Mbh.3.144.7328 | And by the side of it, they beheld the hermitage of Nara and Narayana, with celestial trees bearing flowers and fruits in all seasons. |
Mbh.3.144.7334 | Then in company with those bulls among the twice-born ones, the Pandavas beheld that romantic asylum presided over by Nara and Narayana; devoid of gloom; and sacred; and untouched by the solar rays; and free from those rubs, viz hunger, and thirst, heat and cold, and removing all sorrow; and crowded with hosts of mighty sages; and adorned with the grace proceeding from the Vedas, Saman, Rich, and Yajus; and, O king, inaccessible to men who have renounced religion; and beautified with offerings, and homas; and sacred; and well-swept and daubed; and shining all around with offerings of celestial blossoms; and spread over with altars of sacrificial fire, and sacred ladles and pots; and graced with large water-jars, and baskets and the refuge of all beings; and echoing with the chanting of the Vedas; and heavenly: and worthy of being inhabited; and removing fatigue; and attended with splendour and of incomprehensible merit; and majestic with divine qualities. |

Mbh.3.155.7829 | By this very way, do thou repair from this region of Kuvera to the place whence thou hadst come even to the hermitage of Nara and Narayana, known by the name of Vadari. |
Mbh.3.155.7837 | And having returned to the hermitage of Nara and Narayana, he began to dwell pleasantly, surrounded by Bhimasena and his other brothers, Panchali the Brahmanas |
Mbh.3.188.9445 | In ancient times I called the waters by the name of Nara; and because the waters have ever been my ayana or home, therefore have I been called Narayana the water-homed. |
Mbh.3.270.13160 | The heroic Arjuna, with mighty arms, is the god incarnate styled Nara. |
Mbh.3.270.13175 | Water was created by the Rishi Nara, and it formed his corpus; therefore do we hear it styled as Nara. |

Mbh.5.1.3 | HAVING BOWED down to Narayana, and Nara the most exalted of male beings, and also to the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.5.49.2791 | Just then, the two ancient deities, the Rishis Nara and Narayana, as if drawing unto themselves by their own energy the minds and energies of all who were present there, left the place' |
Mbh.5.49.2794 | Thus asked, Brahma said, These two, endued with ascetic merit, blazing with effulgence and beauty, illuminating both the earth and the heaven, possessed of great might, and pervading and surpassing all, are Nara and Narayana, dwelling now in the region of Brahman having arrived from the other world. |
Mbh.5.49.2805 | The chastiser of foes, Nara, slew in battle hundreds and thousands of Indra's foes among the Paulomas and the Kalakhanjas. |
Mbh.5.49.2811 | It hath been heard by us that the two heroic and mighty car-warriors, Vasudeva and Arjuna, that are now united with each other, are those same ancient gods, the divine Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.5.49.2813 | That Narayana is Krishna, and that Nara is Falguna. |
Mbh.5.96.4544 | And the Brahmanas answered him, saying, It had been heard by us that those two persons are ascetics called Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.5.96.4547 | It is that illustrious pair, Nara and Narayana, who are now practising the severest of penances in some hidden region of the mountains of Gandhamadana' |
Mbh.5.96.4559 | Thus addressed, Nara and Narayana said, O best of kings, wrath and covetousness have no place in this retreat. |
Mbh.5.96.4567 | Nara, then, O Bharata, taking up a handful of grass-blades, said, Desirous of battle as thou art, come, O Kshatriya, and fight! |
Mbh.5.96.4576 | Ever inclined to grant protection unto those that sought it, Nara then, O king, said unto that monarch, Be obedient to the Brahmanas and be virtuous. |
Mbh.5.96.4586 | Great indeed, was that feat achieved of old by Nara. |
Mbh.5.96.4587 | Narayana, again, became superior to Nara in consequence of many more qualities. |
Mbh.5.96.4597 | They that were Nara and Narayana in days of yore are now Arjuna and Kesava. |
Mbh.5.97.4606 | Those illustrious Rishis, Nara and Narayana, are of the same character. |
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.5.111.5091 | None else, O bull among Brahmanas, save the divine Narayana, and the eternal Nara called also Jishnu, succeeded in passing beyond the point so guarded. |
Mbh.6.1.3 | HAVING BOWED down to Narayana, and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and also to the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya' be uttered. |
Mbh.6.6.379 | There Nara and Narayana, Brahman, and Manu, and Sthanu as the fifth, are ever present. |
Mbh.6.8.485 | It is Nara and Narayana, endued with omniscience, that destroyeth all creatures |
Mbh.6.23.1050 | Thy wicked sons, however, all entangled in the meshes of death, do not, from ignorance, know them to be Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.6.66.3631 | Indeed, the illustrious and mighty Lord, taking birth in the human womb, will live on the Earth, accompanied by Nara. |
Mbh.6.66.3632 | Those ancient and best of Rishis, viz, Nara and Narayana, are incapable of defeat in battle by even all the celestials united together. |
Mbh.6.66.3633 | Of immeasurable effulgence, those Rishis viz, Nara and Narayana, when born together in the world of men, will not be known as such by fools. |
Mbh.6.66.3654 | It is for this that thou hatest Govinda and Dhananjaya the son of Pandu, for who else among men would hate the divine Nara and Narayana? |
Mbh.6.68.3722 | Then, O monarch, Bhishma the son of Santanu once more addressed thy son, saying, Thou hast now heard truly, O king, about the glory of the high-souled Kesava and of Nara about which thou hadst asked me. |
Mbh.6.68.3723 | Thou hast also heard about the object for which both Nara and Narayana have taken their births among men. |
Mbh.6.68.3728 | By disregarding the divine Nara and Narayana, thou shalt certainly be destroyed. |
Mbh.7.1.3 | HAVING BOWED down unto Narayan, and unto that most exalted of male beings, viz, Nara, and unto the goddess Saraswati also, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.7.11.441 | They are even Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.7.75.3261 | Understanding that both Nara and Narayana were in rage, the gods with Vasava became very anxious thinking, What will come of it' |
Mbh.7.78.3469 | Beholding those two, viz, Nara and Narayana arrived, Bhava of cheerful soul, smilingly said unto them, Welcome are ye, ye foremost of men! |
Mbh.7.79.3511 | And then accompanied by all the attendants of Siva, those two heroes set out for that celestial lake which possessed hundreds of heavenly wonders, that sacred lake, capable of granting every object, which the god, having the bull for his mark, had indicated to them, And unto that lake, the Rishis Nara and Narayana viz, Arjuna and Vasudeva went fearlessly. |
Mbh.7.86.3798 | Then, like the Destroyer himself in wrath, or Vasava himself armed with the thunder, or Death's irresistible self armed with his club and urged on by Time, or Mahadeva armed with the trident and incapable of being ruffled, or Varuna bearing his noise, or the blazing fire at the end of the Yuga risen for consuming the creation, the slayer of the Nivatakavachas inflamed with rage and swelling with might, the ever-victorious Jaya, devoted to truth and desirous of achieving his great vow, clad in mail and armed with sword, decked in golden diadem, adorned with garlands of swords of white flowers and attired in white robes, his arms decked with beautiful Angadas and ears with excellent ear-rings, mounted on his own foremost of cars, the incarnate Nara, accompanied by Narayana, shaking his Gandiva in battle, shone brilliantly like the risen sun. |
Mbh.7.198.11067 | Then Nara and Narayana, for the pacification of Narayana weapon, began forcibly to drag Bhima and all his weapons. |
Mbh.7.198.11316 | From Narayana's asceticism was born a great Muni of the name of Nara, equal to Narayana himself. |
Mbh.7.198.11317 | Know that Arjuna is none else than that Nara. |
Mbh.8.1.2 | Having bowed down unto Narayana, and unto that most exalted of male beings, Nara, and unto the goddess Sarasvati also, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.8.16.656 | These two heroes the foremost of all creatures are Nara and Narayana |
Mbh.8.17.697 | The two Krishnas Nara and Narayana, also deeply afflicted by Ashvatthama with hundreds of arrows, looked like two Suns at the end of the Yuga, resplendent with their own rays. |
Mbh.8.87.5339 | These two are Nara and Narayana, the two ancient and best of Rishis. |
Mbh.8.96.6125 | Then that chief of Kuru's race, that righteous son of Pritha, taking hold of Keshava's right arm adorned with Angadas, and addressing both Keshava and Arjuna, said, Narada told me that ye two are the gods Nara and Narayana, those ancient and best of Rishis, that are ever employed in the preservation of righteousness. |
Mbh.9.1.3 | Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and the goddess Sarasvati, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.10.1.3 | Having bowed down unto Narayana, and Nara the most exalted of male beings, and unto the goddess Sarasvati, must the word Jaya be uttered! |
Mbh.11.1.3 | Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the foremost of male beings, and unto the goddess Sarasvati, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.12.1.3 | HAVING BOWED down to Narayana, and Nara, the foremost of male beings, and unto the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. |
Mbh.12.126.7180 | SECTION CXXVII Bhishma said, Then that best of Rishis, viz, the regenerate Rishabha, sitting in the midst of all those Rishis, smiled a little and said these words: Formerly, O tiger among kings, while travelling among sacred places, I arrived, O lord, at the beautiful asylum of Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.12.126.7184 | Within that retreat the Rishis Nara and Narayana always pass their time in true pleasure |
Mbh.12.279.17182 | Some say that that is the region of Mahadeva; some, of Vishnu; some, of Brahman; some, of Sesha; some, of Nara; some, of the effulgent Chit; and some, of the All-pervading |
Mbh.12.317.19755 | If through the neck, the man repairs to the excellent region of that foremost of ascetics known by the name of Nara. |
Mbh.12.334.21343 | I heard it from my sire that in the Krita age, O monarch, during the epoch of the Self-born Manu, the eternal Narayana, the Soul of the universe, took birth as the son of Dharma in a quadruple form, viz, as Nara, Narayana, Hari, and the Self-create Krishna |
Mbh.12.334.21344 | Amongst them all, Narayana and Nara underwent the severest austerities by repairing to the Himalayan retreat known by the name of Vadari, by riding on their golden ears. |
Mbh.12.334.21356 | How wonderful it is that Dharma has thus been honoured by these four great deities viz, Nara, Narayana, and Hari and Krishna! |
Mbh.12.334.21358 | The other two, however, viz, Nara and Narayana, are now dwelling here engaged in penances for the object of enhancing their merit. |
Mbh.12.339.21952 | People will call me and Arjuna as Narayana and Nara, when, endued with puissance, we two, exerting our strength, shall consume a large number of Kshatriyas, for doing good to the world. |
Mbh.12.339.21964 | Narada also, endued with great energy, having obtained the high favour that he had solicited, then proceeded with great speed to the retreat called Vadari, for beholding Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.12.341.22287 | Thyself, O son of Kunti, and myself are known as Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.12.341.22293 | The waters have been called by the name of Nara, for they sprang from Him called Nara. |
Mbh.12.342.22668 | I took birth in two forms, viz, as Nara and Narayana. |
Mbh.12.342.22673 | That dart, having consumed all the preparations of Daksha's sacrifice, came with great force towards us Nara and Narayana at the retreat of Vadari. |
Mbh.12.342.22678 | At this, Rudra became highly angry and as the result thereof he rushed towards the Rishis Nara and Narayana, endued with the puissance of severe austerities. |
Mbh.12.342.22682 | Meanwhile Nara, for the purpose of destroying Rudra, took up a blade of grass, and inspired it with Mantras. |
Mbh.12.342.22684 | Nara suddenly hurled that battle-axe at Rudra but it broke into pieces. |
Mbh.12.342.22701 | This Nara and Narayana the displayed forms of Supreme Brahman have taken birth in the race of Dharma. |
Mbh.12.342.22715 | Having mutually caused such marks on each other's person, the two Rishis Nara and Narayana thus made friends with Rudra. |
Mbh.12.343.22733 | When, however, the celestial Rishi Narada had succeeded in obtaining a sight of the Supreme Lord of the universe, a residing in the form of Aniruddha, why did he again proceed so quickly to the retreat of Vadari on the breast of Himavat for beholding those two foremost of godly of Rishis viz, Nara and Narayana? |
Mbh.12.343.22738 | Arrived at the retreat known by the name of Vadari on the breast of the Himvat mountains, and seeing the two Rishis Nara and Narayana who were engaged in severe austerities at that spot, how long did Narada dwell there and what were the topics of conversation between him and the two Rishis? |
Mbh.12.343.22756 | Having beheld Narayana in that form, why did Narada hasten once more to the retreat of Vadari for the purpose of beholding Nara and Narayana? |
Mbh.12.343.22758 | How long also did Narada the son of Pramesthi, after his return from White Island and arrival at Vadari and meeting with the two Rishis Nara and Narayana, live there, and what conversations had he with them? |
Mbh.12.343.22771 | There he beheld those ancient deities, viz, those two foremost of Rishis, called Nara and Narayana, engaged in the practice of penances, observing high vows, and devoted to the worship of their own selves. |
Mbh.12.343.22793 | Nara and Narayana said, Hast thou seen in white Island the Paramatma Supreme Soul, who is eternal and divine, and who is the high source whence we have sprung' |
Mbh.12.344.22830 | SECTION CCCXLV Nara and Narayana said, Deserving art thou of the highest praise, and highly favoured hast thou been, since thou hast beheld the puissant Narayana himself in the form of Aniruddha. |
Mbh.12.344.22869 | Vaisampayana continued, Having heard these words of Nara and Narayana both of whom were engaged in the practice of the austerest penances, the celestial Rishi Narada joined his hands in reverence and became entirely devoted to Narayana. |
Mbh.12.344.22871 | Worshipping the Supreme Deity Narayana, and adoring those two ancient Rishis also that had taken birth in the house of Dharma, the illustrious Rishi Narada, endued with great energy, continued to reside, thus employed, in that retreat, called Vadari, on the breast of Himavat, belonging to Nara and Narayana, for a thousand years as measured by the standard of the celestials |
Mbh.12.345.22872 | SECTION CCCXLVI Vaisampayana said, On one occasion, while residing in the retreat of Nara and Narayana, Narada the son of Pramesthi, having duly accomplished the rites and observances in honour of the deities, set himself to perform thereafter the rites in honour of the Pitris. |
Mbh.12.345.22873 | Beholding him thus prepared, the eldest son of Dharma, viz, the puissant Nara addressed him, saying, Whom art thou worshipping, O foremost of regenerate persons, by these rites and observances in connection with the deities and the Pitris? |
Mbh.12.345.22893 | Nara and Narayana said, The Earth, in days of yore, with her belt of seas, disappeared from the view. |
Mbh.12.346.22922 | SECTION CCCXLVII Vaisampayana said, Having heard these words of Nara and Narayana, the Rishi Narada became filled with devotion towards the Supreme Being. |
Mbh.12.346.22924 | Having resided for a full thousand years in the retreat of Nara and Narayana, having beheld the immutable Hari, and heard the excellent discourse having Narayana for its topic, the celestial Rishi repaired to his own retreat on the breast of Himavat, Those foremost of ascetics viz, Nara and Narayana, however continued to reside in their delightful retreat of Vadari, engaged in the practice of the severest austerities. |
Mbh.12.347.22978 | I have heard also of the birth of the Supreme Deity in the house of Dharma, in the form of Nara and Narayana. |
