MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.1.2.265 In the interval between the Dwapara and the Kali Yugas there happened at Samanta-panchaka the encounter between the armies of the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
Mbh.1.60.2878 And he, the grand-father of the Pandavas, was born in an island of the Yamuna, of the virgin Kali by Sakti's son, Parasara.
Mbh.1.65.3297 And Sesha or Ananta, Vasuki, Takshaka, Kumara, and Kulika are known to be the sons of Kadru; and Bhimasena, Ugrasena, Suparna, Varuna, Gopati, and Dhritarashtra, and Suryavarchas the seventh, Satyavachas, Arkaparna, Prayuta, Bhima, and Chitraratha known to fame, of great learning, and a controller of his passions, and then Kalisiras, and, O king, Parjanya, the fourteenth in the list, Kali, the fifteenth, and Narada, the sixteenth, these Devas and Gandharvas are known to be the sons of Muni Daksha's daughter as mentioned before.
Mbh.1.67.3508 The evil-minded and wicked king Duryodhana, the destroyer of the fair fame of the Kurus, was born of a portion of Kali on earth.
Mbh.1.105.5919 And when Bhishma had said this, O thou of Kuru's race, Kali Satyavati thought of the Muni Dwaipayana and Dwaipayana who was then engaged in interpreting the Vedas, learning that he was being called up by his mother, came instantly unto her without anybody's knowing it.
Mbh.1.123.6654 Gopati and Dhritarashtra and Suryavarchas the eighth, Yugapa and Trinapa, Karshni, Nandi, and Chitraratha, Salisirah the thirteenth, Parjanya the fourteenth, Kali the fifteenth, and Narada the sixteenth in this list, Vrihatta, Vrihaka, Karala of great soul, Brahmacharin, Vahuguna, Suvarna of great fame, Viswavasu, Bhumanyu, Suchandra, Sam and the celebrated tribes of Haha and Huhu gifted with wonderful melody of voice, these celestial Gandharvas, O king, all went there.
Mbh.2.48.2032 The intelligent Vidura, however, as soon as he heard of it, knew that the arrival of Kali was at hand.
Mbh.3.3.196 Ravi, Gabhastimat, Aja, Kala, Mrityu, Dhatri, Prabhakara, Prithibi, Apa, Teja, Kha, Vayu, the sole stay, Soma, Vrihaspati, Sukra, Budha, Angaraka, Indra, Vivaswat, Diptanshu, Suchi, Sauri, Sanaichara, Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Skanda, Vaisravana, Yama, Vaidyutagni, Jatharagni, Aindhna, Tejasampati, Dharmadhwaja, Veda-karttri, Vedanga, Vedavahana, Krita, Treta, Dwapara, Kali, full of every impurity, Kala, Kastha, Muhurtta, Kshapa, Yama, and Kshana; Samvatsara-kara, Aswattha, Kalachakra, Bibhavasu, Purusha, Saswata, Yogin, Vyaktavyakta, Sanatana, Kaladhyaksha, Prajadhyaksha, Viswakarma, Tamounda, Varuna, Sagara, Ansu, Jimuta, Jivana, Arihan, Bhutasraya, Bhutapati, Srastri, Samvartaka, Vanhi, Sarvadi, Alolupa, Ananta, Kapila, Bhanu, Kamada, Sarvatomukha, Jaya, Visala, Varada, Manas, Suparna, Bhutadi, Sighraga, Prandharana, Dhanwantari, Dhumaketu, Adideva, Aditisuta, Dwadasatman, Aravindaksha, Pitri, Matri, Pitamaha, Swarga-dwara, Prajadwara, Mokshadwara, Tripistapa, Dehakarti, Prasantatman, Viswatman, Viswatomukha, Characharatman, Sukhsmatman, the merciful Maitreya.
Mbh.3.58.2875 SECTION LVIII Vrihadaswa said, When the blazing guardians of the worlds were returning after the daughter of Bhima had chosen Naishadha, on their way they met Dwapara with Kali approaching towards them.
Mbh.3.58.2876 And seeing Kali, Sakra the slayer of Vala and Vritra, said, O Kali, say whither thou art going with Dwapara'
Mbh.3.58.2877 And thereupon Kali replied unto Sakra, Going to Damayanti's Swayamvara, will I obtain her for my wife, as my heart is fixed upon that damsel'
Mbh.3.58.2880 Thus answered by Sakra, Kali, that vilest of the celestials, filled with wrath, addressing all those gods spake, Since in the presence of the celestials she hath chosen a mortal for her lord, it is meet that she should undergo a heavy doom'
Mbh.3.58.2881 Upon hearing these words of Kali, the celestials answered, It is with our sanction that Damayanti hath chosen Nala.
Mbh.3.58.2886 O Kali, the fool that wisheth to curse Nala bearing such a character, curseth himself, and destroyeth himself by his own act.
Mbh.3.58.2887 And, O Kali, he that seeketh to curse Nala crowned with such virtues, sinketh into the wide bottomless pit of hell rife with torments'
Mbh.3.58.2888 Having said this to Kali and Dwapara, the gods went to heaven.
Mbh.3.58.2889 And when the gods had gone away, Kali said unto Dwapara, I am ill able, O Dwapara, to suppress my anger.
Mbh.3.59.2892 SECTION LIX Vrihadaswa said, Having made this compact with Dwapara, Kali came to the place where the king of the Nishadhas was.
Mbh.3.59.2894 And it was in the twelfth year that Kali saw a hole.
Mbh.3.59.2896 And it was through this omission that Kali entered his person.
Mbh.3.59.2900 Thus exhorted by Kali, Pushkara went to Nala.
Mbh.3.59.2905 And possessed by Kali, Nala began to lose, in the game, his stakes in gold, and silver, and cars with the teams thereof, and robes.
Mbh.3.59.2912 But the king, possessed by Kali, uttered not a word in reply unto his queen of graceful glances, uttering thus her lamentations.
Mbh.3.62.3005 Thus his mind that was influenced by the wicked Kali, dwelling upon Damayanti, was made up for deserting her.
Mbh.3.62.3017 And addressing thus his dear wife peerless on earth in beauty, Nala strove to go, reft of reason by Kali.
Mbh.3.62.3018 Departing and still departing, king Nala returned again and again to that shed, dragged away by Kali but drawn back by love.
Mbh.3.62.3020 At length after lamenting long and piteously, Nala stupefied and bereft of sense by Kali went away, forsaking that sleeping wife of his.
Mbh.3.72.3623 And Nala upon becoming acquainted with the science of dice, Kali came out of his body, incessantly vomiting from his mouth the virulent poison of Karkotaka.
Mbh.3.72.3624 And when Kali, afflicted by Damayanti's curse came out of Nala's body, the fire of that curse also left Kali.
Mbh.3.72.3625 Indeed, long had been the time for which the king had been afflicted by Kali, as if he were of unregenerate soul.
Mbh.3.72.3626 And Kala the ruler of the Nishadhas, in wrath, was bent upon cursing Kali, when the latter, frightened, and trembling, said with joined hands, Control thy wrath, O king!
Mbh.3.72.3632 And thus addressed by Kali, king Nala controlled his wrath.
Mbh.3.72.3633 And thereupon the frightened Kali speedily entered into the Vibhitaka tree.
Mbh.3.72.3634 And while the Kali was conversing with Naishadha, he was invisible to others.
Mbh.3.72.3636 And from the touch of Kali the Vibhitaka tree from that hour fell into disrepute.
Mbh.3.72.3639 And after Nala had gone far away, Kali also returned to his abode.
Mbh.3.72.3640 And abandoned by Kali, O king, that lord of earth, the royal Nala, became freed from calamity though he did not assume his native form
Mbh.3.76.3775 Both were due to Kali.
Mbh.3.76.3776 And, O foremost of virtuous women, lamenting for me day and night, and overcome with sorrow, thou hadst in the woods cursed Kali, and so he began to dwell in my body, burning in consequence of thy curse.
Mbh.3.78.3871 Thou knowest it not, O fool, that it was Kali who did it all.
Mbh.3.79.3897 And, O thou of unfading glory, this history, destructive of the influence of Kali, is capable, O king, of comforting persons like thee when they listen to it.
Mbh.3.94.5010 Kali also sought to possess them.
Mbh.3.121.6209 this period is the junction between the Treta and the Kali age, O Kunti's son!
Mbh.3.148.7602 O son of Kunti, in the Kali Yuga a quarter only of virtue abideth.
Mbh.3.187.9307 The next Yuga, called Kali, is said to comprise one thousand years and its dawn, as well as eve, is said to comprise one hundred years.
Mbh.3.187.9309 And after the Kali Yuga is over, the Krita Yuga comes again.
Mbh.3.187.9317 In the Kali age, the Brahmanas also abstain from sacrifices and the study of the Vedas, are divested of their staff and deer-skin, and in respect of food become omnivorous.
Mbh.3.187.9323 This, O tiger among men, becometh the state of the world during the eve, O Bharata, of the Kali age!
Mbh.3.188.9478 In the Krita age I become white, in the Treta age I become yellow, in the Dwapara I have become red and in the Kali age I become dark in hue, I the Kali age, the proportion of immorality becometh three-fourths, a fourth only being that of morality.
Mbh.3.189.9511 I am filled with curiosity, however, in respect of what may happen in the Kali age.
Mbh.3.189.9523 In the dark age of Kali, O thou best of the Bharata race, morality mixed with three parts of sin liveth by the side of men.
Mbh.3.189.9526 O Pandava, the Brahmanas and Kshatriyas and Vaisyas and Sudras, in the Kali age will practise morality and virtue deceitfully and men in general will deceive their fellows by spreading the net of virtue.
Mbh.4.6.233 O Kali, O Kali, thou art the great Kali, ever fond of wine and meat and animal sacrifice.
Mbh.5.72.3597 O Krishna, Kali is ever present in battle-fields; lives are lost all around.
Mbh.5.74.3729 Even as, when Dharma became extinct, Kali was born in the race of Asuras flourishing with prosperity and blazing with energy, so was born Udavarta among the Haihayas.
Mbh.5.132.5881 Indeed, it is the king that is the cause of also the fourth Yuga viz, the Kali.
Mbh.5.132.5885 The king, however, who causeth the Kali age to set in, earneth sin exceedingly.
Mbh.5.133.5965 Misbehaving in the midst of those that are good, and the destroyer of thy race and family, by bringing thee forth, O Sanjaya, I have brought forth Kali himself in the shape of a son.
Mbh.5.142.6368 When thou wilt behold in battle Arjuna, on his car drawn by white steeds and driven by Krishna, applying Aindra, Agneya and Maruta weapons, and when thou wilt hear the twang of Gandiva piercing the welkin like the very thunder, then all signs of the Krita, the Treta, and the Dwapara ages will disappear but, instead, Kali embodied will be present.
Mbh.5.147.6577 Knowing this to have been his desire, I procured Kali to become my mother, having myself made a promise highly difficult to observe, for the sake of my father as also for the sake of our race.
Mbh.5.147.6601 Then, O king, the citizens, my auspicious mother Kali herself, our servants, the priests and the preceptors of our house, and many Brahmanas of great learning, all afflicted with great woe, solicited me to occupy the throne'
Mbh.5.176.7835 SECTION CLXXVI Bhishma said, I then placed the matter before my mother Kali, otherwise called Gandhavati, as also all our counsellors, and also before our special and ordinary priests and then permitted, O king, the eldest of those maidens, Amva, to depart.
Mbh.6.10.520 Sanjaya said, O bull of Bharata's race, four Yugas set in Bharata's Varsha, viz, Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali.
Mbh.6.10.522 O Lord; after the expiry of Krita comes Treta; after expiry of Treta comes Dwapara; and after that last of all, sets in Kali.
Mbh.6.10.526 In Kali, however, O bull of Bharata's race, there is no fixed limit of life's measure, in so much that men die while in the womb, as also soon after birth.
Mbh.6.10.533 The men born in Kali, O king, are endued with little energy, highly wrathful, covetous, and untruthful.
Mbh.6.10.534 Jealousy, pride, anger, deception, malice and covetousness, O Bharata, are the attributes of creatures in the Kali age.
Mbh.6.23.1018 Arjuna said, I bow to thee, O leader of Yogins, O thou that art identical with Brahman, O thou that dwellest in the forest of Mandara, O thou that art freed from decrepitude and decay, O Kali, O wife of Kapala, O thou that art of a black and tawny hue, I bow to thee.
Mbh.6.66.3666 He it is who, towards the close of the Dwapara Yuga and the beginning of the Kali Yuga, is sung of with Sankarshana, by believers with devotion.
Mbh.6.120.6584 Formerly, when my sire wedded Kali, he pleased with me gave me two boons, viz, that I should be incapable of being slain in battle, and that my death should depend on my own choice.
Mbh.9.58.4197 Know that the Kali age is at hand.
Mbh.11.8.350 From this thou wilt understand, O king, that thy son Duryodhana, born in Gandharis womb, was a portion of Kali, sprung for the object of causing a universal slaughter.
Mbh.12.68.3908 When the king, abandoning the great science totally, oppresses his subjects by evil means of diverse kinds, the age that sets in is called Kali.
Mbh.12.68.3909 During the age called Kali, unrighteousness becomes full and nothing of righteousness is seen.
Mbh.12.68.3922 The king is the cause of the fourth age called Kali.
Mbh.12.68.3926 By causing the Kali age, the king incurs a heavy load of sin.
Mbh.12.90.5094 The respective ages called Krita, Treta, Dwapara and Kali, O bull of Bharata's race, are all dependent on the conduct of the king.
Mbh.12.90.5130 When sinful men whose acts are known are allowed to move among the righteous without being punished for their misdeeds, Kali then overtakes the rulers of those realms
Mbh.12.140.8403 O bull of Bharata's race, that Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali, as regards their setting in, are all dependent on the king's conduct.
Mbh.12.206.12524 In the Kali age, O monarch, men have come to marry and live in pairs.
Mbh.12.230.14298 I shall, in their order, tell thee the number of years, that are thus for different purposes computed differently in respect of the Krita, the Treta, the Dwapara, and the Kali yugas.
Mbh.12.230.14305 The duration of the Kali yuga is one thousand years, and its morning extends for one hundred years, and its evening for one hundred
Mbh.12.230.14318 And those for the Kali are otherwise.
Mbh.12.230.14322 In the Dwapara, Sacrifice has been said to be the foremost, In the Kali yuga, only Gift is the one thing that has been laid down.
Mbh.12.231.14407 In the Kali, the same is the case with them.
Mbh.12.231.14413 In the Kali age, all the Vedas become so scarce that they may not be even seen by men.
Mbh.12.237.14683 The men of the Treta, the Dwapara, and the Kali Yugas are inspired with doubts.
Mbh.12.237.14699 In the Dwapara age as also in the Kali, the Vedas are overtaken by perplexity.
Mbh.12.237.14700 Towards the close of Kali again, it is doubtful if they ever become even visible to the eye
Mbh.12.259.15698 The duties in the Kali age, again, are entirely of another kind.
Mbh.12.259.15708 Like the small ponds at which the cattle drink or the shallow aqueducts along cultivated fields that dry up very soon, the eternal practices inculcated in the Smritis, falling into discontinuance, at last disappear totally in the Kali age.
Mbh.12.266.16223 This is mine, This other is not his, ideas like these with respect to property will not if the wicked be not punished prevail in the Kali age.
Mbh.12.279.17169 If while in the status of humanity for the second time he falleth through evil acts as represented by Kala in the form of Kali, he then sinks into the Dark colour and thus occupies the very lowest of all stages of existence.
Mbh.12.339.21940 Towards the close of the Dwapara and beginning of the Kali ages, I shall again appear in the world taking birth in the city of Mathura for the purpose of slaying Kansa.
