Mbh.1.2.412 Then is described how king Dhritarashtra of great prowess, having heard the word of the purohita of the Pandavas and the story of Indra's victory decided upon sending his purohita and ultimately despatched Sanjaya as envoy to the Pandavas from desire for peace.

Mbh.1.58.2829 When king Janamejaya was about to gratify Astika by granting the boon, the snake Takshaka, thrown off Indra's hands, remained in mid air without actually falling.
Mbh.1.58.2832 Sauti replied, Unto the unconscious Takshaka, that best of snakes, after he had been cast off Indra's hands, Astika had thrice said, Stay' Stay' Stay'
Mbh.1.63.3048 And, O king, this blessed and incomparable garland, widely known on earth as Indra's garland, shall be thy distinctive badge.
Mbh.1.63.3051 From that time forth, O monarch, all kings, following Vasu's example, began to plant a pole for the celebration of Indra's worship.
Mbh.1.67.3531 Nara, whose companion is Narayana, will be born as Indra's son and indeed, will be known as Arjuna, the mighty son of Pandu.
Mbh.1.67.3581 And, O king, the portions of the tribe of Apsaras which I have mentioned already, also became incarnate on earth according to Indra's commands, And sixteen thousand portions of those goddesses became, O king, in this world of men, the wives of Vasudeva.
Mbh.1.70.3672 And it was situated in a delta of the river, and the cluster of high trees standing together lent the place the look of a gaudy pole erected to Indra's honour.
Mbh.1.70.3696 And the king having entered that forest which was like unto Indra's garden, soon forgot his hunger and thirst.
Mbh.1.189.9455 And beholding Partha possessing the complexion of Indra's banner, advancing towards the bow, the principal Brahmanas shaking their deer-skins raised a loud clamour.
Mbh.1.191.9536 Art thou the embodiment of the science of weapons, or art thou Rama that best of Brahmanas, or Indra himself, or Indra's younger brother Vishnu called also Achyuta, who for disguising himself hath assumed the form of a Brahmana and mustering such energy of arms fighteth with me?
Mbh.1.208.10272 And decked with innumerable mansions, the city became like unto Amaravati and came to be called Indraprastha like unto Indra's city.
Mbh.1.224.10933 Desiring to consume the forest I succeed not in my attempts in consequence of Indra's prowess.
Mbh.1.228.11145 With that weapon the energy and force of Indra's thunderbolt and of those clouds were destroyed.
Mbh.2.12.480 O bull of the Bharata race, all those monarchs that perform the sacrifice of Rajasuya, attaining to the region of Indra pass their time in felicity in Indra's company.
Mbh.2.22.999 Death in battle is the sure cause of triumph like Indra's.
Mbh.3.35.1838 Like a large tree in a well-watered region with spreading branches and flowers and leaves, or like Indra's elephant, how will Jishnu live unknown?
Mbh.3.39.2038 And the two shafts fell upon the boar with a loud sound, even like that of Indra's thunderbolt and the thunder of the clouds falling together upon the breast of a mountain.
Mbh.3.42.2284 Then Arjuna saw standing at the gates Indra's region the handsome and ever victorious elephant, Airavata, furnished with four tusks, and resembling the mountain of Kailasa with its summits.
Mbh.3.47.2437 And beholding Arjuna seated on Indra's seat, the Rishi began to think as to how Arjuna who was a Kshatriya had attained to the seat of Sakra himself.
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.3.52.2582 SECTION LII Nalopakhyana Parva Janamejaya said, When the high-souled Partha went to Indra's region for obtaining weapons, what did Yudhishthira and the other sons of Pandu do
Mbh.3.52.2583 Vaisampayana said, When the high-souled Partha went to Indra's region for obtaining weapons, those bulls of the Bharata race continued to dwell with Krishna in the woods of Kamyaka.
Mbh.3.84.4589 Arriving next with speed to the river called Nanda a regenerate one becometh freed from all his sins and ascendeth with soul under control to Indra's region.
Mbh.3.101.5295 And struck with Indra's Vajra the great Asura decked in gold and garlands fell head-long, like the great mountain Mandara hurled of yore from Vishnu's hands; and although the prince of Daityas was slain, yet Sakra in panic ran from the field, desiring to take shelter in a lake, thinking that the Vajra itself had not been hurled from his hands and regarding that Vritra himself was still alive.
Mbh.3.118.6079 And highly pleased, he recounted to them all the machinations of his adversaries, and how also he had resided in the forest, and how Arjuna had gone to Indra's abode in order to learn the science of arms, all this he related with a gladdened heart.
Mbh.3.126.6459 he of mighty force and unmeasured lustre, erected sacred piles, and performed splendid pious deeds, and attained the position of sitting at Indra's side.
Mbh.3.135.6921 Because Yavakri, chief of the Brahmanas, paid no heed to Indra's words, the latter began to fill the Ganga with sands.
Mbh.3.141.7186 Aiming at the possession of Indra's place, by the force of austere and Vedic lore, that mighty-minded demon had practised austere penances for ten thousand years.
Mbh.3.141.7194 By the merit of his successful ascetic acts he aimeth at Indra's position.
Mbh.3.161.8197 And, O king, abiding in Indra's regions, he who on the banks of the Yamuna had worshipped the gods, the pitris, and the Brahmanas, by celebrating seven grand horse sacrifices, that great grandsire of thine, the emperor Santanu of severe austerities, who hath attained heaven, hath enquired of thy welfare
Mbh.3.163.8271 And Arjuna, having dwelt for five years in the abode of him of a thousand eyes, and having from that lord of celestials obtained all the celestial weapons, such as those of Agni, of Varuna, of Soma, of Vayu, of Vishnu, of Indra, of Pasupati, of Brahma, of Parameshthi, of Prajapati, of Yama, of Dhata, of Savita, of Tvashta, and of Vaisravana; and having bowed down to and gone round him of a hundred sacrifices, and taken his Indra's permission, cheerfully came to the Gandhamadana
Mbh.3.167.8434 Next I beheld Indra's abode, Amaravati, adorned with jewels and trees yielding any sort of fruit that is desired.
Mbh.3.169.8533 And on being wounded by my fleet and straight-coursing shafts of the touch of Indra's thunder-bolt, they became greatly agitated.
Mbh.3.173.8690 In this manner, O king, duly honoured, I delightfully dwelt in Indra's sacred abode with the children of the Gandharvas.
Mbh.3.230.11594 Airavata Indra's elephant is known to have had two bells of the name of Vaijayanti, and the keen-witted Sakra had them brought to him, and personally gave them to Guha.
Mbh.3.230.11608 And that lord of all animals Mahadeva seated in that chariot with Uma, looked like the sun with flames of lightning illuminating masses of clouds begirt with Indra's bow rainbow.
Mbh.3.279.13638 And dressed with care, Ravana looked like the Kalpa tree in Indra's garden.
Mbh.3.288.14064 And Rakshasa hurled at Rama a terrible javelin looking like Indra's thunderbolt and resembling a Brahmana's curse on the point of utterance
Mbh.4.48.1868 Hard though he be as Indra's thunderbolt and possessed of the energy of the chief of the celestials, I will surely grind Partha, even as one afflicts an elephant by means of burning brands.
Mbh.4.51.1973 Let all of us, uniting, fight with Indra's son who hath come.
Mbh.4.61.2393 I slew of old, at Indra's command, hundreds and thousands of Paulomas and Kalakhanjas in battle.
Mbh.5.9.295 And that being of universal form possessed of great lustre hankered after Indra's seat.
Mbh.5.10.415 Thou shalt be happy and shall dwell eternally in Indra's regions'
Mbh.5.11.493 Now Nahusha came to hear that Indra's queen had taken refuge with Vrihaspati, the son of Angiras.
Mbh.5.12.540 This will be for the good of Indra's queen, and of us as well.
Mbh.5.12.548 Then the assembled gods led by Agni, with a view to the welfare of all the worlds, spoke to Indra's queen in a quiet way.
Mbh.5.12.552 Ascertaining this to be the result of that deliberation, Indra's queen, for attaining her end, went bashfully to Nahusha of awful mien.
Mbh.5.13.560 Thus addressed by Indra's queen, Nahusha was pleased.
Mbh.5.14.596 And having beheld that goddess, youthful and lovely, standing before her, Indra's queen, glad at heart, paid respects to them and said, I desire to know who thou art, O thou of lovely face'
Mbh.5.14.610 And Indra's queen began to glorify him by reciting his celebrated deeds of yore.
Mbh.5.18.803 He who readeth this story of Indra's victory with a heart full of religious faith, is cleansed of his sins, attaineth a region of bliss, and obtaineth joy both in this world and in the next.
Mbh.5.49.2805 The chastiser of foes, Nara, slew in battle hundreds and thousands of Indra's foes among the Paulomas and the Kalakhanjas.
Mbh.5.59.3254 Sitting up erect like Indra's banner, adorned with every ornament, and resembling Indra himself in energy, Krishna then addressed me.
Mbh.5.142.6365 The divine artificer, Bhaumana, hath applied such celestial illusion in its construction that it standeth high, displayed like Indra's banner.
Mbh.5.159.7028 The bow called Gandiva was obtained by Indra's son Arjuna from Agni on the occasion of the burning of Khandava, while the bow called Vijaya was obtained from Drona by Rukmi of great energy.
Mbh.5.168.7622 Then Bhagadatta, O son of Gandhari, who regarded Indra as his friend, made friendship with Indra's son the high-souled Pandava.
Mbh.5.187.8381 Then filled with wrath at what he had seen the day before and what he saw that day, Rama hurled at me a dart, hard as Indra's thunderbolt and possessed of effulgence, resembling the Yama's mace!
Mbh.6.3.153 Meteors, effulgent like Indra's thunder-bolt, fall with loud hisses
Mbh.6.50.2643 And Dhananjaya's standard, created at Indra's command by the celestial artificer, while moving through the skies, seemed wonderfully beautiful.
Mbh.6.50.2644 Decked with banners bearing hues resembling those of Indra's bow coursing through the air like a ranger of the skies, and looking like the fleeting edifice of vapour in the welkin, it seemed, O sire to glide dancingly along the track of the car to which it was attached.
Mbh.6.62.3392 Indeed, O Bharata, putting forth his strength on all sides, mace in arms, we beheld Bhimasena then to resemble Sankara himself dancing at the end of the Yuga, and his fierce, heavy, and sounding mace to resemble the club of Yama and possessed of the sound of Indra's bolt.
Mbh.6.63.3411 And the terrible and slaughtering mace of Bhimasena, resembling the fierce bludgeon of Death and endued with the effulgence of Indra's bolt, looked like Pinaka of the angry Rudra while destroying living creatures.
Mbh.6.86.4502 Struck thus by Indra's son, O king, some of them fell down on the field, covered with blood.
Mbh.6.91.4770 Embracing his son then who resembled himself in accomplishments, Partha, in Indra's abode, was filled with joy.
Mbh.6.93.4904 Beholding that arrow, blazing as Indra's bolt, thus coursing towards him, the high-souled Ghatotkacha baffled it by the celerity of his movements.
Mbh.6.95.4985 Taking up a large bow whose effulgence resembled that of Indra's bolt, he covered the son of Pandu with a thick shower of arrows.
Mbh.6.95.5013 Drawing then his large bow, of twang loud as the roar of Indra's thunder, that foremost of intelligent persons set his heart upon the destruction of Nila.
Mbh.6.96.5105 Drawing his large bow whose effulgence resembled that of Indra's bolt, he roared with great energy at the mighty car-warriors of the Pandava army, shooting at the same time many bright arrows of great sharpness and possessed of the effulgence of fire.
Mbh.6.102.5462 The fiery son of Drona, however, excited with wrath, cut in twain that arrow as it coursed impetuously towards Kripa, resembling Indra's bolt in effulgence.
Mbh.6.109.5946 Shooting on all sides his whetted arrows whose touch resembled that of Indra's thunder, he seemed to the enemy to have assembled a terrible visage.
Mbh.6.118.6445 And no car-warrior, O Bharata, of the Pandava host ventured to vanquish or even proceed against that warrior of gigantic proportions, save Indra's son Arjuna owning white steeds and having Krishna for his charioteer.
Mbh.7.15.687 And the blows, loud as Indra's thunder, of the maces wielded by those two lions among men were heard on all sides.
Mbh.7.15.692 And each of those heroes, in consequence of the other's impetuosity and violence being struck with each other's mace, fell down at the same instant of time like a couple of Indra's poles.
Mbh.7.23.1136 Of fierce impetuosity resembling that of Indra's thunder, beautiful steeds of the hue of Indragopakas, with variegated patches, bore Chitrayudha.
Mbh.7.25.1332 Desirous of alone slaughtering in battle thousands of car-warriors, Indra's son Arjuna having the foremost of apes on banner, suddenly turned back.
Mbh.7.27.1393 Then Indra's son cut open the armour in which that elephant was eased, by means of a thick shower of arrows.
Mbh.7.27.1448 The son of Indra then, having slain in battle that monarch who resembled Indra himself in prowess and who was Indra's friend, broke the other warriors of thy army inspired with hope of victory like the mighty wind breaking rows of trees
Mbh.7.29.1530 The great car-warriors of the Pandavas, O sire, all thought, Alas, how would Indra's son Arjuna be able to rescue us from the foe, when that mighty warrior is engaged on the southern part of the field in slaughtering the remnant of the Samsaptakas and the Narayana force
Mbh.7.38.1940 No car-warrior of thy army succeeded at that time in obstructing the progress towards Drona, of Abhimanyu, who was the son of Indra's son and who was afflicting all the foremost car-warriors of the Kaurava host.
Mbh.7.49.2302 Beholding this son of Indra's son, of unrivalled energy and prowess, on the field of battle, neither victory, nor sovereignty, nor immortality, nor abode with the very celestials, causeth me the least delight
Mbh.7.57.2659 And with libations of clarified butter he contributed to Indra's delight
Mbh.7.82.3623 Then Govinda, that foremost of charioteers, took the reins of the steeds, like Matali taking the reins of Indra's steeds, while the latter went to battle for slaying Vritra
Mbh.7.87.3846 Sanjaya said, When Indra's son Arjuna, O sinless one, began, with his excellent arrows, to break and incessantly slay that force of ours many heroes were either slain, or becoming dispirited, fled away.
Mbh.7.90.4100 Then, Arjuna with a couple of sharp broad-faced arrows, cut off the uplifted arms of Srutayus which held the mace, those arms that looked like a couple of Indra's standard, and with another winged arrow, he cut off the head of that warrior.
Mbh.7.112.5508 Then Yuyudhana took up another bow capable of piercing everybody, large as a Sala-offshoot, and of twang resembling the roar of Indra's thunder, and filled with rage, stretched in and then pierced Jalasandha with a single shaft.
Mbh.7.114.5574 The son of Bharadwaja always on the alert for an opportunity, then sped in that battle many other arrows of Satyaki which resembled the roar of Indra's thunder.
