| Mbh.1.230.11240 | There was, O king, a great Rishi known by the name of Mandapala, conversant with all the shastras, of rigid vows, devoted to asceticism, and the foremost of all virtuous persons. |
| Mbh.1.230.11257 | Vaisampayana continued, Mandapala, having heard these words of the dwellers in heaven, reflected how best he could obtain the largest number of offspring within the shortest period of time. |
| Mbh.1.230.11266 | Then the Brahmana Mandapala, knowing the intention of Agni and remembering also that his children were all young moved by fear, gratified the god, of the burning element, that regent of the universe, endued with great energy. |
| Mbh.1.230.11285 | Vaisampayana continued, O monarch, thus praised by Mandapala, Agni was gratified with that Rishi of immeasurable energy; and the god, well-pleased, replied, What good can I do to thee' |
| Mbh.1.230.11286 | Then Mandapala with joined palms said unto the carrier of clarified butter, While thou burnest the forest of Khandava, spare my children' |
| Mbh.1.232.11367 | Then Agni in haste and with fierce flames approached the spot where the sons of Mandapala were. |
| Mbh.1.233.11380 | Vaisampayana continued, Having addressed one another thus, the sons of Mandapala then each devotedly addressed an eulogistic hymn to Agni. |
| Mbh.1.233.11413 | Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by Drona, that utterer of Brahma, Agni, well-pleased at what he heard, and remembering also the promise he had made to Mandapala, replied unto him, saying, Thou art a Rishi, O Drona! |
| Mbh.1.233.11417 | Indeed, Mandapala had spoken to me of you to the effect that I should spare his sons, while consuming the forest. |
| Mbh.1.234.11426 | SECTION CCXXXV Khandava-daha Parva continued Vaisampayana said, O thou of Kuru's race, the Rishi Mandapala became very anxious about his children, although he had spoken of them to the god of fierce rays. |
| Mbh.1.234.11434 | Unto the Rishi Mandapala thus weeping in the forest, Lapita, O Bharata, thus replied, under the influence of jealousy, Thou need not worry for thy children who, as thou hast assured me, are all Rishis endued with energy and prowess! |
| Mbh.1.234.11445 | Hearing these words, Mandapala replied, I do not wander over the earth with such intentions as thou conceivest. |
| Mbh.1.234.11458 | Just at that time, O Bharata, the Rishi Mandapala arrived there. |
| Mbh.1.234.11462 | Mandapala then said, Who amongst these is thy first born, and who the next after him? |
| Mbh.1.234.11469 | Mandapala replied, As regards females, there is nothing so destructive of their happiness whether in this or the other world as a co-wife and a clandestine lover. |
| Mbh.1.235.11481 | SECTION CCXXXVI Khandava-daha Parva continued Vaisampayana said, Mandapala then addressed his children, saying, I had spoken unto Agni for the safety of you all. |
| Mbh.1.235.11487 | Vaisampayana continued, Having given such assurances unto his sons, the Brahmana Mandapala took with him his wife and sons, and leaving that region, went away to some other country. |
