Mbh.1.75.4147 | And it is said that Ayus begat four sons named Nahusha, Vriddhasarman, Rajingaya, and Anenas, on the daughter of Swarbhanu. |
Mbh.1.75.4148 | And, O monarch, Nahusha, of all the sons of Ayus, being gifted with great intelligence and prowess ruled his extensive kingdom virtuously. |
Mbh.1.75.4149 | And king Nahusha supported evenly the Pitris, the celestials, the Rishis, the Brahmanas, the Gandharvas, the Nagas, the Rakshasas, the Kshatriyas, and the Vaisyas. |
Mbh.1.75.4153 | And Nahusha begat six sons, all of sweet speech, named Yati, Yayati, Sanyati, Ayati, and Dhruva. |
Mbh.1.78.4392 | After Sarmishtha had left, Yayati the son of Nahusha soon came to that spot. |
Mbh.1.78.4396 | And the son of Nahusha saw a well that was by. |
Mbh.1.78.4413 | When the son of Nahusha had gone away, Devayani of faultless features, afflicted with grief, then spoke unto her maid, Ghurnika by name, who met her then. |
Mbh.1.81.4505 | And just at that time, king Yayati, the son of Nahusha, again came there tired and thirsty, in course of his wanderings, in search of deer. |
Mbh.1.81.4537 | Therefore, O son of Nahusha, marry me' |
Mbh.1.81.4558 | And Devayani then said, This O father, is the son of Nahusha. |
Mbh.1.81.4565 | Therefore, O son of Nahusha, accept her as thy wife' |
Mbh.1.82.4581 | But it was with Devayani that the royal son of Nahusha sported like a celestial for many years in joy and bliss. |
Mbh.1.82.4595 | Then Sarmishtha of sweet smiles seeing the monarch before her with nobody to witness what might pass, approached him and said with joined palms, O son of Nahusha, no one can behold the ladies that dwell in the inner apartments of Soma, of Indra, of Vishnu, of Yama, of Varuna, and of thee! |
Mbh.1.83.4690 | Having acted falsely in the matter of thy duty, O son of Nahusha, thou hast been guilty of the sin of theft' |
Mbh.1.83.4691 | Vaisampayana continued, Yayati, the son of Nahusha, thus cursed by the angry Usanas, was then divested of his youth and immediately overcome by decrepitude. |
Mbh.1.83.4698 | Sukra replied, O son of Nahusha, thinking of me thou mayst transfer this thy decrepitude to whomsoever thou likest. |
Mbh.1.85.4757 | SECTION LXXXV Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, The excellent monarch Yayati, the son of Nahusha, having received Puru's youth, became exceedingly gratified. |
Mbh.1.85.4781 | Vaisampayana continued, Then Yayati, the son of Nahusha, received back his decrepitude. |
Mbh.1.85.4807 | The son of Nahusha, thus addressed by the contented people, then installed his son, Puru, on the throne. |
Mbh.1.86.4813 | SECTION LXXXVI Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, King Yayati, the son of Nahusha, having thus installed his dear son on the throne, became exceedingly happy, and entered into the woods to lead the life of a hermit. |
Mbh.1.86.4826 | King Yayati, the son of Nahusha, having installed his youngest son, Puru, on the throne after casting his sons with Yadu for their eldest amongst the Mlechchhas, entered the forest to lead the life of a hermit. |
Mbh.1.88.4860 | O Yayati, son of Nahusha, I would ask thee to whom thou art equal in ascetic austerities' |
Mbh.1.89.4884 | SECTION LXXXIX Sambhava Parva continued Yayati said, I am Yayati, the son of Nahusha and the father of Puru. |
Mbh.1.93.5122 | Yayati answered, I tell thee truly, I am Yayati, the son of Nahusha and the father of Puru. |
Mbh.1.95.5227 | And Pururavas begat Ayus, and Ayus begat Nahusha, and Nahusha begat Yayati. |
Mbh.2.8.348 | And Yayati, Nahusha, Puru, Mandhatri, Somaka, Nriga; the royal sage Trasadasyu, Kritavirya, Sautasravas; Arishtanemi, Siddha, Kritavega, Kriti, Nimi, Pratarddana, Sivi, Matsya, Prithulaksha, Vrihadratha, Vartta, Marutta, Kusika, Sankasya, Sankriti, Dhruva, Chaturaswa, Sadaswormi and king Kartavirya; Bharata and Suratha, Sunitha, Nisatha, Nala, Divodasa, and Sumanas, Amvarisha, Bhagiratha; Vyaswa, Vadhraswa, Prithuvega, Prithusravas, Prishadaswa, Vasumanas, Kshupa, and Sumahavala, Vrishadgu, and Vrishasena, Purukutsa, Dhwajin and Rathin; Arshtisena, Dwilipa, and the high-souled Ushinara; Ausinari, Pundarika, Saryati, Sarava, and Suchi; Anga, Rishta, Vena, Dushmanta, Srinjaya and Jaya; Bhangasuri, Sunitha, and Nishada, and Bahinara; Karandhama, Valhika, Sudymna, and the mighty Madhu; Aila and the mighty king of earth Maruta; Kapota, Trinaka, and Shadeva, and Arjuna also. |
Mbh.2.52.2194 | And king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, having completed the Rajasuya sacrifice, obtained like the exalted Harishchandra such prosperity that neither Rantideva nor Nabhaga, nor Jauvanaswa, nor Manu, nor king Prithu the son of Vena, nor Bhagiratha, Yayati, nor Nahusha, had obtained its like. |
Mbh.3.3.188 | The great Karttavirya, and Vainya and Nahusha, had all, by virtue of ascetic meditation preceded by vows, delivered their people from heavy afflictions. |
Mbh.3.57.2871 | And like unto Yayati, the son of Nahusha, that intelligent monarch celebrated the horse sacrifice and many other sacrifices with abundant gifts to Brahmanas. |
Mbh.3.89.4850 | It was on the banks of this river, that Yayati, the son of Nahusha, fell from heaven among the virtuous, and obtained once more the eternal regions of the righteous. |
Mbh.3.103.5359 | The deities said, Thou wert formerly the refuge of the gods when they were oppressed by Nahusha. |
Mbh.3.129.6585 | At this very spot, the monarch Yayati, son of Nahusha, performed sacrificial rites, and made gifts of an abundance of gems. |
Mbh.3.178.8816 | Thou hast, no doubt, heard of the royal sage, Nahusha. |
Mbh.3.179.8871 | He is the royal sage Nahusha living in the form of a serpent' |
Mbh.3.179.8883 | And I was a king celebrated under the name of Nahusha. |
Mbh.3.180.8978 | Vaisampayana continued, So saying, that king, Nahusha, quitted his serpentine form, and assuming his celestial shape he went back to Heaven. |
Mbh.3.194.9878 | One day as king Yayati, the son of Nahusha, was sitting on his throne, surrounded by the citizens, there came unto him a Brahmana desirous of soliciting wealth for his preceptor, and approaching the king, the Brahmana said, O king, I beg of thee wealth for my preceptor according to my covenant' |
Mbh.3.235.11905 | Let the sons of Pandu behold thee like Yayati, the son of Nahusha, accompanied by a large train of followers and enjoying bliss that is great. |
Mbh.3.255.12541 | Yayati and Nahusha, and Mandhata and Bharata, having been sanctified by celebrating such a sacrifice, have all gone to heaven' |
Mbh.4.56.2164 | And seated on the car of the lord of the celestials, appeared the effulgent persons of king, Vasumanas and Valakshas and Supratarddana, and Ashtaka and Sivi and Yayati and Nahusha and Gaya and Manu and Puru and Raghu and Bhanu and Krisaswa and Sagara and Nala. |
Mbh.5.11.461 | SECTION XI Salya said, Then all the Rishis and the superior gods said, Let the handsome Nahusha be crowned as king of the gods. |
Mbh.5.11.464 | And Nahusha intent on his welfare, spoke to those gods and saints accompanied by the progenitors of mankind, I am feeble; I am not capable of protecting you; it is a powerful person who should be your king; it is Indra who hath always been possessed of strength' |
Mbh.5.11.471 | Then, O lord of monarchs, Nahusha was crowned king in heaven. |
Mbh.5.11.473 | And though always of a virtuous disposition, yet when he obtained that precious boon and the kingdom of heaven, Nahusha assumed a sensual turn of mind. |
Mbh.5.11.474 | And when Nahusha became the king of the gods, he surrounded himself with celestial nymphs, and with damsels of celestial birth, and took to enjoyments of various kinds, in the Nandana groves, on mount Kailasa, on the crest of Himavat, on Mandara. |
Mbh.5.11.483 | Saddened at hearing this, the goddess said to Vrihaspati, Protect me, O Brahmana, from this Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.11.492 | I tell thee truly, thou hast no fear from Nahusha; I shall soon unite thee with Indra' |
Mbh.5.11.493 | Now Nahusha came to hear that Indra's queen had taken refuge with Vrihaspati, the son of Angiras. |
Mbh.5.12.495 | SECTION XII Salya said, Seeing Nahusha enraged, the gods led by the saints spoke unto him, Who was now their king of awful mien? |
Mbh.5.12.517 | But we, the gods and Gandharvas and saints, beseech thee, O thou of great lustre, to give up the queen of Indra to Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.12.518 | Nahusha, the king of gods, of great effulgence, is superior to Indra. |
Mbh.5.12.521 | And she spoke to Vrihaspati, O best of divine saints, I do not desire Nahusha to be my lord. |
Mbh.5.12.539 | Vrihaspati said, Let this goddess of auspicious looks ask for time from Nahusha in order to make up her mind to his proposal. |
Mbh.5.12.543 | Nahusha is proud and powerful by virtue of the boon granted to him' |
Mbh.5.12.550 | Thou art chaste and true: go thou to Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.12.552 | Ascertaining this to be the result of that deliberation, Indra's queen, for attaining her end, went bashfully to Nahusha of awful mien. |
Mbh.5.12.553 | The vicious Nahusha also, rendered senseless by lust, saw how youthful and lovely she was, and became highly pleased' |
Mbh.5.13.554 | SECTION XIII Salya said, Now then Nahusha, the king of the gods, looked at her and said, O thou of sweet smiles, I am the Indra of all the three worlds. |
Mbh.5.13.556 | That chaste goddess, thus addressed by Nahusha, was terrified and quaked like a plantain-stalk at a breezy spot. |
Mbh.5.13.557 | She bowed her head to Brahma, and joining her hands spoke to Nahusha, the king of the gods, of awful mien, said, O lord of the deities, I desire to obtain time. |
Mbh.5.13.560 | Thus addressed by Indra's queen, Nahusha was pleased. |
Mbh.5.13.561 | And Nahusha said, Let it be so, O lady of lovely hips, even as thou art telling me. |
Mbh.5.13.564 | Dismissed by Nahusha, she of auspicious looks stepped out; and that famous lady went to the abode of Vrihaspati. |
Mbh.5.13.576 | And the wicked-minded Nahusha will be led to destruction by his evil deeds. |
Mbh.5.13.583 | And at that place, the slayer of the Asura Vala, quaked when he looked at Nahusha, before whom all animated beings felt cowed, and who was unapproachable by virtue of the boon the Rishis had granted to him. |
Mbh.5.14.613 | Then the goddess spoke of the acts of Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.14.617 | O thou of powerful arms, slay the terrible Nahusha of vicious soul. |
Mbh.5.15.621 | Nahusha is stronger than I am. |
Mbh.5.15.626 | O lady of a beautiful waist, going to Nahusha in private, tell him, O lord of the Universe, thou must visit me mounted on a nice vehicle borne by Rishis. |
Mbh.5.15.629 | And thus addressed by the king of the gods, his lotus-eyed consort expressed her consent and went to Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.15.630 | And Nahusha, having seen her, smilingly addressed her, saying, I welcome thee, O lady of lovely thighs. |
Mbh.5.15.652 | Salya continued, Thus addressed, Nahusha was very much pleased. |
Mbh.5.15.668 | Meanwhile, dismissed by Nahusha, Sachi went to Vrihaspati and said, But little remaineth of the term assigned by Nahusha to me. |
Mbh.5.15.670 | The illustrious Vrihaspati then said to her, Very good, thou needst not, O goddess, fear, Nahusha of vicious soul. |
Mbh.5.16.726 | Vrihaspati said, The human Nahusha, a king, having, obtained the throne of heaven by virtue of the power of the divine saints, is giving us exceeding trouble' |
Mbh.5.16.727 | Indra said, How hath Nahusha obtained the throne of heaven, difficult to get? |
Mbh.5.16.731 | Then the gods, the Pitris of the universe, the saints, and the principal Gandharvas, all met together, O Indra, and went to Nahusha and said, Be thou our king, and the defender of the Universe' |
Mbh.5.16.732 | To them said Nahusha, I am not able; fill me with your power and with the virtue of your austerities' |
Mbh.5.16.734 | And thereupon Nahusha became a person of terrible strength, and becoming thus the ruler of the three worlds, he hath put the great saints in harness, and the wretch is thus journeying from world to world. |
Mbh.5.16.735 | Mayst thou never see Nahusha who is terrible. |
Mbh.5.16.741 | Indra received all those guardians of the worlds, and with a glad heart greeted them in proper form with a view to requesting them in connection with Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.16.742 | And he said, Nahusha of terrible mien is the king of the gods; therein lend me your assistance' |
Mbh.5.16.743 | They replied, Nahusha is of awful mien; his sight is poison; we are afraid of him, O God. |
Mbh.5.16.744 | If thou overthrowest Nahusha, then we shall be entitled to our shares of sacrificial offerings, O Indra' |
Mbh.5.16.747 | Aided by all the gods, let us overthrow the foe Nahusha of terrible gaze' |
Mbh.5.17.752 | SECTION XVII Salya said, Now when the great Indra, the intelligent chief of the gods, was deliberating with the guardians of the world and other deities upon the means of slaying Nahusha, there appeared at that spot the venerable ascetic Agastya. |
Mbh.5.17.755 | O Purandara, Nahusha hath been hurled from the throne of heaven. |
Mbh.5.17.759 | Salya continued, Indra, well-pleased, began to question that best of saints and greatest of Brahmanas when he was seated on a seat after receiving due honours, thus, O revered saint, O best of Brahmanas, I wish to have it recited by thee how Nahusha of vicious soul was hurled from heaven' |
Mbh.5.17.760 | Agastya said, Listen, O Indra, to the pleasant narrative how the wicked and vicious Nahusha, intoxicated with pride of strength, had been hurled from heaven. |
Mbh.5.17.763 | Nahusha, who had lost his senses by the operation of the Tamas, told them that they were not authentic' |
Mbh.5.17.779 | How fortunate, that the intelligent Agastya hath killed the vicious Nahusha! |
Mbh.5.18.796 | The vicious Nahusha, that enemy of Brahmanas, of evil mind, was overthrown by the curse of Agastya, and reduced to nothing for endless years. |
Mbh.5.90.4191 | He that is endued with modesty, is firm in truth, with senses under control and compassions for all creatures, he that hath vanquished both lust and malice and always treadeth the path of the righteous, he that ably bore the heavy burthen borne by Amvarisha and Mandhatri Yayati and Nahusha and Bharata and Dilip and Sivi the son of Usinara and other royal sages of old, he that is endued with an excellent character and disposition, he that is conversant with virtue, and whose prowess is incapable of being baffled, he that is fit to become the monarch of the three worlds in consequence of his possession of every accomplishment, he that is the foremost of all the Kurus lawfully and in respect of learning and disposition, who is handsome and mighty-armed and hath no enemy, Oh, how is that Yudhishthira of virtuous soul, and of complexion like that of pure gold? |
Mbh.5.103.4776 | They are Vasuki, Takshaka, Karkotaka, Dhanjaya, Kaliya, Nahusha, Aswatara, Vakyakunda, Mani, Apurana, Khaga, Vamana, Elapatra, Kukura, Kukuna, Aryaka, Nandaka, Kalasa, Potaka, Kalilasaka, Pinjaraka, Airavata, Sumanmukha, Dadhimukha, Sankha, Nanda, Upanandaka, Apta, Kotaraka, Sikhi, Nishthuraka, Tittiri, Hastibhadra, Kumuda, Maylapindaka, the two Padmas, Pundarika, Pushpa, Mudgaraparnaka, Karavira, Pitharaka, Samvritta, Vritta, Pindara, Vilwapatra, Mushikada, Sirishaka, Dilipa, Sankha-sirsha, Jyotishka, Aparajita, Kauravya, Dhritarashtra, Kuhara, Krisaka, Virajas, Dharana, Savahu, Mukhara, Jaya, Vidhira, Andha, Visundi, Virasa, and Sarasa. |
Mbh.5.114.5194 | That royal sage is known by the name of Yayati, and he is the son of Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.114.5201 | And thereupon Garuda answered, saying, O son of Nahusha, this ocean of asceticism, called Galava, is my friend. |
Mbh.5.120.5363 | And beholding the son of Nahusha, the questions were asked, Who is this person? |
Mbh.5.149.6681 | Sixth in descent from Soma, was Yayati, the son of Nahusha. |
Mbh.5.149.6690 | His father Yayati, the son of Nahusha, enraged with him, cursed that son of his, and, O son of Gandhari, even expelled him from the kingdom. |
Mbh.6.9.492 | This land is the beloved one of Indra, and, O thou of Bharata's race, this land, O monarch, that is called after Bharata, is also the beloved land of Manu, the son of Vivaswat, of Prithu, of Vainya, of the high-souled Ikshwaku, of Yayati, of Amvarisha, of Mandhatri, of Nahusha, of Muchukunda, of Sivi the son of Usinara, of Rishava, of Ila, of king Nriga, of Kusika, O invincible one, of the high-souled Gadhi, of Somaka, O irrepressible one, and of Dilipa, and also, O monarch, of many other mighty Kshatriyas. |
Mbh.7.61.2738 | SECTION LXIII Narada said, Yayati, the son of Nahusha, O Srinjaya, we hear, fell a prey to death. |
Mbh.7.91.4166 | Let Yayati and Nahusha, and Dhundhumara, and Bhagiratha, and the other royal sages, all do what is beneficial to thee. |
Mbh.7.141.7128 | Ayus had for his son Nahusha. |
Mbh.7.141.7129 | Nahusha had for his son Yayati who was a royal sage equal to a celestial. |
Mbh.7.154.8223 | Then Satwata, filled with rage, pierced with ten keen shafts, endued with the force of the thunder, that old warrior afflicted with grief on account of the death of his son, and who was, besides, endued with every estimable virtue like Yayati, the son of Nahusha. |
Mbh.8.9.257 | SECTION Sanjaya said, The world regards thee to be equal to Yayati the son of Nahusha, in beauty, birth, fame, asceticism, and learning! |
Mbh.8.34.1664 | Kalaprishtha, and Nahusha, and Karkotaka, and Dhananjaya and the other snakes became the chords for binding the manes of the steeds. |
Mbh.9.39.2882 | There, O monarch, at the sacrifice of the high-souled Yayati, the son of Nahusha, the Sarasvati produced milk and clarified butter. |
Mbh.12.8.285 | King Nahusha, having done many wicked acts in a state of poverty, cried fie on that state and said that poverty is for recluses. |
Mbh.12.8.328 | This earth formerly belonged to king Dilipa, Nahusha, Amvarisha, and Mandhatri. |
Mbh.12.24.1031 | Rule thou the earth, O son of Pritha, like another Yayati, the son of Nahusha. |
Mbh.12.29.1476 | We hear, O Sanjaya, that Yayati, the son of Nahusha, also fell a prey to death. |
Mbh.12.43.2184 | Thou art Sikhandin, thou art Nahusha, and thou art Vabhru. |
Mbh.12.91.5186 | Unto him of a golden complexion and seated at his ease like Yayati, son of Nahusha, that foremost of ascetics, viz, Vamadeva, of great energy, said as follows: Vamadeva said, Do thou act righteously. |
Mbh.12.165.9900 | From Pururavas it was taken by Ayus, and from Ayus by Nahusha. |
Mbh.12.165.9901 | From Nahusha it was taken by Yayati, and from Yayati by Puru. |
Mbh.12.177.10683 | Once on a time the royal son of Nahusha Yayati questioned the Rishi Vodhya who had, in consequence of the abandonment of desire, attained to tranquillity of soul and who had an intimate acquaintance with the scriptures. |
Mbh.12.261.15886 | In days of yore, many Rishis with restrained senses addressed Nahusha, saying, Thou hast, O king, slain a cow which is declared in the scriptures to be like unto one's mother. |
Mbh.12.261.15888 | Thou hast perpetrated an evil act, O Nahusha, and we have been exceedingly pained at it' |
Mbh.12.261.15889 | For cleansing Nahusha, however, they divided that sin into a hundred and one parts and converting the fragments into diseases cast them among all creatures |
Mbh.12.261.15890 | Thus, O Jajali, did those highly-blessed Rishis cast that sin on all living creatures, and addressing Nahusha who had been guilty of foeticide, said, We shall not be able to pour libations in thy sacrifice' |
Mbh.12.261.15891 | Thus said those high-souled Rishis and Yatis conversant with the truths of all things, having ascertained by their ascetic power that king Nahusha had not been intentionally guilty of that sin |
Mbh.12.267.16301 | It has been heard by us that in days of old when the deity Tvashtri came to the place of king Nahusha, the latter, for discharging the duties of hospitality, was on the point of killing a cow agreeably to the true, ancient, and eternal injunction of the Vedas. |
Mbh.12.342.22470 | Then the deities and the Rishis, uniting together, made Nahusha, the son of Ayusha, the king of the three worlds and duly crowned him as such. |
Mbh.12.342.22471 | Nahusha had on his forehead full five-hundred luminaries of blazing effulgence, which had the virtue of despoiling every creature of energy. |
Mbh.12.342.22472 | Thus equipt Nahusha continued to rule heaven. |
Mbh.12.342.22475 | Nahusha then said, Everything that Indra used to enjoy is before me. |
Mbh.12.342.22477 | Having said this, Nahusha proceeded to where Sachi was and, addressing her, said, O blessed lady, I have become the lord of the deities. |
Mbh.12.342.22482 | Nahusha, thus addressed by her, said, The position of Indra is now being occupied by me. |
Mbh.12.342.22488 | Extracting this promise from Indra's spouse, Nahusha left her presence. |
Mbh.12.342.22489 | Meanwhile Sachi, afflicted with pain and grief, anxious to find her lord and assailed by her fear of Nahusha proceeded to Vrihaspati the chief priest of the celestials. |
Mbh.12.342.22508 | She answered him, Nahusha invites me to make me his wife. |
Mbh.12.342.22510 | Unto her Indra then said, Go and say unto Nahusha that he should come to thee on a vehicle never used before, viz, one unto which some Rishis should be harnessed, and arriving at thine in that state he should wed thee. |
Mbh.12.342.22513 | Nahusha, however, should come on such a vehicle that Indra himself had not possessed. |
Mbh.12.342.22516 | Beholding the Queen of Indra come back to heaven, Nahusha addressed her saying, The time thou hadst fixed is over. |
Mbh.12.342.22518 | Harnessing a number of great Rishis unto the vehicle he rode, Nahusha set out from his place for coming to where Sachi was living. |
Mbh.12.342.22519 | The foremost of Rishis, viz, Agastya, born within a jar, of the vital seed of Maitravaruna, beheld those foremost of Rishis insulted by Nahusha in that way. |
Mbh.12.342.22520 | Him Nahusha struck with his foot. |
Mbh.12.342.22523 | As soon as these words were uttered by the great Rishi, Nahusha fell down from that vehicle. |
Mbh.13.50.5121 | Bhishma said, I shall, in this connection, O thou of great effulgence, recite to thee an ancient narrative of a conversation between Nahusha and the Rishi Chyavana. |
Mbh.13.50.5161 | With pale faces they repaired to king Nahusha and informed him of all that had taken place |
Mbh.13.51.5162 | SECTION LI Bhishma said, King Nahusha hearing the pass to which Chyavana was reduced, quickly proceeded to that spot accompanied by his ministers and priest. |
Mbh.13.51.5165 | Nahusha said, Tell me, O best of regenerate persons, what act shall we do that may be agreeable to thee? |
Mbh.13.51.5169 | Nahusha said, Let my priest give unto these Nishadas a thousand coins as a price for purchasing these sacred one as he himself has commanded' |
Mbh.13.51.5173 | Nahusha said, Let, O learned Brahmana, a hundred thousand coins be given unto these Nishadas. |
Mbh.13.51.5178 | Nahusha said, Let my priest give unto these Nishadas a crore of coins. |
Mbh.13.51.5183 | Nahusha said, Let half of my kingdom or even the whole be given away unto these Nishadas. |
Mbh.13.51.5189 | Bhishma continued, Hearing these words of the great Rishi, Nahusha became afflicted with great grief. |
Mbh.13.51.5191 | There then came unto king Nahusha an ascetic living in the woods and subsisting upon fruit and roots and born of a cow. |
Mbh.13.51.5197 | Nahusha said, Do thou, O illustrious one, say what the price is of that great Rishi of Bhrigu's race. |
Mbh.13.51.5202 | Bhishma said, Hearing these words of Nahusha, the ascetic born of a cow and endued with great energy spoke in this strain, gladdening the monarch and all his counsellors, Brahmanas, O king, belong to the foremost of the four orders. |
Mbh.13.51.5206 | Hearing these words of the great Rishi, Nahusha became, O king, filled with joy along with all his counsellors and priest. |
Mbh.13.51.5208 | Nahusha said, Rise, rise, O regenerate Rishi, thou hast been purchased. |
Mbh.13.51.5247 | King Nahusha, beholding the fishermen ascending to heaven with those fishes in their company, became filled with wonder, O chief of Bharata's race. |
Mbh.13.51.5248 | After this, the two Rishis, viz, the one born of a cow and the other who was Chyavana of Bhrigu's race, gladdened king Nahusha by granting him many boons. |
Mbh.13.51.5249 | Then king Nahusha of great energy, that lord of all the earth, filled with joy, O best of the Bharatas, said, Sufficient' |
Mbh.13.51.5255 | King Nahusha, too, having obtained those valuable boons, entered his own city. |
Mbh.13.81.7208 | Yuvanaswa's son Mandhatri, Yayati, and his sire Nahusha, used always to give away kine in thousands. |
Mbh.13.94.8551 | There were also the Rishi Galava, and Ashtaka and Bharadwaja and Arundhati and the Valakhilyas; and Sivi and Dilipa and Nahusha and Amvarisha and the royal Yayati and Dhundhumara and Puru. |
Mbh.13.94.8602 | Nahusha said, Let him who has stolen thy stalks live in domesticity after having betaken himself to the vow of mendicancy! |
Mbh.13.99.8903 | Bhishma said, In this connection is recited the old narrative of the discourse between Nahusha and Agastya and Bhrigu. |
Mbh.13.99.8904 | The royal sage Nahusha, O monarch, possessed of wealth of penances, acquired the sovereignty of Heaven by his own good deeds. |
Mbh.13.99.8909 | And, O chastiser of foes, Nahusha, although he had become the chief of the deities, yet worshipped all the deities, as he used to do in days of yore, with due rites and ceremonies. |
Mbh.13.99.8910 | Some time after, Nahusha realised his position as the chief of all the deities. |
Mbh.13.99.8913 | Filled with arrogance in consequence of the boon he had received from all the deities, Nahusha caused the very Rishis to bear him on their shoulders. |
Mbh.13.99.8915 | The time was very long for which Nahusha filled with pride, continued to employ the foremost of Rishis, possessed of wealth of penances, as the bearers of his vehicles. |
Mbh.13.99.8918 | At that time, Bhrigu, that foremost of all persons conversant with Brahma, repaired to the presence of Agastya while the latter was seated in his asylum, and addressing him, said, O great ascetic, why should we patiently put up with such indignity inflicted on us by this wicked-souled Nahusha who has become the chief of the deities' |
Mbh.13.99.8919 | Agastya said, How can I succeed in cursing Nahusha, O great Rishi? |
Mbh.13.99.8920 | It is known to thee how the boon-giving Brahman himself has given Nahusha the best of boons! |
Mbh.13.99.8921 | Coming to heaven, the boon that Nahusha solicited was that whoever would come within the range of his vision would, deprived of all energy, come within his sway. |
Mbh.13.99.8923 | Without doubt, is for this reason that none else amongst the foremost of Rishis has been able to consume or hurl him down from his high position, Formerly, O Lord, nectar was given by Brahman to Nahusha for quaffing. |
Mbh.13.99.8925 | The supreme deity, it seems, gave that boon to Nahusha for plunging all creatures into grief. |
Mbh.13.99.8929 | Bhrigu said, It is at the command of the Grandsire that I have come to thee with the view of counteracting the puissance of Nahusha who is possessed of great energy but who has been stupefied by fate. |
Mbh.13.99.8932 | I shall today, in thy very sight, re-establish the true Indra in his position, him, viz, who has performed a hundred horse-sacrifices, having hurled the wicked-souled and sinful Nahusha from that seat! |
Mbh.13.99.8935 | In the very sight, O great ascetic, I shall today hurl down on the earth the wicked-souled Nahusha who shall be deprived of all energy in consequence of the cries of Fie' that will be uttered from all sides |
Mbh.13.99.8936 | Verily, I shall hurl down Nahusha today, that wight of unrighteous deeds, who has, besides, been stupefied by lordship and power. |
Mbh.13.100.8939 | SECTION C Yudhishthira said, How was Nahusha plunged into distress? |
Mbh.13.100.8944 | I have already told thee how Nahusha, when he first became the chief of the gods, acted in a becoming way. |
Mbh.13.100.8946 | The offering of light, and all other rites of a similar kind, the due presentation of Valis, and all rites as are performed on especially sacred days, all these were properly observed by the high-souled Nahusha who had become the sovereign of the deities |
Mbh.13.100.8958 | Filled with such ideas, Nahusha, that great king, when he obtained the sovereignty of the deities, observed all these rites and duties fraught with great glory. |
Mbh.13.100.8959 | Some time after the good fortune of Nahusha waned, and as the consequence thereof, he disregarded all these observances and began to act in defiance of all restraints in the manner I have already adverted to. |
Mbh.13.100.8962 | It was at this time that Nahusha yoked that foremost of Rishis, viz, Agastya, to his car. |
Mbh.13.100.8963 | Endued with great strength, Nahusha, smiling the while, set that great Rishi quickly to the task, commanding him to bear the vehicle from the banks of the Saraswati to the place he would indicate. |
Mbh.13.100.8965 | Having said this, Bhrigu of unfading glory and mighty energy entered into the matted locks of Agastya who stood still like a wooden post for hurling king Nahusha from the throne of Heaven. |
Mbh.13.100.8966 | Soon after Nahusha saw Agastya approach him for bearing his vehicle. |
Mbh.13.100.8970 | Thus addressed by him, Nahusha caused the ascetic to be yoked to his vehicle. |
Mbh.13.100.8971 | Bhrigu, who was staying within the matted locks of Agastya, became highly pleased at this act of Nahusha. |
Mbh.13.100.8972 | He took care not to cast his eyes upon Nahusha. |
Mbh.13.100.8973 | Fully acquainted with the energy which the illustrious Nahusha had acquired in consequence of the boon which Brahman had granted him, Bhrigu conducted himself in this way. |
Mbh.13.100.8974 | Agastya also, though treated by Nahusha in this way, did not give way to wrath. |
Mbh.13.100.8975 | Then, O Bharata, king Nahusha urged Agastya on with, his goad. |
Mbh.13.100.8978 | When the Rishi was thus struck on the head, Bhrigu, who was staying within Agastya's matted locks, became incensed and cursed Nahusha of sinful soul, saying, Since thou hast struck with thy foot on the head of this great Rishi, do thou, therefore, fall down on the earth, transformed into a snake, O wretch of wicked understanding' |
Mbh.13.100.8980 | Nahusha immediately became transformed into a snake and fell down on the earth, O chief of Bharata's race! |
Mbh.13.100.8981 | If O monarch, Nahusha had seen Bhrigu, the latter would not then have succeeded, by his energy, in hurling the former down on the earth. |
Mbh.13.100.8982 | In consequence of the various gifts that Nahusha had made, as also his penances and religious observances though hurled down on the earth, O king, he succeeded in retaining his memory. |
Mbh.13.100.8984 | Agastya also, filled with compassion, joined Nahusha in pacifying Bhrigu for bringing about an end of the course. |
Mbh.13.100.8985 | At last Bhrigu felt compassion for Nahusha and provided' for the working out of the course' |
Mbh.13.100.8988 | Having said this, the Rishi vanished in the very sight of Nahusha. |
Mbh.13.100.8990 | Thou hast, O king, rescued Nahusha from Bhrigu's curse. |
Mbh.13.100.8992 | As regards Bhrigu, having hurled Nahusha on the earth, he went to the region of Brahman and informed the Grandsire of it. |
Mbh.13.100.8994 | Ye deities, through the boon I had granted him, Nahusha had obtained the sovereignty of heaven. |
Mbh.13.100.9001 | Even this is what occurred in days of yore through the transgression of Nahusha. |
Mbh.13.100.9002 | In consequence, however, of the merits he had acquired through acts of the kind I have mentioned Nahusha succeeded in once more regaining his lost position. |
Mbh.13.115.10347 | They were Nabhaga and Amvarisha and the high-souled Gaya and Ayu and Anaranya and Dilipa and Raghu and Puru and Kartavirya and Aniruddha and Nahusha and Yayati and Nrigas and Vishwaksena and Sasavindu and Yuvanaswa and Sivi, the son of Usinara, and Muchukunda and Mandhatri, and Harischandra. |
Mbh.13.147.12309 | From Ayu will spring Nahusha, and Nahusha will beget a son named Yayati. |
Mbh.13.165.13709 | They are Nriga, Yayati, Nahusha, Yadu, Puru of great energy, Sagara, Dhundhumara, Dilipa of great prowess, Krisaswa, Yauvanaswa, Chitraswa, Satyavat, Dushmanta, Bharata who became an illustrious Emperor over many kings, Yavana, Janaka, Dhrishtaratha, Raghu, that foremost of kings, Dasaratha, the heroic Rama, that slayer of Rakshasas, Sasavindu. |
