Parikshit - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.1.11	Sauti said, Having heard the diverse sacred and wonderful stories which were composed in his Mahabharata by Krishna-Dwaipayana, and which were recited in full by Vaisampayana at the Snake-sacrifice of the high-souled royal sage Janamejaya and in the presence also of that chief of Princes, the son of Parikshit, and having wandered about, visiting many sacred waters and holy shrines, I journeyed to the country venerated by the Dwijas twice-born and called Samantapanchaka where formerly was fought the battle between the children of Kuru and Pandu, and all the chiefs of the land ranged on either side.
Mbh.1.2.521	Then is described the discovery by the Pandavas of golden treasuries; and then the birth of Parikshit who was revived by Krishna after having been burnt by the celestial weapon of Aswatthaman.
Mbh.1.3.592	SECTION III Paushya Parva Sauti said, Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit, was, with his brothers, attending his long sacrifice on the plains of Kurukshetra.
Mbh.1.3.608	One day Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit, while a-hunting, observed in a particular part of his dominions a hermitage where dwelt a certain Rishi of fame, Srutasrava.
Mbh.1.3.610	Being desirous of appointing that son of the Rishi as his Purohita, Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit, saluted the Rishi and addressed him, saying, O possessor of the six attributes, let this thy son be my purohita'
Mbh.1.40.2122	Afterwards, once upon a time, there was a king, O Brahmana, of the name of Parikshit, born in the race of the Kauravas.
Mbh.1.40.2126	No deer that was pierced by Parikshit had ever escaped in the wood with life.
Mbh.1.40.2128	And the deer that Parikshit, that king of men, had pierced was lost to his gaze and drew the monarch far away into the forest.
Mbh.1.40.2130	And approaching him hastily, the monarch, hungry and fatigued, and raising his bow, asked that Muni of rigid vows, saying, O Brahmana, I am king Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu.
Mbh.1.41.2152	And Krisa replied, Even as king Parikshit was roving, for purpose of hunting, O dear one, he placed the dead snake on the shoulder of thy sire'
Mbh.1.41.2155	And Krisa answered, King Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, while hunting, had wounded a fleet stag with an arrow and chased it alone.
Mbh.1.41.2169	And he shed tears of grief, and addressed his sire, saying, Father, having been informed of this thy disgrace at the hands of that wicked wretch, king Parikshit, I have from anger even cursed him; and that worst of Kurus hath richly deserved my potent curse.
Mbh.1.41.2180	And Parikshit like unto his great-grandsire, protecteth us as a king should protect his subjects.
Mbh.1.42.2210	Sauti continued, And that great ascetic, observer of vows, moved by kindness, sent with proper instructions a disciple of his to king Parikshit.
Mbh.1.42.2241	And Kasyapa, thus addressed, replied, Takshaka, by his poison, will today burn king Parikshit of the Kuru race, that oppressor of all enemies.
Mbh.1.49.2496	Sauti said, O Brahmana, hear all that the king asked his ministers, and all that they said about the death of Parikshit'
Mbh.1.49.2515	And, therefore, the mighty son of Abhimanyu came to be called Parikshit born in an extinct line.
Mbh.1.50.2570	Kasyapa replied, saying, O Brahmana, I am going whither king Parikshit, that best of the Kurus, is.
Mbh.1.51.2621	And that lord of the Earth, that tiger of the Bharata race, the son of Parikshit, then called his priest and Ritwiks.
Mbh.1.53.2659	Kohala Devasarman, Maudgalya, Samasaurava, and many other Brahmanas who had got through the Vedas became the Sadasyas at that sacrifice of the son of Parikshit.
Mbh.1.53.2677	This sacrifice of the son of Parikshit is for the extermination of our race.
Mbh.1.55.2726	But thy sacrifice, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit, is not inferior to any of those.
Mbh.1.55.2729	But this sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit, is fully equal to ten thousand sacrifices of Sakra.
Mbh.1.55.2731	Like the sacrifice of Yama, of Harimedha, or of king Rantideva, is the sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit.
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.1.55.2736	O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit, let those dear unto us be blessed!
Mbh.1.55.2737	Like the sacrifice of Krishna Dwaipayana, the son of Satyavati, in which he himself was the chief priest, is this sacrifice of thine, O foremost one of Bharata's race, O son of Parikshit Let those dear unto us be blessed!
Mbh.1.56.2799	O Brahmana, the son of Parikshit, being thus addressed by Astika, became exceedingly sorry and replied unto Astika thus, O illustrious one, gold, silver, kine, whatever other possessions thou desirest I shall give unto thee.
Mbh.1.56.2803	Sauti continued, The son of Parikshit, being thus addressed by Astika, repeatedly said this unto that foremost of speakers, Best of the Brahmanas, ask some other boon.
Mbh.1.58.2837	Thus the sacrifice of the son of Parikshit, that king of the Pandava race, came to an end.
Mbh.1.62.3023	O son of Parikshit, this pleasant narration that giveth virtue and victory I am about to recite in its entirety: listen to it.
Mbh.1.94.5202	And Avikshit begat Parikshit the powerful, Savalaswa, Adhiraja, Viraja, Salmali of great physical strength, Uchaihsravas, Bhangakara and Jitari the eighth.
Mbh.1.94.5204	And unto Parikshit were born sons who were all acquainted with the secrets of religion and profit.
Mbh.1.95.5281	And of her was born a son named Parikshit, who took for his wife Suvasa, the daughter of the Vahudas, and begat upon her a son named Bhimasena.
Mbh.1.95.5354	And after reviving him, Vasudeva said, Because this child hath been born in an extinct race, therefore, he shall be called Parikshit.
Mbh.1.95.5355	And Parikshit married Madravati, thy mother, O king, and thou art born to her, O Janamejaya!
Mbh.3.118.6047	And O son of Parikshit!
Mbh.3.191.9691	And Markandeya continued, There was a king, by name Parikshit in Ayodhya and belonging to the race of Ikshvaku.
Mbh.3.191.9692	And once upon a time Parikshit went a-hunting.
Mbh.3.191.9702	Thou wilt never make me cast my eyes on water, and the king saying, So be it' married her, and king Parikshit having married her sported with her in great joy, and sat with her in silence, and while the king was staying there, his troops reached the spot, and those troops beholding the monarch stood surrounding him, and cheered by the presence of troops, the king entered a handsome vehicle accompanied by his newly wedded wife.
Mbh.3.191.9716	And accordingly when frogs began to be terribly slaughtered, the affrighted frogs represented all that had happened unto their king, and the king of the frogs assuming the garb of an ascetic came before the king Parikshit, and having approached the monarch, he said, O king, give not thyself up to wrath!
Mbh.3.191.9726	Then king Parikshit whose soul was filled with woe on account of the death of her that was dear to him, answered the chief of the frogs who had spoken to him thus, I will not forgive the frogs.
Mbh.3.191.9731	And hearing these words of Parikshit, the king of the frogs with his senses and mind much pained said, Be inclined to grace, O king!
Mbh.3.191.9738	The king of the frogs thereupon bestowed his daughter upon Parikshit, and addressing her said, Wait upon and serve the king'
Mbh.10.16.982	This thy son for that reason, will be called by the name of Parikshit
Mbh.10.16.983	The words of that pious man shall become true: the Pandavas shall have a son called Parikshit.
Mbh.10.16.997	The heroic Parikshit, attaining to age and a knowledge of the Vedas and the practice of pious vows, shall obtain all weapons from the son of Sharadvata.
Mbh.10.16.999	More than this, that boy shall become the mighty-armed king of the Kurus, known by the name of Parikshit, before thy very eyes, O thou of wicked soul!
Mbh.12.149.8897	There was in days of yore, a king possessed of great energy, called Janamejaya, who was the son of Parikshit.
Mbh.12.343.22735	Sauti said, During the continuance of his snake-sacrifice, Janamejaya, the royal son of Parikshit, availing himself of an interval in the sacrificial rites, and when all the learned Brahmanas were resting.
Mbh.12.347.22990	Sauti said, I shall recite to thee that ancient history, which is perfectly consistent with the Vedas, and which the illustrious Vaisampayana recited unto the son of Parikshit on the occasion of the great Snake-sacrifice.
