Mbh.1.65.3301 | And it is also known that this Pradha of great fortune, through the celestial Rishi Kasyapa, her husband, brought forth the sacred of the Apsaras, Alamvusha, Misrakesi, Vidyutparna, Tilottama, Aruna, Rakshita, Rambha, Manorama, Kesini, Suvahu, Surata, Suraja, and Supria were the daughters, and Ativahu and the celebrated Haha and Huhu, and Tumvuru were the sons, the best of Gandharvas, of Pradha and Amrita. |
Mbh.1.94.5178 | And he begat six sons, Riksha was born of the womb of Dhumini, Dushmanta and Parameshthin, of Nili, and Jahnu, Jala and Rupina were born in that of Kesini. |
Mbh.3.74.3682 | SECTION LXXIV Damayanti said, O Kesini, go thou and learn who that charioteer is that sitteth by the car, unsightly and possessed of short arms. |
Mbh.3.74.3695 | Kesini then asked, Whence doth the third among you come, and whose son is he? |
Mbh.3.74.3701 | At this Kesini rejoined, Perhaps Varshneya knoweth where king Nala hath gone, and O Vahuka, he may also have spoken to thee about his master' |
Mbh.3.74.3706 | Thus addressed, Kesini returned, The Brahmana that had before this gone to Ayodhya, had repeatedly said these words suitable to female lips, O beloved gambler, where hast thou gone cutting off half my piece of cloth, and deserting me, his dear and devoted wife asleep in the woods? |
Mbh.3.74.3712 | Vrihadaswa continued, O son of the Kuru race, hearing these words of Kesini, Nala's heart was pained, and his eyes filled with tears. |
Mbh.3.74.3719 | And thereupon Kesini went back to Damayanti, and acquainted her with everything about that conversation as well as that outburst of grief |
Mbh.3.75.3720 | SECTION LXXV Vrihadaswa said, Hearing everything, Damayanti became oppressed with grief, and suspecting the person to be Nala, said unto Kesini, O Kesini, go thou again, and examine Vahuka, and staying in silence at his side mark thou his conduct. |
Mbh.3.75.3722 | And, O Kesini, whenever he may ask water or fire, with the view of offering him obstruction, thou shalt be in no hurry to give it. |
Mbh.3.75.3725 | And thus addressed by Damayanti, Kesini went away, and having marked the conduct of that person versed in horse-lore, she came back. |
Mbh.3.75.3727 | And Kesini said, O Damayanti, a person of such control over the elements I have never before seen or heard of. |
Mbh.3.75.3743 | And from these indications suspecting that Vahuka was her husband, Damayanti once more weepingly addressed Kesini in soft words, saying, O beauteous one, go thou once more, and bring from the kitchen without Vahuka's knowledge some meat that hath been boiled and dressed by him' |
Mbh.3.75.3744 | Thus commanded, Kesini, ever bent on doing what was agreeable to Damayanti, went to Vahuka, and taking some hot meat came back without loss of time. |
Mbh.3.75.3745 | And Kesini gave that meat, O son of the Kuru race, unto Damayanti. |
Mbh.3.75.3748 | And, O Bharata, overwhelmed with grief, and washing her face, she sent her two children with Kesini. |
Mbh.3.75.3751 | And after having repeatedly betrayed his agitation, Naishadha suddenly left children, and addressed Kesini, saying, O fair damsel, these twins are very like my own children. |
Mbh.3.76.3756 | SECTION LXXVI Vrihadaswa said, Beholding the agitation of the virtuous and wise Nala, Kesini returned unto Damayanti and related everything unto her. |
Mbh.3.76.3757 | And thereupon Damayanti with a sorrowful heart and eager to behold Nala, again despatched Kesini to her mother, asking her to say on her behalf: Suspecting Vahuka to be Nala, I have tried him in various ways. |
Mbh.3.230.11622 | And Gauri, Vidya, Gandhari, Kesini, and the lady called Mitra in company with Savitri, all proceeded in the train of Parvati, as also all the Vidyas presiding deities of all branches of knowledge that were created by the learned. |
Mbh.5.35.1687 | Once on a time, O king, there was a maiden of the name of Kesini, unrivalled for beauty; moved by the desire of obtaining a good husband, she resolved to choose her lord in Swayamvara. |
Mbh.5.35.1689 | Beholding that chief of the Daityas, Kesini addressed him, saying, Are Brahmanas superior, O Virochana, or are the sons of Diti superior? |
Mbh.5.35.1691 | Virochana said, Sprung from Prajapati himself, we, O Kesini, are the best and at the top of all creatures, and this world is ours without doubt. |
Mbh.5.35.1693 | Kesini said, We will, O Virochana, stay here in this very pavilion. |
Mbh.5.35.1697 | Vidura continued, When the night had passed away and the solar disc had risen, Sudhanwan, O best of kings, came to that place where, O master, Virochana was waiting with Kesini. |
Mbh.5.35.1698 | And Sudhanwan saw there both Prahlada's son and Kesini. |
Mbh.5.35.1699 | And beholding the Brahmana arrived, Kesini, O bull of the Bharata race, rising up from hers, offered him a seat, water to wash his feet, and Arghya. |
Mbh.5.35.1748 | He shall, however, have to wash my feet in the presence of the maiden Kesini' |
