Mbh.1.1.177 | When I heard that Drona, Kritavarma, Kripa, Karna, the son of Drona, and the valiant king of Madra Salya suffered Saindhava to be slain, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success. |
Mbh.1.63.3163 | And Satyaki and Kritavarma, conversant with the use of weapons possessed of mighty energy, well-versed in all branches of knowledge, and obedient to Narayana in everything and competent in the use of weapons, had their births from Satyaka and Hridika. |
Mbh.8.2.48 | What also, O Sanjaya, became the colour of the faces of Duryodhana, and Karna, and Kritavarma the chief of the Bhojas and Shalya, the ruler of the Madras, and of my remaining sons, and of the others, when the Kuru divisions fled away from the field? |
Mbh.8.7.206 | That dweller of the Anarta country, that son of Hridika, that mighty car-warrior, that foremost one among the Satwatas, that chief of the Bhojas, Kritavarma, accomplished in arms, is on the field, desirous of battle. |
Mbh.8.9.332 | What did that mighty car-warrior among the Satwatas, that great bowman, Kritavarma the son of Hridika, say when he saw Vaikartana slain? |
Mbh.8.11.426 | In the left foot, O monarch, was stationed Kritavarma accompanied by the Narayana troops, and those invincible warriors, the gopalas. |
Mbh.8.13.511 | The invincible Shikhandi closed with Kritavarma. |
Mbh.8.26.1128 | Then the mighty car-warrior Kritavarma filled with rage, pierced his foe with sixty winged arrows. |
Mbh.8.26.1135 | Filled with rage but torn and mangled with shafts, Kritavarma vomited blood through his limbs like a jar disgorging the water with which it is filled. |
Mbh.8.26.1137 | The puissant Kritavarma then, taking up another bow with a string and an arrow fixed thereon, struck Shikhandi in his shoulder-joint. |
Mbh.8.26.1140 | Then Kritavarma, O king, in that encounter, pierced the son of Prishata with seventy shafts all of which were equipped with wings of gold and whetted on stone. |
Mbh.8.29.1279 | At that time Kritavarma, quickly advancing, came upon thy royal son then sunk in an ocean of calamity. |
Mbh.8.29.1280 | Bhima then, taking up a mace adorned with gold and flaxen chords, rushed impetuously towards Kritavarma in that battle. |
Mbh.8.46.2515 | Sharadvata's son Kripa, O king, and the Magadhas endued with great activity, and Kritavarma of Satwata race, took up their position in the right wing. |
Mbh.8.47.2622 | Kripa and Kritavarma, and Shakuni the son of Subala, those heroes difficult of defeat in battle, accompanied by troops that were all cheerful, themselves filled with rage, and capable of smiting down thick ranks of cars, fought with the Koshalas, the Kasis, the Matsyas, the Karusas, the Kaikayas, and the Surasenas, all of whom were possessed of great courage. |
Mbh.8.51.2935 | Beholding the son of Subala, and Kritavarma, and Drona's son, and Adhiratha's son, and Kripa, engaged with the Pandavas, the Kauravas rallied and came back to the fight. |
Mbh.8.54.3049 | SECTION Sanjaya said, Then Kritavarma, and Kripa, and the son of Drona and the Suta's son, O sire, and Uluka, and Subala's son Shakuni, and the king himself, with his uterine brothers, beholding the Kuru army afflicted with the fear of Pandu's son, unable to stand together, like a vessel wrecked on the ocean, endeavoured to rescue it with great speed. |
Mbh.8.54.3060 | The great car-warrior Kritavarma, however, rushing impetuously received Dhrishtadyumna as the latter proceeded against the son of Sharadvata Kripa. |
Mbh.8.54.3079 | Encompassing the mighty Dhrishtadyumna, Kritavarma cheerfully addressed him saying, Wait, Wait |
Mbh.8.54.3081 | Filled with rage, Dhrishtadyumna, in that battle, struck the son of Hridika Kritavarma, the ruler of Bhoja with nine arrows in the chest, and succeeded in afflicting him greatly. |
Mbh.8.54.3082 | Then Kritavarma, thus deeply struck by Prishata's son in that encounter, covered his assailant, his steeds, and his car with his shafts. |
Mbh.8.54.3085 | The commander of the Pandava forces, viz, the son of Prishata, then, filled with rage, approached Kritavarma and poured upon him a fierce shower of arrows. |
Mbh.8.54.3087 | Beholding his irresistible shower of arrows checked in that battle by Kritavarma, the son of Prishata, approaching his antagonist, began to resist him. |
Mbh.8.61.3561 | Sharadvata's son Kripa proceeded against the mighty bowman Yudhamanyu, while Kritavarma of great strength proceeded against Uttamauja. |
Mbh.8.61.3610 | Then Kritavarma, O king, in that encounter, suddenly pierced Uttamauja in the chest, at which the latter sat down on the terrace of his car. |
Mbh.8.73.4403 | The remnant of that grand master now consists of only five great car-warriors, viz, Ashvatthama, Kritavarma, Karna, Shalya, and Kripa. |
Mbh.8.73.4408 | If in consequence of thy regard for that foremost of men, viz, thy preceptor Drona, thou cherishest compassion for Ashvatthama, if, again, thou hast any kindness for Kripa for the sake of respect that is due to a preceptor, if, approaching Kritavarma, thou dost not despatch him today to Yama's abode in consequence of the honour that is due to one's kinsmen by the mother's side, if, O lotus-eyed one, approaching thy mother's brother, viz, Shalya, the ruler of the Madras, thou dost not from compassion slay him, I ask thee, do thou, with keen shafts, O foremost of men slay Karna today with speed, that vile wretch of sinful heart who cherisheth the fiercest hate for the son of Pandu. |
Mbh.8.75.4554 | Conversant with all modes of warfare, Madri's son Nakula, that bull among car-warriors, assailed Kritavarma. |
Mbh.8.78.4718 | Or, what did Karna, that foremost of victors, or the warriors of my army in that battle, or Kripa, or Kritavarma, or Drona's son Duhshasana, say? |
Mbh.8.78.4777 | At that time, the king Duryodhana, and Duhshasana, and Kripa, the son of Sharadvata, and Ashvatthama, and Kritavarma, and Shakuni also of great might, slaughtered the Pandava warriors in hundreds and thousands. |
Mbh.8.79.4796 | There Kripa, and Kritavarma, and Drona's son, that mighty car-warrior, are protecting king Duryodhana, themselves protected by the Suta's son. |
Mbh.8.79.4872 | Approaching then thy son, that foremost one among the Kurus, and saluted respectfully by him, Karna said unto that prince as also unto those two mighty-armed warriors, Kripa and the Bhoja chief Kritavarma, and the ruler of the Gandharvas with his son, and the preceptors and his own younger brothers, and all the foot-soldiers and horsemen and elephant-riders, these words, Rush towards Acyuta and Arjuna and close up their path all around, and cause them to be tired with exertion, so that, ye lords of the earth, I may easily slay those two after ye all will have mangled them deeply |
Mbh.8.79.4896 | Destroying next the handsome steeds of Kritavarma, he cut off the latter's standard as well. |
Mbh.8.82.5030 | Then Kripa, and the Bhoja chief Kritavarma, and thy son, and Karna himself, assailed Satyaki in return with keen shafts. |
Mbh.8.83.5070 | Addressing Karna and Suyodhana and Kripa and Drona's son and Kritavarma, he said, Today I shall slay the wretched Duhshasana. |
Mbh.8.95.6078 | Then Kritavarma, O Bharata, surrounded by thy unslaughtered remnant of thy Narayana troops of thy army, quickly proceeded towards the encampment. |
Mbh.9.1.19 | After Duryodhana's slaughter, the three car-warriors of the Kuru side that were still unslain Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma, filled with rage, O monarch, slaughtered the Pancala troops in the night. |
Mbh.9.1.48 | On the side of the Pandavas seven are alive, they are the five Pandava brothers, and Vasudeva, and Satyaki and amongst the Dhartarashtras three are so, Kripa, Kritavarma, and Drona's son, that foremost of victors. |
Mbh.9.2.143 | Tell me how the five Pandavas and the two Satwatas Krishna and Satyaki, and Kripa and Kritavarma and Drona's son, have escaped with life. |
Mbh.9.6.372 | Indeed, Shalya and Chitrasena and the mighty car-warrior Shakuni and Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, and Sushena and Arishtasena and Dhritasena of great energy and Jayatsena and all these kings passed the night there. |
Mbh.9.8.468 | Then all thy warriors, with Kripa and Kritavarma and Drona's son and Shalya and Subala's son and the other kings that were yet alive, met thy son, and arrived at this understanding, that none of them would individually and alone fight with the Pandavas. |
Mbh.9.8.488 | On the left was Kritavarma, surrounded by the Trigartas. |
Mbh.9.8.496 | Arjuna, that slayer of large bands of foes, rushed with great speed against that great bowman Kritavarma and the Samsaptakas. |
Mbh.9.11.674 | Beholding Shalya struck by the Parthas on every side, both Kritavarma and Kripa rushed in wrath towards that spot. |
Mbh.9.11.676 | Piercing Bhimasena with three arrows, Kritavarma, shooting a dense shower of shafts, checked that warrior who then seemed to be the embodiment of wrath. |
Mbh.9.11.689 | Excited with wrath, that mighty hero crushed the steeds and the car of Kritavarma. |
Mbh.9.11.690 | Jumping down from his vehicle, Kritavarma then fled away. |
Mbh.9.12.738 | Kripa, and Kritavarma, and the mighty son of Subala, placing the ruler of the Madras before them, fought with king Yudhishthira the just. |
Mbh.9.15.868 | Shikhandi, supported by the Prabhadrakas, fought with two Kuru bowmen, Kritavarma and the great car-warrior Kripa. |
Mbh.9.16.907 | Filled with rage at this, Dhananjaya covered Kripa and his followers, as also Kritavarma, with showers of shafts. |
Mbh.9.16.960 | Then the mighty car-warrior Ashvatthama, and Kripa and Kritavarma, followed that car, desirous of rescuing thy son. |
Mbh.9.17.1096 | Upon the slaughter of the king of the Madras and upon Kritavarma having been made carless, the entire army of Duryodhana once more turned its face from the battle. |
Mbh.9.17.1106 | The mighty car-warrior Yudhishthira then quickly slew the four steeds of Kritavarma with four shafts, and pierced the son of Gotama with six broad-headed arrows of great force. |
Mbh.9.21.1280 | Beholding the army broken, the mighty car-warrior Kritavarma, possessed by heroism and great strength, resisted the hostile force in that battle. |
Mbh.9.21.1295 | The long-armed Satyaki, enraged at this, like an elephant struck with a lance, pierced Kritavarma with eight foremost of arrows. |
Mbh.9.21.1296 | Then Kritavarma pierced Satyaki with three arrows whetted on stone and sped from his bow drawn to its fullest and then cut off his bow with another arrow. |
Mbh.9.21.1298 | Having taken up that foremost of bows and stringed it, that foremost of all bowmen, that Atiratha of mighty energy and great intelligence and great strength, unable to endure the cutting of his bow by Kritavarma, and filled with fury, quickly rushed against the latter. |
Mbh.9.21.1299 | With ten keen shafts that bull of Sini's race then struck the driver, the steeds, and the standard of Kritavarma. |
Mbh.9.21.1300 | At this, O king, the great bowman and mighty car-warrior Kritavarma, beholding his gold-decked car made driverless and steedless, became filled with rage. |
Mbh.9.21.1302 | Satyaki, however, of the Satwata race, striking that lance with many keen arrows, cut it off into fragments and caused it to fall down, stupefying Kritavarma of Madhu's race with his activity and prowess. |
Mbh.9.21.1303 | With another broad-headed arrow he then struck Kritavarma in the chest. |
Mbh.9.21.1304 | Made steedless and driverless in that battle by Yuyudhana, skilled in weapons, Kritavarma came down on the Earth. |
Mbh.9.21.1305 | The heroic Kritavarma having been deprived of his car by Satyaki in that single combat, all the Kaurava troops became filled with great fear. |
Mbh.9.21.1306 | A great sorrow afflicted the heart of thy sons, when Kritavarma was thus made steedless and driverless and carless. |
Mbh.9.21.1308 | Taking Kritavarma upon his car in the very sight of all the bowmen, the mighty-armed Kripa bore him away from the press of battle. |
Mbh.9.21.1309 | After Kritavarma had been made carless and the grandson of Sini had become powerful on the field, the whole army of Duryodhana once more turned away from the fight. |
Mbh.9.21.1356 | Similarly Kritavarma, O king, fighting with the grandson of Sini, that scorcher of foes, looked resplendent, like Shakra battling with the Asura Vala. |
Mbh.9.21.1388 | Then king Yudhishthira, filled with great wrath and becoming desirous of vanquishing the Dhartarashtras and their king in that battle, pierced the son of Saradwat with three arrows winged with gold and whetted on stone, and next slew with four others the four steeds of Kritavarma. |
Mbh.9.23.1602 | Ashvatthama and Kripa, and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, asked all the Kshatriyas there, saying, Where has Duryodhana gone' |
Mbh.9.23.1612 | Hearing these words of theirs, the mighty Ashvatthama, piercing through that irresistible force of the Pancala king, proceeded with Kripa and Kritavarma to the spot where Subala's son was. |
Mbh.9.23.1630 | Meanwhile, Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, not seeing that chastiser of foes, Duryodhana, amid the car-division, sought for thy royal son, Abandoning the prince of the Pancalas, they proceeded to the spot where Subala's son was anxious to have a sight of the king during that terrible carnage |
Mbh.9.25.1676 | Those three, Kripa and Kritavarma and the mighty car-warrior Ashvatthama, have left Duryodhana's side and taken up their position elsewhere! |
Mbh.9.25.1695 | remain also Ashvatthama and Kripa and the ruler of the Trigartas and Uluka and Kritavarma of the Satwata race. |
Mbh.9.27.1852 | In Duryodhana's army then, O monarch, which had numbered many hundred thousands of warriors, not another great car-warrior was seen to be alive, save the heroic son of Drona, and Kritavarma, and Kripa the son of Gotama, O monarch, and that lord of the earth, thy son! |
Mbh.9.27.1877 | They were Kripa, the son of Saradwat, and the heroic Ashvatthama, that foremost of car-warriors, and Kritavarma of Bhoja's race. |
Mbh.9.28.1951 | SECTION Dhritarashtra said, After all the Kaurava troops had been slain by the sons of Pandu on the field of battle, what did those survivors of my army, Kritavarma and Kripa and the valiant son of Drona do? |
Mbh.9.28.1960 | After the Parthas had retired to their camp, Kripa and Drona's son and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, slowly proceeded towards that lake. |
Mbh.9.28.2023 | Hearing the noise made by the army of Yudhishthira, those great car-warriors, Kritavarma and Kripa and the son of Drona, said these words unto the Kuru king, Filled with joy and longing for victory, the Pandavas are coming hither! |
Mbh.9.33.2380 | The Bhoja chief Kritavarma, however, adopted the side of Duryodhana. |
Mbh.9.52.3783 | They are Kripa and Kritavarma and the valiant son of Drona! |
Mbh.9.62.4489 | Breathing heavily, he then addressed me, saying, Alas, I who had Santanu's son Bhishma for my protector, and Karna, that foremost of all wielders of weapons and Gotama's son, Shakuni, and Drona, that first of all wielders of arms, and Ashvatthama, and the heroic Shalya, and Kritavarma, alas, even I have come to this plight! |
Mbh.9.62.4526 | The highly blessed Ashvatthama, and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, and Saradwat's son Kripa, should be told these words of mine, You should never repose any confidence upon the Pandavas, those violators of rules, who have perpetrated many unrighteous acts' |
Mbh.9.63.4539 | SECTION Sanjaya said, Having heard of Duryodhana's fall from the messengers, those mighty car-warriors, the unslain remnant of the Kaurava army, exceedingly wounded with keen shafts, and maces and lances and darts, those three, Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, came quickly on their fleet steeds to the field of battle. |
Mbh.10.1.25 | What, however, did Kritavarma and Kripa and Drona's son do after my son Duryodhana had been unfairly stuck down |
Mbh.10.1.39 | At that hour, filled with grief and sorrow, Kritavarma and Kripa and Drona's son all sat down together. |
Mbh.10.1.43 | The two great car-warriors, Kripa and Kritavarma, succumbed to sleep. |
Mbh.10.4.207 | I shall accompany thee, as also Kritavarma of the Satvata race, clad in mail and riding on our cars, while thou shalt proceed against the foe. |
Mbh.10.4.215 | Who is there that would, even if he be the chief of the gods himself, fight Drona's son, when the latter proceeds, accompanied by Kripa and protected by Kritavarma? |
Mbh.10.4.223 | Myself and Kritavarma, both armed with bows and capable of scorching our enemies, will, clad in mail, follow thee, O best of men, while thou shalt proceed on thy car against the enemy. |
Mbh.10.4.227 | United with myself in battle and protected by Kritavarma, thou art incapable of being withstood by the wielder of the thunderbolt himself. |
Mbh.10.4.228 | Neither I, O son, nor Kritavarma, will ever retreat from battle without having vanquished the Pandavas! |
Mbh.10.5.309 | Then Kripa, O king, and Kritavarma of the Satvata race, both followed him. |
Mbh.10.6.313 | SECTION Dhritarashtra said, Seeing Drona's son stop at the gate of the encampment, what, O Sanjaya, did those two mighty car-warriors, Kripa and Kritavarma, do? |
Mbh.10.6.315 | Sanjaya said, Inviting Kritavarma, as also the mighty car-warrior Kripa, Drona's son, filled with rage, approached the gate of the camp. |
Mbh.10.8.459 | Sanjaya said, When the high-souled son of Drona proceeded towards the camp, Kripa and Kritavarma waited at the gate. |
Mbh.10.8.586 | Those men that sought to fly away from their camp for saving their lives, were slain by Kritavarma and Kripa at the gate. |
Mbh.10.8.590 | None amongst those that escaped from the camp was let off by those two wicked persons, Kripa and Kritavarma. |
Mbh.10.8.655 | Having caused that vast slaughter of the Pandava forces, those three great car-warriors Ashvatthama, Kripa and Kritavarma, meeting together, exclaimed, Good luck |
Mbh.10.9.670 | Beholding him thus lying on the earth, bathed in his own blood, the three heroes who were the sole survivors of his army, Ashvatthama and Kripa and Kritavarma, became afflicted with grief and sat surrounding him. |
Mbh.10.9.709 | Fie on Kritavarma, on myself, as also on mighty car-warrior Kripa, since we have not yet gone to heaven with thy royal self before us! |
Mbh.10.9.724 | The seven on their side are the five brothers and Vasudeva and Satyaki; on our side, we three are myself and Kripa and Kritavarma! |
Mbh.10.10.751 | During the night, O king, thy camp has been exterminated by the cruel Kritavarma, and Kripa, the son of Gautama, and the sinful Ashvatthama! |
Mbh.10.10.755 | I have, O thou of virtuous soul, escaped with difficulty from Kritavarma at a time when he was heedless |
Mbh.11.11.458 | SECTION Vaishampayana said, Dhritarashtra had not proceeded for more than two miles when he met with those three great car-warriors, Sharadvatas son Kripa, Dronas son Ashvatthama, and Kritavarma. |
Mbh.11.11.484 | Having said these words unto the king, and circumambulating him, Kripa and Kritavarma and Dronas son, O Bharata, without being able to withdraw their eyes from king Dhritarashtra possessed of great wisdom, urged their steeds towards the banks of the Ganga. |
Mbh.11.25.1030 | The Pandavas, O Krishna, with thyself, are surely unslayable, since they and thou have escaped from Drona, from Bhishma, from Karna the son of Vikartana, from Kripa, from Duryodhana, from the son of Drona, from the mighty car-warrior Jayadratha, from Somadatta, from Vikarna, and from the brave Kritavarma. |
Mbh.16.3.100 | In the very sight of Krishna, Rama began to drink, with Kritavarma, Yuyudhana and Gada; and Vabhru also did the same. |
Mbh.16.3.101 | Then Yuyudhana, inebriated with wine, derisively laughing at and insulting Kritavarma in the midst of that assembly, said, What Kshatriya is there who, armed with weapons, will slay men locked in the embraces of sleep and, therefore, already dead? |
Mbh.16.3.104 | Highly incensed at this, Kritavarma, emphasising his disregard for Satyaki, by pointing to him with his left hand, said these words: Professing thyself to be a hero, how couldst thou so cruelly slay the armless Bhurishrava who, on the field of battle, gave up all hostile intentions and sat in praya? |
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.16.3.106 | Then Satyaki informed the slayer of Madhu as to how Kritavarma had behaved towards Satrajit for taking away from him the celebrated gem Syamantaka. |
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.16.7.338 | He established the son of Kritavarma at the city called Marttikavat, with the remnant of the women of the Bhoja king. |
Mbh.18.5.242 | Hridikas son Kritavarma entered the Maruts. |
