duryodhana's troops, filled with joy at Arjuna's absence from Yudhishthira's side, became furious for the seizure of Yudhishthira.
Mbh.7.18.828 And stricken with panic, they all fled away to where Duryodhana's forces were.
Mbh.7.18.834 Having, in the sight of all the troops, taken those terrible steps, repairing thither, what shall ye say unto the leaders of Duryodhana's host?
Mbh.7.23.1201 Duryodhana's son, Lakshmana, resisted the slayer of the Patachcharas, him, that is, O king, who is regarded by both the armies as the bravest of the brave.
Mbh.7.24.1249 Then the son of Pandu, with a couple of broad-headed arrows, quickly cut off Duryodhana's bow as also his standard, bearing the device of a jewelled elephant, decked with diverse gems.
Mbh.7.35.1812 Then many grateful and mighty warriors, having Duryodhana's good at heart, and always graced with victory, inspired with fear, surrounded thy son.
Mbh.7.45.2150 Those kings, armed with swords and bows, fled away, uttering words inimical to king Duryodhana's Interest.
Mbh.7.77.3359 Duryodhana's brothers are all possessed of great prowess.
Mbh.7.83.3672 Duryodhana, however, did set aside him of Dasarha's race, that bull among all bowmen, who then spoke what was for Duryodhana's good.
Mbh.7.91.4163 Sanjaya said, Having said these words, Drona, that foremost of persons conversant with Brahma, touching water, and duly uttering certain Mantras, speedily tied that highly wonderful and bright armour on Duryodhana's body for the victory of thy son in that dreadful battle and causing by that act all persons there to be filled with amazement.
Mbh.7.97.4495 And some lords of earth there, O king, amongst themselves, having seen that highly wonderful incident in battle never seen before said, Alas, through Duryodhana's fault, these warriors of king Dhritarashtra, the Kshatriyas, and the whole earth, fallen into great distress, are being destroyed.
Mbh.7.100.4618 All those shafts, however, were repelled by Duryodhana's armour.
Mbh.7.100.4620 But these too were repelled by Duryodhana's armour.
Mbh.7.100.4627 Great hath been my amazement, O Partha, upon seeing all these shafts of thine fall towards Duryodhana's car, without producing the slightest effect.
Mbh.7.100.4629 Arjuna said, I think, O Krishna, that this armour hath been put on Duryodhana's body by Drona.
Mbh.7.100.4658 And soon also the valiant Partha cut off Duryodhana's bow and the leathern fence of his fingers.
Mbh.7.109.5218 I shall have also to encounter the Kiratas who are armed with diverse weapons of warfare, who resemble virulent poison, who are accomplished in smiting, who have always been well-treated by Duryodhana, and who on that account are always intent on Duryodhana's welfare.
Mbh.7.125.6267 He who, for Duryodhana's sake, had vanquished, by the energy of his weapons, the mighty king of the Gandharvas, that Partha, by good luck, liveth still.
Mbh.7.125.6271 Shall the ruler of the Sindhus who is devoted to Duryodhana's welfare, slain by Phalguna, gladden his foes?
Mbh.7.126.6283 Who, amongst those devoted to Duryodhana's welfare stood in battle before Bhimasena excited with rage and engaged in slaughtering my sons?
Mbh.7.127.6367 Then Uttamaujas also, excited with wrath, pierced Duryodhana's charioteer with shafts decked with gold, and despatched him to Yama's abode.
Mbh.7.127.6370 Ascending on the car of his brother, he struck Duryodhana's steeds with many shafts.
Mbh.7.127.6372 Upon the fall of his steeds, the valiant Yudhamanyu then, by a mighty weapon, quickly cut off Duryodhana's bow and then with another shaft, his leathern fence.
Mbh.7.145.7598 Many royal warriors endued with great prowess, equal to thee or superior have been united together at Duryodhana's command.
Mbh.7.150.7871 Piercing through Duryodhana's vital limbs, those passed out and entered the earth in a continuous line.
Mbh.7.155.8371 With them, O lowest of men, whom thou always regardest to be so mighty, I shall strive, to the utmost extent of my might, to contend in battle, for Duryodhana's good.
Mbh.7.160.8681 For Duryodhana's sake, many such were seen to come from Narada and Parvata in especial, lighting up that darkness.
Mbh.7.163.8852 Baffling those shafts shot from Duryodhana's bow, Bhima pierced the Kuru king with five and twenty short arrows.
Mbh.7.169.9126 He then, with other shafts, despatched Duryodhana's steeds to Yama's abode.
Mbh.7.169.9131 Upon Duryodhana's retreat, the grandson of Sini, O monarch, afflicted and routed thy army at dead of night.
Mbh.7.172.9323 Seizing that blood-dyed head by the hair, Ghatotkacha quickly proceeded towards Duryodhana's car.
Mbh.7.172.9324 Approaching the Kuru king, the mighty-armed Rakshasa, smiling the while, threw upon Duryodhana's car that head with frightful face and hair.
Mbh.7.187.10308 Smilingly, O king, Satyaki ceaselessly shot multitudes of shafts at Duryodhana's car.
Mbh.8.1.9 Those four passed that night together in Duryodhana's tent, reflecting upon the woes they had inflicted upon the high-souled Pandavas.
Mbh.8.6.170 Having made a great slaughter among the foe, he was encountered by Duryodhana's son, the brave Lakshmana, in battle and despatched to Yama's abode.
Mbh.8.8.250 Unvanquished by even the most heroic and the mightiest of monarchs, he had, Duryodhana's aggrandisement, subjugated the whole earth.
Mbh.8.9.281 The fulfilment of Duryodhana's wishes is even like locomotion to one that is lame, or the gratification of the poor man's desire, or stray drops of water to one that is thirsty!
Mbh.8.9.299 He who vanquished all the Kambojas and the Amvashthas with the Kaikeyas, that puissant one, who, having for the accomplishment of his purpose vanquished the Gandharas and the Videhas in battle, subjugated the whole Earth for the sake of Duryodhana's aggrandisement, alas, he hath been vanquished by the heroic and strong Pandavas endued with mighty arms!
Mbh.8.23.967 Having vanquished the Kuru warrior thus, the son of Pandu, beholding Duryodhana's division, began to crush it on all sides.
Mbh.8.28.1188 With four shafts that mighty car-warrior then slew the four steeds of his foe, and with the fifth he cut off from his trunk the head of Duryodhana's driver.
Mbh.8.29.1253 Casting aside his broken bow, with eyes red in wrath, Dharma's son took up another bow at the head of his forces, and then cut off Duryodhana's standard and bow.
Mbh.8.31.1367 Alas, these heartrending sorrows, due to Duryodhana's acts, many in number and like unto terrible darts, are now being borne by, me, O Sanjaya!
Mbh.8.50.2819 In my sight have the armour and robes of the king been cut off and torn, for Duryodhana's gratification, by Radha's son of wicked soul.
Mbh.8.56.3157 Covered with Duryodhana's shafts the two sons of Pandu ceased to shine brightly, like the Sun and the Moon in the firmament, divested of splendour, when shrouded by masses of clouds.
Mbh.8.57.3303 When Duryodhana's force became thus filled with joy, the son of Drona, gladdening all thy warriors further said, In the very sight of all the troops, and before the eyes of you all, my father after he had laid aside his weapons, was slain by Dhrishtadyumna.
Mbh.8.60.3456 The force of the heroic Duryodhana's shafts, or Drona's son's or Kripa's or Karna's would break down the very mountains.
Mbh.8.60.3541 Full three akshauhinis of Duryodhana's soldiers had been assembled together in front of Bhima.
Mbh.8.66.3824 Ever engaged in Duryodhana's good, he was always prepared to inflict woe on us!
Mbh.8.73.4365 Of terrible deeds and exceedingly fierce, the Tusharas, the Yavanas, the Khasas, the Darvabhisaras, the Daradas, the Sakas, the Kamathas, the Ramathas, the Tanganas the Andhrakas, the Pulindas, the Kiratas of fierce prowess, the Mlecchas, the Mountaineers, and the races hailing from the sea-side, all endued with great wrath and great might, delighting in battle and armed with maces, these all, united with the Kurus and fighting wrathfully for Duryodhana's sake were incapable of being vanquished in battle by anybody else save thee, O scorcher of foes!
Mbh.8.77.4709 When that tiger among men, Shakuni was thus taken up on Duryodhana's car, the Dhartarashtra troops, turning their faces from battle, fled away on all sides inspired with fear on that occasion of great terror due to Bhimasena.
Mbh.8.85.5204 Today I will, in battle, slay thee that art the root of this quarrel and that hast become so proud in consequence of Duryodhana's patronage.
Mbh.8.88.5417 Then Drona's son, catching hold of Duryodhana's hand, and adopting a soothing tone, addressed thy son, saying, Be gratified, O Duryodhana!
Mbh.8.89.5544 Even thus, Partha, decked with diadem and garlands, wounded and slew all the foremost warriors of Duryodhana's army with his terrible and death-dealing shafts.
Mbh.8.89.5596 Then that slayer of foes, that bull of Kuru's race, that foremost of heroes, viz, Savyasaci, O king, soon slew in that battle foremost of Kuru warriors, with their cars and steeds and drivers, forming the protectors of Karna's car-wheels and wings and his van-guard and rear-guard and who constituted the very pick of Duryodhana's car-force, and who, urged by Duryodhana, had been fighting with great energy.
Mbh.9.1.19 After Duryodhana's slaughter, the three car-warriors of the Kuru side that were still unslain Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma, filled with rage, O monarch, slaughtered the Pancala troops in the night.
Mbh.9.1.26 The whole city, O tiger among men, including the very children, hearing of Duryodhana's death, sent forth notes of lamentation from every side.
Mbh.9.16.959 The steeds of Duryodhana's car, deprived of their driver, ran wildly on all sides, O Bharata, dragging the car after them, at which loud wails arose in the Kuru army.
Mbh.9.21.1321 There was then not a man amongst the Pandavas in that great battle, or a steed, or an elephant, or a car, that was not struck with Duryodhana's arrows.
Mbh.9.22.1531 Those words of the sages, O Janardana, are now being realised, since the Kshatriyas are undergoing almost entire extermination in consequence of Duryodhana's acts!
Mbh.9.25.1676 Those three, Kripa and Kritavarma and the mighty car-warrior Ashvatthama, have left Duryodhana's side and taken up their position elsewhere!
Mbh.9.25.1677 Having slain Duryodhana's troops, the Pancala prince stayeth yonder, endued with great beauty, in the midst of the Prabhadrakas.
Mbh.9.25.1696 These, O Madhava, form the remnant of Duryodhana's force!
Mbh.9.27.1852 In Duryodhana's army then, O monarch, which had numbered many hundred thousands of warriors, not another great car-warrior was seen to be alive, save the heroic son of Drona, and Kritavarma, and Kripa the son of Gotama, O monarch, and that lord of the earth, thy son!
Mbh.9.31.2274 This mace of mine is heavier than Duryodhana's by one and a half times!
Mbh.9.54.3921 Applauded by all, Duryodhana's hair stood erect with joy and he firmly set his heart on battle.
Mbh.9.55.3972 Marking the violence of the wind produced by the whirl of Duryodhana's mace, a great fear entered the hearts of all the Pandus and the Somakas.
Mbh.9.61.4402 In consequence of Duryodhana's slaughter, all this has not been fruitless, O thou of unfading glory!
Mbh.9.63.4539 SECTION Sanjaya said, Having heard of Duryodhana's fall from the messengers, those mighty car-warriors, the unslain remnant of the Kaurava army, exceedingly wounded with keen shafts, and maces and lances and darts, those three, Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, came quickly on their fleet steeds to the field of battle.
Mbh.12.4.169 Armed with sword, clad in mail, and his fingers cased in leathern fences, Karna, that foremost of all wielders of weapons riding on his car, proceeded along Duryodhana's rear.
Mbh.12.7.235 Duryodhana's heart was always set upon guile.
Mbh.12.7.251 We also have, through Duryodhana's fault, been lost for eternity, like suns burning everything around them with their own energy.
Mbh.12.7.253 Alas, for Duryodhana's acts alone, this race of ours has been exterminated.
Mbh.12.44.2204 The mighty-armed Arjuna also, at the command of the king, obtained the palace of Dussasana which was not inferior to Duryodhana's and which consisted of many excellent structures and was adorned with a gate-way of gold, and which abounded in wealth and was full of attendants of both sexes.
Mbh.13.1.136 This evil has neither been of thy own creation, nor of Duryodhana's.
Mbh.14.3.74 Through Duryodhana's fault, O best of ascetics, the kings of the Earth have met with destruction, and we have reaped ignominy.
Mbh.14.60.2765 After that, Karna became the generalissimo of Duryodhana's forces.
Mbh.15.8.423 Ye foremost of men, I think that happiness has been greater than what I could expect from Duryodhana's sovereignty.
