Hari - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.1.18	Sauti then said, Having bowed down to the primordial being Isana, to whom multitudes make offerings, and who is adored by the multitude; who is the true incorruptible one, Brahma, perceptible, imperceptible, eternal; who is both a non-existing and an existing-non-existing being; who is the universe and also distinct from the existing and non-existing universe; who is the creator of high and low; the ancient, exalted, inexhaustible one; who is Vishnu, beneficent and the beneficence itself, worthy of all preference, pure and immaculate; who is Hari, the ruler of the faculties, the guide of all things moveable and immoveable; I will declare the sacred thoughts of the illustrious sage Vyasa, of marvellous deeds and worshipped here by all.
Mbh.1.34.1936	The slayer of the Danavas having said unto him, Be it so' then went to Hari, the god of gods, of great soul, and the lord of Yogins.
Mbh.1.64.3249	And Hari replied, Let it be
Mbh.1.66.3408	And their names were Mrigi, Mrigamanda, Hari, Bhadramana, Matangi, Sarduli, Sweta, Surabhi, and the agreeable Surasa blessed with every virtue.
Mbh.1.66.3412	And the offspring of Hari are all animals of the simian species endued with great activity, so also all the horses.
Mbh.1.66.3413	And those animals also, that are called Go-langula the cow-tailed, are said to be the offspring of Hari.
Mbh.1.198.9871	And Hari Narayana took up two hairs from his body, one of which hairs was black and the other white.
Mbh.1.200.9952	Vaisampayana continued, After the sons of Pandu had been married, Hari Krishna sent unto them as presents various gold ornaments set with pearls and black gems lapis lazuli.
Mbh.1.229.11221	Hari slew with his discus those Rakshasas and Danavas and Nagas that rushed at him in bands.
Mbh.2.32.1372	While they were thus talking, Hari Krishna, that omniscient and ancient one, that soul of the Vedas, that invincible one as described by those that have knowledge, that foremost of all lasting existences in the universe, that origin of all things, as also that in which all things come to be dissolved, that lord of the past, the future, and the present Kesava, the slayer of Kesi, and the bulwark of all Vrishnis and the dispeller of all fear in times of distress and the smiter of all foes, having appointed Vasudeva to the command of the Yadava army, and bringing with him for the king Yudhishthira just a large mass of treasure; entered that excellent city of cities.
Mbh.2.35.1473	And knowing, O son of the Kuru race, that that was a concourse of incarnate gods, Narada thought in his mind of Hari with eyes like lotus-petals.
Mbh.2.35.1476	Narada knew that Hari the grinder of foes, whose strength of arm was ever praised by all the celestials with Indra among them, was then living in the world in human form.
Mbh.2.35.1478	Such was the vision of Narada the omniscient who knew Hari or Narayana to be that Supreme Lord whom everybody worshipped with sacrifice.
Mbh.2.37.1556	Passing over many persons that are foremost for their virtues, we have regarded Hari as deserving of the first worship.
Mbh.2.44.1832	The virtuous Hari of worldwide fame, thus addressed by Yudhishthira, cheerfully went with his cousin to Pritha and said, O aunt, thy sons have now obtained the imperial dignity.
Mbh.2.44.1841	Then Hari with eyes like lotus leaves, stopping that best of cars for a moment, addressing Yudhishthira the son of Kunti, said, O king of kings, cherishest thou thy subjects with ceaseless vigilance and patience.
Mbh.2.66.2851	Vaisampayana continued, When the attire of Draupadi was being thus dragged, the thought of Hari, And she herself cried aloud, saying, O Govinda, O thou who dwellest in Dwaraka, O Krishna, O thou who art fond of cow-herdesses of Vrindavana.
Mbh.2.66.2855	Thus did that afflicted lady resplendent still in her beauty, O king covering her face cried aloud, thinking of Krishna, of Hari, of the lord of the three worlds.
Mbh.2.66.2858	And while Yajnaseni was crying aloud to Krishna, also called Vishnu and Hari and Nara for protection, the illustrious Dharma, remaining unseen, covered her with excellent clothes of many hues.
Mbh.3.12.614	O slayer of all foes, having floated on the primordial waters, thou subsequently becamest Hari and Brahma and Surya and Dharma, and Dhatri and Yama and Anala and Vasu, and Vaisravana, and Rudra, and Kala and the firmament the earth, and the ten directions!
Mbh.3.12.635	When the dreadful Danavas Madhu and Kaitava were bent on slaying Brahma, beholding their impious endeavour thou wert angry, and from thy forehead, O Hari, sprang Sambhu, the holder of the trident.
Mbh.3.12.643	O thou irrepressible one, thou art Nara and I am Narayana or Hari!
Mbh.3.18.919	Reposing the charge on me, Hari the slayer of Madhu, hath gone to the sacrifice of the Bharata lion Yudhishthira!
Mbh.3.39.2124	O Hari, O Rudra, I bow to thee.
Mbh.3.47.2455	The blessed Vishnu, the slayer of Madhu, he, indeed who is known on earth as Kapila, and whose glance alone, O exalted one, destroyed the illustrious sons of Sagara, when they approached him with loud sounds in the bowels of the earth, that illustrious and invincible Hari is capable, O Brahmana of doing us a great service.
Mbh.3.47.2457	Verily as the illustrious Hari had slain the Nagas in the great lake, he, by sight alone, is capable of slaying those Asuras called the Nivatakavachas, along with their followers.
Mbh.3.49.2523	He who hath for his counsellor and protector and friend that smiter of sinful men, the lord of the three worlds, Hari himself, encountereth nothing that he cannot conquer.
Mbh.3.51.2558	Hari himself, thus requested, answered them, saying, so be it'
Mbh.3.83.4121	O virtuous king, one should next repair to the excellent region of Vishnu, where Hari is always present.
Mbh.3.83.4122	Bathing there and bowing down unto Hari, the Creator of the three worlds, one obtaineth the fruit of the horse-sacrifice and repaireth to the abode of Vishnu.
Mbh.3.84.4554	Repairing then to Vamana that destroys every sin, and beholding the god Hari, one acquireth exemption from every misfortune.
Mbh.3.85.4654	It was there that the Rishis and the gods Varuna, Agni, Prajapati, Narayana also called Hari, Mahadeva and the illustrious Grandsire of great splendour, appointed the resplendent Bhrigu to officiate at a sacrifice.
Mbh.3.85.4680	Then, O king, should one proceed to Prayaga, whose praises have been sung by Rishis and where dwell the gods with Brahma at their head, the Directions with their presiding deities, the Lokapalas, the Siddhas, the Pitris adored by the worlds, the great Rishis-Sanatkumara and others, stainless Brahmarshis, Angiras and others, the Nagas, the Suparnas, the Siddhas, the Snakes, the Rivers, the Seas, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, and the Lord Hari with Prajapati.
Mbh.3.88.4842	That slayer of Madhu, Hari of inconceivable soul, dwelleth there
Mbh.3.162.8234	There by reverence, and severe austerities, Yatis inspired by virtue of pious practices, attain Narayana Hari.
Mbh.3.182.9003	And a certain Brahmana said, He the beloved friend of Arjuna, of powerful arms and possessed of self control, descendant of Sura, of a lofty intellect, will come, for, O ye foremost of the descendants of Kuru, Hari knows that ye have arrived here.
Mbh.3.182.9004	For, Hari has always a longing for your sight and always seeks your welfare.
Mbh.3.188.9502	This is that ancient and supreme Lord Hari of inconceivable soul who hath taken his birth as Krishna of the Vrishni race, and who endued with mighty arms, seemeth to sport in this world!
Mbh.3.200.10332	And Utanka said, This indeed hath, been a great boon to me, in that I have been able to behold Hari, that eternal Being, that divine Creator, that Lord of the universe
Mbh.3.200.10335	Thus requested by Hari to accept a boon Utanka then, O thou best of Bharatas, with joined hands begged a boon saying, O illustrious one, O thou of eyes like lotus leaves, if thou hast been gratified with me, then let my heart always rest on virtue, truth, and self-content.
Mbh.3.202.10397	He who is the Source and Creator of the Universe, viz, the Eternal and unfading Vishnu, He who is called by Munis crowned with ascetic success as the Supreme Lord of the Universe, that Being of great holiness, then lay in Yoga sleep on the wide hood of the Snake Sesha of immeasurable energy, and the Creator of the Universe, that highly-blessed and holy Hari, knowing no deterioration, lay on the hood of that Snake encircling the whole Earth and as the Deity lay asleep on that bed, a lotus, endued with great beauty and effulgence equal unto that of the Sun, sprang from his navel.
Mbh.3.202.10398	And from that lotus possessed of effulgence like unto the Sun's, sprang the Grandsire Brahma, that lord of the worlds who is the four Vedas, who hath four forms and four faces, who is invincible in consequence of his own energy and who is endued with mighty strength and great prowess and as the Lord Hari of wondrous frame, possessed of great lustre and decked with a crown and the Kaustubha gem and attired in purple silk, lay stretched for many a yojana on that excellent bed furnished by the hood of the snake itself extending far and wide, blazing, O king, in his beauty and the lustre of his own body like a thousand Suns concentrated in one mass.
Mbh.3.202.10399	He was beheld some time after by two Danavas of great prowess named Madhu and Kaitabha and beholding Hari in that posture and the Grandsire with eyes like lotus-leaves seated on that lotus, both Madhu and Kaitabha wandered much and they began to terrify and alarm Brahma of immeasurable prowess, and the illustrious Brahma alarmed by their continued exertions trembled on his seat, and at his trembling the stalk of the lotus on which he was seated began to tremble and when the lotus-stalk trembled, Kesava awoke.
Mbh.3.261.12821	And swallowing it he said unto her, May it please the god Hari, the soul of the Universe, and may that god who partaketh at sacrifices, be satiated with this'
Mbh.3.261.12833	Ye Brahmanas, I am afraid of men that are devoted to Hari.
Mbh.3.270.13203	Hari assumed a wonderful and extraordinary form.
Mbh.3.283.13883	And among these were Parvana, Patana, Jambha, Khara, Krodha-vasa, Hari, Praruja, Aruja and Praghasa, and others.
Mbh.3.313.15571	And O thou versed in duty, thou hast heard how Hari with the view of overcoming his foes, entered into Sakra's thunder-bolt, and lay concealed there.
Mbh.5.66.3439	Then bidding adieu unto Dhananjaya and Hari of four arms and bowing unto them both, I have with great speed come hither to convey those words of grave import to thee, O thou that art endued with effulgence equal that of the very gods'
Mbh.5.68.3469	That great ascetic Hari, though the Lord of the whole Universe, still betaketh himself to work, like a humble labourer that tilleth the fields.
Mbh.5.101.4738	These then are their names, Suvarnachuda, Nagasin Daruna, Chandatundaka, Anala, Vaisalaksha, Kundalin, Pankajit, Vajraviskambha, Vainateya, Vamana, Vatavega, Disachakshu, Nimisha, Animisha, Trirava, Saptarava, Valmiki, Dipaka, Daityadwipa, Saridwipa, Sarasa, Padmaketana, Sumukha, Chitraketu, Chitravara, Anagha, Meshahrit, Kumuda, Daksha, Sarpanta, Somabhojana, Gurubhara, Kapota, Suryanetra, Chirantaka, Vishnudharman, Kumara, Parivarha, Hari, Suswara, Madhuparka, Hemavarna, Malaya, Matariswan, Nisakara and Divakara.
Mbh.6.8.473	And so on the north of the milky ocean, the Lord Hari of unlimited puissance dwelleth on his car made of gold.
Mbh.6.12.618	There, O monarch, is the mountain called Gomanta that is huge and consists of all kinds of metals, and whereon always resideth, mingling with those that have been emancipated, the puissant Narayana, otherwise called Hari, graced with prosperity and possessed of eyes like lotus leaves.
Mbh.6.21.992	Even he, indestructible and of weapons incapable of being baffled, appearing as Hari in olden days, said in a loud voice unto the Gods and the Asuras, Who amongst you would be victorious,
Mbh.6.35.1643	Sanjaya continued, Having said this, O monarch, Hari, the mighty Lord of mystic power, then revealed to the son of Pritha his Supreme sovereign form, with many mouths and eyes, many wonderous aspects, many celestial ornaments, many celestial weapons uplifted, wearing celestial garlands and robes, and with unguents of celestial fragrance, full of every wonder, resplendent, infinite, with faces turned on all sides
Mbh.6.42.1992	Recollecting again and again that wonderful form also of Hari, great is my amazement, O king, and I rejoice ever more.
Mbh.6.43.2076	Drona said, Victory, O king, is certain for thee that hast Hari for thy counsellor.
Mbh.6.68.3718	Even thus is that illustrious and Supreme Being, viz, Hari, adored and worshipped by Sanatkumar and other ascetics endued with Yoga.
Mbh.7.50.2346	He had a son who was called Hari.
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.7.143.7358	Then Krishna otherwise called Hari, possessed of ascetic powers, that lord of all ascetics, having taken recourse to Yoga, created that darkness.
Mbh.8.33.1573	Tarakaksha had a heroic and mighty son named Hari.
Mbh.8.33.1575	When the god was gratified, Hari solicited a boon of him, saying, Let a lake start into existence in our city, such that persons, slain by means of weapons, may, when thrown into it, come out with life, and with redoubled strength'
Mbh.8.33.1576	Obtaining this boon, the heroic Hari, son of Tarakaksha, created a lake, O lord, in his city, that was capable of reviving the dead.
Mbh.8.56.3190	Filled with rage, the son of Radha then slew Jishnu, and Jishnukarman, and Devapi, O king, in that battle, and Citra, and Citrayudha, and Hari, and Singhaketu and Rochamana and the great car-warrior Salabha, and many car-warriors among the Cedis bathed the form of Adhiratha's son in blood, while he himself was engaged in taking the lives of those heroes.
Mbh.8.58.3328	At these words of Vibhatsu, Hari Krishna quickly proceeded on that car to that spot where king Yudhishthira, along with the mighty Srinjaya car-warriors of great strength, were fighting with the foe, making death their goal.
Mbh.8.73.4406	Slaying this host like Vishnu in days of yore slaying the Daityas and the Danavas, bestow the Earth on the king like Hari bestowing the three worlds on Sakra.
Mbh.8.79.4802	Indeed, the mighty-armed Hari, at the command of Pandu's son, proceeded on his car, assuring by that very act all the Pandava troops.
Mbh.9.43.3134	They were Sankukarna, Nilkumbha, Padmai, Kumud, Ananta, Dwadasabhuja, Krishna, Upakrishnaka, Ghranasravas, Kapiskandha, Kanchanaksha, Jalandhama, Akshasantarjana, Kunadika, Tamobhrakrit, Ekaksha, Dwadasaksha, Ekajata, Sahasravahu, Vikata, Vyaghraksha, Kshitikampana, Punyanaman, Sunaman, Suvaktra, Priyadarsana, Parisruta, Kokonada, Priyamalyanulepana, Ajodara, Gajasiras, Skandhaksha, Satalochana, Jwalajibha, Karala, Sitakesa, Jati, Hari, Krishnakesa, Jatadhara, Chaturdanshtra, Ashtajihva, Meghananda, Prithusravas, Vidyutaksha, Dhanurvaktra, Jathara, Marutasana, Udaraksha, Rathaksha, Vajranabha, Vasurprabha, Samudravega, Sailakampin, Vrisha, Meshapravaha, Nanda, Upadanka, Dhumra, Sweta, Kalinga, Siddhartha, Varada, Priyaka, Nanda, Gonanda, Ananda, Pramoda, Swastika, Dhruvaka, Kshemavaha, Subala, Siddhapatra, Govraja, Kanakapida, Gayana, Hasana, Vana, Khadga, Vaitali, Atitali, Kathaka, Vatika, Hansaja, Pakshadigdhanga, Samudronmadana, Ranotkata, Prashasa, Swetasiddha, Nandaka, Kalakantha, Prabhasa, Kumbhandaka, Kalakaksha, Sita, Bhutalonmathana, Yajnavaha, Pravaha, Devajali, Somapa, Majjala, Kratha Tuhara Chitradeva, Madhura, Suprasada, Kiritin, Vatsala, Madhuvarna, Kalasodara, Dharmada, Manma, Thakara, Suchivaktra, Swetavaktra, Suvaktra, Charuvaktra, Pandura, Dandavahu, Suvahu, Rajas, Kokilaka, Achala, Kanakaksha, Valakarakshaka, Sancharaka, Kokanada, Gridhrapatra, Jamvuka, Lohajvaktra, Javana, Kumbhavaktra, Kumbhaka, Mundagriva, Krishnaujas, Hansavaktra, Candrabha, Panikurchas, Samvuka, Panchavaktra, Sikshaka, Chasavaktra, Jamvuka, Kharvaktra, and Kunchaka.
Mbh.12.43.2162	Thou art Vishnu, thou art Jishnu, thou art Hari, thou art Krishna, thou art Vaikuntha, and thou art the foremost of all beings.
Mbh.12.47.2307	The divine Creator, called Narayana or Hari, alone knows thee.
Mbh.12.47.2314	Thou art called Hari, of a thousand heads, a thousand feet, a thousand eyes, a thousand arms, a thousand crowns, and a thousand faces of great splendour.
Mbh.12.47.2356	Thou art called Hari and Narayana, O puissant one.
Mbh.12.47.2521	The two syllables Hari constitute the pecuniary stock of those that sojourn through the wilderness of life and the medicine that effectually cures all worldly, predilections, besides being the means that alleviate sorrow and grief
Mbh.12.47.2533	Learning by his Yoga prowess of the devotion of Bhishma, Madhava, otherwise called Hari, entering his body bestowed upon him heavenly knowledge compassing the Past, the Present, and the Future, and went away.
Mbh.12.109.6213	They that with devotion seek the refuge of this Narayana, called also Hari, succeed in overcoming all difficulties.
Mbh.12.215.12999	As regards the question started, it is said that that master of yoga, named Hari, comprehends truly how it happens.
Mbh.12.215.13000	The great Rishis say that the explanation offered by Hari is correct and consistent with reason.
Mbh.12.255.15485	His son named Hari, who resembled Narayana himself in strength, was in that battle slain by his foes along with all his followers and troops.
Mbh.12.278.17055	Desirous in days of yore of fighting the great Indra, the high-souled ruler of the heavens, I beheld in that battle the illustrious Hari, the puissant Narayana
Mbh.12.278.17057	Without doubt, there is still a remnant to be enjoyed by me of the rewards attaching to that penance represented by a sight of the great Hari.
Mbh.12.279.17076	Into Hari all things merge at the universal destruction and from Him all things again come forth.
Mbh.12.325.20661	Crossing many hills and mountains, many rivers, many waters and lakes, and many woods and forests abounding with beasts of prey and other animals, crossing, the two Varshas of Meru and Hari successively and next the Varsha of Himavat, he came at last to the Varsha known by the name of Bharata.
Mbh.12.334.21343	I heard it from my sire that in the Krita age, O monarch, during the epoch of the Self-born Manu, the eternal Narayana, the Soul of the universe, took birth as the son of Dharma in a quadruple form, viz, as Nara, Narayana, Hari, and the Self-create Krishna
Mbh.12.334.21356	How wonderful it is that Dharma has thus been honoured by these four great deities viz, Nara, Narayana, and Hari and Krishna!
Mbh.12.334.21357	In this spot Krishna and Hari dwelt formerly.
Mbh.12.335.21461	He was devoted to Narayana known also by the name of Hari.
Mbh.12.335.21487	They composed that treatise after having worshipped with penances the puissant and illustrious Narayana called also Hari, for a thousand celestial years, in company with many other Rishis.
Mbh.12.336.21530	The ancient God of gods viz, Hari, became highly gratified with the king on account of that sacrifice.
Mbh.12.336.21539	Why is it that the puissant Hari only acted otherwise by invisibly taking his share'
Mbh.12.336.21577	In consequence of their hearts having been entirely set upon Him, Hari became highly pleased with them.
Mbh.12.336.21595	Without doubt, Hari appeared in that place whence the sound we heard arose.
Mbh.12.337.21675	Although dwelling in a pit of the Earth, the king still worshipped Hari, the Lord of all the deities, in the well-known five sacrifices that are performed five times every day, O slayer of foes!
Mbh.12.337.21676	In consequence of these adorations, Narayana, otherwise called Hari, became highly pleased with him who thus showed himself to be entirely devoted to Him, by wholly relying upon Him as his sole refuge, and who had completely subjugated his senses.
Mbh.12.337.21687	Only the puissant Lord Hari, that foremost of all Beings, was devoutly worshipped by him.
Mbh.12.338.21746	Thou art devoted to Hari,
Mbh.12.339.21798	With mind under complete control, the great Deity, called by the names of Hari and Narayana, by his other mouths, multitudinous in number, uttered many mantras from the four Vedas which are known by the name of Aranyaka.
Mbh.12.340.22188	Bow unto Him who always resides in the Ocean, and who is called Hari, and whose hair is like the blades of the Munja grass.
Mbh.12.340.22196	Asked by you, I have told you everything in detail, ye disciples, and do you act according to my words and dutifully serve the Supreme Lord called Hari.
Mbh.12.341.22216	I am desirous of hearing those names of Hari, that Supreme Lord of all creatures.
Mbh.12.341.22218	Vaisampayana said, Listen, O king, to what the significances are of the diverse names, due to attributes and acts, of Hari as the puissant Hari himself of cheerful soul explained them to Phalguna.
Mbh.12.341.22274	All the deities, including Brahma and Indra and the deities and the great Rishis, adore Narayana, that foremost of deities, otherwise called by the name of Hari.
Mbh.12.342.22341	When such is the condition of the universe, the foremost of Beings, viz, springs from Tamas, the eternal and immutable Hari that is the combination of the attributes of omnipotence and the rest, belonging to Narayana, that is indestructible and immortal, that is without senses, that is inconceivable and unborn, that is Truth's self fraught with compassion, that is endued with the form of existence which the rays of the gem called Chintamani have, that causes diverse kinds of inclinations to flow in diverse directions, that is divested of the principles of hostility and deterioration and mortality and decay, that is formless and all-pervading, and that is endued with the principle of universal Creation and of Eternity without beginning, middle, or end.
Mbh.12.342.22349	From that Purusha called Hari, thus born of Tamas and having Brahman for his parent, started into existence the Being called Brahman.
Mbh.12.342.22595	It is for these reasons that I am called by the name of Hari.
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.12.342.22724	Do thou bend thy head unto that god of gods, that lord of Uma, endued with immeasurable puissance With concentrated soul, do thou bend thy head unto that illustrious Lord of the universe, that indestructible deity, otherwise called by the name of Hari.
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.12.343.22746	Having listened from the beginning to this discourse on Hari, the lord of the universe, that destroys all sins, we feel that we have been cleansed of all our sins and sanctified entirely.
Mbh.12.343.22753	Indeed, I thank that Narada, who transcends all destruction, was endued with an energy that was not little, for repairing to White-Island he had succeeded in beholding the person of Hari.
Mbh.12.343.22763	Arrived at White Island, Narada beheld the immutable Hari.
Mbh.12.343.22797	Those marks and indications that characterise Hari himself of undisplayed form, characterise you two that are endued with forms displayed before the senses
Mbh.12.343.22828	This is what the illustrious and holy Hari has himself said unto me.
Mbh.12.346.22924	Having resided for a full thousand years in the retreat of Nara and Narayana, having beheld the immutable Hari, and heard the excellent discourse having Narayana for its topic, the celestial Rishi repaired to his own retreat on the breast of Himavat, Those foremost of ascetics viz, Nara and Narayana, however continued to reside in their delightful retreat of Vadari, engaged in the practice of the severest austerities.
Mbh.12.346.22928	His is neither this world nor the world hereafter, O best of kings, who hates instead of loving and reverencing the immutable Hari.
Mbh.12.346.22929	The ancestors of that person who hates Narayana, who is the foremost of deities, and is otherwise called Hari, sink into hell for eternity.
Mbh.12.346.22952	Hari ever does what is agreeable and beneficial to the denizens of heaven.
Mbh.12.347.22985	What, however, were the exact features, and what the energy, the like of which among all great objects, had never appeared before, of that form which Hari, the upholder of the universe, displayed on that occasion?
Mbh.12.347.22992	Janamejaya said, Tell me, O best of men, for what reason did Hari appear in that mighty form equipt with a horse-head and which Brahma, the Creator, beheld on the shores of the great northern Ocean on the occasion referred to by yourself
Mbh.12.347.23012	That illustrious and puissant Being is otherwise called by the name of Viswaksena or Hari.
Mbh.12.347.23046	While Brahma was uttering these words, O best of kings, the resolution suddenly arose in his mind, O foremost of intelligent persons, for hymning the praises of Hari in these words.
Mbh.12.347.23107	Meanwhile, O king, the Supreme Lord with the equine head, otherwise called Hari, who was himself in the nether region, took up all the Vedas.
Mbh.12.347.23126	Why is he thus asleep on the hood of a snake: Uttering these words, the two Danavas awakened Hari from his Yoga-slumber.
Mbh.12.347.23134	Aided then by Hari and assisted by the Vedas, Brahma created all the worlds with their mobile and immobile creatures.
Mbh.12.347.23135	After this, Hari, granting unto the Grandsire intelligence of the foremost order relating to the Creation, disappeared there and then for going to the place he had come from.
Mbh.12.347.23138	Thus did the blessed Hari assume in days of old that grand form having the equine head.
Mbh.12.347.23146	The puissant Hari is Yoga.
Mbh.12.347.23171	Those employed in investigating the several topics of enquiry with the aid of such reasons as are of wide application, regard Hari to be identical with the five reasons adverted to above and as the final refuge of all things.
Mbh.12.348.23184	SECTION CCCXLIX Janamejaya said, The illustrious Hari becomes gracious unto them that are devoted to him with their whole souls.
Mbh.12.348.23188	These, without going through the three successive stages of Aniruddha, Pradyumna, and Sankarshana, at once attain to the immutable Hari.
Mbh.12.348.23189	The end that is attained by Brahmanas, who, attending to due observances, study the Vedas with the Upanishads according to the rules laid down for regulating such study, and by those that adopt the religion of Yatis, is inferior, I think, to that attained by persons devoted to Hari with their whole souls.
Mbh.12.348.23228	The illustrious Narayana, otherwise called Hari, when he resolved upon Creation, thought of a Being who would be puissant enough to create the universe.
