Mbh.12.23.981 | There were two brothers, viz, Sankha and Likhita, of rigid vows. |
Mbh.12.23.984 | Once on a time Likhita came to the residence of his brother Sankha. |
Mbh.12.23.986 | Arrived at the asylum of his brother, Likhita plucked many ripe fruits. |
Mbh.12.23.987 | Obtaining them the regenerate Likhita began to eat them without any qualms of conscience. |
Mbh.12.23.990 | Approaching his elder brother and saluting him, Likhita smilingly replied, saying, I have taken them even from this retreat' |
Mbh.12.23.995 | Thus addressed, the highly blessed Likhita of rigid vows, at the command of his brother, proceeded to king Sudyumna. |
Mbh.12.23.996 | Hearing from his gate-keepers that Likhita had come, king Sudyumna, with his counsellors, advanced for receiving the sage. |
Mbh.12.23.1007 | Vyasa continued, Thus honoured by the high-souled king, the regenerate sage Likhita, however, did not solicit him for any other favour. |
Mbh.12.23.1008 | Then that ruler of the earth caused the two hands of the high-souled Likhita to be cut off, whereupon the latter, bearing the punishment, went away. |
Mbh.12.23.1009 | Returning to his brother Sankha, Likhita, in great affection, said, It behoveth thee now to pardon this wretch that hath been duly punished for what he did' |
Mbh.12.23.1014 | Hearing these words of Sankha, Likhita performed his ablutions in the sacred stream and set about for commencing the water-rite. |
Mbh.12.23.1020 | Likhita answered, O thou of great splendour, why didst thou not purify me at first, when, O best of regenerate ones, such was the energy of thy penances' |
Mbh.12.114.6508 | That king in whose city justice is administered properly with the result of such administration leading to the well known results of fining the plaintiff or the defendant if his case is untrue, and in which criminal laws are administered even after the manner of Sankha and Likhita, succeeds in earning the merit that attaches to sovereignty. |
Mbh.12.131.7440 | Others, viz, they that are in favour of the conduct pursued by Sankha, towards Likhita, do not hold this opinion. |
Mbh.13.66.6269 | Apastamva of great intelligence, and Kankha and Likhita, and the great Rishi Gautama have all ascended to heaven by having made gifts of sesame seeds. |
Mbh.13.137.11355 | Sudyumna, the son of Manu, by causing the proper punishment to be inflicted upon the high-souled Likhita, attained to the most blessed regions. |
