MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.1.207.10210 Possessed of immeasurable intelligence, the modest Vidura then, in the presence of the Pandavas and Keshava, addressed the well-behaved Drupada thus: With thy ministers and sons, O monarch, listen to what I say.
Mbh.2.3.86 There were placed by Keshava thousands and tens of thousands of sacrificial stakes adorned with golden garlands and altars of great splendour.
Mbh.2.15.672 But what shall I say, O Keshava?
Mbh.8.2.33 Counsels for thy good had been uttered by Vidura and Ganga's son and Keshava.
Mbh.8.6.165 That invincible hero, viz, Abhimanyu, who, though a child in years, was still equal in battle to Arjuna or Keshava or Baladeva, O lord, that, warrior who was highly accomplished in battle, after making an immense slaughter of the foe, was at last encompassed by six foremost of car-warriors and slain by them.
Mbh.8.8.242 Relying on the might of his own arms, he always disregarded Keshava of unfading glory, and Dhananjaya, and the Vrishnis, and all other foes!
Mbh.8.10.406 The son of Pandu with Keshava are not able to even look at the shafts shot by thee, like owls unable to gaze at the burning rays of the Sun!
Mbh.8.16.653 And celestial kettle-drums sounded, and floral showers fell upon the heads of Keshava and Arjuna.
Mbh.8.16.654 And an incorporeal voice said, These viz, Keshava and Arjuna, are those two heroes that always possess the beauty of the moon, the splendour of fire, the force of the wind and the radiance of the sun.
Mbh.8.16.663 Saluting Drona's son whose mind was fixed upon one thing, Keshava, said unto him, O Ashvatthama, be cool, and without losing a moment strike and bear.
Mbh.8.16.669 pierced Keshava with sixty shafts and Arjuna with three.
Mbh.8.16.672 Stringing it within the twinkling of an eye, he pierced Arjuna and Keshava, the latter with three hundred arrows, and the former with a And
Mbh.8.16.676 Hearing that roar of his, the son of Pandu said unto Keshava of unfading glory these words Behold, O Madhava, this wickedness towards me of the preceptor's son.
Mbh.8.17.700 Endued with mighty energy, that achiever of fierce feats, Ashvatthama then pierced both Keshava and Arjuna with well-shot shafts which were inspired with great impetuosity and struck with which Death himself would feel pain.
Mbh.8.17.719 Replying unto Keshava of unfading glory with the words So be it
Mbh.8.17.726 After Ashvatthama, that enemy of theirs, had been thus removed from the field by his steeds like a disease removed from the body by incantations and medicines and means, Keshava and Arjuna proceeded towards the samsaptakas, on their car whose rattle resembled the roar of the clouds and whose banner waved on the wind
Mbh.8.18.728 Turning the course of the car, but without stopping the steeds which were as fleet as Garuda or the wind, Keshava, addressing Arjuna, said, The chief of the Magadhas, with his foe-crushing elephant is unrivalled in prowess.
Mbh.8.18.731 At the conclusion of his words, Keshava bore Partha to the presence of Dandadhara.
Mbh.8.27.1164 The illustrious Keshava then, quickly taking up the goad and the reins, caused the steeds to bear the car to the front of Satyasena's vehicle.
Mbh.8.30.1296 Then those two foremost of men, viz, Arjuna and Keshava, having said their daily prayer and duly worshipped the lord Bhava, quickly rushed against thy troops, resolved to slay those foes of theirs.
Mbh.8.31.1363 Alas, the foolish Duryodhana, relying on Karna, hopeth to vanquish the Parthas with their sons and Keshava in battle!
Mbh.8.35.1854 If the Suta's son, by some means, succeeds in slaying the son of Kunti, Keshava, beholding Partha slain, will fight himself.
Mbh.8.35.1891 Karna said, O ruler of the Madras, be thou ever engaged in our good as Brahman in that of Ishana, as Keshava in that of Partha
Mbh.8.37.1978 Who else, save Arjuna, could take away the younger sister of Keshava that foremost of all persons, having forcibly agitated the home of the Yadus that was protected by the younger brother of Indra and that resembled heaven itself that is guarded by the chief of celestials?
Mbh.8.38.2012 Indeed, unto him who discovers Keshava and Arjuna to me, I shall, after slaying those two, give all the wealth that may be left by them
Mbh.8.41.2234 Rama himself, O Karna, before the kings in the Kuru assembly spake of the great prowess of both Partha and Keshava.
Mbh.8.41.2243 Like the Sun and moon, Keshava and Arjuna are celebrated for their resplendence.
Mbh.8.43.2335 If all the gods themselves with Vasava would fight with me, I would not still feel any fear, what need be said then of my fears from Pritha and Keshava?
Mbh.8.45.2485 Do not let me slay Keshava and Arjuna, having slain thee first
Mbh.8.46.2518 On their left, the Kambojas, the Sakas, and the Yavanas, with cars and horse and foot, at the command of the Suta's son, stood, challenging Arjuna and the mighty Keshava.
Mbh.8.46.2542 That car for which the Leader of the universe, viz, Agni, who derives his effulgence from Brahman, became the steeds, that car which was known amongst the gods as belonging to Brahman because it sprang first from Brahman himself, that car which in days of old had successively borne Brahman and Ishana and Indra and Varuna one after another, riding on that primeval car, Keshava and Arjuna now proceeded to battle.
Mbh.8.46.2582 If, O son of Radha, thou succeedest in slaying him that hath Keshava for his driver and Gandiva for his bow, then thou shalt be our king.
Mbh.8.49.2770 Go back to thy quarters, O son of Kunti, or thither where those two, viz, Keshava and Arjuna, are.
Mbh.8.53.3011 Some among them seized the massive arms of Keshava, and some among them, O king, seized Partha himself with great joy as he stood on his car.
Mbh.8.53.3012 Then Keshava, shaking his arms on the field of battle, threw down all those that had seized them, like a wicked elephant shaking down all the riders from his back.
Mbh.8.53.3013 Then Partha, encompassed by those great car-warriors, and beholding his car assailed and Keshava attacked in that manner became filled with rage, and overthrew a large number of car-warriors and foot-soldiers.
Mbh.8.53.3015 Addressing Keshava then, he said, Behold, O Krishna, O thou of mighty arms, these countless samsaptakas engaged in accomplishing a fearful task although slaughtered in thousands.
Mbh.8.56.3235 Indeed, thy host broke on all sides as those white steeds in trappings of gold, urged by Keshava, penetrated into its midst.
Mbh.8.56.3237 Keshava and Arjuna, filled with rage, and with eyes red as blood, as they penetrated, piercing through thy vast host, looked exceedingly resplendent in their splendour.
Mbh.8.56.3266 As soon as he beheld him of Dasharha's race Keshava on the car, O king, he once more sped at him, and repeated showers of fierce shafts.
Mbh.8.59.3425 Those steeds, of the splendour of the moon, urged by Keshava, proceeded towards the car of Drona's son, devouring the very skies.
Mbh.8.64.3780 Then Keshava proceeded, desirous of beholding Yudhishthira, thinking that Karna meanwhile, O monarch, would be overwhelmed with fatigue!
Mbh.8.65.3802 I desire, O Keshava to see king Ajatasatru
Mbh.8.65.3803 Sanjaya continued, Just as he was on the point of urging the steeds, Keshava, that foremost one of the Dasharhas, addressed Bhima, saying, This feat is not at all wonderful for thee, O Bhima!
Mbh.8.68.3956 Thou hast Keshava for thy driver.
Mbh.8.68.3958 If, O thou of wicked soul, thou hadst given this bow to Keshava and become his driver, then Keshava could have by this time slain the fierce Karna like the lord of the Maruts Sakra slaying with his thunder the Asura Vritra.
Mbh.8.69.3965 Beholding his wrath, Keshava, conversant with the workings of the human heart said, Why, O Partha, dost thou draw thy sword?
Mbh.8.69.4064 O Keshava of the Vrishni clan, thou knowest my vow that whoever among men would tell me, Partha, give thy Gandiva to some one braver than you' I shall at once put an end to his life.
Mbh.8.69.4067 If I slay him, O Keshava, I will not be able to live in this world for even a moment.
Mbh.8.70.4144 Thus addressed by that foremost of men, Arjuna, in great sorrow answered Keshava, saying, I shall, putting forth my strength, slay my own self by whom this wicked act hath been done
Mbh.8.70.4145 Hearing those words of Partha, Keshava, that foremost of all righteous persons said this unto Dhananjaya, Having said these words unto the king, why hast thou become so cheerless?
Mbh.8.71.4249 Thus addressed, Keshava, O best of kings, said unto Partha, Thou art competent, O best of the Bharatas, to slay the mighty Karna.
Mbh.8.73.4346 SECTION Sanjaya said, Once more Keshava of immeasurable soul said these words unto Arjuna, who, O Bharata, was advancing to battle, firmly resolved upon slaying Karna, Today is the seventeenth day, O Bharata, of this terrible massacre of men and elephants and steeds.
Mbh.8.74.4477 SECTION Sanjaya said, Hearing these words of Keshava, O Bharata, Vibhatsu soon cast off his anxiety and became cheerful.
Mbh.8.74.4478 Rubbing then the string of gandiva and stretching it, he held his bow for the destruction of Karna, and addressed Keshava, saying, With thee for my protector, O Govinda, and when thou that art acquainted with the past and the future art gratified with me today, victory is sure to be mine.
Mbh.8.74.4492 Today, O Keshava, I will shoot an irresistible and unrivalled arrow that will deprive Karna of life.
Mbh.8.74.4511 Today, cranes and other carnivorous birds will, O Keshava, sport over the limbs of Karna cut off into pieces with my shafts.
Mbh.8.74.4515 Today, O Keshava, slaying the son of Radha, with all his kinsmen, I will gladden king Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma.
Mbh.8.74.4519 Today, I will bestow the earth, divested of Dhartarashtras on my brother, or, perhaps, thou, O Keshava, wilt walk over the earth divested of Arjuna!
Mbh.8.76.4621 Behold, O hero, that discus of Keshava, that enhancer of his fame, which is always worshipped by the Yadus.
Mbh.8.79.4801 Thus addressed, Keshava quickly proceeded on his car, towards the mighty bowman Karna, for causing a single combat to take place between Karna and Savyasaci.
Mbh.8.79.4860 He is, again, protected by that Keshava of great energy, who is Narayana himself and who is without a rival, that high-souled Vasudeva, that ever-victorious Vishnu armed with conch, discus, and mace, whose attributes all the world united together, cannot in narrating exhaust in years.
Mbh.8.79.4888 Then Drona's son pierced Dhananjaya with ten foremost of shafts, and Keshava with three, and the four steeds of Dhananjaya with four, and showered many shafts on the Ape on Arjuna's banner.
Mbh.8.79.4899 Then Keshava, quickly urging Arjuna's car, placed all his afflicted foes on his right side.
Mbh.8.83.5095 Having said these words, O king, the victorious Vrikodara, once more spoke these words unto Keshava and Arjuna.
Mbh.8.84.5153 Thus addressed in that battle by his brother, Nakula, standing before him, the diadem-decked Arjuna, that formidable hero, precipitately caused his ape-bannered vehicle, guided by Keshava himself, to be driven towards Vrishasena
Mbh.8.86.5242 Thus addressed by the high-souled son of Pandu, Keshava wished him victory and urged steeds as fleet as thought.
Mbh.8.87.5369 The lotus-eyed Keshava pierced Shalya with his keen glances.
Mbh.8.88.5408 Then Duryodhana, and the chief of the Bhojas, and Subala's son, and Kripa, and the son of Sharadvata's daughter, these five great car-warriors, assailed Dhananjaya and Keshava with shafts capable of producing great pain.
Mbh.8.89.5530 Indeed, urged by Bhima and Janardana, and recollecting his woes, and taking an internal survey of himself, and calling to mind the object for which he had come to this world, he addressed Keshava, saying, I will now invoke into existence a mighty and fierce weapon for the good of the world and the destruction of the Suta's son.
Mbh.8.89.5532 Having said these words unto the holy Keshava, Savyasaci of immeasurable soul bowed unto Brahman and invoked into existence that excellent irresistible weapon called brahmastra which could be applied by the mind alone.
Mbh.8.90.5693 After that snake had been cut off by Arjuna, the lord Keshava himself, O king, of massive arms, that foremost of beings, raised up with his arms that car from the earth.
Mbh.8.96.6101 Partha answered Keshava, that bull of Yadu's race, saying, So be it'
Mbh.8.96.6121 Sanjaya continued, Having heard these words of the high-souled Keshava, Yudhishthira, with great joy, worshipped in return that hero of Dasharha's race.
Mbh.8.96.6125 Then that chief of Kuru's race, that righteous son of Pritha, taking hold of Keshava's right arm adorned with Angadas, and addressing both Keshava and Arjuna, said, Narada told me that ye two are the gods Nara and Narayana, those ancient and best of Rishis, that are ever employed in the preservation of righteousness.
Mbh.9.5.304 Having heard of the slaughter of his sister's son, Keshava passeth his nights in sorrow.
Mbh.9.7.455 Having said these words, Keshava, that slayer of hostile heroes, proceeded to his tent in the evening, worshipped by the Pandavas.
Mbh.9.7.456 After Keshava had gone, king Yudhishthira the just, dismissing all his brothers and the Somakas, happily slept that night, like an elephant from whose body the darts have been plucked out.
Mbh.9.11.679 That foremost of warriors, Duryodhana, possessed of fierce energy, proceeded, in that battle, against Keshava and Arjuna, and endued with might, he struck them both with many arrows.
Mbh.9.22.1544 And the illustrious Keshava, as he entered that forest on that car decked with many banners and pennons, looked exceedingly resplendent.
Mbh.9.26.1816 Rejoicing with Keshava among them, they blew their conchs in that battle, gladdening their troops.
Mbh.9.27.1933 Obtaining the permission of king Yudhishthira and Keshava, I set out for Hastinapura, for protecting the people thus flying away'
Mbh.9.30.2206 Rolling his eyes in wrath, and as if burning the Pandavas with his glances, and contracting his brow into three furrows, and repeatedly biting his nether lip, he addressed the Pandavas with Keshava in their midst, saying, You Pandavas, you shall have to bear the fruit of these taunts!
Mbh.9.32.2343 Beholding him, the Pandavas, with Keshava, filled with joy advanced towards him, and receiving him, worshipped him with due rites.
Mbh.9.32.2361 Thus worshipped by those great car-warriors, the elder brother of Keshava, of mighty arms and great beauty, took his seat amongst them.
Mbh.9.33.2365 He had said unto Keshava, I will render aid neither unto the son of Dhritarashtra nor unto the sons of Pandu, but will go whithersoever I like'
Mbh.9.33.2371 Having gone to Hastinapura and met Dhritarashtra, Keshava spoke words of true and especially beneficial import.
Mbh.9.33.2495 The elder brother of Keshava then proceeded quickly to Udapana.
Mbh.9.49.3670 The mighty son of Rohini, and elder brother of Keshava, having given away wealth in that tirtha, then joyfully proceeded to another place where lived in days of yore an old lady without having passed through the ceremony of marriage
Mbh.9.53.3851 In the midst of that concourse the mighty-armed and handsome elder brother of Keshava, O monarch, as he sat down, was worshipped by all around him.
Mbh.9.56.4052 Having heard those words of the high-souled Keshava, Dhananjaya struck his own left thigh before the eyes of Bhimasena.
Mbh.9.57.4115 Having attained to the other shores of those fierce hostilities, Vrikodara once more laughingly said these words slowly unto Yudhishthira and Keshava and Srinjaya and Dhananjaya and the two sons of Madri, They that had dragged Draupadi, while ill, into the assembly and had disrobed her there, behold those Dhartarashtras slain in battle by the Pandavas through the ascetic penances of Yajnasena's daughter!
Mbh.9.58.4176 The mighty Keshava, however, ever bending with humanity, seized the rushing Rama encircling him with his massive and well-rounded arms.
Mbh.9.58.4178 For pacifying the angry Rama, Keshava addressed him, saying, There are six kinds of advancement that a person may have: one's own advancement, the advancement of one's friends, the advancement of one's friends, the decay of one's enemy, the decay of one's enemy's friends, and the decay of one's enemy's friends' friends.
Mbh.9.58.4200 Sanjaya continued, Hearing this fallacious discourse from Keshava, O king, Rama failed to dispel his wrath and became cheerful.
Mbh.9.60.4338 At that time, always engaged, O bull of Bharata's race, in the good of his friend, Keshava, addressed the wielder of gandiva, saying, Take down thy gandiva as also the two inexhaustible quivers.
Mbh.9.60.4352 Then, with a little pride, that slayer of foes, the divine Keshava, embracing king Yudhishthira, said unto him, By good luck, thou hast won the victory, O son of Kunti!
Mbh.9.60.4375 They despatched Keshava of Yadu's race to Hastinapura.
Mbh.9.61.4418 That scorcher of foes and chief of Yadu's race, the lord Keshava, having mounted the car, proceeded with great haste to the city of the Kurus.
Mbh.9.61.4460 Hearing these words of Vasudeva, Gandhari said, It is even so, O Keshava, as thou sayest!
Mbh.9.61.4465 The mighty-armed lord Keshava then comforted the grief-stricken princess with words that were fraught with reasons drawn from visible instances.
Mbh.9.61.4466 Having comforted Gandhari and Dhritarashtra, Keshava of Madhu's race came to know by intuition the evil that was meditated by Drona's son.
Mbh.9.61.4467 Rising up in haste after worshipping the feet of Vyasa bending his head, Keshava, O monarch, addressed Dhritarashtra, saying, I take my leave, O foremost one of Kuru's race!
Mbh.9.61.4472 Hearing these words, both Gandhari and Dhritarashtra said unto Keshava that slayer of Keshi, these words: Go, quickly, O mighty-armed one, protect the Pandavas!
Mbh.9.61.4474 Then Keshava of unfading glory proceeded with Daruka.
Mbh.10.8.652 It was owing to the absence of the Parthas and the intelligent Keshava as also of Satyaki, that Drona's son could accomplish it.
Mbh.10.12.871 Having failed, O Keshava, in obtaining my almost unattainable wish, I am about to leave thee, O Govinda!
Mbh.10.13.886 Indeed, that enemy of snakes perched on the standard-top of Keshava who is Truth embodied.
Mbh.10.14.909 Thus addressed by Keshava, Arjuna, that slayer of hostile heroes, quickly alighted from the car, taking with him his bow with shaft fixed on the string.
Mbh.10.16.984 Unto Govinda, that foremost one of the Satvata race, while he was saying these words, Drona's son, filled with wrath, replied, saying, This, O Keshava, that thou sayest from thy partiality for the Pandavas, shall not happen.
Mbh.10.16.1009 Approaching the cheerless princess stricken with sorrow and grief, the Pandavas with Keshava, sat round her.
Mbh.11.14.551 SECTION Vaishampayana said, Commanded by Dhritarashtra, those bulls of Kurus race, the Pandava brothers, accompanied by Keshava, then proceeded to see Gandhari.
Mbh.11.16.678 Beholding that dreadful field of battle resounding on every direction with the cries of those grief-stricken ladies, the daughter of Subala, acquainted with every duty, addressed the lotus-eyed Keshava, that foremost of all men.
Mbh.11.16.713 The faces of those beautiful ladies, O Keshava, though pale, look resplendent still, like an assemblage of red lotuses!
Mbh.11.16.731 What, O Keshava, can be a sadder spectacle for me to behold than that presented by those ladies of fair forms who have assumed such an aspect?
Mbh.11.16.732 Without doubt, I must have perpetrated great sins in my former lives, since I am beholding, O Keshava, my sons and grandsons and brothers all slain by foes.
Mbh.11.17.755 That mighty-armed one who had in battle assembled together eleven akshauhinis of troops, O Keshava, hath, in consequence of his own evil policy, been now slain.
Mbh.11.20.825 SECTION Gandhari said, He whose might and courage were regarded, O Keshava, as a one and half times superior to those of his sire and thee, he who resembled a fierce and proud lion, he who, without a follower, alone pierced the impenetrable array of my son, he who proved to be the death of many, alas, he now sleepeth there, having himself succumbed to death!
Mbh.11.23.926 Having scorched his foes with the fire of his weapons in battle, that valiant warrior, that Sun among men, O Keshava, hath set like the real Sun at evening.
Mbh.11.23.949 The four Vedas, and all kinds of weapons, O Keshava, did not abandon that hero even as these do not abandon the Lord Prajapati himself.
Mbh.11.23.954 Many brahmacaris, with matted locks on their head, are attending upon the body of Drona that is cased in armour rent through and through, O Keshava, with the shafts of Dhrishtadyumna.
Mbh.11.24.972 Afflicted with grief on account of the slaughter of their lords, those ladies, indulging in copious lamentations, are falling down on the earth with their faces towards the ground, and slowly approaching thee, O Keshava!
Mbh.11.25.1027 Behold, O Keshava, the two brothers of Avanti, Vinda and Anuvinda, lying there on the field, like two blossoming shala trees in the spring overthrown by the tempest.
Mbh.11.25.1040 Filled with wrath and with sorrow at the death of her sons, Gandhari, with agitated heart, ascribed every fault to Keshava.
Mbh.16.1.35 Having said so they then proceeded to see Keshava.
Mbh.16.2.82 The messengers forthwith proclaimed at the command of Keshava that the Vrishnis should make a journey to the sea-coast for bathing in the sacred waters of the ocean
Mbh.16.3.105 Hearing these words of his, Keshava, that slayer of hostile heroes, giving way to wrath, cast an angry glance at Kritavarma.
Mbh.16.3.107 Hearing the narrative, Satyabhama, giving way to wrath and tears, approached Keshava and sitting on his lap enhanced his anger for Kritavarma.
Mbh.16.3.110 Having said these words, Satyaki rushed at Kritavarma and severed his head with a sword in the very sight of Keshava.
Mbh.16.3.133 Knowing that the hour of destruction had come, the mighty-armed Keshava stood there, eyeing everything.
Mbh.16.4.141 SECTION Vaishampayana said: Then Daruka and Keshava and Vabhru left that spot, following in the wake of Rama for discovering his retreat.
Mbh.16.4.146 After Daruka had gone away, Keshava, seeing Vabhru waiting on him, told him these words: Do thou go quickly for protecting the ladies.
Mbh.16.4.148 Thus commanded by Keshava, Vabhru, still helpless with wine but cheerless at the slaughter of his kinsmen, departed.
Mbh.16.4.149 He had rested for a while by the side of Keshava, but as soon as he had proceeded to a distance, the iron-bolt, attaching itself to a mallet in the hands of a hunter, suddenly sprang of itself upon that solitary survivor of the Yadava race and slew him, who also had been included in the curse of the Brahmanas.
Mbh.16.4.150 Beholding Vabhru slain, Keshava of great energy addressed his elder brother and said, Do thou, O Rama wait for me here till I place the ladies under the care of kinsmen.
Mbh.16.4.159 Hearing that loud sound of wailing uttered by the weeping ladies, Keshava retraced his foot-steps and said unto them, Arjuna will come here.
Mbh.16.4.161 Proceeding then to the forest, Keshava beheld Rama sitting in a solitary spot thereof.
Mbh.16.4.177 The hunter, mistaking Keshava, who was stretched on the earth in high Yoga, for a deer, pierced him at the heel with a shaft and quickly came to that spot for capturing his prey.
Mbh.16.4.179 Regarding himself an offender, and filled with fear, he touched the feet of Keshava.
Mbh.16.5.189 Then Arjuna, the dear friend of Keshava, bidding them farewell, set out for seeing his maternal uncle.
Mbh.16.7.263 Arjuna passed that night in the mansion of Keshava.
Mbh.18.6.443 One that proclaims the merits of this history called the Mahabharata, of the Earth, of the cow, of Sarasvati the goddess of speech, of Brahmanas, and of Keshava, has never to languish.
