Mbh.3.88.4837 There also is Dwaravati, producing great merit, where dwelleth the slayer of Madhu, who is the Ancient one in embodied form, and eternal virtue.
Mbh.3.88.4842 That slayer of Madhu, Hari of inconceivable soul, dwelleth there
Mbh.3.90.4893 In that spot are the celestial Rishis, the Siddhas, and, indeed, all the Rishis, where dwelleth the slayer of Madhu, that primeval Deity and mighty Yogin!

Mbh.3.200.10315 And, O god, the hills and mountains constitute thy thigh and the sky thy hips, O slayer of Madhu!
Mbh.3.201.10369 And Dhundhu is the son of Madhu and Kaitabha, and is fierce and terrible and possessed of great prowess.
Mbh.3.202.10399 He was beheld some time after by two Danavas of great prowess named Madhu and Kaitabha and beholding Hari in that posture and the Grandsire with eyes like lotus-leaves seated on that lotus, both Madhu and Kaitabha wandered much and they began to terrify and alarm Brahma of immeasurable prowess, and the illustrious Brahma alarmed by their continued exertions trembled on his seat, and at his trembling the stalk of the lotus on which he was seated began to tremble and when the lotus-stalk trembled, Kesava awoke.
Mbh.3.202.10413 Hearing these words of the Deity, both Madhu and Kaitabha said, We have never before spoken an untruth; no, not even in jest; what shall we say of other occasions!
Mbh.3.202.10427 And there, O king, the illustrious Deity cut off the heads of Madhu and Kaitabha with his keenedged discus
Mbh.3.203.10428 SECTION CCIII Markandeya said, The illustrious Dhundhu, O king, was the son of Madhu and Kaitabha, and possessed of great energy and prowess, he underwent ascetic penances of great austerity and he stood erect on one leg and reduced his body to a mass of only veins and arteries, and Brahma, gratified with him, gave him a boon.
Mbh.3.203.10436 And endued with fierce energy, Dhundhu, the son of Madhu and Kaitabha, lay in his subterranean cave underneath the sands in the observance of fierce ascetic and severe austerities with the object of destroying the triple world, and while the Asura lay breathing near the asylum of Utanka that Rishi possessed of the splendour of fire, king Kualaswa with his troops, accompanied by the Brahmana Utanka, as also by all his sons set out for that region, O bull of the Bharata race!
Mbh.3.203.10458 It was thus, O best of king, that that great Daitya of the name Dhundhu, the son of Madhu and Kaitabha was slain by Kuvalaswa and it was for this also that king came to be called by the name of Dhundhumara.
Mbh.3.233.11821 SECTION CCXXXIII Vaisampayana said, Then Kesava, the slayer of Madhu, also called Janardana, having conversed on various agreeable themes with the illustrious sons of Pandu and with those Brahmanas that were headed by Markandeya and having bid them farewell, mounted his car and called for Satyabhama.
Mbh.5.3.66 As upon a single large tree there may be two boughs one of which beareth fruits while the other doth not, so from the self-same line of progenitors may spring persons that are imbecile as well as those that are endowed with great strength O thou bearing the sign of a plough on thy banner, I do not, in sooth, condemn the words thou hast spoken, but I simply condemn those, O son of Madhu, who are listening to thy words!
Mbh.5.7.166 And after Krishna and Valadeva, the descendants of Madhu, had both departed for Dwaraka with all the Vrishnis, the Andhakas and the Bhojas, by hundreds, the royal son of Dhritarashtra had, by sending secret emissaries, furnished himself with information of all the doings of the Pandavas.
Mbh.5.7.174 And having asked them as to the safety of their journey, and having fitly bestowed his greetings upon them, the slayer of Madhu questioned them as to the occasion of their visit.
Mbh.5.7.177 And, O descendant of Madhu, you also bear the same relationship to both of us.
Mbh.5.7.178 And today, O slayer of Madhu, I have been the first to come to you.
Mbh.5.55.3024 When the Parthas had been exiled to the woods, there came unto them the slayer of Madhu with a vast army in battle array and capable of crushing hostile kingdoms; and there also came unto them the Kekayas, and Dhrishtaketu, and Dhrishtadyumna of Pritha's race and numerous other kings in their train; and all those great car-warriors were assembled in a place not far from Indraprastha; and having assembled together they censured thee and all the Kurus.
Mbh.5.57.3175 Those that have Yudhishthira for their leader, the slayer of Madhu for their protector, the heroic Savyasachin and Vrikodara for their warriors, and Nakula, and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata, and Satyaki, and Drupada, and Dhrishtaketu with his son, and Uttamaujas, and the unconquerable Yudhamanyu of the Panchalas, and Sikhandin, and Kshatradeva, and Uttara, the son of Virata, and Kasayas, the Chedis, the Matsyas, the Srinjayas, Vabhru the son of Virata, the Panchalas, and the Prabhadrakas, for fighting for them, those, indeed, from whom Indra himself cannot, if they are unwilling, snatch this earth, those heroes, cool and steady, in fight, who can split the very mountains, alas, it is with them that are endued with every virtue and possessed of superhuman prowess that this wicked son of mine, O Sanjaya, desireth to fight, disregarding me even though I am crying myself hoarse'
Mbh.5.69.3478 Aided by my knowledge, O sire, I know the slayer of Madhu to be the union of the Gross, the subtle and the Cause; and that He is the Creator of all, but is Himself increate; and also that, endued with Divinity, it is He from whom everything springs and it is He unto whom all things return'
Mbh.5.69.3479 Dhritarashtra said, O son of Gavalgana, what is the nature of that Faith which thou hast in Janardana and in consequence of which thou knowest the slayer of Madhu to be the union of the Gross, the Subtle, and the Cause'
Mbh.5.70.3513 He is called Madhusudana because of his having slain the Asura Madhu, and also because of his being the substance of the twenty-four objects of knowledge.
Mbh.5.70.3527 Possessed of such attributes, ever devoted to righteousness, and endued with divinity, the slayer of Madhu, that mighty-armed one incapable of decay, will come hither for preventing the slaughter of the Kurus
Mbh.5.72.3551 Having the Kasis, the Panchalas, the Chedis, and the Matsyas, for my allies and with thee, O slayer of Madhu, for my protector, I prayed for only five villages, etc,
Mbh.5.72.3583 Thou hast, O slayer of Madhu, seen all this in me with thy own eyes.
Mbh.5.72.3624 It is true, O slayer of Madhu, that exterminating the foe by the very roots, may lead to good result in the shape of great prosperity, yet such an act is most cruel.
Mbh.5.72.3643 Whom also, besides thee, O slayer of Madhu, and foremost of men, shall we consult in this difficult affair?
Mbh.5.74.3718 SECTION LXXIV Bhima said, Speak thou, O slayer of Madhu, in such a strain that there may be peace with the Kurus.
Mbh.5.74.3728 Alas, by Duryodhana's wrath, O slayer of Madhu, the Bharatas will all be consumed, even like forests by fire at the end of the dewy seasons, and, O slayer of Madhu, well-known are those eighteen kings that annihilated their kinsmen, friends, and relatives.
Mbh.5.76.3786 It is only for the sake of compassion, O slayer of Madhu, that I am for displaying goodwill to the foe.
Mbh.5.78.3832 Doth not the evil-minded Duryodhana with his sons and kinsmen deserve destruction when, unable to bear the sight of Yudhishthira's prosperity and finding no other faultless expedient, that wretch, O slayer of Madhu, deprived us of our kingdom by the sinful expedient of deceitful dice?
Mbh.5.82.3900 And beholding Bhimasena declare for peace, that intelligent lady, overwhelmed with woe and with eyes bathed in tears, said, O slayer of Madhu, it is known to thee, O thou of mighty arms, by what deceitful means, O righteous one, the son of Dhritarashtra with his counsellors robbed the Pandavas, O Janardana.
Mbh.5.82.3908 When they are no longer amenable to this arts of conciliation, it is not proper, O slayer of Madhu, that thou shouldst show them mercy.
Mbh.5.82.3940 My five sons also that are endued with great energy, with Abhimanyu, O slayer of Madhu, at their head, will fight with the Kauravas.
Mbh.5.83.3978 Indeed, as Vasudeva set out, auspicious animals and birds, whirling by the right side, began to follow him, and cranes and peacocks and swans all followed the slayer of Madhu, uttering cries of good omens.
Mbh.5.83.3994 O glorious Krishna, salute her for me, the Kuru king Dhritarashtra also, and all those monarchs who are senior to us in age, and Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa, and king Vahlika, and Drona's son and Somadatta, and in fact, every one of the Bharata race, and also Vidura endued with great wisdom, that counsellor of the Kurus, of profound intellect and intimate acquaintance with morality, should all, O slayer of Madhu, be embraced by thee'
Mbh.5.83.4010 And having duly worshipped them, the slayer of Madhu again said, Where have ye been crowned with success?
Mbh.5.83.4014 Thus addressed, Jamadagni's son, the friend of Brahma, that lord of both gods and Asuras, approached Govinda the slayer of Madhu, embraced him, and said, The celestial Rishis of pious deeds, and Brahmanas of extensive acquaintance with the scriptures, and royal sages, O Dasarha, and venerable ascetic, these witnesses, O illustrious one, of the former feats of gods and Asuras, are desirous of beholding all the Kshatriyas of the earth assembled from every side as also the counsellors sitting in the assembly, the kings, and thyself the embodiment of truth, O Janardana.
Mbh.5.84.4025 Janamejaya said, How did the illustrious slayer of Madhu, of Dasarha's race, proceed on his journey?
Mbh.5.84.4050 After this was done, the slayer of Madhu said, Here must we pass the night for the sake of Yudhishthira's mission.
Mbh.5.85.4056 SECTION LXXXV Vaisampayana said, Meanwhile, understanding from his spies that the slayer of Madhu had set out, Dhritarashtra, with his hair standing erect, respectfully addressing the mighty-armed Bhishma and Dorna and Sanjaya and the illustrious Vidura, said these words unto Duryodhana and his counsellors, O scion of Kuru's race, strange and wonderful is the news that we hear.
Mbh.5.85.4061 The slayer of Madhu is, by all means, deserving of honour and worship at our hands.
Mbh.5.86.4096 Let all the citizens with their wives and children behold the illustrious slayer of Madhu wit h as much respect and devotion as they show when casting their eyes on the morning sun.
Mbh.5.89.4171 And having offered that worship unto them according to established usage, Madhava the slayer of Madhu, greeted the other kings according to their seniority in years.
Mbh.5.89.4179 And after the hospitable reception was over, Vidura, conversant with all the principles of morality, enquired of Govinda, the slayer of Madhu, about the welfare of Pandavas.
Mbh.5.90.4190 How could they, O slayer of Madhu, who were roused from their beds by music of cymbals and drums and conchs and flutes, with the honeyed strains of songstresses and the eulogies chanted by bards and professional reciters, alas, how could they be waked in the deep woods by the yells of wild beasts?
Mbh.5.90.4192 He that hath the strength of ten thousand elephants and the speed of the wind, he that is mighty and ever wrathful amongst the sons of Pandu, he that always doth good to his brothers and is, therefore, dear to them all, he, O slayer of Madhu, that slew Kichaka with all his relatives, he that is the slayer of the Krodhavasas, of Hidimva, and of Vaka, he that in prowess is equal unto Sakra, and in might unto the Wind-god, he that is terrible, and in wrath is equal unto Madhava himself, he that is the foremost of all smiters, that wrathful son of Pandu and chastiser of foes, who, restraining his rage, might, impatience, and controlling his soul, is obedient to the commands of his elder brother, speak to me, O Janardana, tell me how is that smiter of immeasurable valour, that Bhimasena, who in aspect also justifies his name, that Vrikodara possessing arms like maces, that mighty second son of Pandu?
Mbh.5.90.4193 O Krishna, that Arjuna of two arms who always regardeth himself as superior to his namesake of old with thousand arms, and who at one stretch shooteth five hundred arrows, that son of Pandu who in the use of weapons is equal unto king Kartavirya, in energy unto Aditya, in restraint of senses unto a great sage, in forgiveness unto the Earth, and in prowess unto Indra himself, he, by whose prowess, O slayer of Madhu, the Kurus amongst all the kings of the earth have obtained this extensive empire, blazing with effulgence, he, whose strength of arms is always adored by the Pandavas, that son of Pandu, who is the foremost of all car-warriors and whose prowess is incapable of being frustrated, he, from an encounter with whom in battle no foe ever escapeth with life, he, O Achyuta, who is the conqueror of all, but who is incapable of being conquered by any, he, who is the refuge of the Pandavas like Vasava of the celestials, how, O Kesava, is that Dhananjaya now, that brother and friend of thine?
Mbh.5.90.4194 He that is compassionate to all creatures, is endued with modesty and acquainted with mighty weapons, is soft and delicate and virtuous, he that is dear to me, that mighty bowman Sahadeva, that hero and ornament of assemblies, he, O Krishna, who is youthful in years, is devoted to the service of his brothers, and is conversant with both virtue and profit, whose brothers, O slayer of Madhu, always applaud the disposition of that high-souled and well-behaved son of mine, tell me, O thou of the Vrishni race, of that heroic Sahadeva, that foremost of warriors, that son of Madri, who always waiteth submissively on his elder brothers and so reverentially on me.
Mbh.5.90.4252 O slayer of Madhu, having thee and that foremost of all mighty persons, Rama, and that mighty car-warrior Pradyumna for me and my children's protectors and having, O foremost of men, my sons the invincible Bhima and the unretreating Vijaya both alive, that I had still such grief to bear is certainly strange'
Mbh.5.90.4270 Thus consoled by Krishna, Kunti, afflicted with grief on account of her sons, but soon dispelling the darkness caused by her temporary loss of understanding, replied unto Janardana, saying, Whatever, O mighty-armed one, thou, O slayer of Madhu, regardest as proper to be done, let that be done without sacrificing righteousness, O chastiser of foes, and without the least guile.
Mbh.5.91.4281 And on that scion of Dasarha's race entering the court, Dhritarashtra's son of great fame rose up from his seat with his counsellors for honouring the slayer of Madhu.
Mbh.5.91.4294 Thus answered, Dhritarashtra's son again said unto Janardana, It behoveth thee not, O Kesava, to behave towards us in this way, Whether thou becomest successful, or unsuccessful, we are endeavouring to please thee, O slayer of Madhu, because of thy relationship with us.
Mbh.5.91.4297 Nor do we see the reason, O slayer of Madhu, in consequence of which, O foremost of men, thou acceptest not the worship offered by us from love and friendship.
Mbh.5.91.4318 And the Kauravas that came there addressed Madhava, the heroic slayer of Madhu, saying, O thou of Vrishni's race, we place at thy disposal our houses with all the wealth within them'
Mbh.5.91.4319 The slayer of Madhu, of mighty energy, answered them saying, Ye may go away.
Mbh.5.91.4323 Therewith the slayer of Madhu first gratified the Brahmanas.
Mbh.5.92.4336 The foolish Duryodhana of limited sight, having assembled a huge army regardeth, O slayer of Madhu, that his purposes are already achieved.
Mbh.5.92.4342 Where, O slayer of Madhu, words, good or bad, are of the same effect, no wise man would spend his breath for nothing, like a singer before the deaf.
Mbh.5.127.5605 Indeed, uttering such harsh words, thou, without any reason, findest fault with me alone, addressed regardfully as thou always art by the sons of Pritha, O slayer of Madhu.
Mbh.5.127.5611 In the game at dice, O slayer of Madhu, that was joyfully accepted by them, the Pandavas were vanquished and their kingdom was won by Sakuni.
Mbh.5.127.5613 On the other hand, O slayer of Madhu, the wealth that was won from the Pandavas then, was ordered by me, to be returned unto them.
Mbh.5.127.5622 Let alone the Pandavas, O slayer of Madhu, the very gods are not competent to vanquish Bhishma, Kripa, Drona and Karna, in battle.
Mbh.5.130.5812 While floating on the vast deep, he slew Madhu and Kaitabha, and in another birth he slew Hayagriva Horse-necked.
Mbh.5.131.5838 And arm-in-arm with Satyaki on one side and Hridika's son Kritavarman on the other, and obtaining permission of the Rishis, the slayer of Madhu went out.
Mbh.5.140.6253 SECTION CXL Dhritarashtra said, O Sanjaya, in the midst of all the princes and the servants, the slayer of Madhu took Karna upon his car and went out of our city.
Mbh.5.140.6257 Sanjaya said, Listen to me, O Bharata, as I repeat in due order those words, both intimidating and mild, agreeable and consistent with virtue, true and beneficial, and pleasing to the heart, which the slayer of Madhu, of immeasurable soul, said unto Radha's son'
Mbh.5.141.6315 Without doubt, O slayer of Madhu, thou hast told me all this for doing me good.
Mbh.5.141.6317 Thou must, however, conceal this our discourse for the present, O slayer of Madhu.
Mbh.5.141.6320 If, again, O slayer of Madhu, this mighty and swelling empire becometh mine.
Mbh.5.143.6381 SECTION CXLIII Sanjaya said, Hearing these beneficial and auspicious words of Kesava, Karna worshipped Krishna, the slayer of Madhu, and said these words, Knowing everything, why dost thou yet, O thou of mighty arms, seek to beguile me?
Mbh.5.143.6385 Diverse frightful visions are seen, O slayer of Madhu, and many terrible portents, and fierce disturbances also.
Mbh.5.143.6388 The planet Angaraka Mars, wheeling, O slayer of Madhu, towards the constellation Jeshthya, approacheth towards Anuradhas, indicating a great slaughter of friends.
Mbh.5.143.6394 O Kesava, amongst the steeds, elephants and soldiers, in all the divisions of Duryodhana's army, it is seen, O slayer of Madhu, that while small is the food these take, ample is the excreta they evacuate.
Mbh.5.143.6411 All this, O slayer of Madhu, indicates defeat.
Mbh.5.143.6415 The, eastern horizon of Duryodhana's encampment appeareth red; the southern of the hue of weapons; and western, O slayer of Madhu, of an earthy hue.
Mbh.5.158.7007 I said unto Vasudeva repeatedly in private, O slayer of Madhu, unto those that bear equal relationship to us, observe thou an equal behaviour.
Mbh.5.158.7011 For thy sake, however, the slayer of Madhu regarded not my words.
Mbh.5.158.7019 Having said this, the mighty-armed Rama, obtaining the leave of the Pandavas, and making the slayer of Madhu desist from following him farther, set out on his journey for the sacred waters
Mbh.6.25.1100 I wish not to slay these though they slay me, O slayer of Madhu, even for the sake of the sovereignty of the three worlds, what then for the sake of this earth
Mbh.6.26.1117 SECTION XXVI Bhagavad Gita Chapter II Sanjaya said, Unto him thus possessed with pity, his eyes filled and oppressed with tears, and desponding, the slayer of Madhu said these words
Mbh.6.26.1122 Arjuna said, How, O slayer of Madhu, can I with arrows contend in battle against Bhishma and Drona, deserving as they are.
Mbh.6.30.1427 Arjuna said, This devotion by means of equanimity which thou hast declared, O slayer of Madhu, on account of restlessness of the mind I do not see its stable presence
Mbh.6.32.1491 Who is here Adhiyajna, and how, in this body, O slayer of Madhu?
Mbh.6.52.2728 And the slayer of Madhu, struck with those shafts shot from Bhishma's bow, shone in that battle, O king, like a flowering Kinsuka.
Mbh.6.67.3690 Sprung from the secretions of his ear, the great Asura known by the name of Madhu, fierce and of fierce deeds and entertaining a fierce intent and about to destroy Brahman, was slain by that Supreme Being.

Mbh.6.97.5127 In this battle, O slayer of Madhu, many other heroes have been slain by the Kaurava and many amongst the Kauravas have similarly been slain by ourselves.
Mbh.6.97.5132 Alas, for Duryodhana's, fault, and also of Sakuni the son of Suvala, as also through the evil counsels of Karna, the Kshatriya race is being exterminated, O slayer of Madhu, I now understand, O mighty-armed one, that the king acted wisely by begging of Suyodhana only half the kingdom, or, instead, only five villages.
Mbh.6.97.5137 Else, O slayer of Madhu, this battle with kinsmen is distasteful to me.
Mbh.6.108.5771 For myself alone, O slayer of Madhu, hath Krishna been sunk into such distress.
Mbh.6.108.5814 Therefore, O slayer of Madhu, all of us accompanied by thee, will once more repair unto Devavrata, for asking him about the means of his own death.

Mbh.7.25.1318 Beholding the risen dust and hearing the wail of the troops when Bhagadatta was performing great feats on the field, the son of Kunti addressed Krishna and said O slayer of Madhu, it seems that the ruler of the Pragjyotishas hath, on his elephant, with great impetuosity, advanced to battle.
Mbh.7.74.3229 Thou shalt see, O slayer of Madhu, the weapons of all these cut off and baffled by me when I go against them for slaying Jayadratha!
Mbh.7.74.3231 If the Siddhas, the Rudras, the Vasus, with the Aswins, the Maruts with Indra: at their head the Viswadevas with other gods, the Pitris, the Gandharvas, Garuda, the Ocean, the mountains, the firmament, Heaven, Earth, the point of the compass cardinal and subsidiary, and the regents of those points, all the creatures that are domestic and all that are wild, in fact if all the mobile and the immobile beings together, become the protectors of the ruler of the Sindhus, yet, O slayer of Madhu, shalt thou behold Jayadratha slain by me tomorrow in battle with my arrows!
Mbh.7.81.3573 SECTION LXXXIII Sanjaya said, Then king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, saluting Devaki's son Janardana, and cheerfully addressed him saying Hast thou passed the night happily, O slayer of Madhu?
Mbh.7.81.3580 Then in the hearing of them all, Yudhishthira addressing the lotus-eyed slayer of Madhu, and said unto him these sweet words: Relying on thee alone, we, like the celestial one, the deity of a thousand eyes, seek, victory in battle and eternal happiness.
Mbh.7.81.3582 O lord of all, O thou that art compassionate unto those that are devoted to thee, upon thee wholly rests the happiness of us all and our very existence, O slayer of Madhu!
Mbh.7.83.3694 There where Vrikodara and Arjuna are, and the Vrishni hero, Satyaki, and Uttamaujas of the Panchalas, and the invincible Yudhamanyu, and the irrepressible Dhrishtadyumna, and the unvanquished Sikhandin, the Asmakas, the Kekayas, and Kshatradharman of the Somakas, the ruler of the Chedis, and Chekitana, and Vibhu, the son of the ruler of the Kasi, the sons of Draupadi, and Virata and the mighty car-warrior Drupada, and those tigers among men viz, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and the stayer of Madhu to offer counsel, who is there in this world that would fight these, expecting to live?
Mbh.7.100.4637 Indeed, O slayer of Madhu, no one else knoweth this better than thou dost.
Mbh.7.145.7610 Our prosperity is thy care and we are thy servants, O slayer of Madhu'
Mbh.7.146.7644 Thou art the sovereign lord of all the worlds, O slayer of Madhu!
Mbh.7.171.9237 Our army is flying away, O slayer of Madhu, our troops, broken and mangled with Drona's shafts and frightened by Karna, are unable to make a stand.
Mbh.7.171.9243 I will either kill him, O slayer of Madhu, or let him slay me
Mbh.7.178.9691 Beholding those tokens of delight that Kesava manifested, Dhananjaya, O king, with heart in grief, addressed him, saying, O slayer of Madhu, thou showest great joy at a time scarcely fit for it, indeed on an occasion for sorrow caused by the death of Hidimva's son.
Mbh.7.178.9697 O slayer of Madhu, tell me what has removed thy gravity today.
Mbh.7.180.9795 Sanjaya said, Knowing the feat that Karna desired to achieve, the slayer of Madhu, the mighty-armed Janardana, O king, commanded the prince of the Rakshasas, Ghatotkacha of mighty energy, to engage in single combat with Karna for rendering, O monarch, the latter's fatal dart fruitless.
Mbh.7.187.10278 Those two tigers among men, viz, the two descendants of Kuru and Madhu, approaching each other, became desirous of striking each other in battle.
Mbh.7.191.10630 Beholding them thus afflicted by Drona with his shafts, the slayer of Madhu, desirous of victory to the son of Pandu, said these words: Truly, this foremost of all wielders of arms, this leader of the leaders is incapable of being vanquished in battle by the slayer of Vritra himself.
Mbh.8.72.4292 The slayer of Madhu then, beholding Partha filled with anxiety as he proceeded, addressed the wielder of Gandiva and said these words.
Mbh.8.74.4494 Falsifying this vow of that wretch, O slayer of Madhu, I will, with straight shafts, throw down his body today from his car.
Mbh.8.74.4506 Today, O slayer of Madhu, I will slay that Karna, that son of Radha, relying on whose prowess the proud son of Dhritarashtra, of wicked understanding, always disregarded us.

Mbh.8.74.4518 Today, O slayer of Madhu, I will, with keen shafts, crush the bodies and cut off the heads of all the foes of Abhimanyu.
Mbh.8.80.4929 The slayer of Madhu then, guiding his, car placed all of them to his right.
Mbh.8.86.5233 There is no doubt in this, since thou, O slayer of Madhu, that art the master of all the worlds, art pleased with me.
Mbh.8.87.5388 Today, O slayer of Madhu, thou shalt, after Karna's fall, hear those sweet words, By good luck, O thou of Vrishni's race, victory hath been thine'
Mbh.8.90.5648 When the car had thus been pressed down into the earth through the exertions of the slayer of Madhu, the excellent ornament of Arjuna's head, celebrated throughout the earth, the welkin, heaven, and the waters, the Suta's son swept off from the crown of his rival, with that arrow, in consequence of the very nature of that snaky weapon and the great care and wrath with which it had been shot.
Mbh.8.90.5686 Thus addressed by the slayer of Madhu, the wielder of Gandiva, that bowman who was always fierce unto foes, enquired of him, saying, Who is that snake that advanceth of his own accord against me, as if, indeed he advanceth right against the mouth of Garuda
Mbh.9.31.2270 Bhimasena said, O slayer of Madhu, do not, O delighter of the Yadus, give way to sorrow!
Mbh.9.33.2370 Vaishampayana said, After the high-souled Pandavas had taken up their post at Upaplavya, they despatched the slayer of Madhu to Dhritarashtra's presence, for the object of peace, O mighty-armed one, and for the good of all creatures.
Mbh.9.33.2376 After this, while the troops of both sides were being mustered and arrayed, the high-souled son of Rohini, that foremost of all persons endued with might, addressed his brother Krishna, saying, O mighty-armed one, O slayer of Madhu, let us render assistance to the Kurus'
Mbh.9.33.2382 After the heroic son of Rohini had set out under the constellation Pushya, the slayer of Madhu, placing the Pandavas in his van, proceeded against the Kurus.
Mbh.9.47.3512 There, in that tirtha situated on the bank of that river, all the gods with Vasava at their head, the Viswedevas, the Maruts, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Island-born Vyasa, Suka, Krishna the slayer of Madhu, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, and the Pisachas, O king, and diverse others, numbering by thousands, all crowned with ascetic success, always reside.
Mbh.9.47.3513 Indeed in that auspicious and sacred tirtha of the Sarasvati, Vishnu himself, having in days of yore slain the Asuras, Madhu and Kaitabha, had, O chief of the Bharatas, performed his ablutions.
Mbh.9.53.3830 Each resembling Vasudeva, or Rama, or Visravana's son Ravana, they looked, O monarch, like Madhu and Kaitabha.
Mbh.9.59.4248 Whilst those tigers among men, the Pancalas and the Pandavas, all filled with delight were indulging in such language, the slayer of Madhu addressed them, saying, You rulers of men, it is not proper to slay a slain foe with such cruel speeches repeatedly uttered.
Mbh.10.16.1013 O thou of black eyes, when Vasudeva was about to set out from Upaplavya on his mission of peace, thou hadst, O timid lady, said even these words unto the slayer of Madhu, I have no husbands!
Mbh.11.13.524 After he had been duly washed, the slayer of Madhu again addressed him, saying, Thou hast, O king, read the Vedas and diverse scriptures.
Mbh.11.16.691 In the destruction of the Pancalas and the Kurus, O slayer of Madhu, I think, the five elements of which everything is made have been destroyed.
Mbh.11.16.694 Alas, though incapable of being slain, they have yet been slain, O destroyer of Madhu!
Mbh.11.16.727 Others, beholding their brothers, sires, sons, and husbands slain by foes, are, O destroyer of Madhu, striking their heads with their own hands.
Mbh.11.19.803 Deprived of life, O slayer of Madhu, Vikarna lieth in the midst of slain elephants like the moon in the autumnal sky surrounded by blue clouds.
Mbh.11.19.813 Behold, O slayer of Madhu, that other son of Dhritarashtra, Citrasena, slain and lying on the ground, that hero who was the model of all bowmen?
Mbh.11.22.890 Behold, O slayer of Madhu, having made a great slaughter of foes, that warrior is now lying on the bed of a hero, covered with blood.
Mbh.11.23.951 Deprived of her senses by grief, Kripi woefully attendeth, O slayer of Madhu, on that Drona who hath been slain Drupadas son.
Mbh.11.24.996 My fear, O slayer of Madhu, is that that crooked person may not succeed in fomenting dissensions even there, the region attained by them between my children, all of whom are confiding and possessed of candour
Mbh.11.25.1004 Behold, O slayer of Madhu, the heroic ruler of the Kalingas lying there on the ground with his mighty arms adorned with a couple of angadas.
Mbh.11.25.1019 This crusher of foes, O slayer of Madhu, this great bowman, having baffled many weapons of Drona, lieth there, deprived of life, like a tree uprooted by the wind.
Mbh.11.25.1025 Mark, O slayer of Madhu, he does not, even in death, desert that heroic parent.
Mbh.11.25.1045 Since deliberately, O slayer of Madhu, thou wert indifferent to this universal carnage, therefore, O mighty-armed one, thou shouldst reap the fruit of this act.
Mbh.11.25.1048 In the thirty-sixth year from this, O slayer of Madhu, thou shalt, after causing the slaughter of thy kinsmen and friends and sons, perish by disgusting means in the wilderness.
Mbh.12.1.23 What also will the people residing in Dwaraka say unto the slayer of Madhu when he goes thither from this place?
Mbh.12.46.2285 Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of king Yudhishthira the just, the slayer of Madhu addressed Satyaki who was sitting beside him, saying, Let my car be yoked'
Mbh.12.47.2296 With a cheerful and strong voice he hymned the praise of the slayer of Madhu, that master of yoga, with the lotus in his navel, that lord of the universe, called Vishnu and Jishnu.
Mbh.12.51.2756 My mind, O slayer of Madhu, is exceedingly agitated by the pain of arrow-wounds.
Mbh.12.51.2771 Through thy energy, O slayer of Madhu, I am only barely alive.
Mbh.12.52.2799 SECTION LIII Vaisampayana said, The slayer of Madhu, retiring to his bed, slept happily.
Mbh.12.53.2845 O foremost one of Yadu's race, do thou, therefore, O slayer of Madhu, speak first.
Mbh.12.206.12480 After the high-souled Grandsire had, O mighty-armed one, thus sprung from the primeval lotus, a great Asura of the name of Madhu, having no beginning, started into birth, springing from the attribute or Darkness Tamas.
Mbh.12.206.12482 From this slaughter, O son, of the Asura named Madhu, all the gods and the Danavas and men came to call that foremost of all righteous persons by the name of Madhusudana slayer of Madhu
Mbh.12.206.12505 The slayer of Madhu also created the Day and the Night, and the Season in their order, and the Morn and the Even.
Mbh.12.206.12511 Possessed of great ascetic merit, the slayer of Madhu, having thus created the four orders of men, made Dhatri Brahman the lord and ruler of all created beings.
Mbh.12.226.13849 Prithu, Aila, Maya, Bhima, Naraka, Samvara, Aswagriva, Puloman, Swarbhanu, whose standard was of immeasurable height, Prahlada, Namuchi, Daksha, Vipprachitti, Virochana, Hrinisheva, Suhotra, Bhurihan, Pushavat, Vrisha, Satyepsu, Rishava, Vahu, Kapilaswa, Virupaka, Vana, Kartaswara, Vahni, Viswadanshtra, Nairiti, Sankocha, Varitaksha, Varaha, Aswa, Ruchiprabha, Viswajit, Pratirupa, Vrishanda, Vishkara, Madhu, Hiranyakasipu, the Danava Kaitabha, and many others that were Daityas and Danavas and Rakshasas, these and many more unnamed, belonging to remote and remoter ages, great Daityas and foremost of Danavas, whose names we have heard, indeed, many foremost of Daityas of former times, having gone away, leaving the Earth.
Mbh.12.341.22215 SECTION CCCXLII Janamejaya said, O holy one, it behoveth thee to tell me the significance of those diverse names uttering which the great Rishi Vyasa with his disciples hymned the praises of the illustrious slayer of Madhu.
Mbh.12.342.22330 Do thou dispel it, O slayer of Madhu'
Mbh.12.346.22956 He is the slayer of the Daityas known by the name of Madhu and Kaitabha.
Mbh.12.347.23024 From that drop sprang, at the command of Narayana, a Daitya of the name of Madhu made up of the attribute of Tamas Dullness.
Mbh.12.347.23112 The two Danavas Madhu and Kaitabha, not finding the person from whom those sounds proceeded, quickly came back to that spot.
Mbh.12.347.23130 The Asuras Madhu and Kaitabha were embodiments of the attributes of Rajas and Tamas.
Mbh.12.347.23132 He thence came to be called by the name of Madhusudana slayer of Madhu.
Mbh.12.347.23136 It was thus that Narayana, having assumed the form equipt with the horse-head, slew the two Danavas Madhu and Kaitabha and disappeared from the sight of Brahma.
Mbh.12.349.23379 Having reflected in this way, the illustrious slayer of Madhu created diverse forms in his mind in which to appear from time to time for accomplishing the task in view.
