Mbh.1.1.10	Accomplished in speech, Sauti, thus questioned, gave in the midst of that big assemblage of contemplative Munis a full and proper answer in words consonant with their mode of life.
Mbh.1.1.49	And when Vyasa, surrounded by all the tribes of Munis, saw him, he was surprised; and, standing with joined palms, he bowed and ordered a seat to be brought.

Mbh.1.1.91	Pandu, after having subdued many countries by his wisdom and prowess, took up his abode with the Munis in a certain forest as a sportsman, where he brought upon himself a very severe misfortune for having killed a stag coupling with its mate, which served as a warning for the conduct of the princes of his house as long as they lived.
Mbh.1.1.95	Saying this, the Munis disappeared.
Mbh.1.8.1115	And he perceived that it was a female child, bright as the offspring of an Immortal and blazing, as it were, with beauty: And the great Brahmana, Sthulakesa, the first of Munis, seeing that female child, and filled with compassion, took it up and reared it.
Mbh.1.31.1826	And the Valakhilyas, thus addressed by Kasyapa, after offering reverence to that first of the Munis, viz, the Prajapati Kasyapa, spake unto him: The Valakhilyas said, O Prajapati, this sacrifice of us all is for an Indra!
Mbh.1.40.2149	O best of all the Munis, thy father too had done nothing to deserve this treatment, and it is for this that I am particularly sorry as if the punishment were mine
Mbh.1.42.2239	And the prince of snakes then spake unto that bull among Munis, Kasyapa, saying, Whither dost thou go with such speed?
Mbh.1.43.2270	And that foremost of Munis, viz, Kasyapa, of great prowess and gifted with spiritual knowledge, ascertaining that the period of life of that king of the Pandava race had really run out, returned, receiving from Takshaka as much wealth as he desired.

Mbh.1.50.2548	O king, the Rishi insulted by thy father was severe in ascetic penances, the foremost of Munis, the controller of passions, pure, and ever engaged in wonderful acts.

Mbh.1.91.5006	Ashtaka asked, How many kinds of Munis are there observers of the vow of the silence'
Mbh.1.99.5509	And Nandini, dwelling in that hermitage which was adored by Munis, roamed about fearlessly in those sacred and delightful woods.
Mbh.1.104.5846	Then those best of Munis that dwelt in the same asylum, beholding him transgress the limits of propriety became indignant, seeing sin where sin was not.
Mbh.1.108.6025	SECTION CVIII Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, Thus asked, the tiger among Munis then answered those Rishis of ascetic wealth, Whom shall I blame for this?
Mbh.1.123.6664	Those best of Munis beholding that wonderful sight, became amazed, and their love and affection for the children of Pandu was in consequence enhanced.
Mbh.1.126.6762	And the citizens of Hastinapura, hearing of the arrival of thousands of Charanas and Munis, were filled with wonder.
Mbh.1.175.8940	And that virtuous and best of Munis, as soon as he knew this, desirous of benefiting the monarch who was ever observant of vows, addressed him and gave him every assurance.
Mbh.1.177.9103	That best of Munis, that foremost of intelligent men, was resolved rather to sacrifice his own life than exterminate in anger the race of Kusikas.
Mbh.1.178.9147	Recovering his power of reason, the king saluted that best of Rishis with joined palms and said, O illustrious one, I am the son of Sudasa and thy disciple, O best of Munis!
Mbh.1.179.9171	O foremost of Bharatas, that best of Munis, the illustrious Vasishtha himself performed the usual after-birth ceremonies of his grandson.
Mbh.1.211.10380	Whilst their soldiers threw into the water the sacrificial fires that were in the asylums of Munis with souls under complete control, the curses uttered by the illustrious Rishis in wrath, rendered abortive by the boons granted by Brahman, affected not the Asura brothers.
Mbh.1.228.11174	The Munis who were witnessing the battle from the skies, beholding the celestials defeated by Madhava and Arjuna, were filled with wonder.
Mbh.2.4.119	Janghabandhu, Raibhya, Kopavega, and Bhrigu: Harivabhru, Kaundinya, Vabhrumali, and Sanatana, Kakshivat, and Ashija, Nachiketa, and Aushija, Nachiketa, and Gautama; Painga, Varaha, Sunaka, and Sandilya of great ascetic merit: Kukkura, Venujangha, Kalapa and Katha, these virtuous and learned Munis with senses and souls under complete control, and many others as numerous, all well-skilled in the Vedas and Vedangas and conversant with rules of morality and pure and spotless in behaviour, waited on the illustrious Yudhishthira, and gladdened him by their sacred discourses.
Mbh.2.6.300	And they are ever worshipped by the gods and the Pitris, the Sadhyas, under-deities called Gana, by ascetics offering sacrifices, with souls under complete command, by peaceful Munis engaged without intermission in Vedic sacrifices with presents to Brahmanas.
Mbh.2.16.729	Those that have become Munis desirous of achieving tranquillity of souls, obtain yellow robes with ease.
Mbh.2.17.774	That best of Munis, taking up the fruit and mentally pronouncing certain mantras over it, gave it unto the king as the means of his obtaining an incomparable offspring.
Mbh.2.58.2393	Yudhishthira said, That best of Munis, Devala, the son of Asita, who always instructeth us about all those acts that may lead to heaven, hell, or the other regions, hath said, that it is sinful to play deceitfully with a gamester.
Mbh.3.5.324	And at length they saw before them the woods, Kamyaka, the favourite haunt of Munis, situated by a level and wild plain on the banks of the Saraswati.
Mbh.3.5.325	And in those woods, O Bharata, abounding in birds and deer, those heroes began to dwell, entertained and comforted by the Munis.
Mbh.3.10.476	And the king with his son respectfully received that way-worn chief of Munis, with offerings of the Arghya and other rites.
Mbh.3.10.482	And, O exalted one, many Munis had come there to behold the high-souled Yudhishthira, dwelling in an ascetic asylum, clad in deer-skin and wearing matted locks.
Mbh.3.10.503	And, as if commissioned by fate, Maitreya, the best of Munis, overwhelmed by wrath, set his mind upon cursing Duryodhana!
Mbh.3.25.1182	And the illustrious king, that bull of the Kuru race, set himself to please all the Yatis and Munis and the principal Brahmanas in that forest, by offerings of excellent fruits and roots.
Mbh.3.30.1460	Truth-knowing Munis behold those differently.
Mbh.3.42.2264	And, lastly, he commenced to invoke the Mandara, that king of mountains, saying, O mountain, thou art ever the refuge of holy, heaven-seeking Munis of virtuous conduct and behaviour.
Mbh.3.42.2266	O king of mountains, O mountain, thou art the asylum of Munis, and thou holdest on thy breast numerous sacred shrines.
Mbh.3.81.3945	If, O sinless one, I with my brothers deserve thy favour, it behoveth thee, O best of Munis, to dispel the doubt that is in my mind.
Mbh.3.81.3948	Once, O blessed one, that foremost of virtuous men, Bhishma, while in the observance of the Pitrya vow, lived, O king, in the company of Munis in a delightful and sacred region, near the source of the Ganga, that is resorted to by the celestial Rishis and Gandharvas and the celestials themselves.
Mbh.3.82.4100	One should next, O virtuous one, proceed with subdued soul to Rudrakoti, where in olden days, O king, ten millions of Munis had assembled.
Mbh.3.82.4105	And gratified, O king, with the deep devotion of those Munis of subdued souls, Mahadeva granted them a boon, saying, From this day your righteousness shall grow'
Mbh.3.83.4260	O bull among Munis, what can be the reason of this thy present joy'
Mbh.3.84.4387	Sojourning thither, one obtaineth the merit of the Agnishtoma sacrifice, and goeth to the region of the Munis.
Mbh.3.84.4591	Proceeding next to the tirtha called Auddalaka frequented by Munis, and bathing there one is cleansed of all his sins.
Mbh.3.85.4652	When the Vedas had been lost in consequence of the Munis having forgotten them, Angirasa's son, seated at ease on the upper garments of the Munis duly spread out, pronounced distinctly and with emphasis the syllable Om.
Mbh.3.85.4733	Those foremost of Rishis, Valmiki, and Kasyapa, and Atreya, and Kundajathara, and Viswamitra, and Gautama, and Asita, and Devala, and Markandeya, and Galava, and Bharadwaja, and Vasishtha, and the Muni Uddalaka, and Saunaka with his son, and Vyasa, that best of ascetics, and Durvasas, that foremost of Munis, and Javali of great austerities, all these illustrious Rishis endued with wealth of asceticism, are staying in expectation of thee.
Mbh.3.99.5162	Then that best of Munis, Agastya, bursting out in laughter, said, How can he come out?
Mbh.3.102.5308	And during the darkness of the night those angry Daityas began to devour the Munis they found in woody retreats and sacred spots.
Mbh.3.102.5315	And every morning people saw the dead bodies of Munis emaciated with frugal diet, lying on the ground.
Mbh.3.158.8034	O Pandavas, till ye meet with Arjuna, do ye stay here, partaking of luscious fruits, and the food of the Munis.
Mbh.3.159.8048	Those best of men, the Pandavas, dwelt upon the Himavan, partaking of the food eaten by the Munis, and luscious fruit, and the flesh of deer killed with unpoisoned shafts and various kinds of pure honey.
Mbh.3.159.8052	And as the Pandavas were sporting there pleasantly, there came to see them some complacent vow-observing Munis and Charanas of high fortune, and pure souls.
Mbh.3.159.8072	And having ascended that summit, and thereby gladdened Kinnaras, and great Nagas, and Munis, and Gandharvas, and Rakshasas, that foremost of the Bharata line, gifted with exceeding strength described the abode of Vaisravana, adorned with golden crystal palaces surrounded on all sides by golden walls having the splendour of all gems, furnished with gardens all around, higher than a mountain peak, beautiful with ramparts and towers, and adorned with door-ways and gates and rows of pennons.
Mbh.3.168.8506	And desirous of victory, the Munis eulogised me with the same sweet-speeches that they had eulogised Indra with, at the war, which took place for the sake of Tara
Mbh.3.184.9169	The Munis praise thee, and besides thee there is none so versed in religious lore!
Mbh.3.184.9180	Markandeya continued, While those two men were thus disputing in the presence of the Munis, who were engaged in Vainya's sacrifice the latter enquired, What is the matter with them, that maketh them talk so vociferously'
Mbh.3.184.9182	And then Gautama, addressing that assembly of great Munis said, Listen, O great Brahmanas, to the point in dispute between us.
Mbh.3.184.9184	Markandeya continued, On hearing this, the great-mind Munis went instantly to Sanatkumara who was well versed in religion to clear their doubt.
Mbh.3.186.9253	And whilst there, O beloved of the Munis, thou shall wait for me, and I shall appear to thee like a horned animal, and thus, O ascetic, shall thou recognise me!
Mbh.3.187.9396	O best of Munis, entering within my body, rest thou there.
Mbh.3.187.9424	And that boy of blazing effulgence and bearing the mark of Sreevatsa and attired in yellow robes, gratified with me, smilingly addressed me, saying, O Markandeya, O best of Munis, having dwelt for some time within my body, thou hast been fatigued!
Mbh.3.188.9482	O best of Munis, my soul completely pervadeth all my creatures, but, O foremost of all regenerate ones, no one knoweth me.
Mbh.3.189.9517	Thus addressed, that foremost of Munis began his discourse again, delighting that tiger of the Vrishni race and the sons of Pandu as well.
Mbh.3.190.9651	And the Brahmanas will become good and honest, and the regenerate ones, devoted to ascetic austerities, will become Munis and the asylums of ascetics, which had before been filled with wretches will once more be homes of men devoted to truth, and men in general will begin to honour and practise truth.
Mbh.3.199.10215	Hearing this, the Munis of the forest of Naimisha were filled with delight.
Mbh.3.202.10397	He who is the Source and Creator of the Universe, viz, the Eternal and unfading Vishnu, He who is called by Munis crowned with ascetic success as the Supreme Lord of the Universe, that Being of great holiness, then lay in Yoga sleep on the wide hood of the Snake Sesha of immeasurable energy, and the Creator of the Universe, that highly-blessed and holy Hari, knowing no deterioration, lay on the hood of that Snake encircling the whole Earth and as the Deity lay asleep on that bed, a lotus, endued with great beauty and effulgence equal unto that of the Sun, sprang from his navel.
Mbh.3.205.10524	I know also the energy of Munis of souls under complete control and endued with blazing ascetic merit.
Mbh.3.207.10720	And in this matter of animal food, this rule has been laid down by Munis, Whoever partakes of animal food after having first offered it duly and respectfully to the gods and the manes, is not polluted by the act.
Mbh.3.258.12643	And having arrived there that best of Munis said unto the Brahmana.
Mbh.3.259.12698	And, O bull among Munis, higher and higher over such regions there are others endued with higher celestial virtues.
Mbh.3.259.12737	And having deliberated well, that best of Munis spake thus unto the celestial messenger, O messenger of the gods, I bow unto thee.
Mbh.3.260.12758	SECTION CCLX Janamejaya said, While the high-souled Pandavas were living in those woods, delighted with the pleasant conversation they held with the Munis, and engaged in distributing the food they obtained from the sun, with various kinds of venison to Brahmanas and others that came to them for edibles till the hour of Krishna's meal, how, O great Muni, did Duryodhana and the other wicked and sinful sons of Dhritarashtra, guided by the counsels of Dussasana, Karna and Sakuni, deal with them?
Mbh.3.261.12796	Meanwhile, O king, the excellent princess Draupadi, devoted to her husbands, was in great anxiety about the food to be provided for the Munis.
Mbh.3.261.12814	Beholding Vasudeva, Draupadi bowed down to him in great joy and informed him of the arrival of the Munis and every other thing.
Mbh.3.261.12822	Then the long-armed Krishna, that soother of miseries, said unto Bhimasena, Do thou speedily invite the Munis to dinner.
Mbh.3.261.12823	Then, O good king, the celebrated Bhimasena quickly went to invite all those Munis, Durvasa and others, who had gone to the nearest stream of transparent and cool water to perform their ablutions.
Mbh.3.261.12838	Then Bhimasena not beholding those excellent Munis in the celestial river, made a search after them here and there at all the landing places.
Mbh.3.270.13143	And seeing those Munis there, he saluted them also.
Mbh.3.270.13182	O king of Sindhu, hast thou not heard of the wonderful achievements of Vishnu, described to thee by the Munis and the Brahmanas learned in the Vedas?
Mbh.3.271.13219	Vaisampayana said, Having defeated Jayadratha and rescued Krishna, the virtuous king Yudhishthira took his seat by the side of that best of Munis.
Mbh.3.313.15583	And all those foremost of Yatis and Munis versed in the Vedas, exceedingly desirous of again beholding the Pandavas, went back to their homes.
Mbh.5.108.4996	It was here that the smoke-eating Munis are the smoke of sacrificial fires.
Mbh.5.111.5072	Except by Nara and Narayana, he is incapable of being seen by the diverse classes of Munis, the gods with Vasava at their head, the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, and the Siddhas.
Mbh.5.111.5079	It is in this region that Kuvera's gardens called Chitraratha lie, and it is here that the asylum of the Munis called the Vaikhanasas is situate.
Mbh.5.111.5088	It is in this region, O foremost of Brahmanas, that those illustrious and truth-speaking Munis called by the name of Dharma, guard the source of the Ganges.
Mbh.5.111.5089	The origin and physical features and ascetic penances of these Munis are not known to all.
Mbh.5.111.5090	The thousand dishes they use for serving the food offered in hospitality and the edibles also they create at will, are all a mystery, The man, O Galava, that passeth beyond the point guarded by these Munis, is certain, O foremost of Brahmanas, to meet with destruction.
Mbh.5.178.7956	And on his advent those Munis by hundreds, and the Srinjaya king Hotravahana, old in years, all stood up.
Mbh.6.10.528	In that age are born and begotten Munis endued with wealth of asceticism, capable of great exertion, possessed of high souls, and virtuous, and truthful in speech.
Mbh.6.66.3647	And the gods and the Gandharvas, and the Munis and the Apsaras also, having listened to those words spoken by Brahman, were filled with delight and repaired to heaven.
Mbh.6.96.5102	Beholding that feat achieved by the mighty Rakshasa, the celestials in the firmament, with the Gandharvas and the Munis, were filled with wonder.
Mbh.7.76.3322	That end which is attained by Munis of rigid vows by Brahmacharya, or that which is attained by those women that adhere to but one husband, O son, let that end be thine.
Mbh.7.198.11231	Birds and beasts and kine, and Munis of high vows and souls under complete control, became exceedingly uneasy.
Mbh.7.199.11500	The Brahmanas and the Munis describe him as the First-born of all creatures.
Mbh.9.36.2674	Beholding Sarasvati quickly pay that regard to the Grandsire, the Munis esteemed that sacrifice highly.
Mbh.9.36.2675	Even thus that foremost of rivers, the Sarasvati, made her appearance at Pushkara for the sake of the Grandsire and for gratifying the Munis.
Mbh.9.36.2676	At another time, O king, many Munis, mustering together at Naimisha, took up their residence there.
Mbh.9.36.2678	There where those Munis, conversant with diverse scriptures, took up their abode, there they thought of the Sarasvati.
Mbh.9.36.2679	Thus thought of, O monarch, by those Rishis performing a sacrifice, the highly blessed and sacred Sarasvati, for rendering assistance, O king, to those high-souled Munis assembled together, made her appearance at Naimisha and came to be called Kanchanakshi.
Mbh.9.36.2685	A large concourse of Munis had been gathered there.
Mbh.9.36.2689	Worshipped by all those Munis clad in barks and deer-skins she became known by the name of Manorama, as those Rishis mentally called her.
Mbh.9.37.2743	Having given wealth unto the Brahmanas, and passed the night there, the hero having the plough for his weapon was worshipped by the Munis.
Mbh.9.37.2778	It is always, O lord, the abode of Munis and Brahmanas.
Mbh.9.41.2958	Those foremost of Munis, having bathed in all the tirthas and obtained great happiness, became desirous of acquiring more merit.
Mbh.9.41.2969	Beholding the water of Sarasvati purified by those Munis, the Rakshasas that had taken up their abode there, afflicted with hunger, sought the protection of those Munis themselves.
Mbh.9.41.2999	The water of that river, O Shakra, hath been made sacred by the Munis!
Mbh.9.43.3108	The gods then, with Vasava at their head, and the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, the Munis, and the Pitris, all shouted, Victory to Skanda'
Mbh.9.47.3500	After achieving such feats Rama performed in that tirtha a Vajapeya sacrifice and a hundred horse sacrifices through the assistance of his preceptor Kasyapa, that best of Munis.
Mbh.12.30.1604	Indeed, the princess, chaste as she was, devoted herself entirely to her lord and did not in her heart even desire any one else among the gods, Munis, and Yakshas for a husband.
Mbh.12.59.3385	In this connection, persons conversant with ancient histories cite a verse, O king, sung in praise of sacrifice by the Vaikhanasa Munis on the occasion of performing a sacrifice of theirs.
Mbh.12.60.3402	These are the indications of Munis that have drawn up their vital fluid.
Mbh.12.126.7211	Hearing these words of the king, that foremost of Munis, viz, the holy Tanu, remained for a short while with head hanging down and himself buried in contemplation.
Mbh.12.199.12102	The Sadhyas, the Viswas, the Mantras, diverse kinds of loud and sweet music, the Rivers, the Mountains, the Seas, the Sacred Waters, the Penances, the Ordinances about yoga, the Vedas, the Sounds that accompany the singing of the Samans, Saraswati, Narada, Parvata, Viswavasu, the Hahas, the Huhus, the Gandharva Chitrasena with all the members of his family, the Nagas, the Sadhyas, the Munis, the god of gods, viz, Prajapati, and the inconceivable and thousand-headed Vishnu himself, came there.
Mbh.12.292.18298	Munis by duly adoring the deities and by duty pouring libations of clarified butter on the sacred fire, have been seen to attain to ascetic success.
Mbh.12.315.19671	High-souled Munis conversant with the truth regarding all the topics or principles say that when Purusha seizes attributes like a crystal catching the reflection of a red flower, he comes to be called as possessed of attributes; but when freed from attributes like the crystal freed from reflection, he comes to be viewed in his real nature, that is, as beyond all attributes
Mbh.12.335.21447	Indeed, they seem to be capable of devouring that deity from whom hath sprung the entire universe, the Vedas, the deities, and the Munis wedded to the attribute of tranquillity.
Mbh.12.336.21604	Go hence, ye Munis, to the place whence ye have come.
Mbh.12.336.21609	Ye Munis, ye shall then have to become the allies of the deities for dispelling that calamity,
Mbh.12.339.21981	Deities and Munis, who have heard this excellent old narrative, which is a Purana, all adore the Supreme Soul.
Mbh.12.361.23825	Innumerable Munis, crowned with ascetic success, together with all the deities, reside in the rays of Surya like birds perching on the branches of trees.
Mbh.13.4.331	The adorable Madhuchcchanda and the mighty Devrat, Akshina, Sakunta, Vabhru, Kalapatha, the celebrated Yajnavalkya, Sthula of high vows, Uluka, Mudgala, and the sage Saindhavayana, the illustrious Valgujangha and the great Rishi Galeva, Ruchi, the celebrated Vajra, as also Salankayana, Liladhya and Narada, the one known as Kurchamuka, and Vahuli, Mushala, as also Vakshogriva, Anghrika, Naikadrik, Silayupa, Sita, Suchi, Chakraka, Marrutantavya, Vataghna, Aswalayana, and Syamayana, Gargya, and Javali, as also Susruta, Karishi, Sangsrutya, and Para Paurava, and Tantu, the great sage Kapila, Tarakayana, Upagahana, Asurayani, Margama, Hiranyksha, Janghari, Bhavravayani, and Suti, Bibhuti, Suta, Surakrit, Arani, Nachika, Champeya, Ujjayana, Navatantu, Vakanakha, Sayanya, Yati, Ambhoruha, Amatsyasin, Srishin, Gardhavi Urjjayoni, Rudapekahin, and the great Rishi Naradin, these Munis were all sons of Viswamitra and were versed in the knowledge of Brahma.
Mbh.13.6.413	Aswatthaman and Rama, though both warriors and sons of Munis, failed to attain to heaven by reason of their own actions in this world.
Mbh.13.6.422	Do the Munis of rigid vows, and devoted to the practice of austere penances, denounce their curses with the aid of any supernatural power or by the exercise of their own puissance attained by individual acts?
Mbh.13.6.433	O best of Munis, I have thus described all the merits of individual Exertion, after having always known them in their true significance with the aid of my yogic insight.
Mbh.13.14.1069	While Munis discoursed on the auspicious and excellent acts of Isana, I have heard from them how, impelled by compassion towards his worshippers, he grants them a sight of his person.
Mbh.13.14.1344	The Munis headed by the Self-born Manu and Rishis having Bhrigu for their first, and the deities with Sakra at their head, all came there.
Mbh.13.14.1421	Behold me, O foremost of Munis, O learned Rishi, thou art firmly devoted to me and well hast thou been tested by me.
Mbh.13.16.1584	Thinking, with the aid of his penances, of Him who is the supreme Soul and who is immutable and undeteriorating, Tandi became filled with wonder, and said these words, I seek the protection of Him whom the Sankhyas describe and the Yogins think of as the Supreme, the Foremost, the Purusha, the pervader of all things, and the Master of all existent objects, of him who, the learned say, is the cause of both the creation and the destruction of the universe; of him who is superior to all the celestials, the Asuras, and the Munis, of him who has nothing higher, who is unborn, who is the Lord of all things, who has neither beginning nor end, and who is endued with supreme puissance, who is possessed of the highest felicity, and who is effulgent and sinless,
Mbh.13.26.3557	They, O foremost of intelligent men, who plunge every day in the sacred waters of Ganga, become the equals of great Munis and the very deities with Vasava at their head.
Mbh.13.26.3598	Verily, Ganga, possessed of fame and vast extent and identical with the entire universe and reverenced by the deities with Indra at their head, the Munis and human beings, is competent to bestow the fruition of all their wishes upon them that are blind, them that are idiots, and them that are destitute of all things
Mbh.13.41.4492	Hearing these words of Vipula, that foremost of Munis, endued with great prowess, became highly gratified with him for his conduct and disposition, his penances, and his observances.
Mbh.13.66.6287	Let, however, the Munis always adore the piece of earth.
Mbh.13.75.6895	The Munis are all devoted to Truth.
Mbh.13.83.7403	Kine support the Munis.
Mbh.13.85.7752	To a sacrifice performed in days of yore by that foremost of gods, viz, Lord Rudra, O thou of great might, who on that occasion had assumed the form of Varuna, there came the Munis and all the deities with Agni at their head.
Mbh.13.91.8157	Having done this, that foremost of Munis became filled with regret at the idea of having achieved an act that had not to his knowledge been laid down in any of the scriptures.
Mbh.13.91.8159	Never done before by the Munis, alas, what have I done!
Mbh.13.115.10354	These righteous men who, from the time of birth, abstain from honey and meat and wine, are regarded as Munis.
Mbh.13.120.10583	Once on a time, the Island-born Krishna, O king, while wandering over the world in disguise, proceeded to Baranasi and waited upon Maitreya who belonged by birth to a race of Munis.
Mbh.13.125.10880	The very deities and the Munis applaud acts done in honour of the Pitris.
