Hrishikesa

Mbh.1.222.10835	Then Hrishikesa of great renown gave unto the party of the bridegroom much wealth.
Mbh.1.226.11092	Arjuna also said, O Pavaka, while Hrishikesa, endued with abundant energy, moves on the field of battle with this discus in hand, there is nothing in the three worlds that he will not be able to consume by hurling this weapon.
Mbh.2.2.33	The illustrious Hrishikesa approached his own sister Subhadra affectionately, with his eyes filled with tears, and spoke unto her words of excellent import and truth, terse proper, unanswerable and fraught with good.
Mbh.2.24.1106	Thus addressed by the monarchs, the high-souled Hrishikesa gave them every assurance and said, Yudhishthira is desirous of performing the sacrifice of Rajasuya.
Mbh.2.37.1562	Hrishikesa is the sacrificial priest, the guru, worthy of being solicited to accept one's daughter in marriage, the Snataka, the king, the friend: therefore hath Achyuta been worshipped by us.
Mbh.3.47.2447	Those ancient and excellent Rishis who were known by the names of Nara and Narayana are, know, O Brahmana, none else than Hrishikesa and Dhananjaya.
Mbh.3.202.10403	And thereupon both those proud and mighty Danavas, O king, laughingly replied unto Hrishikesa, saying, Ask boons of us, O Divine one!
Mbh.5.52.2963	Like the case of Indra, victory is always Arjuna's, who hath for his charioteer in battle Hrishikesa, endued with the same character and position.
Mbh.5.59.3267	Thus spoke Hrishikesa cheering up Partha by his words and roaring like rain-charged clouds in the firmament.
Mbh.5.69.3482	Dhritarashtra said, O Duryodhana, seek thou the protection of Janardana, otherwise called Hrishikesa.
Mbh.5.69.3492	He knoweth Hrishikesa, that ancient and exalted One.
Mbh.5.69.3498	Dhritarashtra said, Tell me, O Sanjaya, of that path without terrors by which, obtaining Hrishikesa, salvation may be mine'
Mbh.5.70.3518	He is called Hrishikesa, from Hrishika meaning eternal happiness' and Isa meaning the six divine attributes, the union signifying one having joy, happiness, and divinity.
Mbh.5.72.3607	As regard the person, however, who is struck, victory and defeat, O Hrishikesa, are the same.
Mbh.5.84.4052	Amongst the Brahmanas, O king, that resided in the village, they that were of noble and high descent, modest, and obedient to the injunctions of the Vedas in their conduct, approached that illustrious chastiser of foes, Hrishikesa, and honoured him with their benedictions and auspicious speeches.
Mbh.5.88.4148	Hrishikesa cometh here as an ambassador.
Mbh.5.89.4160	And the citizens by thousands, O king, on cars of diverse kinds, and many on foot, also came out, desirous of beholding Hrishikesa.
Mbh.5.89.4164	And all the citizens came out and lined the streets and bent their heads down to the ground singing eulogies in his honour, O king, when Hrishikesa entered the city and passed through it.
Mbh.5.124.5474	O mighty-armed one, he never listeneth to the beneficial words, O Hrishikesa, of Gandhari, or of wise Vidura, or of other friends headed by Bhishma, all of whom seek his good.
Mbh.5.130.5761	We, however, shall forcibly seize this tiger among men, Hrishikesa, first, like Indra forcibly seizing Virochana's son Vali.
Mbh.5.141.6314	If I do not now engage in a single combat with Arjuna, this will, O Hrishikesa, be inglorious for both myself and Partha.
Mbh.5.141.6323	He that hath Hrishikesa for his guide, and Dhananjaya and that mighty car-warrior Bhima for his combatants, as also Nakula and Sahadeva, and the sons of Draupadi, is fit, O Madhava, to rule over the whole earth.
Mbh.5.147.6559	Yudhishthira said, When Duryodhana desired to tread along the wrong path, what did the aged Kuru grandsire say, O Hrishikesa, unto that vindictive prince?
Mbh.5.159.7029	Baffling the nooses of Mura and slaying by his might that Asura, and vanquishing Naraka, the son of the Earth, Hrishikesa, while recovering the begemmed ear-rings of Aditi, with sixteen thousand girls and various kinds of jewels and gems, obtained that excellent bow called Sarnga.
Mbh.5.163.7349	It was for only the good of our race that king Yudhishthira the Just, endued with great intelligence, sent Hrishikesa to the Kurus for bringing about a peace!
Mbh.6.25.1091	Sanjaya continued, -'Thus addressed by Gudakesa, O Bharata, Hrishikesa, placing that excellent car between the two armies, in view of Bhishma and Drona and all the kings of the earth, said, Behold, O Partha these assembled Kurus, And there the son of Pritha beheld, standing his sires and grandsons, and friends, and father-in-law and well-wishers, in both the armies.
Mbh.6.26.1133	Sanjaya said, Having said this unto Hrishikesa, that chastiser of foes-Gudakesa, once more addressed Govinda, saying, I will not fight, and then remained silent
Mbh.6.26.1134	Unto him overcome by despondency, Hrishikesa, in the midst of the two armies, said.
Mbh.6.35.1684	Arjuna said, It is meet, Hrishikesa, that the universe is delighted and charmed in uttering thy praise, and the Rakshasas flee in fear in all directions, and the hosts of the Siddhas bow down to thee.
Mbh.6.51.2673	And Hrishikesa blew the conch called Panchajanya, and Dhananjaya that called Devadatta.
Mbh.6.66.3641	That person of foolish understanding is called a wretch, who, from disregard, speaketh of Hrishikesa as only a man.
Mbh.6.67.3699	Him, O king, the sages call Hrishikesa the lord of the senses.
Mbh.6.85.4489	Then during the progress of the fight, Kunti's son Arjuna, of white steeds, beholding Bhishma, who was incapable of being vanquished by very gods, proceeding to rescue thy sons in view of Abhimanyu, a boy and alone though a mighty car-warrior, addressed Vasudeva and said these words, Urge the steeds, O Hrishikesa, to that spot where are those numerous car-warriors.
Mbh.6.107.5694	Urge the steeds, O Hrishikesa, I will do thy bidding.
Mbh.6.107.5728	The mighty Partha, that slayer of hostile heroes, however, forcibly catching hold of his legs, stopped Hrishikesa with great difficulty at the tenth step.
Mbh.7.11.416	Slaying in battle the Danava named Panchajanya living in the depths of Patala, Hrishikesa obtained the celestial conch called Panchajanya.
Mbh.7.11.422	And since, humbled by devotion, I was suffered to behold Krishna as the Supreme Lord; everything about that feat is well-known to me, myself having witnessed it with my own eyes, O Sanjaya, the end can never be seen of the infinite achievements of Hrishikesa.
Mbh.7.11.432	What car will advance in battle against that car which has Hrishikesa for its driver and Dhananjaya for its warrior?
Mbh.7.18.810	Having said these words unto the mighty-armed Hrishikesa, Arjuna came upon the arrayed ranks of the Trigartas in battle, taking up then his conch called Devadatta decked with gold, he blew it with great force, filling all the points of the compass with its blare.
Mbh.7.19.839	SECTION XIX Sanjaya said, Beholding those Samsaptakas once more return to the field, Arjuna addressed the high-souled Vasudeva, saying, Urge the steeds, O Hrishikesa, towards the Samsaptakas.
Mbh.7.49.2285	What senseless, disjointed, and improper words shall we have to say today unto Hrishikesa and Dhananjaya!
Mbh.7.74.3247	Thou, O Hrishikesa, art the charioteer!
Mbh.7.74.3250	Knowing my prowess to be incapable of being resisted, why, O Hrishikesa, dost thou, yet rebuke me?
Mbh.7.74.3259	Sanjaya continued, Having said these words unto Hrishikesa, the son of Vasudeva, having himself said so unto his own self, Arjuna in a deep voice, once more addressed lord Kesava, saying, Thou shouldst O Krishna, so act that my car may be well equipt as soon as this night dawns, since grave is the task that is at hand
Mbh.7.80.3570	Then one of the orderlies in charge of the doors, cased in mail, youthful in years, decked with ear-rings, and his sword hanging by his side, entering the private apartment, knelt down on the ground, and saluting with a bend of his head the monarch who deserved every adoration, represented unto that high-souled and royal son of Dharma that Hrishikesa was waiting to be introduced.
Mbh.7.82.3615	Arrived there, Hrishikesa, like a charioteer by profession, began to equip that car bearing the mark of the prince of apes and belonging to that foremost of car-warriors viz, Arjuna.
Mbh.7.86.3811	Arjuna said, Urge the steeds, O Hrishikesa, to where Durmarshana stayeth.
Mbh.7.96.4409	Hrishikesa proceeded, borne by those yoke-bearing steeds endued with the speed of Garuda or the wind, with such speed that he caused the whole universe to wonder at it.
Mbh.7.97.4482	Then Hrishikesa, of eyes like lotus-petals, smiling with the coolest assurance, as if, O Bharata, he was in the midst of an assembly of women and not armed foes, after Arjuna had created in the field of battle that hall, made of arrows, led the steeds into it, in the very sight.
Mbh.7.98.4546	Seeing Hrishikesa and Dhananjaya transgress the divisions of Drona, thy valiant son, king Duryodhana, whose armour had been bound on his person by Drona, and who was well-versed in grooming and guiding horses, rushed, on a single car, O lord, for the protection of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.99.4596	And the Kshatriyas there, on thy side, highly applauded him then, for he proceeded to face Arjuna and Hrishikesa for resisting them.
Mbh.7.140.7049	Although thou knowest Hrishikesa and myself well, how is it that thou rebukest us thus?
Mbh.7.145.7593	Then, O king, Hrishikesa, stationed in the van of battle embracing Arjuna who had accomplished his vow, told him these words, By good luck, O Jishnu, thy great vow hath been accomplished.
Mbh.7.146.7649	It is through thy grace, O Hrishikesa, that Sakra hath become the chief of the celestials.
Mbh.7.146.7653	Through thy grace, O Hrishikesa, the mobile and immobile universe, without swerving from its ordained course, O hero, is engaged in prayers and homa
Mbh.7.146.7657	They that behold thee, O Hrishikesa, are never confounded.
Mbh.7.146.7661	They that are devoted to thee, O Hrishikesa, always tide over every difficulty.
Mbh.7.175.9554	Then, Hrishikesa, ever devoted to the good of the Pandavas, beholding that combat, despatched Hidimva's son for protecting Bhimasena
Mbh.7.180.9817	We rose every morning, having formed such a resolution in respect of that Lord of the very gods, viz, Hrishikesa of immeasurable energy.
Mbh.7.181.9911	Having said these words, Hrishikesa quickly urged the steeds.
Mbh.9.4.279	Whatever Hrishikesa will say unto the victorious king Yudhishthira and Arjuna and Bhimasena, all of them will, without doubt, obey.
Mbh.9.5.299	Why then, O regenerate one, will Hrishikesa trust my words?
Mbh.9.19.1191	Who else than Yudhishthira the son of Pritha, who hath Hrishikesa, the refuge of righteousness and fame, for his protector, is competent to vanquish in battle Bhishma and Drona and Karna and the ruler of the Madras and the other kings by hundreds and thousands
Mbh.12.45.2217	It behoveth thee to tell me also, O Rishi, what the heroic Hrishikesa, the supreme master of the three worlds did after this'
Mbh.12.47.2505	Thou, O Hrishikesa, art the Creator, thou art the Destroyer, and thou art invincible.
Mbh.12.48.2542	SECTION XLIX Vaisampayana said, Then Hrishikesa and king Yudhishthira, and all those persons headed by Kripa, and the four Pandavas, riding on those cars looking like fortified cities and decked with standards and banners, speedily proceeded to Kurukshetra with the aid of their fleet steeds.
Mbh.12.50.2723	Thou, O Hrishikesa, art incapable of being vanquished by any one.
Mbh.12.53.2844	Then Yudhishthira the son of Pandu, addressing Hrishikesa said, There is no one else than Devaki's son that can question the grandsire.
Mbh.12.55.2917	SECTION LVI Vaisampayana said, Having bowed unto Hrishikesa, and saluted Bhishma, and taken the permission of all the seniors assembled there, Yudhishthira began to put questions unto Bhishma'
Mbh.12.206.12465	SECTION CCVII Yudhishthira said, O grandsire, O thou of great wisdom, I desire to hear in detail, O chief of the Bharatas, of that lotus-eyed and indestructible one, who is the Creator of everything but who has been created by none, who is called Vishnu in consequence of his pervading everything, who is the origin of all creatures and unto whom all creatures return, who is known by the names of Narayana and Hrishikesa and Govinda and Kesava, and who is incapable of being vanquished by any one'
Mbh.12.336.21591	Salutations to thee, O Hrishikesa, O foremost of Beings, O thou that art the First-born!
Mbh.12.342.22591	It is in consequence of these acts of Agni and Shoma that uphold the universe that I have come to be called by the name of Hrishikesa, O son of Pandu.
Mbh.13.109.9914	By observing a fast on the twelfth day of the moon in the month of Bhadrapada and worshipping Krishna as Hrishikesa for the whole day and night, one attains to the merits of the Sautramani sacrifice and becomes cleansed of all sins.
Mbh.13.139.11469	The ascetics said, It behoveth thee, O Narada, to describe, in full, from the beginning, unto Hrishikesa, that wonderful and inconceivable incident which occurred, O puissant one, on the mountains of Himavat and which, O ascetic, was witnessed by those of us that had proceeded thither in course of our pilgrimage to the sacred waters.
Mbh.13.147.12366	He that is Rama is Hrishikesa.
Mbh.14.68.3039	Beholding the lying-in room in which thy sire was born thus equipt, Hrishikesa became very glad and said, Excellent, Excellent'
Mbh.14.87.3863	O Hrishikesa, I have heard that innumerable have been the battles which Vijaya has fought with the kings of the Earth.
Mbh.14.87.3874	Thus addressed, Hrishikesa, that enhancer of the glory of the Bhoja princes, having reflected for a long time, answered as follows, I do not see any censurable feature in this prince, except that the cheek bones of this lion among men are a little too high.
Mbh.14.87.3879	The slayer of Kesi, viz, Hrishikesa, approved of that indication of love for his friend which the princess of Panchala, who also was his friend, displayed
Mbh.15.31.1271	Hrishikesa is Narayana, and the twins are the Aswins.
Mbh.16.1.38	Hrishikesa having said so, entered his mansion.
Mbh.16.2.75	Beholding these signs that indicated the perverse course of Time, and seeing that the day of the new moon coincided with the thirteenth and the fourteenth lunation, Hrishikesa, summoning the Yadavas, said unto them these words: The fourteenth lunation has been made the fifteenth by Rahu once more.
Mbh.16.3.112	Hrishikesa ran to prevent him from doing further mischief.
Mbh.16.6.240	Having said these words unto me, Hrishikesa of inconceivable prowess, leaving me with the children, has gone away to some spot which I do not know.
