Mbh.2.29.1225 | Then the hero of great energy vanquished the Matsya and the powerful Maladas and the country called Pasubhumi that was without fear or oppression of any kind. |
Mbh.2.30.1247 | Strong in strength, that mighty prince of the Kuru race, vanquishing completely at the outset the Surasenas, brought the king of Matsya under his sway. |
Mbh.2.51.2150 | And Virata, the king of Matsya, gave as tribute two thousand elephants decked in gold. |
Mbh.2.52.2179 | And the king of the Southern country stood ready with the coat of mail; the ruler of Magadha, with garlands of flowers and the head-gear; the great warrior Vasudana with a sixty years old elephant, the king of Matsya, with the side-fittings of the car, all encased in gold; king Ekalavya, with the shoes; the king of Avanti, with diverse kinds of water for the final bath; king Chekitana, with the quiver; the king of Kasi, with the bow; and Salya; with a sword whose hilt and straps were adorned with gold. |

Mbh.4.1.15 | Surrounding the kingdom of the Kurus, are, many countries beautiful and abounding in corn, such as Panchala, Chedi, Matsya, Surasena, Pattachchara, Dasarna, Navarashtra, Malla, Salva, Yugandhara, Saurashtra, Avanti, and the spacious Kuntirashtra. |
Mbh.4.13.515 | And at last the powerful and mighty-armed Bhima, the slayer of his foes, shouting aloud seized the vociferous athlete by the arms even as the lion seizes the elephant, and taking him up from the ground and holding him aloft, began to whirl him round, to the great astonishment of the assembled athletes and the people of Matsya. |
Mbh.4.16.669 | That I should thus be insulted in thy very presence, O Matsya, is highly improper. |
Mbh.4.16.671 | Kichaka is ignorant of duty and morality, and Matsya also is equally so. |
Mbh.4.18.746 | Alas, that Yudhishthira becoming a dependant and a servant of Matsya, a caster of dice in his court, now calls himself Kanka. |
Mbh.4.19.791 | O foremost of the Bharatas, beholding that beloved brother of thine, that bull among men, employed by Matsya in looking after his kine, I am filled with woe. |
Mbh.4.20.847 | And she continued, she who had never feared Kunti herself nor thee and thy brothers, now standeth in fear before Virata as a slave, anxious of what that king of kings may say unto her regarding the proper preparation of the unguents, for Matsya liketh not sandal pounded by others' |
Mbh.4.22.923 | The dancing-hall that the king of the Matsya hath caused to be erected is used by the girls for dancing during the day. |
Mbh.4.22.965 | Let Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, continue to pay homage unto the king of Matsya' |
Mbh.4.30.1234 | Or, destroying his entire host, we will bring Matsya under subjection. |
Mbh.4.30.1247 | Following in their wake, we will set out the day after in close array, for the prosperous dominions of king Matsya. |
Mbh.4.31.1260 | Hearing these words, the king arrayed for battle the Matsya force abounding in cars and elephants and horses and infantry and standards. |
Mbh.4.31.1271 | And king Matsya then addressed his brother Satanika born immediately after him, saying, Kanka and Vallava and Tantripala and Damagranthi of great energy will, as it appears to me fight, without doubt. |
Mbh.4.31.1280 | And the principal warriors of Matsya who cheerfully followed the king had eight thousand cars, a thousand elephants and sixty thousand horses. |
Mbh.4.32.1307 | Then that bull among men, irrepressible in battle, Susarman, the king of the Trigartas, challenged Matsya to a single combat on car. |
Mbh.4.32.1311 | And Susarman also, irresistible in battle and conversant with fatal weapons, pierced king of Matsya with fifty whetted shafts. |
Mbh.4.33.1317 | And then Trigarta's lord, Susarman with his younger brother, and accompanied by all his cars, rushed towards the king of Matsya. |
Mbh.4.33.1352 | And seeing the Pandavas return to the charge on their car, the Matsya warriors of mighty host, urging on their steeds, shot excellent weapons for grinding the Trigarta soldiers. |
Mbh.4.34.1412 | Hearing these words of him, king Matsya ordered the messengers, saying' Do ye repair to the city and proclaim my victory in battle. |
Mbh.4.35.1417 | And Bhishma and Drona, and Karna, and Kripa acquainted with the best of weapons, Aswatthaman, and Suvala's son, and Dussasana, O lord of men, and Vivingsati and Vikarna and Chitrasena endued with great energy, and Durmukha and Dussaha, these and many other great warriors, coming upon the Matsya dominion speedily drove off the cowherds of king Virata and forcibly took away the kine. |
Mbh.4.35.1422 | And beholding the proud son of Matsya, named Bhuminjaya, he told him everything about the seizure of the royal kine. |
Mbh.4.37.1469 | SECTION XXXVII Vaisampayana said, Thus despatched by her elder brother, the far-famed daughter of king Matsya, adorned with a golden necklace, ever obedient to her brother and possessed of a waist slender as that of the wasp endued with the splendour of Lakshmi herself decked with the plumes of the peacock of slender make and graceful limbs, her hips encircled by a zone of pearls, her eye-lashes slightly curved, and her form endued with every grace, hastily repaired to the dancing-hall like a flash of lightning rushing towards a mass of dark clouds |
Mbh.4.38.1510 | And they had not proceeded far when those smiters of foes, Dhananjaya and the son of Matsya, sighted the army of the powerful Kurus. |
Mbh.4.57.2177 | And skilled in guiding vehicles, the prince of Matsya, sometimes wheeling about, and sometimes proceeding in circular mazes, and sometimes turning to the left, began to be wilder the Kurus. |
Mbh.4.65.2542 | And when the Kuru army became insensible, Partha calling to mind the words of Uttara, addressed the son of the Matsya king, saying, O best of men, go thou among the Kurus, so long as they remain insensible, and bring away the white garments of Drona and Kripa, and the yellow and handsome ones of Karna, as also the blue ones of the king and Drona's son. |
Mbh.4.65.2544 | So, pass thou on, keeping his steeds to thy left; for those that are sensible should thus be avoided' Hearing these words, the illustrious son of Matsya, giving up the reins of the steeds, jumped down from the car and taking off the garments of the warriors, came back to his place. |
Mbh.4.66.2580 | And having routed the whole army of the Kuru like a violent wind scattering the clouds, that slayer of foes, Partha, regardfully addressing the prince of Matsya, said, It is known to thee alone, O child, that the sons of Pritha are all living with thy father. |
Mbh.4.66.2589 | And having replaced the arrows and quivers of those foremost of the Kuru princes, and also that other weapon the Gandiva which enhances the fierceness of a battle, the illustrious prince of Matsya set out for the city with a glad heart, having Kiritin as his charioteer. |
Mbh.4.66.2596 | And the Matsya and the Bharata princes having thus consulted together re-approached the same Sami tree. |
Mbh.4.67.2637 | Vaisampayana continued, While the play was going on, Matsya said unto the son of Pandu, Lo, the Kauravas that are so formidable have been vanquished in battle by my son' |
Mbh.4.67.2639 | Thus addressed, King Matsya became angry and said unto Pandu's son, Thou wretch of a Brahmana, dost thou compare one of the neuter sex with my son! |
Mbh.4.67.2660 | And the Matsya king, with a cheerful heart, said unto him, Do thou usher both, as I am very anxious to see them' |
Mbh.4.69.2714 | And the beautiful Uttara, obtaining those new and costly clothes of diverse kinds, became highly glad, along with the son of the Matsya king |
Mbh.4.70.2719 | And them, filled with wrath, the Matsya king spoke unto Kanka seated there like a celestial and looking like the lord of celestials surrounded by the Maruts. |
Mbh.4.71.2792 | And looked at by his brother, Arjuna said unto the Matsya king, O monarch, I accept thy daughter as my daughter-in-law. |
Mbh.4.71.2793 | And alliance of this kind between the Matsya and the Bharatas is, indeed, desirable |
Mbh.4.72.2810 | Vaisampayana continued, The monarch having said this, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, gave his assent to what was thus agreed upon between the Matsya king and Arjuna. |
Mbh.4.72.2823 | And then the nuptial festival set in between the families of the Matsya king and the Pandavas. |
Mbh.4.72.2840 | And, O bull of the Bharata race, the city of the Matsya king, thronged with men cheerful and well-fed, shone brightly like a great festival |
Mbh.5.1.4 | Vaisampayana said, Then those valiant descendants of Kuru, who belonged to the same party with Virata, having joyfully celebrated the nuptials of Abhimanyu and rested themselves that night, presented themselves at dawn, well pleased, in the court of Virata, And the chamber of the king of the Matsya was full of riches, and variegated with choice gems and precious stones, with seats methodically arranged, adorned with garlands, and filled with fragrance. |
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.5.27.1148 | And these persons who are now assisting you, have been always obedient to you, this Krishna, and Satyaki, and Virata of the golden car, of Matsya land, with his son at the head of martial warriors. |
Mbh.5.48.2698 | When that slayer of hostile heroes, Virata will penetrate into the ranks of the foe, grinding all before him with the aid of his Matsya warriors of cool courage, then will the son of Dhritarashtra repent for this war. |
Mbh.5.48.2699 | When he will behold in the very van the eldest son of the Matsya king, of cool courage and collected mien, seated on his car and accoutred in mail on behalf of the Pandavas, then will the son of Dhritarashtra. |
Mbh.5.57.3155 | O king, Bhishma, the son of Santanu, has been assigned to Sikhandin as his share; and Virata with all his Matsya warriors will support Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.49.2585 | And that foremost of smiters, Bhishma, slaughtered with his arrows the Panchala, the Matsya, the Kekaya, and the Prabhadraka host. |
Mbh.6.52.2686 | And when the battle began in this way, the venerable Kuru grandsire, the mighty-armed Bhishma of terrible prowess, cased in mail, taking up his bow, and approaching them, showered an arrowy downpour on the heroic son of Subhadra, and the mighty car-warrior Arjuna, and the ruler of the Kekayas and Virata, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, as also upon the Chedi and the Matsya warriors. |
Mbh.7.14.603 | Virata, aided by his Matsya warriors of great energy, resisted Vikartana's son in that battle. |
Mbh.7.14.604 | And that feat of the Matsya king seemed highly wonderful. |
Mbh.7.21.988 | Thereupon, the Matsya warriors all fled away. |
Mbh.7.40.1979 | Sanjaya said, Yudhishthira and Bhimasena, and Sikhandin and Satyaki, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna and Virata, and Drupada, and Kekaya, and Dhristaketu, all filled with wrath, and the Matsya warrior, rushed to battle. |
Mbh.11.20.858 | O Krishna, the ladies of the royal house of Matsya are dragging away the afflicted Uttara, baffled of all her purposes, while lamenting in this strain. |
Mbh.11.20.861 | Those black-eyed ladies, approaching the prostrate form of the Matsya king over which carnivorous birds are uttering cries of joy, are endeavouring to turn the body. |
Mbh.12.296.18481 | My grandfather Vasishtha, Rishyasringa, Kasyapa, Veda, Tandya, Kripa, Kakshivat, Kamatha, and others, and Yavakrita, O king, and Drona, that foremost of speakers, and Ayu, and Matanga, and Datta, and Drupada, and Matsya, all these, O ruler of the Videhas, obtained their respective positions through penance as the means. |
