Mbh.1.2.371 | This parva treats of the journey of the Pandavas towards Panchala, the acquisition of Draupadi in the midst of all the Rajas, by Arjuna, after having successfully pierced the mark; and in the ensuing fight, the defeat of Salya, Kama, and all the other crowned heads at the hands of Bhima and Arjuna of great prowess; the ascertainment by Balarama and Krishna, at the sight of these matchless exploits, that the heroes were the Pandavas, and the arrival of the brothers at the house of the potter where the Pandavas were staying; the dejection of Drupada on learning that Draupadi was to be wedded to five husbands; the wonderful story of the five Indras related in consequence; the extraordinary and divinely-ordained wedding of Draupadi; the sending of Vidura by the sons of Dhritarashtra as envoy to the Pandavas; the arrival of Vidura and his sight to Krishna; the abode of the Pandavas in Khandava-prastha, and then their rule over one half of the kingdom; the fixing of turns by the sons of Pandu, in obedience to the injunction of Narada, for connubial companionship with Krishna. |

Mbh.1.198.9877 | Vyasa continued, Thus, O king, they who have been born as the Pandavas are none else than those Indras of old. |
Mbh.1.198.9886 | And observing the Pandavas in the forms of those Indras of old, and Arjuna also in the form of Indra sprung from Sakra himself, king Drupada was highly pleased. |
Mbh.1.200.9938 | The sons of Pandu endued with great strength, after their wedding were over, and after they had obtained Krishna like unto a second Sri along with great wealth, passed their days in joy and happiness, like so many Indras, in the capital of the king of the Panchalas SECTION CCI Vaivahika Parva continued Vaisampayana said, King Drupada, after his alliance with the Pandavas, had all his fears dispelled. |

Mbh.5.170.7695 | Stationed at the head of their divisions, all of them, remembering their great sufferings, without doubt, wander along the field like so many Indras! |
Mbh.11.22.896 | Burning with grief on account of the death of his son, and desirous of accomplishing his vow, Indras son Arjuna hath slain there that son of Vriddhakshatra! |
Mbh.12.223.13618 | Many thousands of Indras have passed away, O Vasava, each of whom was possessed of great strength and prowess. |
Mbh.12.223.13627 | Indeed, she had dwelt in thousands of Indras before thee, all of whom, again, were very much superior to thee. |
Mbh.12.226.13829 | Myself, thyself, and all those who will in future become the chiefs of the deities, shall have, O Sakra, to go the way along which hundreds of Indras have gone before thee. |
Mbh.12.226.13831 | In Time's course many thousands of Indras and of deities have been swept off yuga after yuga. |
