Dwaipayana

Mbh.1.1.14	The Rishi replied, The Purana, first promulgated by the great Rishi Dwaipayana, and which after having been heard both by the gods and the Brahmarshis was highly esteemed, being the most eminent narrative that exists, diversified both in diction and division, possessing subtile meanings logically combined, and gleaned from the Vedas, is a sacred work.
Mbh.1.1.17	We are desirous of hearing that history also called Bharata, the holy composition of the wonderful Vyasa, which dispelleth the fear of evil, just as it was cheerfully recited by the Rishi Vaisampayana, under the direction of Dwaipayana himself, at the snake-sacrifice of Raja Janamejaya'
Mbh.1.1.47	The son of Satyavati having, by penance and meditation, analysed the eternal Veda, afterwards composed this holy history, when that learned Brahmarshi of strict vows, the noble Dwaipayana Vyasa, offspring of Parasara, had finished this greatest of narrations, he began to consider how he might teach it to his disciples.
Mbh.1.1.48	And the possessor of the six attributes, Brahma, the world's preceptor, knowing of the anxiety of the Rishi Dwaipayana, came in person to the place where the latter was, for gratifying the saint, and benefiting the people.
Mbh.1.1.194	When I heard that upon the embryo in the womb of Virata's daughter being wounded by Aswatthaman with a mighty weapon, Dwaipayana and Krishna pronounced curses on him, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success.
Mbh.1.1.227	Taking these facts for his subject, Dwaipayana composed a holy Upanishad that has been published to the world by learned and sacred bards in the Puranas composed by them.
Mbh.1.2.366	The Sambhava parva narrates the birth of various kings and heroes, and that of the sage, Krishna Dwaipayana: the partial incarnations of deities, the generation of Danavas and Yakshas of great prowess, and serpents, Gandharvas, birds, and of all creatures; and lastly, of the life and adventures of king Bharata, the progenitor of the line that goes by his name, the son born of Sakuntala in the hermitage of the ascetic Kanwa.
Mbh.1.2.484	Seeing the wicked Aswatthaman's destructive intentions, Dwaipayana and Krishna pronounced curses on him which the latter returned.
Mbh.1.2.584	The Bharata uttered by the lips of Dwaipayana is without a parallel; it is virtue itself and sacred.
Mbh.1.55.2737	Like the sacrifice of Krishna Dwaipayana, the son of Satyavati, in which he himself was the chief priest, is this sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit Let those dear unto us be blessed!
Mbh.1.55.2740	It is my conviction that there is no Ritwik in all the worlds who is equal to thy Ritwik, Dwaipayana.
Mbh.1.63.3142	And because he was born in an island, he was called Dwaipayana Dwaipa or islandborn.
Mbh.1.63.3143	And the learned Dwaipayana, beholding that virtue is destined to become lame by one leg each yuga she having four legs in all and that the period of life and the strength of men followed the yugas, and moved by the desire of obtaining the favour of Brahman and the Brahmanas, arranged the Vedas.
Mbh.1.63.3175	And from Dwaipayana also born, in the Sudra caste, the wise and intelligent Vidura, conversant with both religion and profit, and free from all sins.
Mbh.1.95.5225	Vaisampayana said, Hear then, O monarch, as I recite in full the auspicious account of thy own race just as I had heard it from Dwaipayana before.
Mbh.1.95.5291	And in her maidenhood she had a son by Parasara, named Dwaipayana.
Mbh.1.95.5297	Then she recollected the Rishi Dwaipayana.
Mbh.1.95.5301	Dwaipayana, consenting to this, begat three children, viz, Dhritarashtra, Pandu, and Vidura.
Mbh.1.95.5302	King Dhritarashtra had a hundred sons by his wife, Gandhari in consequence of the boon granted by Dwaipayana.
Mbh.1.105.5910	And the child of Parasara so born of me in my maidenhood hath become a great Rishi endued with large ascetic powers and known by the name of Dwaipayana the island-born.
Mbh.1.105.5919	And when Bhishma had said this, O thou of Kuru's race, Kali Satyavati thought of the Muni Dwaipayana and Dwaipayana who was then engaged in interpreting the Vedas, learning that he was being called up by his mother, came instantly unto her without anybody's knowing it.
Mbh.1.106.6003	Thus were born, in the field of Vichitravirya, even of Dwaipayana those sons of the splendour of celestial children, those propagators of the Kuru race
Mbh.1.110.6085	Its glory maintained and itself perpetuated by many virtuous and illustrious monarchs of old, the illustrious Krishna Dwaipayana and Satyavati and myself have raised you three up, in order that it may not be extinct.
Mbh.1.115.6229	Vaisampayana said, One day Gandhari entertained with respectful attention the great Dwaipayana who came to her abode, exhausted with hunger and fatigue.
Mbh.1.115.6236	When she was about to throw it away, Dwaipayana, learning everything by his spiritual powers, promptly came there, and that first of ascetics beholding that ball of flesh, addressed the daughter of Suvala thus, What hast thou done'
Mbh.1.115.6248	And having said this and made these arrangements, the wise Dwaipayana went to the Himavat mountains for devoting himself to asceticism.

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.2.32.1397	And Dwaipayana, O king, then appointed as sacrificial priests exalted Brahmanas that were like the Vedas themselves in embodied forms.
Mbh.2.36.1508	When old Dwaipayana is here, how hath Krishna been worshipped by thee?

Mbh.3.24.1156	And O bull of the Bharata race, thou hast always waited with reverence upon Brahmanas including Dwaipayana and others, and Narada of great ascetic merit, who with senses under control, ever goeth to the gates of all the world from the world of the gods unto that of Brahma, including that of the Gandharvas and Apsaras!
Mbh.3.26.1238	And Dwaipayana and Narada and Jamadagnya and Prithusravas; and Indradyumna and Bhalaki and Kritachetas and Sahasrapat; and Karnasravas and Munja and Lavanaswa and Kasyapa; and Harita and Sthulakarana and Agnivesya and Saunaka; and Kritavak and Suvakana Vrihadaswa and Vibhavasu; and Urdharetas and Vrishamitra and Suhotra and Hotravahana; these and many other Brahmanas of rigid vows then adored Yudhishthira like Rishis adoring Purandara in heaven
Mbh.3.37.1914	I have obtained a science from Krishna Dwaipayana.
Mbh.3.48.2478	Vaisampayana said, Amvika's son, king Dhritarashtra, having heard of Arjuna's arrival and stay at Indra's abode, from Dwaipayana, that foremost of Rishis, spake unto Sanjaya, saying, O charioteer, dost thou know in detail the acts of the intelligent Arjuna, of which I have heard from beginning to end?
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.
