Mbh.1.1.90 | Yudhishthira is a vast tree, formed of religion and virtue; Arjuna is its trunk; Bhimasena, its branches; the two sons of Madri are its full-grown fruit and flowers; and its roots are Krishna, Brahma, and the Brahmanas. |
Mbh.1.1.181 | When I heard that Nakula, the son of Madri, having in the presence of the whole army engaged in single combat with the son of Drona and showing himself equal to him drove his chariot in circles around, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success. |
Mbh.1.62.2971 | Why also did the two other sons of Pritha Bhima and Arjuna and the two sons of Madri Nakula and Sahadeva, themselves injured by the wretched Kurus, follow Yudhishthira who was greatly addicted to the evil habit of gambling? |
Mbh.1.67.3588 | And the two goddesses Siddhi and Dhriti became the mothers of those five, and were called Kunti and Madri. |
Mbh.1.95.5305 | And Pandu had two jewels of wives, viz, Kunti, also called Pritha, and Madri. |
Mbh.1.95.5320 | Kunti saying, So be it' imparted unto Madri the mantra of invocation. |
Mbh.1.95.5321 | And on Madri were raised by the twin Aswins, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva. |
Mbh.1.95.5322 | And one day Pandu, beholding Madri decked with ornaments, had his desire kindled. |
Mbh.1.95.5324 | Madri ascended the funeral pyre with her lord. |
Mbh.1.113.6165 | It hath been heard by us that thou hast a sister named Madri celebrated for her beauty and endued with every virtue; I would chose her for Pandu. |
Mbh.1.113.6182 | Then the wise Bhishma, the son of the oceangoing Ganga, rejoiced at the issue of his mission, took Madri with him, and returned to the Kuru capital named after the elephant. |
Mbh.1.113.6183 | Then selecting on auspicious day and moment as indicated by the wise for the ceremony, King Pandu was duly united with Madri. |
Mbh.1.114.6212 | A little while after, O bull of Bharata's race, Pandu who had achieved a victory over sloth and lethargy, accompanied by his two wives, Kunti and Madri, retired into the woods. |
Mbh.1.115.6222 | And Pandu had, by his two wives Kunti and Madri, five sons who were great charioteers and who were all begotten by the celestials for the perpetuation of the Kuru line' |
Mbh.1.119.6396 | Vaisampayana continued, The king, having thus wept in sorrow, with a sigh looked at his two wives Kunti and Madri, and addressing them said, Let the princess of Kosala my mother, Vidura, the king with our friends, the venerable Satyavati, Bhishma, the priests of our family, illustrious Soma-drinking Brahmanas of rigid vows and all elderly citizens depending on us be informed, after being prepared for it, that Pandu hath retired into the woods to lead a life of asceticism' |
Mbh.1.119.6397 | Hearing these words of their lord who had set his heart on a life of asceticism in the woods, both Kunti and Madri addressed him in these proper words, O bull of Bharata's race, there are many other modes of life which thou canst adopt and in which thou canst undergo the severest penances along with us, thy wedded wives, in which for the salvation of thy body freedom from re-birth, thou mayest obtain heaven. |
Mbh.1.124.6676 | Hearing her, Pandu replied, O Madri, I do revolve this matter often in my own mind, but I have hitherto hesitated to tell thee anything, not knowing how thou wouldst receive it. |
Mbh.1.124.6686 | Therefore, O blameless one, rescue this Madri as by a raft by granting her the means of obtaining offspring, and achieve thou imperishable fame by making her a mother of children' |
Mbh.1.124.6687 | Thus addressed by her lord, Kunti readily yielded, and said unto Madri, Think thou, without loss of time, of some celestial, and thou shall certainly obtain from him a child like unto him' |
Mbh.1.124.6689 | Madri thought of the twin Aswins, who coming unto her with speed begat upon her two sons that were twins named Nakula and Sahadeva, unrivalled on earth for personal beauty. |
Mbh.1.124.6697 | Some time after, Pandu again requested Kunti on behalf of Madri. |
Mbh.1.125.6709 | One day in the season of spring which maddens every creature the king accompanied by his wife Madri, began to rove in the woods where every tree had put forth new blossoms. |
Mbh.1.125.6715 | Roving like a celestial with a light heart amidst such scenery, Pandu was alone with his wife Madri in semi-transparent attire. |
Mbh.1.125.6716 | And beholding the youthful Madri thus attired, the king's desire flamed up like a forest-fire. |
Mbh.1.125.6718 | The king then seized her against her will, but Madri trembling in fear resisted him to the best of her might. |
Mbh.1.125.6720 | And, O thou of Kuru's race unrestrained by the fear of the Rishi's curse and impelled by fate, the monarch, overpowered by passion, forcibly sought the embraces of Madri, as if he wished to put an end to his own life. |
Mbh.1.125.6723 | Then Madri, clasping the body of her senseless lord, began to weep aloud. |
Mbh.1.125.6724 | And Kunti with her sons and the twins of Madri, hearing those cries of grief, came to the spot where the king lay in that state. |
Mbh.1.125.6725 | Then, O king, Madri addressing Kunti in a piteous voice, said, Come hither alone, O Kunti, and let the children stay there' |
Mbh.1.125.6727 | And beholding both Pandu and Madri lying prostrate on the ground she went in grief and affliction, saying, Of passions under complete control, this hero, O Madri, had all along been watched by me with care. |
Mbh.1.125.6729 | O Madri, this foremost of men should have been protected by thee. |
Mbh.1.125.6733 | Madri then replied, saying, Revered sister, with tears in my eyes, I resisted the king, but he could not control himself, bent on, as it were making the Rishi's curse true' |
Mbh.1.125.6735 | Therefore, O Madri, prevent me not from achieving that which must be achieved. |
Mbh.1.125.6737 | Rise up, O Madri, and yield me his body. |
Mbh.1.125.6739 | Madri replied, saying, I do clasp our lord yet, and have not allowed him to depart; therefore, I shall follow him. |
Mbh.1.126.6777 | Look here again at these tigers among men, mighty in the use of the bow, the twin children begotten upon Madri by the twin Aswins. |
Mbh.1.126.6781 | His wife Madri, beholding him placed in the funeral pyre and about to be consumed, herself ascended the same pyre, and sacrificing her life thus, hath gone with her lord to the region reserved for chaste wives. |
Mbh.1.127.6789 | SECTION CXXVII Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana continued, Dhritarashtra then said, O Vidura, celebrate the funeral ceremonies of that lion among kings viz, Pandu, and of Madri also, in right royal style. |
Mbh.1.127.6791 | Make arrangements also for Kunti's performing the last rites of Madri in such a style as pleaseth her. |
Mbh.1.140.7457 | Then Arjuna hastily bidding Yudhishthira not to engage in the fight, rushed forward, appointing the sons of Madri Nakula and Sahadeva the protectors of his chariot-wheels, while Bhimasena ever fighting in the van, mace in hand, ran ahead. |
Mbh.1.147.7835 | When these will remain quiet, how shall the illustrious son of Madri do anything? |
Mbh.1.158.8296 | Thy sons as well as those of Madri, mighty car-warriors all, will cheerfully sport as pleaseth them in their dominions. |
Mbh.1.193.9626 | Then Sahadeva, the son of Madri, endued with great activity, spread on the ground a bed of kusa grass. |
Mbh.1.202.10007 | Let us, O father, by means of trusted and skilful and adroit Brahmanas, seek to produce dissensions between the sons of Kunti and Madri. |
Mbh.1.205.10116 | And let the man repeatedly propitiate the sons of Kunti and those of Madri in proper words. |
Mbh.2.30.1259 | But the son of Madri, vanquishing the invincible Bhismaka, then defeated in battle the king of Kosala and the ruler of the territories lying on the banks of the Venwa, as also the Kantarakas and the kings of the eastern Kosalas. |
Mbh.2.30.1313 | Having said this, that tiger among men, the son of Madri, spreading some kusa grass on earth sat down in expectation of the approaching fire and in front of those terrified and anxious troops of his. |
Mbh.2.30.1320 | And at these words of Agni, O bull of the Bharata race, the son of Madri rose up with a cheerful heart, and joining his hands and bending his head worshipped that god of fire, sanctifier of all beings. |
Mbh.2.30.1323 | And having brought king Nila under his sway thus, the victorious son of Madri then went further towards the south. |
Mbh.2.30.1335 | And, O king of kings, that slayer of all foes, the virtuous and intelligent son of Madri having arrived at the sea-shore, then despatched with great assurance messengers unto the illustrious Vibhishana, the grandson of Pulastya. |
Mbh.2.31.1360 | And arriving at Indraprastha, the heroic and fortunate son of Madri presented the whole of that wealth unto Yudhishthira. |
Mbh.2.64.2608 | Sakuni continued, O king, the sons of Madri, dear unto thee, have both been won by me. |
Mbh.2.75.3235 | Vaisampayana continued, After Arjuna had said this, Sahadeva the handsome son of Madri, endued with great energy, desirous of slaying Sakuni, waving his mighty arms and sighing like snake, exclaimed, with eyes red with anger, Thou disgrace of the Gandhara kings, those whom thou thinkest as defeated are not really so. |
Mbh.2.77.3309 | Fortunate also was the virtuous Madri, as I regard her today, who had, it seems, a fore-knowledge of what would happen and who on that account, obtained the high path of emancipation and every blessing therewith. |
Mbh.2.77.3310 | All, Madri looked upon me as her stay, and her mind and her affections were ever fixed on me. |
Mbh.2.77.3331 | Thou art my dearest child, dearer, O son of Madri, than my body itself. |
Mbh.2.78.3346 | And how the twin sons of Madri? |
Mbh.2.78.3353 | And Sahadeva, the son of Madri, hath gone away besmearing his face, and Nakula, the handsomest of men, O king, hath gone away, staining himself with dust and his heart in great affliction. |
Mbh.3.1.24 | Vaisampayana said, And saying this, the citizens went after the Pandavas, and having met them, they all, with joined hands, thus addressed the sons of Kunti and Madri. |
Mbh.3.30.1427 | I think thou canst abandon Bhimasena and Arjuna and these twin sons of Madri along with myself but thou canst not abandon virtue! |
Mbh.3.33.1645 | This thy course of life is approved neither by Krishna, nor Vibhatsu, nor by Abhimanyu, nor by the Srinjayas, nor by myself, nor by the sons of Madri. |
Mbh.3.46.2412 | O sinless one, as Kunti, or Madri, or Sachi, is to me, so art thou, the parent of my race, an object of reverence to me. |
Mbh.3.51.2578 | Rama and Krishna and Dhananjaya and Pradyumna and Shamva and Yuyudhana and Bhima and the sons of Madri and the Kekaya princes and the Panchala princes, accompanied by the king of Matsya, these all, illustrious and celebrated and invincible heroes, with their followers and troops, will come. |
Mbh.3.120.6156 | And why should not this king rule over the entire world when he hath the two sons of Madri to espouse his cause? |
Mbh.3.156.7901 | And when a dreadful wrestling ensued between those two, both the sons of Madri, waxing exceeding wroth rushed forward; but Kunti's son, Vrikodara, forbade them with a smile and said, Witness ye! |
Mbh.3.160.8109 | SECTION CLX Vaisampayana said, Hearing various sounds resounding in the caves of the mountain and not seeing Bhimasena, Kunti's son, Ajatasatru and the twin sons of Madri and Dhaumya and Krishna and all the Brahmanas and the friends of the Pandavas, were filled with anxiety. |
Mbh.3.164.8288 | After having briefly narrated unto them his sojourn in heaven, Kiriti of spotless deeds agreeably slept that night with the two sons of Madri |
Mbh.3.243.12129 | And the mighty sons of Madri also, battling with vigour, encountered hundreds of Gandharvas, O king, and slaughtered them all. |
Mbh.3.264.12894 | Those noble persons, viz, Yudhishthira, Bhimasena, Arjuna, and the two sons of Madri, leaving me here and having assigned unto themselves the four points of the horizon, have gone out on a hunting excursion. |
Mbh.3.266.12959 | And when Bhima will advance towards thee, mace in hand and the two sons of Madri range in all directions, vomiting forth the venom of their wrath, thou wilt then experience pangs of keen regret that will last for ever. |
Mbh.3.269.13063 | The son of Madri, however, succeeded in slaying, with a couple of long shafts, both those warriors who had been pouring on him an arrowy shower, like clouds in the rainy season. |
Mbh.3.269.13069 | And having achieved this daring feat, heroic son of Madri, getting up on Bhimasena's car, obtained a little rest. |
Mbh.3.269.13080 | And king Yudhishthira the just, seeing Draupadi with Dhaumya walking before, caused her to be taken up on a chariot by the heroic Sahadeva, the son of Madri. |
Mbh.3.309.15129 | And while those repressers of foes, the virtuous king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, and Bhimasena, and Arjuna, and those other sons of Pandu born of Madri, were dwelling in Dwaitavana, practising rigid vows, they underwent, for the sake of a Brahmana, great trouble, which, however, was destined to bring about their future happiness. |
Mbh.3.310.15153 | Vaisampayana continued, Then king Yudhishthira addressed Nakula saying, Do thou, O son of Madri, climb this tree and look around the ten points of the horizon. |
Mbh.3.310.15162 | Do thou, O son of Madri, first answer my questions and then drink of this water and take away as much as thou requirest. |
Mbh.3.310.15207 | And the king said unto himself again and again, Why is it that the two sons of Madri are delaying? |
Mbh.3.311.15498 | My father had two wives, Kunti and Madri. |
Mbh.3.311.15501 | As Kunti is to me, so also is Madri. |
Mbh.4.43.1653 | And this bow adorned with golden images of insects and set also with gems and stones, belongeth to that son of Madri who is called Sahadeva. |
Mbh.4.43.1658 | This is the quiver of the intelligent son of Madri, with which he had conquered in battle the whole of the western regions. |
Mbh.4.71.2753 | Both these sons of Madri are great car-warriors, possessed of great fame and beauty of person. |
Mbh.4.71.2785 | And having again and again embraced Yudhishthira and Bhima and the sons of Madri, and smelt their heads, Virata, that owner of a large army, was not satiated with gazing at them. |
Mbh.5.1.8 | And side by side with the king of the Matsya sat Krishna and Yudhishthira, and all the sons of king Drupada, and Bhima and Arjuna, and the two sons of Madri, and Pradyumna and Samva, both valiant in battle, and Abhimanyu with Virata's sons. |
Mbh.5.1.27 | These brave sons of Kunti, and the two sons of Madri, ask for only what they themselves, achieving victory in battle, had won from the defeated kings. |
Mbh.5.22.921 | It is wise to yield to Yudhishthira his due share before the war, to him whose steps are followed by Arjuna and Krishna and Bhima and Satyaki and the two sons of Madri and the warriors of the Srinjaya race. |
Mbh.5.22.932 | Of great heart, and strong, and endued with great lightness of hand, the two twin brothers, sons of Madri, carefully trained by Arjuna, would leave not a foe alive, like to a pair of hawks preying upon large flocks of birds. |
Mbh.5.23.977 | I hope Bhimasena is well, and that Dhananjaya, that foremost of the Pandavas, and these two sons of Madri, are well. |
Mbh.5.23.1014 | Do they remember the mighty Sahadeva, the son of Madri, who in Dantakura conquered the Kalingas, shooting arrows by both the left and right hand? |
Mbh.5.23.1017 | Those wicked ones having been over-powered by their enemies were afterwards liberated by Bhimasena and Arjuna, myself protecting the rear of Arjuna in the fight that ensued and Bhima protecting the rear of the sons of Madri, and the wielder of the Gandiva coming out unharmed from the press of battle having made a great slaughter of the hostile host, do they remember that? |
Mbh.5.24.1029 | They remember those mighty car-warriors, the two sons of Madri, who on the field of battle career in all directions, shooting incessant showers of shafts on hostile hosts, and who know not what it is to tremble in fight. |
Mbh.5.25.1037 | Sanjaya said, I greet Yudhishthira, and Vrikodara and Dhananjaya, and the two sons of Madri, and Vasudeva the descendant of Sura, and Satyaki, and the aged ruler of the Panchalas, and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata. |
Mbh.5.29.1300 | Yudhishthira is a big tree of righteousness; Arjuna is its trunk; and Bhima is its branches; the sons of Madri are its abundant flowers and fruits; and its roots are myself and religion and religious men. |
Mbh.5.30.1315 | I would also bid farewell to Janardana, to Bhima and Arjuna, to the son of Madri, to Satyaki, and to Chekitana, and take my departure. |
Mbh.5.50.2866 | With that handsome hero, that unrivalled bowman, that son of Madri, O Kauravya, the Pandavas will fight against you. |
Mbh.5.56.3144 | And Nakula of Ajamida's race, the son of Madri, is borne, like Indra the slayer of Vritra, by excellent steeds, presented by the great Indra himself, all mighty as the wind and endued with great speed. |
Mbh.5.57.3165 | And the heroic son of Madri, Sahadeva, who setteth up terrible roars in battle, hath intended to take as his share thy brother-in-law, the son of Suvala. |
Mbh.5.81.3894 | Therefore, O foremost of men, all the warriors assembled here unanimously subscribe to what the heroic son of Madri, fierce in battle, hath said' |
Mbh.5.83.3982 | And while Krishna was proceeding, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, followed him, as also Bhima and Arjuna and those other Pandavas, viz, the twin sons of Madri. |
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.5.131.5829 | And behind him stood Bhima, and Yudhishthira, and the two sons of Madri, and before him were all the Andhakas and the Vrishnis with Pradyumna and other chiefs bearing mighty weapons upraised. |
Mbh.5.137.6155 | Thou must also say unto the sons of Madri who are always devoted to Kshatriya virtues, these words, Covet ye more than life itself, those enjoyments that are acquired by prowess. |
Mbh.5.141.6335 | The two sons of Madri, Nakula and Sahadeva, of great fame and prowess, will be the slayers of the sacrificial animals; rows of bright cars furnished with standards of variegated hue, will, O Govinda, be stakes for tying the animals, O Janardana, in this sacrifice. |
Mbh.5.142.6372 | When thou wilt behold in battle the two mighty sons of Madri, those heroic car-warriors, capable of breaking into pieces all hostile cars, agitating, from the very moment when weapons will begin to clash, the army of Dhritarashtra's sons like a couple of infuriated elephants, then all signs of the Krita, the Treta and the Dwapara ages will disappear. |
Mbh.5.151.6772 | After the two sons of Madri had thus expressed their individual opinions, Vasava's son, Savyasachin, who was equal to Vasava himself, said these words, This celestial person of the hue of fire and endued with mighty arms, who sprang into life through the power of ascetic penances and the gratification of sages; who issued from the sacrificial fire-hole armed with bow and sword, accoutred in armour of steel, mounted on a car unto which were yoked excellent steeds of the best breed, and the clatter of whose car-wheels was as deep as the roar of mighty masses of clouds; this hero endued with that energy and strength and resembling the very lion in his frame of body and prowess, and possessed of leonine shoulders, arms, chest, and voice like the lion's roar; this hero of great effulgence; this warrior of handsome brows, fine teeth, round cheeks, long arms, of stout make, excellent thighs, large expansive eyes, excellent legs, and strong frame; this prince who is incapable of being penetrated by weapons of any kind, and who looks like an elephant with rent temples; this Dhrishtadyumna, truthful in speech, and with passions under control, was born for the destruction of Drona. |
Mbh.5.152.6806 | And in the van of that host marched Bhimasena, and the two sons of Madri encased in their coats of mail, and Subhadra's son and the five sons of Draupadi and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race. |
Mbh.5.170.7693 | Those two bulls among men, the sons of Madri, are both Rathas. |
Mbh.6.19.915 | The two sons of Madri, both endued with great effulgence, became the protectors of Bhima's wheels; while the five sons of Draupadi and the son of Subhadra all endued with great activity, protected Bhima from behind. |
Mbh.6.45.2216 | The son of Madri, then, laughing the while, cut off, with sharp arrows of his, adversary's standard and bow, and then he struck him with five and twenty small-headed arrows. |
Mbh.6.50.2636 | I will follow thee, and Bhima, and Krishna also, O sire, and the sons of Madri united together, and the sons of Draupadi accoutred in mail, and all the other foremost of kings, O bull among men. |
Mbh.6.58.3044 | Then the son of Dharma and two other sons of Pandu by Madri, in the very sight of the whole army, began to grind the division of Drona. |
Mbh.6.62.3351 | of Prishata's race, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Abhimanyu, and the twin sons of Madri and Pandu, these ten opposed those ten warriors of the Dhritarashtra army shooting, O king, diverse kinds of weapons. |
Mbh.6.62.3361 | Then the son of Madri, those delighters of their mother, covered their uncle with showers of sharp arrows. |
Mbh.6.62.3363 | Then, O monarch, Salya covered his nephews, those two foremost of car-warriors desirous of counteracting their uncle's feats, with arrows, but the sons of Madri wavered not. |
Mbh.6.72.3845 | And that son of Pandu and Madri, viz, the heroic Nakula capable of wringing tears from the foe, engaged in battle with the excellent car-warriors of the Trigartas. |
Mbh.6.84.4441 | Then those mighty car-warriors, viz, the two sons of Madri, having vanquished in battle their maternal uncle, cheerfully blew their conches and uttered leonine roars. |
Mbh.6.86.4517 | The high-souled Yudhishthira also, of fierce prowess and infinite renown, avoiding in battle the ruler of the Madras who had been assigned to his share, quickly proceeded, with excited wrath and accompanied by Bhima and the sons of Madri towards Bhishma, the son of Santanu, for battle. |
Mbh.6.88.4633 | In the centre were king Yudhishthira and the twin sons of Pandu by Madri. |
Mbh.6.100.5341 | Then king Yudhishthira, and that son of Pandu, viz, Bhimasena, and the twin sons of Madri, viz, Nakula and Sahadeva, clad in mail, took up their position in the van of that array and therefore, at the very head of all their troops. |
Mbh.6.103.5511 | And Bhurisravas, and Sala, and Suvala's son, O monarch, began to check the twin sons of Madri with showers of bright and sharp arrows. |
Mbh.6.106.5631 | Then king Yudhishthira, and the two sons of Pandu by Madri, quickly checked the charge of those horsemen in battle, like the continent, O king, bearing the force, at full tide, of the surging sea swollen with the waters of the rainy season. |
Mbh.6.106.5648 | And excited with wrath he struck each of the sons of Madri also with two shafts. |
Mbh.6.108.5778 | The twin sons of Madri also are each as valiant as the Chief of the celestials himself. |
Mbh.6.110.5999 | And Satyaki, and Chekitana, and the twin sons of Madri, and the valiant Abhimanyu, these also are routing my troops. |
Mbh.6.112.6106 | And Kripa, brave in battle, quickly struck that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Madri, with seventy shafts decked with gold. |
Mbh.6.112.6107 | The son of Madri, however, cut Kripa's bow in twain by means of his shafts. |
Mbh.6.113.6174 | Regard for Brahmanas, self-restraint, liberality, asceticism, and noble conduct, are seen in Yudhishthira alone who hath for his brothers Dhananjaya, and the mighty Bhimasena, and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, and who hath Vasudeva of the Vrishni race for his protector. |
Mbh.6.117.6366 | And as regards Dhrishtaketu, the valiant and heroic Sahadeva, the son of Madri, possessed of great prowess, bore him away from the field. |
Mbh.6.119.6537 | And Satyaki, and Chekitana, and Dhristadyumna of Prishata's race, and Virata, and Drupada, and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, all protected by that firm bowman viz, Arjuna rushed against Bhishma alone in that battle. |
Mbh.7.30.1540 | Those heroes of immeasurable energy, viz, the two son of Madri and Pandu, and others headed by Yuyudhana, quickly proceeded to Bhimasena's side. |
Mbh.7.33.1720 | and Arjuna's son Abhimanyu, and Kshatradharman, and the valiant Vrihatkshatra, and Dhrishtaketu, the ruler of the Chedis, and the twin sons of Madri, viz, Nakula and Sahadeva, and Ghatotkacha, and the powerful Yudhamanyu and the unvanquished Sikhandin, and the irresistible Uttamaujas and the mighty car-warrior Virata, and the five sons of Draupadi, these all excited with wrath, and the valiant son of Sisupala, and the Kaikeyas of mighty energy, and the Srinjayas by thousands, these and others, accomplished in weapons and difficult of being resisted in battle, suddenly rushed, at the head of their respective followers, against Bharadwaja's son, from a desire of battle. |
Mbh.7.92.4257 | Sakuni with seven hundred Gandhara warriors armed with bows, darts and swords, resisted the son of Madri viz, Sahadeva. |
Mbh.7.93.4291 | The two sons of Madri, filled with wrath, fiercely ground with their shafts the Gandhara prince Sakuni who had offended against them greatly. |
Mbh.7.104.4835 | The son of Madri, then, |
Mbh.7.150.7867 | As, again, an assemblage of lotuses becomes shorn of its beauty when the water over which it grows is dried up by the sun and the wind, even so became the Pandava host being dried up by thy son, O Bharata, the Panchalas, with Bhimasena then with ten shafts, and each of the sons of Madri with three, and Virata and Drupada each with six, and Sikhandin with a hundred, and Dhrishtadyumna with seventy, and Yudhishthira with seven, and the Kaikeyas and the Chedis with innumerable keen shafts, and Satwata with five, and each of the five sons of Draupadi with three, and Ghatotkacha also with a few, he uttered a leonine shout. |
Mbh.7.164.8875 | Then the valiant son of Madri, taking up another bow, pierced Karna with twenty arrows. |
Mbh.7.164.8884 | The son of Madri, then, quickly jumping down from his excellent car, and blazing with wrath upon beholding Karna stationed before him, took up a car-wheel and hurled it at the son of Adhiratha. |
Mbh.7.164.8890 | Fight with thy equals, O son of Madri! |
Mbh.7.164.8893 | Go there, O son of Madri, or return home if thou likest' |
Mbh.7.164.8895 | The slayer of foes, that mighty car-warrior, devoted to truth, slew not the son of Madri although he had got the opportunity, recollecting the words of Kunti. |
Mbh.7.186.10199 | During those opportunities the son of Madri covered him with arrows. |
Mbh.7.190.10475 | Then king Yudhishthira, and the two other Pandavas, viz, the two sons of Madri and Bhimasena of great might surrounded Satyaki for protecting him. |
Mbh.8.24.989 | With those arrows sticking to him here, the son of Madri looked resplendent like the Sun with his own rays while shedding his light on the Earth. |
Mbh.8.24.1026 | Return home, O son of Madri, or go thither where Krishna and Phalguna are |
Mbh.8.35.1862 | The two brave sons of Madri also were defeated by Karna in great battle, though, from some object he had in view, he did not, O sire, slay them then. |
Mbh.8.36.1917 | Either seize king Yudhishthira the just or slay Dhananjaya and Bhimasena, O son of Radha, and the twin sons of Madri. |
Mbh.8.49.2775 | And the sons of Draupadi, and the Suras, and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, also followed the king. |
Mbh.8.56.3159 | Beholding on the other hand, the prowess of thy son, the great car-warriors all regarded the twin sons of Madri to be in the presence of Death. |
Mbh.8.56.3161 | Transgressing those two great car-warriors, viz, the two brave sons of Madri, Dhrishtadyumna began to resist thy son with his shafts. |
Mbh.8.63.3671 | Then those two scorchers of foes, viz, the twin sons of Madri, those two protectors of Yudhishthira's car-wheels, rushed towards Karna so that the latter might not succeed in slaying the king. |
Mbh.8.63.3676 | Similarly, the valiant Karna, having slain the steeds of Nakula, cut off the car shafts and bow of that intelligent son of Madri. |
Mbh.8.63.3684 | And he continued to pierce the two sons of Madri by Pandu with many keen arrows. |
Mbh.8.63.3699 | What wilt thou gain by slaying the sons of Madri or king Yudhishthira |
Mbh.8.63.3700 | Hearing these words of Shalya, O lord of Earth, and beholding Duryodhana overpowered by Bhima in that dreadful battle, the valiant son of Radha, thus urged by the words of Shalya and exceedingly desirous of rescuing the king, left Ajatasatru and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, and rushed for rescuing thy son. |
Mbh.8.63.3704 | The, arrows then being extracted from his body, the royal son of Pandu, his heart exceedingly afflicted with sorrow's dart, addressed his two brothers, viz, those two mighty car-warriors, the sons of Madri, saying, Repair quickly to the division of Bhimasena. |
Mbh.8.84.5144 | The steedless son of Madri, thus afflicted by Karna's son, sprang upon Bhima's car like a lion springing upon a mountain summit, in the sight of Dhananjaya. |
Mbh.8.93.5943 | The two sons of Madri, and Satyaki, filled with joy, rushed with speed against Shakuni and slaughtered the troops of Subala's son. |
Mbh.8.96.6104 | Unto Dhrishtadyumna and Yudhamanyu and the twin sons of Madri and Vrikodara and Yuyudhana, Govinda said, Ye kings, until we come back having informed the king of Karna's slaughter by Arjuna, stand ye here with care |
Mbh.8.96.6112 | Smiling then, Krishna, otherwise called Acyuta, joined his palms and addressed king Yudhishthira whose foes had been killed saying, By good luck, the wielder of Gandiva, and Vrikodara, the son of Pandu, and thyself, and the two sons of Madri, are all safe, having been freed from this battle that has been so destructive of heroes and that made the very hair of the body to stand on end. |
Mbh.9.3.184 | The twin sons of Madri and the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, all endued with great strength, cheerfully rushed against Shakuni with great speed from desire of slaying him. |
Mbh.9.3.192 | The celebrated sons of Madri, with Satyaki among them, engaged in the pursuit of the Gandhara king who was quick in the use of weapons, speedily appeared to our view. |
Mbh.9.8.498 | The two sons of Madri, accompanied by their troops, proceeded against Shakuni and the great car-warrior Uluka at the head of their forces. |
Mbh.9.9.554 | The two sons of Madri, endued with great activity, accomplished in weapons, and invincible in battle, proceeded with great speed against thy host, inspired with desire of victory. |
Mbh.9.10.598 | The valiant son of Madri fearlessly pierced each of them, O monarch, with couple of shafts at the van of battle. |
Mbh.9.10.629 | Then Satyaki, and Bhimasena, and those two Pandavas, the twin sons of Madri, placing that chastiser of foes and abode of modesty, Yudhishthira, at their head, and surrounding him on all sides in that battle, uttered leonine roars. |
Mbh.9.11.660 | Possessed of great strength, he pierced Bhimasena, and the five sons of Draupadi and Dhristadyumna, the two sons of Madri by Pandu, and the grandson of Sini, and Shikhandi also, each with ten arrows equipped with wings of gold and whetted on stone. |
Mbh.9.12.760 | And he pierced Satyaki with five and twenty keen arrows, and Bhimasena with seven, and the two sons of Madri with a hundred, in that battle. |
Mbh.9.12.766 | Piercing Satyaki and Bhimasena and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, each with five arrows, he afflicted Yudhishthira greatly. |
Mbh.9.13.770 | SECTION Sanjaya said, When king Yudhishthira the just was thus afflicted by the ruler of Madras, Satyaki and Bhimasena and the two sons of Madri by Pandu, encompassing Shalya with their cars, began to afflict him in that battle. |
Mbh.9.15.873 | Then the heroic Nakula, the son of Madri, seeing king Yudhishthira the just greatly afflicted, rushed with speed against his maternal uncle. |
Mbh.9.15.876 | Then king Yudhishthira, and Bhimasena, and Satyaki, and Sahadeva, the son of Madri, all rushed against the ruler of the Madras. |
Mbh.9.15.887 | He next pierced two angry sons of Madri, and Bhimasena the son of Pandu, and Yudhishthira, O thou of Kuru's race, with ten arrows each. |
Mbh.9.16.951 | The Pancala prince Dhrishtadyumna, Satyaki, and the two sons of Madri by Pandu, received Shakuni and the other Kuru heroes around. |
Mbh.9.17.1001 | Bhimasena, and the grandson of Sini, and those two foremost of men, the two sons of Madri, encompassed that warrior while he was fighting with the Pandava king of terrible might. |
Mbh.9.17.1004 | Protected by Bhimasena, and by the two sons of Madri, and by him of Madhu's race, the royal son of Dharma struck the ruler of the Madras in the centre of the chest with winged arrows of fierce energy. |
Mbh.9.17.1028 | Sahadeva, the son of Madri, also did the same. |
Mbh.9.18.1118 | Then Arjuna, and Bhima, and the two sons of Madri by Pandu, and that tiger among men, Satyaki, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Shikhandi, and the Pancalas and the Somakas, desirous of rescuing Yudhishthira, surrounded him on all sides. |
Mbh.9.19.1187 | After the slaughter of the heroic son of Subala and all the Gandharas he will know the strength, in battle, of the two sons of Madri by Pandu. |
Mbh.9.19.1188 | Why will not victory be theirs that have Dhananjaya for their warrior, as also Satyaki, and Bhimasena, and Dhrishtadyumna the son of Prishata, and the five sons of Draupadi, and the two sons of Madri, and the mighty bowman Shikhandi, and king Yudhishthira? |
Mbh.9.19.1194 | The two sons of Madri and the mighty carwarrior Satyaki proceeded against Shakuni. |
Mbh.9.19.1243 | The two sons of Madri, and Satyaki, rushed against Shakuni, and the other Pandava heroes, smiling, rushed impetuously against thy forces |
Mbh.9.21.1330 | Laying aside that broken bow, the valiant son of Madri, took up another formidable bow, and rushing against king Duryodhana, pierced him with ten shafts in that battle. |
Mbh.9.23.1598 | Then Yudhishthira also, filled with wrath, and the two sons of Madri, began to slay those elephant-warriors with arrows equipped with vulturine wings. |
Mbh.9.26.1793 | Seeing them so cheerless, the valiant son of Madri, with many shafts, checked them in that battle. |
Mbh.9.26.1809 | The son of Madri, however, with three broad-headed arrows, simultaneously cut off, without losing a moment, that uplifted lance as also the two well-rounded arms of his enemy at the van of battle, and then uttered a loud roar. |
Mbh.9.28.2015 | Arjuna, and Bhimasena, and the two sons of Madri by Pandu, and the Pancala prince Dhrishtadyumna, and the unvanquished Shikhandi, and Uttamaujas, and Yudhamanyu, and the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, and the five sons of Draupadi, and those amongst the Pancalas, O king, that were yet alive, and all the Pandavas, and all their elephants, and foot-soldiers by hundreds upon hundreds, all proceeded with Yudhishthira. |
Mbh.9.32.2351 | Similarly, the two sons of Madri and the five sons of Draupadi saluted Rohini's son of great strength and stood at a respectful distance. |
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.9.60.4354 | By good luck, the wielder of gandiva, Bhimasena the son of Pandu, thyself, O king, and the two sons of Madri have escaped with life from this battle so destructive of heroes, and have escaped after having slain all your foes! |
Mbh.10.10.758 | Bhimasena and Arjuna and the two sons of Madri also stretched forth their arms. |
Mbh.10.10.794 | Having despatched the son of Madri, Yudhishthira, crushed by grief, proceeded with tears in his eyes accompanied by those friends of his, to the field on which his sons had battled and which still teemed with diverse kinds of creatures. |
Mbh.11.13.550 | Having said these words, the old king then embraced those princes of excellent frames, Bhima and Dhananjaya, and those two foremost of men, the two sons of Madri, and wept, and comforted and pronounced blessings upon them |
Mbh.12.37.2010 | The two heroic sons of Madri, viz, Nakula and Sahadeva, took up two yak-tails white as the rays of the moon and adorned with gems for fanning the king. |
Mbh.12.38.2029 | With soft and modest voices they uttered the praises of Yudhishthira, of Bhima and Arjuna, and of the two sons of Madri. |
Mbh.12.40.2120 | By good luck, the wielder of Gandiva, and Bhimasena, and thyself, O king, and the two sons of Madri, are all well, having slain your foes and escaped with life from the battle, so destructive of heroes. |
Mbh.12.165.9812 | Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of the intelligent son of Madri, the virtuous Bhishma, the complete master of the science of the bow, stretched upon his bed of arrows, made this answer fraught with many refined words of delightful import, melodious with vowels properly placed, and displaying considerable skill, unto the high-souled Nakula, that disciple of Drona, endued with skilful training' |
Mbh.12.165.9813 | Bhishma said, Hear the truth, O son of Madri, about what thou hast asked me. |
Mbh.12.165.9928 | It behoveth thee, O son of Madri, to regard what the Rishis have said, as conclusive proof. |
Mbh.12.166.9970 | Vaisampayana continued, After Arjuna had ceased, the two sons of Madri, viz, Nakula and Sahadeva, said these words of high import' |
Mbh.13.168.13842 | The two sons of Madri held two head-gears in their hands. |
Mbh.14.15.417 | O terror of thine enemies, what more need I tell thee, but that where thou and Pritha, and the king, the son of Dharma, and the mighty Bhimasena and the two sons of Madri are, there am I attracted with exquisite delight. |
Mbh.14.52.2304 | They then saw, O monarch, king Dhritarashtra, and Vidura of great intelligence, and king Yudhishthira and the irresistible Bhimasena, and the two sons of Madri by Pandu; and the unvanquished Yuyatsu, seated before Dhritarashtra and Gandhari of great wisdom, and Pritha, and the beautiful Krishna, and the other ladies of Bharata's race with Subhadra counting first. |
Mbh.14.63.2888 | Vaisampayana said, Having heard the words of the Island-born ascetic, king Yudhishthira the just, summoned all his brothers, viz, Arjuna and Bhimasena and the twin sons of Madri, in proper time and then said unto them the following words, Ye heroes, you have heard the words which the highly intelligent and high-souled Krishna has said from his friendship for and the desire of doing good to the Kurus |
Mbh.15.3.87 | King Yudhishthira the son of Kunti, however, knew it not; nor Arjuna of white steeds, nor Kunti; nor Draupadi possessed of great fame; nor the twin sons of Madri, conversant with every duty and who were always engaged in acting after the wishes of Dhritarashtra. |
Mbh.15.15.638 | Vrikodara, the heroic Phalguna, the two sons of Madri, Vidura, Sanjaya, Dhritarashtra's son by his Vaisya wife, and Kripa, and Dhaumya, and other Brahmanas, all followed the old monarch, with voices choked in grief. |
Mbh.15.16.690 | Behold, the two sons of Madri are overwhelmed with sorrow and grief. |
Mbh.15.23.919 | The twin sons of Madri proceeded on two fleet steeds, well cased in mail, well protected, and equipt with banners. |
