Mbh.3.12.639	O God, O thou of eyes like lotus leaves, the deeds thou hast performed while still a boy, having recourse to thy might and aided by Baladeva, have never been done by others, nor are they capable of being achieved by others in the future!
Mbh.3.30.1445	An old history is cited as an illustration for the truth that men are subjects to the will of God and never to their own wishes!

Mbh.3.30.1471	If the act done pursueth the doer and none else, then certainly it is God himself who is stained with the sin of every act.
Mbh.3.30.1472	If however, the sin of an act done doth not attach to the doer, then individual might and not God is the true cause of acts, and I grieve for those that have no might

Mbh.3.32.1564	This body is only the instruments in the hands of God, for doing the acts that are done.
Mbh.3.32.1565	Itself, inert, it doth as God urgeth it to do.

Mbh.3.141.7209	And, O thou that never fallest off, when the God of gods began to perform the functions of Yama, there died not a creature while the births were as usual.
Mbh.3.162.8235	And, O Bharata, repairing thither, and attaining that universal Soul, the self-create and eternal God of gods, high-souled ones, of Yoga success, and free from ignorance and pride have not to return to this world.

Mbh.3.182.9070	And, O best of those that are proficient in the knowledge of God, how is it that men's actions follow them?
Mbh.3.182.9099	Man with his subtle original body created by God lays up a great store of virtue and vice.

Mbh.3.270.13162	The God Narayana is his friend.
Mbh.3.270.13172	And that adorable and omnipotent God thus slept on the bosom of the deep, enveloping all space with nocturnal gloom.

Mbh.5.48.2763	The God of justice himself, I am sure, will bring destruction on that sinful man who will fight with the Pandavas.
Mbh.5.50.2864	That hero, who, for the gratification of Agni, with Krishna only for his second, bravely vanquished of yore Purandara in fight; he who gratified by combat that God of gods, the trident-bearing lord of Uma, Mahadeva himself having the mountains for his abode; that foremost of warriors who subjugated all the kings of the earth, with that Vijaya as their ally the Pandavas will encounter you in battle.
Mbh.5.83.3985	And the son of Kunti embraced that foremost of all persons, who never, from desire, or anger, or fear, or purpose of gain committed the least wrong, whose mind was ever steady, who was a stranger to covetousness, who was conversant with morality and endued with great intelligence and wisdom, who knew the hearts of all creatures and was the lord of all, who was the God of gods, who was eternal, who was possessed of every virtue, and who bore the auspicious mark on his breast.
Mbh.5.108.4977	SECTION CVIII Garuda said, O Galava, commanded I have been by God, who is the cause of all knowledge.
Mbh.5.112.5139	Indeed, Death is God himself.
Mbh.5.124.5537	Then also the marvellous account that is heard of what happened at Virata's city, touching that encounter between one and many, is sufficient proof of this, Hopest thou to vanquish in battle Arjuna who when excited with rage is invincible, irresistible, ever-victorious, and undeteriorating Arjuna, that hero, who gratified the God of gods, Siva himself in fight?
Mbh.5.135.6063	Indeed, if thou hast recourse to virtue and profit, if with God above thou reliest upon human exertion, if thy conduct becometh like that of the good, then it is by this and not by any other means that thou wilt become dear to me.

Mbh.6.34.1584	O Creator of all things; O Lord of all things, O God of gods, O Lord of the Universe, it behoveth thee to declare without any reservation, those divine perfections of thine by which perfections pervading these worlds thou abidest.
Mbh.6.35.1645	The son of Pandu then beheld there in the body of that God of gods the entire universe divided and sub-divided into many parts, all collected together
Mbh.6.35.1646	Then Dhananjaya, filled with amazement, and with hair standing on end, bowing with his head, with joined hands addressed the God.
Mbh.6.35.1647	Arjuna said, I behold all the gods, O God, as also all the varied hosts of creatures, and Brahman seated on his lotus seat, and all the Rishis and the celestial snakes.

Mbh.6.35.1687	O God of the gods, O thou that art the refuge of the universe, thou art indestructible, thou art that which is, and that which is not and that which is beyond both.
Mbh.6.35.1688	Thou art the First God, the ancient male Being, thou art the Supreme refuge of this universe.
Mbh.6.35.1704	O God, to bear my faults as a father his son's, a friend his friend's, a lover his loved one's.
Mbh.6.35.1706	Show me that other ordinary form, O God.
Mbh.6.41.1870	Those kinds of food that increase life's period, energy, strength, health, well-being, and joy, which are savoury, oleaginous, nutritive, and agreeable, are liked by God.
Mbh.6.65.3583	Victory to Thee that art the Supreme God of the Universe.
Mbh.6.65.3606	O God, O Vishnu, filled with devotion in thee, and depending upon thee with vows and observances, we ever worship Thee as the highest Lord, the God of gods.
Mbh.6.66.3634	He, from whose Self, I, Brahman, the Lord of the whole Universe, have sprung that Vasudeva, that Supreme God of all the worlds, is worthy of your adoration.
Mbh.6.66.3650	Having learnt all this and heard of the illustrious Vasudeva as the Eternal Lord, the Supreme God of all the worlds, and the great Master, from whom hath sprung Brahman himself, the Father of the Universe, why should not that Vasudeva be adored and worshipped by men?
Mbh.6.66.3663	He is the Eternal God, pervading all beings, and ever blessed.
Mbh.6.67.3671	He is the God of all Gods.
Mbh.6.68.3708	The illustrious Bhrigu said of thee that thou art the God of the gods, that thine is the ancient form of Vishnu.
Mbh.6.68.3709	Dwaipayana said of thee that thou art Vasudeva of the Vasus, the establisher of Sakra, and the God of gods and all creatures.
Mbh.6.99.5275	He is the highest Lord of all, the God of gods, the Supreme Soul and eternal.
Mbh.6.107.5720	O God of the gods, I bow to thee.
Mbh.7.52.2512	Knowing this death to be ordained by the Supreme God, cast off, without delay; thy grief for thy dead son'
Mbh.7.78.3464	And the place was perfumed with fragrant odours, and Rishis that worshipped Brahma adored with excellent hymns of unfading glory, that God who was the protector of all creatures, and wielded the great bow called Pinaka.
Mbh.7.78.3466	And Krishna adored, with speech, mind, understanding, and acts, that God who is the first source of the universe, himself uncreate, the supreme lord of unfading glory: who is the highest cause of the mind, who is space and the wind, who is the cause of all the luminous bodies in the firmament, who is the creator of the rain, and the supreme, primordial substance of the earth, who is the object of adoration, with the gods, the Danavas, the Yakshas, and human beings; who is the supreme Brahma that is seen by Yogins and the refuge of those acquainted with Shastras, who is the creator of all mobile and immobile creatures, and their destroyer also; who is the Wrath that burns everything at the end of the Yuga; who is the supreme soul; who is the Sakra and Surya, and the origin of all attributes.
Mbh.7.81.3590	I bow to thee, O God of the lord of the gods, O thou that art eternal, O supreme Destroyer, O Vishnu, O Jishnu, O Hari, O Krishna, O Vaikuntha, O best of mate beings!
Mbh.7.146.7658	Thou art the Supreme God, thou art the God of gods, and thou art Eternal.
Mbh.7.146.7667	Thou art the Supreme God, thou art the God of the highest gods, thou art the lord of Winged creatures, and the lord of all human beings.
Mbh.7.190.10536	Brahma, and remembering the puissant, supreme, and indestructible God of gods, the radiant Drona or high ascetic merit, the preceptor of the Kurus and the Pandavas repaired to heaven that is so difficult of being attained even by the pious.
Mbh.7.198.11290	Beholding that supreme Abode of all kinds of splendour, that God with a garland of Akshas round his neck, Vasudeva, with gratified soul, became filled with delight which he sought to express by words, heart, understanding, and body.
Mbh.7.198.11308	Vyasa continued, The blue-throated God, of inconceivable soul, that wielder of Pinaka, that divine Lord ever praised by the Rishis, then gave boons unto Vasudeva who deserved them all.
Mbh.7.198.11309	The great God said, O Narayana, through my grace, amongst men, gods, and Gandharvas, thou shalt be of immeasurable might and soul.
Mbh.7.198.11315	Even that God now walketh the earth as Vasudeva, beguiling the universe by his illusion.
Mbh.7.198.11321	Regarding the universe to consist only of Mahadeva, thou hadst emaciated thyself by diverse vows from desire of gratifying that God.
Mbh.7.198.11325	Like them, in thy worship, thou hast, in every Yuga, adored the great God in his Phallic form.
Mbh.7.198.11333	The God having the bull for his mark cherisheth greater regard for Kesava'
Mbh.7.199.11375	O son of Kunti, bow down unto him that is peace, unto him, called Rudra of blue throat, exceedingly subtle, and of great effulgence, unto him called Kapardin, him that is terrible, him that of tawny eyes, him that is boon-giving; unto that great ordainer, of red locks and righteous conduct; unto him that always does auspicious acts; unto him that is an object of desire; him that is of tawny eyes; him that is called Sthanu; him that is called Purusha; unto him that is of tawny hair; him that is bold, him that is exceedingly subtle and of great effulgence; unto him that is the giver of light; him that is the embodiment of all sacred waters; him that is the God of gods; and him that is endued with great impetuosity; unto him that is of manifest form; him that is called Sarva; him that is of agreeable attire; unto him that has an excellent head-gear, him that is of handsome face; him that has the mountains for his habitation; him that is peace; him that is the protector; him that has barks of trees for his attire; him whose arms are decked with ornaments of gold, him who is fierce, him that is the lord of all the points of the compass; him that is the lord of the clouds and of all created beings; him that is the lord of all trees and of all kine; him that has his body shrouded with trees; him who is the celestial generalissimo; him who inspires all thought; him who has the sacrificial ladle in his hand; him who is blazing; him who wields the bow; him who is Rama's self, him who has diverse forms; him who is the lord of the universe; him who had the munja grass for his attire; him who has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand arms, and a thousand legs.
Mbh.7.199.11376	O son of Kunti, seek the protection of that boon-giving Lord of the universe, the lord of Uma, that God of three eyes, that destroyer of Daksha's sacrifice; that guardian of all created things, that being who is always cheerful, that protector of all beings, that God of unfading glory; that one with matted locks; that mover of all superior beings, that one whose navel is like that of a bull and who hath the bull for his symbol; that one who is proud like the bull, who is the lord of bulls; who is represented by the horns of the bull; and who is the bull of bulls; that one who hath the image of the bull on his banner; who is liberal to all righteous persons; who can be approached by Yoga only; and whose eyes are like those of a bull; who owneth very superior weapons: who hath Vishnu himself for his arrow; who is the embodiment of righteousness; and who is called Maheswara; who is of vast stomach and vast body; who hath a leopard's skin for his seat; who is the lord of the worlds; who is devoted to Brahma and who loveth Brahmanas; who is armed with trident; who is boon-giving; who wieldeth the sword and the shield, and who is highly auspicious, who wieldeth the bow called Pinaka, who is divested of the battle axe and who is the protector and lord of the universe.
Mbh.7.199.11377	I place myself in the hands of that divine Lord, that grantor of protection, that God attired in deer-skins.
Mbh.7.199.11379	Salutations ever to him of excellent vows; to him who hath excellent bowmen for his companions; to him who himself wieldeth the bow; to that God with whom the bow is a favourite weapon; who is himself the shaft impelled by the bow; who is the bowstring and the bow; and the preceptor teaching the use of the bow.
Mbh.7.199.11380	Salutations to the God whose weapons are fierce; and who is the foremost of all the gods.
Mbh.7.199.11409	His wrath being dispelled, the great God then restored the sacrifice.
Mbh.7.199.11425	And that God of gods, the wielder of Pinaka, made the moon and the sun the two wheels of that vehicle.
Mbh.7.199.11479	Whatever is highly mysterious in the several branches of the Vedas, in the Upanishads, in the Puranas, and in those sciences that deal with the soul, is that God, viz, Maheswara, Mahadeva is even such.
Mbh.7.199.11480	That God is, again, without birth.
Mbh.7.199.11481	All the attributes of that God are not capable of being enumerated by me even if, O son of Pandu, I were to recite them continually for a thousand years.
Mbh.7.199.11489	The mouth which that God has is in the ocean.
Mbh.7.199.11493	Many are the blazing and terrible forms of this God that men speak of and worship in the world.
Mbh.7.199.11496	In the Vedas the excellent hymn called Sata Rudriya, hath been sung in honour of that great God called the infinite Rudra.
Mbh.7.199.11497	That God is the lord of all wishes that are human and heavenly.
Mbh.7.199.11499	Indeed, that God pervadeth the vast universe.
Mbh.7.199.11507	And since with respect to the past, the future, and the present, that God has many forms, he is, on that account, called Vahurupa many-formed.
Mbh.7.199.11521	The illustrious God of gods, therefore, is called Vrishakapi.
Mbh.7.199.11523	Whatever of unsoundness there is in the bodies of living creatures, and whatever of soundness there is in them, represent that God.
Mbh.7.199.11525	He who adoreth any image of the Phallic emblem of that high-souled God, always obtaineth great prosperity by that act.
Mbh.7.199.11535	After thou hadst vowed to slay the ruler of the Sindhus, O sinless one, Krishna showed thee this God, in thy dream, sitting on the top of that foremost of mountains.
Mbh.7.199.11536	This illustrious God proceedeth in advance of thee in battle.
Mbh.7.199.11538	The hymn approved of the Vedas, and called Sata-Rudriya, in honour of that God of gods, that excellent, famous, life-enhancing, and sacred hymn, has now, O Partha, been explained to thee.
Mbh.7.199.11541	The person who always attentively reads or listens to the recitation of this excellent and auspicious account, appertaining to battle, of the illustrious Deity, and he worships with devotion that illustrious Lord of the universe, obtaineth all the objects of desire, in consequence of the three-eyed God being gratified with him.
Mbh.8.34.1822	I have been sent by the God of gods to vanquish you'
Mbh.8.34.1828	With satisfaction in his heart, the trident-wielding God of gods said, The pain thou hast suffered in consequence of the fall of weapons upon thy body evidences the super-human feat that thou hast achieved, O delighter of the Bhrigus.
Mbh.8.42.2305	For the sake of Duryodhana, for the sake of doing what is agreeable to thee, for the sake of victory, for the sake of myself, and for the sake of God himself, I will with vigorous exertion, fight with Partha and Vasudeva.
Mbh.8.79.4853	There that mighty-armed one, endued with might that knows no decay, also obtained his terrible car unto which are yoked those white steeds, as also his two great celestial and inexhaustible quivers, and many celestial weapons, from the God of Fire.
Mbh.9.33.2479	Proceeding to the western Ocean at the spot where the Sarasvati mingles with the Ocean, that vast receptacle of waters, let him adore that God of gods Mahadeva there!
Mbh.12.29.1463	Beholding that child of celestial beauty lying on the lap of his sire, the God asked one another, From whom shall this child obtain suck'
Mbh.12.35.1899	Those ordinances, however, have been laid down only for believers in God and those that have faith.
Mbh.12.46.2240	When thou hast, O God, withdrawn thyself from the world, having, O bull among men, adopted the fourth, state, my mind has been filled with wonder
Mbh.12.46.2248	O illustrious God, thou art as still as the flame of a lamp burning in a place where there is no wind.
Mbh.12.47.2322	O God, thou art adored by the faithful under four excellent, high, and secret names
Mbh.12.47.2520	Salutations to thee, O God, that art the Brahmana's self, to thee that art the benefactor of Brahmanas and kine, to thee that art the benefactor of the universe, to thee that art Krishna and Govinda!
Mbh.12.120.6791	These, O Yudhishthira, are some of the names which Chastisement bears, viz, Sword, Sabre, Righteousness, Fury, the Irresistible, the Parent of prosperity, Victory, Punisher, Checker, the Eternal, the Scriptures, Brahmana, Mantra, Avenger, the Foremost of first Legislators, Judge, the Undecaying, God, the individual whose course is irresistible, the Ever-agoing, the First.
Mbh.12.120.6816	Chastisement has again these other eight names, viz, God, Man, Life, Power, Heart, the Lord of all creatures, the Soul of all things, and the Living creature.
Mbh.12.120.6817	God gave both affluence and the rod of chastisement to the king who is possessed of strength in the form of military forces and who is a combination of five ingredients
Mbh.12.120.6826	God himself has, with great care, sent Chastisement for the use of the Kshatriya.
Mbh.12.187.11271	That other Creation, however, which is eternal and undecaying, which is based upon Brahma and has sprung from the Primeval God, and which has its refuge upon yoga, is a mental one
Mbh.12.206.12537	That observer of all the worlds, viz, the celestial Rishi Narada, has said that Krishna is the Supreme God
Mbh.12.208.12614	Endued with boons, and possessed of might, and swelling with pride, those senseless wretches do not know that Vishnu of invisible form, that God incapable of being vanquished by the very deities all acting together, hath assumed the form of a boar.
Mbh.12.208.12624	Then that Supreme God of all the gods, having yoga for his soul and yoga for his companion, became rapt in yoga, O chief of the Bharatas, and began to utter tremendous roars, agitating those Daityas and Danavas.
Mbh.12.208.12642	The Grandsire said, That is the Supreme God, the Creator of all beings, the soul of all creatures, the foremost of all yogins.
Mbh.12.208.12647	That Supreme God, of immeasurable splendour, that great refuge of all blessings, having achieved a most difficult feat that is incapable of being accomplished by others, has returned to his own unmixed nature
Mbh.12.209.12678	A Brahmana should hear of the greatness of that God of gods, viz, Him called Vishnu of immeasurable energy, from the lips of Brahmanas.
Mbh.12.255.15503	When Sthanu came to Brahman from motives of benevolence, the great God burning with energy, addressed him, saying, Thou deservest boons at my hands.
Mbh.12.257.15599	The great God, without relenting, again, said unto her, O Death, do thou kill men.
Mbh.12.267.16305	Men devoted to penances and endued with intelligence, and who have the Srutis and knowledge for their eyes, regard the injunctions of the Vedas, which have been declared through and compiled by the Rishis, to be the words of God himself

Mbh.12.300.18782	Men of wisdom devoted to Yoga assign proper and very good reasons, O crusher of foes, for showing that one that does not believe in the existence of God cannot attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.323.20593	The prayer he addressed to the great God was, O puissant one, let me have a son that will have he puissance of Fire and Earth and Water and Wind and Space.
Mbh.12.323.20594	Engaged in the austerest of penances, the Island-born Rishi begged of that at God who is incapable of being approached by persons of uncleansed souls, not by words but by his Yoga-resolution.
Mbh.12.323.20605	Gratified with such penances and such devotion, O Bharata, of the Rishi, the great God resolved to grant him his wish.
Mbh.12.324.20610	The son of Satyavati having obtained this high boon from the great God, was one day employed in rubbing his sticks for making a fire.
Mbh.12.334.21395	All of them obeyed the eternal law of the Supreme God Observing all the rites, in detail, that were ordained in honour of the deities and the Pitris, all those foremost of regenerate persons acquired all those objects which they sought.
Mbh.12.335.21465	Following the Sattwata ritual that had been declared in days of yore by Surya himself, king Uparichara used to worship the God of gods Narayana, and when his worship was over, he used to adore with what remained the grandsire of the universe
Mbh.12.335.21470	With his whole soul, the king was devoted to that God of gods, viz, Janarddana, who is without beginning and middle and end, who is the Creator of the universe, and who is without deterioration of any kind.
Mbh.12.336.21530	The ancient God of gods viz, Hari, became highly gratified with the king on account of that sacrifice.
Mbh.12.336.21531	Incapable of being seen by any one else, the great God showed himself to his worshipper.
Mbh.12.336.21533	The great God took up the offerings without being seen by any one.
Mbh.12.336.21563	Indeed, the denizens of White Island believe and worship only one God.
Mbh.12.336.21569	At this, the idea, due to the grace of the great God Himself, arose in our minds that one that had not undergone sufficient penances could not speedily behold Narayana.
Mbh.12.336.21585	It seemed that those men were employed in offering a sacrifice to the great God.
Mbh.12.336.21603	Only those foremost of regenerate persons whom these white men honoured with their glances, become competent to behold the great God
Mbh.12.337.21661	Arrived, at his presence, they addressed him, saying, Thou art devoted to the great God of the Brahmanas viz, Narayana.
Mbh.12.337.21672	In consequence also of this our boon that we grant thee, the God of gods, viz, Narayana will be gratified with thee, and He will bear thee hence to the region of Brahman,
Mbh.12.337.21686	It was in this way, O son of Kunti, that great king first fell down through the curse of the Brahmanas for a fault of speech, and once more ascended to heaven at the command of the great God Vishnu.
Mbh.12.338.21694	Narada said, Salutations to thee, O God of gods, O thou that art freed from all acts!
Mbh.12.339.21799	The Lord of all the deities, the great God who is adorned in sacrifices, held in his hands a sacrificial altar, a Kamandalu, few white gems, a pair of sandal, a bundle of Kusa blades, a deer-skin, a toothstick, and a little blazing fire
Mbh.12.339.21800	With cheerful soul, that foremost of regenerate persons, viz, Narada of restraining speech, bowed unto the great God and adored Him.
Mbh.12.339.21812	I regard that I have won without any delay the fruits of my penances, O God, of my self-restraint, and of all the vows and observances that I have gone through.
Mbh.12.339.21818	Bhishma continued, Having thus shown Himself unto Narada, the son of Parameshthi, the great God addressed that ascetic and said, Go hence, O Narada, and do not delay!
Mbh.12.339.21829	Behold, O Narada, the greatness and puissance of God.
Mbh.12.339.21993	Let the illustrious and Eternal God of the Brahmans, viz, Janarddana of high intelligence, be gratified with thee, O Yudhishthira of mighty arms
Mbh.12.339.21997	Sojourning through the welkin to the Ocean of Milk which is always the abode of nectar, and worshipping the great God there, he came back to his own hermitage.
Mbh.12.340.22020	They who, being divested of both merit and demerit, become emancipate, succeed, we hear, in entering the great God of a thousand rays.
Mbh.12.340.22098	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of that God of gods, all those deities and great Rishis and Brahman became filled with such delight that the hair on their bodies stood on its end.
Mbh.12.340.22101	The deities and the celestial Rishis also, after the manner of Brahman, dedicated similar portions each unto the great God.
Mbh.12.340.22103	The deities and the Rishis and Brahman, in that sacrifice, adored the great God as one endued with the complexion of the Sun, as the foremost of Beings, situate beyond the reach of Tamas, vast, pervading all things, the Supreme Lord of all, the giver of boons, and possessed of puissance.
Mbh.12.340.22104	Thus adored by them, the boon-giving and great God, invisible and bodiless, addressed those assembled celestials from heaven and said unto them, The offerings dedicated by you in this sacrifice have all reached me.
Mbh.12.340.22162	When the great God said these words, the deities and the celestial Rishis addressed him and said, If only a fourth part of Righteousness is to exist in that age in every place, tell us O holy one, whither shall we then go and what shall we do!
Mbh.12.340.22165	Vyasa continued, Thus commanded by the great God, the deities with all the Rishis bowed their heads unto him and then proceeded to the places they desired.
Mbh.12.341.22221	O Creator of all Beings, O immutable one, O Refuge of all the worlds, O Lord of the universe, O dispeller of the fears of all persons, I desire to hear from thee in detail, O Kesava, the significance of all those names of thine, O God, which have been mentioned by the great Rishis in the Vedas and the Puranas in consequences of diverse acts of thine.
Mbh.12.342.22706	Thus addressed by Brahma, Rudra forthwith cast off the fire of his wrath, and set himself to gratify the illustrious and puissant God Narayana
Mbh.12.342.22707	Indeed, he soon placed himself at the disposal of the adorable boon-giving and puissant God Narayana.
Mbh.12.342.22708	That boon-giving God Narayana, who hath his wrath and the senses under control, soon became gratified and reconciled with Rudra.
Mbh.12.342.22709	Well-adored by the Rishis, by Brahma, and by all the deities, that great God, the Lord of the universe, otherwise called by the name of Hari, then addressed the illustrious Isana and said these words, He that knows thee, knows me.
Mbh.12.342.22718	I have also told thee the many secret names by which Narayana is called and what the significations are, O Bharata, of one of those names, which, as I have told thee, the Rishis, have bestowed upon the great God.
Mbh.12.343.22732	That Narada was able to obtain a sight of the God Narayana, otherwise called Hari, was due, O son of Suta, to the special grace of that divine and puissant Lord.
Mbh.12.343.22798	Verily, I behold both of you by the side of that great God.
Mbh.12.344.22868	Of good or evil that will occur or has occurred or is occurring, that God of gods, O great ascetic, has informed thee
Mbh.12.345.22913	Having said these words, that God of gods, Vrishakapi by name, offered those Pindas, O learned Brahmana, on the breast of the Varaha mountains, with elaborate rites.
Mbh.12.348.23223	From the Rishi Suparna, this eternal religion was obtained, O foremost of men, by the God of wind, that sustainer of the lives of all creatures in the universe.
Mbh.12.348.23224	The God of wind communicated it unto such Rishis as subsist upon what remains of sacrificial offerings after feeding guests and others.
Mbh.13.1.21	Bhishma replied, Why, O fortunate one, dost thou consider thy soul, which is dependent on God and Destiny and Time to be the cause of thy actions?
Mbh.13.14.1190	I solicit boons from Him, O Maghavat, who is the soul of Maghavat himself, who is said to be the God of the gods, and who is the Master of all creatures.
Mbh.13.14.1196	Brahma, however, acquired his high puissance and prosperity by adoring and gratifying Mahadeva, that God of gods.
Mbh.13.14.1199	Who else than that God of gods is competent to unite the sons of Diti with lordship and puissance, judging by the sovereignty and the power of oppressing conferred upon the foremost of the Daityas and Danavas
Mbh.13.14.1205	O best of the Kusikas, all this is due to the grace of that God of gods viz, Mahadeva.
Mbh.13.14.1351	In their midst shone the illustrious God like the sun in the midst of his corona, emerged from autumnal clouds.
Mbh.13.14.1417	Thus addressed by the great God armed with the Sula, the deities, O Krishna, having bowed down unto him and joined their hands in reverence, said these words, O illustrious one, O God of the gods, O master of the universe, O Lord of all, let this best of regenerate persons obtain from thee the fruition of all his desires,
Mbh.13.14.1457	It was even thus, O Krishna, that I beheld, with the aid of austere penances, that God of gods.
Mbh.13.14.1464	I then addressed the great ascetic Upamanyu and said unto him, Deserving of great praise art thou, O foremost of learned Brahmanas, for what righteous man is there other than thou whose retreat enjoys the distinction of being honoured with the presence of that God of gods?
Mbh.13.14.1524	I then addressed in these words the great God whose praises are hymned by all the deities with the Grandsire Brahma at their head'
Mbh.13.15.1575	Bowing down unto the great God, Upamanyu said these words to me'
Mbh.13.16.1581	With great devotion of heart he adored, with the aid of Yoga-meditation, the great God for ten thousand years.
Mbh.13.16.1586	The Rishi Tandin, desirous of beholding Him who making himself endued with life-breaths, resides in what results from it viz, Jiva, in the form of that effulgence which is called the Mind, passed many years in the practice of the severest austerities, and having succeeded in beholding Him as the reward of those penances, he praised the great God in the following terms'
Mbh.13.17.1841	Thou art Kama, the God of Desire.
Mbh.13.18.2828	The great God said unto me, Be it so, and disappeared there and then'
Mbh.13.18.2830	Garga said, O son of Pandu, gratified with me in consequence of mental sacrifice which I had performed, the great God bestowed upon me, on the banks of the sacred stream Saraswati, that wonderful science, viz, the knowledge of Time with its four and sixty branches.
Mbh.13.18.2844	Even such is the good, O Yudhishthira, that I have obtained from that indestructible and immutable God, endued with the highest penances and supreme energy'
Mbh.13.44.4659	According to the dictates of the scriptures, the husband should regard his wife as an acquisition due to his own acts of a previous life or to what has been ordained by God.
Mbh.13.148.12418	He is the one Ancient God.
Mbh.13.158.13131	It is He who is the Ancient God.
Mbh.14.3.58	It is God.
Mbh.18.4.201	He was sitting by the side of the God of Wind in his embodied form.
