MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.1.1.112 And when he beheld the hall of assembly elegantly constructed by Maya the Asura architect after the fashion of a celestial court, he was inflamed with rage.
Mbh.1.2.300 After these come Harana-harika, Khandava-daha the burning of the Khandava forest and Maya-darsana meeting with Maya the Asura architect.
Mbh.1.2.353 Those that follow are called respectively Suka-prasna-abhigamana, Brahma-prasnanusana, the origin of Durvasa, the disputations with Maya.
Mbh.1.2.363 The high-souled Vyasa composed these hundred parvas of which the above is only an abridgement: having distributed them into eighteen, the son of Suta recited them consecutively in the forest of Naimisha as follows: In the Adi parva are contained Paushya, Pauloma, Astika, Adivansavatara, Samva, the burning of the house of lac, the slaying of Hidimba, the destruction of the Asura Vaka, Chitraratha, the Swayamvara of Draupadi, her marriage after the overthrow of rivals in war, the arrival of Vidura, the restoration, Arjuna's exile, the abduction of Subhadra, the gift and receipt of the marriage dower, the burning of the Khandava forest, and the meeting with the Asura-architect Maya.
Mbh.1.2.374 This parva then describes Arjuna's meeting on the way with Ulupi, the daughter of a Naga serpent; it then relates his visits to several sacred spots; the birth of Vabhruvahana; the deliverance by Arjuna of the five celestial damsels who had been turned into alligators by the imprecation of a Brahmana, the meeting of Madhava and Arjuna on the holy spot called Prabhasa; the carrying away of Subhadra by Arjuna, incited thereto by her brother Krishna, in the wonderful car moving on land and water, and through mid-air, according to the wish of the rider; the departure for Indraprastha, with the dower; the conception in the womb of Subhadra of that prodigy of prowess, Abhimanyu; Yajnaseni's giving birth to children; then follows the pleasure-trip of Krishna and Arjuna to the banks of the Jamuna and the acquisition by them of the discus and the celebrated bow Gandiva; the burning of the forest of Khandava; the rescue of Maya by Arjuna, and the escape of the serpent, and the begetting of a son by that best of Rishis, Mandapala, in the womb of the bird Sarngi.
Mbh.1.18.1395 Thereupon Narayana called his bewitching Maya illusive power to his aid, and assuming the form of an enticing female, coquetted with the Danavas.
Mbh.1.55.2733 Like the sacrifice of Maya, of king Sasavindu, or of king Vaisravana, is this sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Satyavati, in which he himself was the chief priest, is this sacrifice of Nriga, of Ajamida, of the son of Dasaratha, is this sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit.
Mbh.1.61.2955 And it was on this occasion that Arjuna relieved the great Asura Maya from fear of being consumed in the fire.
Mbh.1.61.2956 And Maya, in gratitude, built for the Pandavas a celestial palace decked with every sort of jewels and precious stones.
Mbh.1.229.11226 And it so happened that the slayer of Madhu suddenly beheld an Asura of the name of Maya escaping from the abode of Takshaka.
Mbh.1.229.11228 Beholding the Asura, Vasudeva stood with his weapon upraised, ready to smite him down, seeing the discus uplifted and Agni pursuing from behind to burn him, Maya said Run to me, O Arjuna, and protect me'
Mbh.1.229.11230 That voice of Arjuna, O Bharata, seemed to give Maya his life.
Mbh.1.229.11231 As the merciful son of Pritha said unto Maya that there was nothing to fear, he of the Dasarha race no longer desired to slay Maya who was the brother of Namuchi, and Agni also burned him not'
Mbh.1.229.11233 And while the forest burned Agni spared only six of its dwellers, viz, Aswasena, Maya, and four birds called Sarngakas
Mbh.1.230.11235 Thou hast, O Brahmana, recited to us the cause of Aswasena and the Danava Maya not having been consumed.
Mbh.1.235.11503 Thus addressed by the illustrious Agni, Arjuna and Vasudeva and the Danava Maya also, these three, having wandered a little at last sat themselves down on the delightful banks of a river
Mbh.2.1.4 Vaisampayana said, Then, in the presence of Vasudeva, Maya Danava, having worshipped Arjuna, repeatedly spoke unto him with joined hands and in amiable words, O son of Kunti, saved have I been by thee from this Krishna in spate and from Pavaka fire desirous of consuming me.
Mbh.2.1.10 Maya said, O bull amongst men, what thou hast said is worthy of thee, O exalted one.
Mbh.2.1.19 Vaisampayana said, Then, O bull of the Bharata race, urged by Maya, Vasudeva reflected for a moment as to what he should ask Maya to accomplish.
Mbh.2.1.20 Krishna, the Lord of the universe and the Creator of every object, having reflected in his mind, thus commanded Maya, Let a palatial sabha meeting hall as thou choosest, be built by thee, if thou, O son of Diti, who art the foremost of all artists, desirest to do good to Yudhishthira the just.
Mbh.2.1.22 And, O Maya, build thou a mansion in which we may behold a combination of godly, asuric and human designs
Mbh.2.1.23 Vaisampayana continued, Having heard those words, Maya became exceedingly glad.
Mbh.2.1.25 Then Krishna and Partha Arjuna after having narrated everything unto king Yudhishthira the just, introduced Maya unto him.
Mbh.2.1.26 Yudhishthira received Maya with respect, offering him the honour he deserved.
Mbh.2.1.27 And, O Bharata, Maya accepted that honour thinking highly of it.
Mbh.2.3.66 SECTION III Vaisampayana said, Then Maya Danava addressed Arjuna, that foremost of successful warriors, saying, I now go with thy leave, but shall come back soon.
Mbh.2.3.87 Going thither, O Bharata, Maya brought back the club and the conch-shell and the various crystalline articles that had belonged to king Vrishaparva.
Mbh.2.3.88 And the great Asura, Maya, having gone thither, possessed himself of the whole of the great wealth which was guarded by Yakshas and Rakshasas.
Mbh.2.3.91 And the palace that Maya built consisted of columns of gold, and occupied, O monarch, an area of five thousand cubits.
Mbh.2.3.95 Indeed, the palace that the dexterous Maya built was so wide, delightful, and refreshing, and composed of such excellent materials, and furnished with such golden walls and archways, and adorned with so many varied pictures, and was withal so rich and well-built, that in beauty it far surpassed Sudharma of the Dasarha race, or the mansion of Brahma himself.
Mbh.2.3.97 Within that palace Maya placed a peerless tank, and in that tank were lotuses with leaves of dark-coloured gems and stalks of bright jewels, and other flowers also of golden leaves.
Mbh.2.3.109 And Maya having constructed such a palatial hall within fourteen months, reported its completion unto Yudhishthira
Mbh.2.47.1941 Having saved the Asura Maya from a conflagration, Arjuna, that slayer of foes, using both his hands with equal skill, caused him to build that assembly house.
Mbh.2.47.1942 And it is for this also that commanded by Maya, those grim Rakshasas called Kinkaras supported that assembly house.
Mbh.2.49.2081 Bringing jewels from the lake Vindu, the Asura architect Maya constructed for the Pandavas a lake-like surface made of crystal.
Mbh.3.23.1146 O illustrious one, leaving that peerless palace built by Maya, which possesseth the splendour of the palace of the celestials themselves, and is like unto a celestial illusion, ever guarded by the gods, where dost thou go, O son of Dharma'
Mbh.3.280.13715 It was, O Raghava, the abode of the Daitya Maya.
Mbh.5.100.4700 Here in these regions called Patala, it hath been built with great care by the divine artificer, and planned by the Danava Maya.
Mbh.5.111.5073 Though invested with Maya, him the eternal Vishnu alone, of a thousand heads and thousand legs, can behold.
Mbh.6.101.5385 Routing that large army and causing many mighty car-warriors to tremble, he gladdened his friends like Vasava gladdening the celestials after vanquishing Maya.
Mbh.6.102.5438 The son of Subhadra then, in that battle, with his straight shafts, obliged the Rakshasa to turn his back upon the field, like Sakra repulsing Maya in days of old.
Mbh.6.111.6055 And they encountered each other in dreadful battle like Maya and Sakra in days of old.
Mbh.7.172.9321 Seizing then that gigantic prince of Rakshasas, viz, Alamvusha, who thus struggled with him, he pressed him down on the earth, like Vishnu slaying the Asura Maya in battle.
Mbh.8.33.1559 Those Asuras then, filled with joy at having obtained those boons and having settled it among themselves about the construction of the three cities, selected for the purpose the great Asura Maya, the celestial artificer, knowing no fatigue or decay, and worshipped by all the daityas and danavas.
Mbh.8.33.1560 Then Maya, of great intelligence, by the aid of his own ascetic merit, constructed three cities, one of which was of gold, another of silver, and the third of black iron.
Mbh.8.33.1570 Unto all of them thus united, Maya became the supplier of every thing they wanted.
Mbh.8.33.1572 Whoever amongst those residing in the triple city wished for any object in his heart had his wish fulfilled by Maya aided by the latter's powers of illusion.
Mbh.9.53.3828 Both of them were exceedingly angry; both were possessed of awful prowess; in encounters with the mace both were disciples of Rohini's intelligent son, both resembled each other in their feats and looked like Maya and Vasava.
Mbh.10.13.884 There was seen on that car a celestial standard decked with gems and gold and created by the divine Artificer, and standing high like the Maya of Vishnu himself.
Mbh.12.47.2417 Salutations to thee in thy form as Maya illusion!
Mbh.12.224.13641 Who, indeed, art thou that thus standest here as Maya herself, blazing with thy own splendour, after having deserted the lord of the Daityas?
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.12.231.14363 Then the original Creator of all beings, having by his Maya divided Himself, enters that subtile form for surveying or overlooking everything.
Mbh.12.284.17729 Thou art concealed in consequence of being invested with Maya or illusion.
Mbh.12.320.20201 Unto it inhere the seventeenth and the eighteenth principles called Prakriti and Vyakti ie, Maya and Prakasa.
Mbh.12.320.20212 Whether the Unmanifest or the Manifest be their cause, or whether the two viz, the Supreme or Purusha and the Manifest or atoms be regarded as their cause, or fourthly, whether the four together viz, the Supreme or Purusha and his Maya and Jiva and Avidya or Ignorance be the cause, they that are conversant with Adhyatma behold Prakriti as the cause of all creatures.
Mbh.13.17.2640 Thou art the seed of all creatures being of the form of that Unmanifest Chaitanya consciousness endued with Maya or illusion whence all creatures spring.
