Prishata S

Mbh.1.140.7451	But the mighty bowman, Prishata's son, invincible in battle, though very much pierced with the arrows of the enemy, instantly began, O Bharata, to afflict the hostile ranks with greater vigour.
Mbh.1.168.8597	And that bull amongst Kshatriyas, Prishata's son, going every day to that asylum of Bharadwaja, played and studied with Drona.
Mbh.1.168.8598	And after Prishata's death, Drupada succeeded him on the throne.
Mbh.1.171.8734	The faultless Krishna of Prishata's line hath been appointed to be the wife of you all.
Mbh.1.197.9808	The Pandavas and Kunti and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race sat there, waiting for the return of Vyasa and Drupada.
Mbh.1.198.9901	Indeed, the faultless Krishna sprung from Prishata's race hath been pre-ordained to become the common wife of five husbands.
Mbh.1.206.10179	They who have Drupada for their father-in-law, and Drupada's sons, the heroic brothers, viz, Dhristadyumna and others of Prishata's race for their brothers-in-law, are certainly invincible.
Mbh.2.67.2941	Else, how is it that the chaste wife of the Pandavas, the sister of Prishata's son, the friend of Vasudeva, is brought before this assembly?
Mbh.5.126.5592	As yet Nakula, and Sahadeva, Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and Virata, and Sikhandin, and Sisupal's son, accoutred in mail and all well-versed in arms, do not penetrate thy ranks, like huge crocodiles penetrating the deep, and pour their arrowy showers, so let hostility cease.
Mbh.5.152.6806	And in the van of that host marched Bhimasena, and the two sons of Madri encased in their coats of mail, and Subhadra's son and the five sons of Draupadi and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race.
Mbh.5.153.6828	And Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race and that mighty car-warrior of great energy, viz, Yuyudhana, otherwise called Satyaki, measured the ground for the encampment.
Mbh.5.161.7246	It was she, the daughter to Prishata's house, that delivered you all, sunk in slavery, engaged in occupations worthy only of the low, and working as servitors.
Mbh.5.162.7311	It was she, the daughter of Prishata's house, that delivered you all, sunk in slavery, engaged in occupations worthy only of the low, and working as servitors!
Mbh.5.192.8580	If it pleases thee, O king, I will speak, and listen to my words, and, O son of Prishata's race, having listened to me, follow thy own inclination!
Mbh.5.195.8758	And his brother Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race also obtained the same.
Mbh.5.197.8819	Thou hast for thy allies Sikhandin, and Yuyudhana and Dhristadyumna of Prishata's race; and Bhimasena, and these twins, and Yudhamanyu, and Uttamaujas, and Virata and Drupada who are equal in battle unto Bhishma and Drona; and the mighty-armed Sankha, and Hidimva's son of great might; and this latter's son Anjanparvan endued with great strength and prowess; and Sini's descendant of mighty arms and well-versed in battle, and the mighty Abhimanyu and the five sons of Draupadi!
Mbh.6.44.2176	And the five sons of Draupadi, and the mighty car-warrior Saubhadra and Nakula, and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, rushed against those Dhartarashtras, tearing them with whetted shafts like summits of mountains with the impetuous bolts of heaven.
Mbh.6.47.2376	And those were Virata with his son, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and Bhima, the five Kekaya brothers, and Satyaki also, O king.
Mbh.6.48.2516	They were Satyaki, and Bhimasena, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race; and the five Kekaya brothers, and Dhrishtaketu and Abhimanyu of great energy.
Mbh.6.50.2628	I also am employed in doing thee good, as also that mighty car-warrior Satyaki and Virata and Drupada, both reverend in years, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's line.
Mbh.6.50.2630	This mighty car-warrior Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race placed in command of thy army is always desirous of thy welfare and engaged in doing that which is agreeable to thee, as also this Sikhandin, O thou of mighty arms, who is certainly the slayer of Bhishma.
Mbh.6.50.2631	Hearing these words, the king Yudhishthira, said, unto that mighty car-warrior Dhrishtadyumna, in that very assembly and in the hearing of Vasudeva, these words, O Dhrishtadyumna, mark these words that I say unto thee, O thou of Prishata's line.
Mbh.6.52.2686	And when the battle began in this way, the venerable Kuru grandsire, the mighty-armed Bhishma of terrible prowess, cased in mail, taking up his bow, and approaching them, showered an arrowy downpour on the heroic son of Subhadra, and the mighty car-warrior Arjuna, and the ruler of the Kekayas and Virata, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, as also upon the Chedi and the Matsya warriors.
Mbh.6.52.2705	And then Satyaki, and Virata and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and the sons of Draupadi, and Abhimanyu, all surrounded him, proceeding to his support.
Mbh.6.53.2756	SECTION LIII Dhritarashtra said, Tell me, O Sanjaya, how that great bowman Drona and the Panchala prince of Prishata's race encounter each other in battle, each striving his best.
Mbh.6.53.2765	And he took up a dreadful arrow for the destruction of Prishata's son whose force resembled that of Sakra's bolt and which was like a second rod of death.
Mbh.6.53.2777	By the lightness of his car's motion, he baffled that mace decked with gold, and having baffled it, he shot at Prishata's son many shafts of sharp edge, well-tempered, furnished with golden wings, and whetted on stone.
Mbh.6.53.2778	And these, penetrating through Prishata's coat of mail, drank his blood in that battle.
Mbh.6.53.2790	Then wonderful was the prowess that we behold of Bharadwaja's son, and his lightness of hand in the use of weapons, as also the strength of his arms, O Bharata, in as much as, alone, he checked Prishata's son with a shower of arrows.
Mbh.6.53.2794	And he pierced Drona, O king, with seven sharp-pointed arrows, and speedily caused Prishata's son to be taken up on another car.
Mbh.6.54.2902	And that bull among men, the grand son of Sini, that foremost of victorious warriors, quickly advancing to the spot took up the wing of both Bhima and Prishata's son.
Mbh.6.54.2908	Thereupon, Satyaki and Bhimasena and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, rushed towards that car of Bhima decked with gold.
Mbh.6.58.3054	And Prishata's son Dhrishtadyumna, that foremost of warriors, and Pandu's son king Yudhishthira, the just, in the very sight, O Bharata, of both Drona and Ganga's son, slew their army with sharp shafts capable of slaying hostile forces.
Mbh.6.61.3321	And the Pandavas, soldiers and Dhrishtadyumna also of Prishata's race beheld him coming like a wave and resembling a snake fallen from the skies.
Mbh.6.61.3329	Then that slayer of hostile heroes Samyamani, excited with wrath, struck Prishata's son with three shafts like the conductor of an elephant striking a mighty elephant with hooks.
Mbh.6.62.3341	And then we beheld the prowess of Prishata's son to be highly wonderful inasmuch as he speedily checked Salya that ornament of assemblies.
Mbh.6.62.3351	of Prishata's race, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Abhimanyu, and the twin sons of Madri and Pandu, these ten opposed those ten warriors of the Dhritarashtra army shooting, O king, diverse kinds of weapons.
Mbh.6.62.3359	Then, O great king, that scorcher of foes, viz, Prishata's son, pierced each of them in return with five and twenty shafts, displaying his lightness of hand.
Mbh.6.62.3372	Then the sons of Draupadi, and that mighty car-warrior, the son of Subhadra, and Nakula and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, protecting Bhima's rear, rushed behind him, checking all by scattering their arrowy showers like the very clouds pouring rain on the mountain breast.
Mbh.6.63.3403	And in that dreadful, fierce, and terrific encounter his brother and sons and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and the sons of Draupadi and Abhimanyu, and the unvanquished Sikhandin, these mighty warriors, did not abandon him from fear.
Mbh.6.69.3741	And in its two eyes were the invincible Sikhandin and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race.
Mbh.6.77.4062	Hearing these words of Visoka, Prishata's son Dhrishtadyumna, endued with great strength, said unto the charioteer these words on the field of battle.
Mbh.6.77.4096	Then thy sons those mighty car-warriors, when their senses returned, once more proceeded to battle with Bhima and Prishata's son.
Mbh.6.77.4097	Then Yudhishthira, addressing his own troops said, Let twelve brave car-warriors cased in mail and headed by Subhadra's son, follow, to the utmost of their might, the track of Bhima and Prishata's son in battle.
Mbh.6.77.4108	And that slayer of foes, viz, the valiant son of Bharadwaja, excited with rage, cut off with a broad-headed shaft the bow of Prishata's son who was rushing towards him with impetuosity.
Mbh.6.77.4109	And remembering the bread he had eaten of his master and desirous of doing good to Duryodhana, he also sped hundreds of shafts after Prishata's son.
Mbh.6.79.4134	Then the mighty car-warriors of thy army, including Duryodhana and others, beholding Abhimanyu and Bhimasena united with Prishata's son in the midst of the Kauravas troops, took up their bows, and borne by their fleet steeds rushed to the spot where those warriors were.
Mbh.6.87.4589	Hearing those loud cries, that couple of mighty car-warriors of thy army, viz, Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, quickly proceeded against Prishata's son.
Mbh.6.87.4590	And those mighty car-warriors, speedily slaying his steeds, together covered Prishata's son with showers of arrows.
Mbh.6.88.4628	And beholding that mighty array of thy forces, that great car-warrior Yudhishthira, speedily addressed the generalissimo of his forces, viz, Prishata's son saying, Behold, O great bowman, that array, already formed, resembling the ocean.
Mbh.6.112.6120	And similarly, O king, Prishata's son struck Kritavarman with nine sharp and blazing shaft, winged with the feathers of the Kanka bird.
Mbh.6.117.6387	Then Drona, O king, having cut off the large bow of Prishata's son, pierced him deeply with fifty arrows.
Mbh.6.119.6534	Then the king of the Panchalas the valiant Dhrishtaketu, Bhimasena the son of Pandu, Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, Chekitana, and the five Kaikaya brothers, and the mighty-armed Satyaki and Subhadra's son, and Ghatotkacha, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Sikhandin, and the valiant Kuntibhoja, and Susarman, and Virata, these and many other powerful warriors of the Pandava army, afflicted by the shafts of Bhishma, seemed to sink in an ocean of grief, Phalguni, however, rescued them all.
Mbh.6.119.6537	And Satyaki, and Chekitana, and Dhristadyumna of Prishata's race, and Virata, and Drupada, and the twin sons of Madri by Pandu, all protected by that firm bowman viz, Arjuna rushed against Bhishma alone in that battle.
Mbh.6.120.6558	He then pierced the six Pandava warriors, viz, Satyaki, and Bhima, and Dhananjaya the son of Pandu, and Drupada, and Virata, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, with many excellent arrows of great sharpness and dreadful whizz and exceeding impetuosity, and capable of piercing through every kind of armour.
Mbh.6.120.6567	They were Satyaki, and Bhimasena, and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and both Virata and Drupada, and the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, and the wrathful Abhimanyu.
Mbh.7.7.257	He then shot at Prishata's son a thick shower of arrows, like Maghavat excited with rage showering his arrows with great force upon the Danavas, Then the Pandavas and the Srinjayas, shaken by Drona with his shafts, repeatedly broke like a herd of inferior animals attacked by a lion.
Mbh.7.8.263	Thus addressed those mighty car-warriors, viz, Arjuna and Prishata's son, along with their followers, all received Drona as the latter came.
Mbh.7.9.304	How, indeed, O child, could Prishata's son, viz, Dhrishtadyumna the prince of the Panchalas, slay that hero incapable of being humiliated by enemies, who scattered thick showers of shafts furnished with wings of gold, and who was endued with great lightness of hand, that foremost of Brahmanas, who was accomplished in everything, acquainted with all modes of warfare, capable of shooting his shafts to a great distance, and self-restrained, who was possessed of great skill in the use of weapons and armed with celestial weapons, that mighty warrior, of unfading glory, who was always careful, and who achieved the fiercest feats in battle?
Mbh.7.9.325	Verily, Partha must have, with his straight shafts, checked all the other car-warriors, and then Prishata's son of sinful deeds must have surrounded Drona.
Mbh.7.9.336	How could Prishata's son, in the sight of the foremost of men, slay in battle that invincible warrior whose might was never humiliated and whose fame was never tarnished?
Mbh.7.13.535	And covering and obstructing all the points of the compass by means of his straight shafts, he began to crush the Pandava force even there, where Prishata's son was
Mbh.7.16.718	And with Bhima and Karna and Kripa and Drona and Drona's son and Prishata's son and Satyaki, the field of battle looked resplendent like the all-destructive sun that rises at the end of the Yuga.
Mbh.7.20.908	Then Yudhishthira, beholding that superhuman array incapable of being vanquished by foes in battle, addressed Prishata's son, saying, O lord, O thou that ownest steeds white as pigeons, let such measures be adopted that I may not be taken a prisoner by the Brahmana'
Mbh.7.20.917	Then Prishata's son, quickly covering Durmukha, with a shower of arrows, checked Bharadwaja's son also with a thick arrowy downpour.
Mbh.7.20.918	Beholding Drona checked, thy son Durmukha quickly rushed at Prishata's son and confounded him with clouds of arrows of diverse kinds.
Mbh.7.92.4221	Ourselves also, placing Drona, that foremost of all wielders of weapons, at our head, covered the Parthas, gathered by Prishata's son, with our shafts.
Mbh.7.92.4230	Indeed, as Drona showered his arrows on Prishata's son, even so did the latter shower his on Drona.
Mbh.7.92.4247	And thy host also, similarly slaughtered by Prishata's son, seemed to blaze up at every point like a dry forest on fire.
Mbh.7.108.5150	Prishata's son, with all his uterine brothers, and all the mighty kings, and the sons of Draupadi, will without doubt, protect me.
Mbh.7.108.5154	There where Prishata's son, that slayer of hostile heroes, will remain, there Drona will never be able to forcibly transgress our troops.
Mbh.7.119.5884	Both conversant with the ways of battle, they careered over the field, displaying diverse motions of their cars and mangling each other with their shafts, And Drona and Prishata's son, stupefying the mind of the warriors, shot showers of shafts like two mighty clouds pouring torrents of rain in the rainy season.
Mbh.7.153.8189	Within the twinkling of an eye, he destroyed, by means of his sharp shafts, a full Akshauhini of Rakshasa troops with steeds, drivers, cars, and elephants, in the very sight of Bhimasena and Hidimva's son and Prishata's son and the twins and Dharma's son and Vijaya and Achyuta
Mbh.7.157.8555	Thus addressed by Prishata's son in language so harsh and insulting that best of Brahmanas Aswatthaman mustered all his rage and answered, saying, Wait, Wait'
Mbh.7.157.8556	And he gazed at Prishata's son apparently burning him with his eyes.
Mbh.7.157.8562	Beholding that fierce battle, inspiring terror, between Drona's and Prishata's son, the Siddhas and Charanas and other sky-ranging beings applauded them highly.
Mbh.7.160.8663	And during the progress, O lord, of that terrible carnage of car-warriors and elephants and steeds and foot-soldiers, those heroes, viz, Drona and Karna and Kripa, and Bhima and Prishata's son and Satwata, afflicted one another and the troops of either party, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.7.170.9183	Thus afflicted by that illustrious hero, the Pandava host, that night, O king, fled away, throwing down their blazing torches all around, in the very sight of Bhimasena and Arjuna and Krishna and the twins and Yudhishthira and Prishata's son.
Mbh.7.171.9204	SECTION CLXXIII Sanjaya said, Then Karna, that slayer of hostile heroes, beholding Prishata's son in battle, struck him on the chest with ten shafts capable of penetrating into the very vitals.
Mbh.7.171.9216	Beholding Prishata's son vanquished in battle, those mighty car-warriors, viz, the Panchalas and the Somakas, excited with rage, and taking up all kinds of weapons, proceeded, making death itself their goal, towards Karna, from desire of slaughtering him.
Mbh.7.187.10261	Covered with the shafts of Prishata's son, O king, Duhsasana's car, with standard and driver, soon became invisible.
Mbh.7.189.10417	Beholding that blazing bow bent with force by Prishata's son, the troops regarded that to be the last hour of the world.
Mbh.7.189.10447	The movements of both Drona and Prishata's son in that battle resembled the fight of hawk careering through the welkin for a piece of meat.
Mbh.7.189.10451	Beholding his steeds slain by that foremost of Brahmanas, Prishata's sons, that mighty car-warrior, that foremost of fighters, could not brook it.
Mbh.7.189.10456	Armed with the sword, and shield in hand, Prishata's son wheeled about and whirled his sword on high, and made side thrusts, and rushed forward, and ran sideways, and leapt high, and assailed the flanks of his antagonists and receded backwards, and closed with his foes, and pressed them hard.
Mbh.7.190.10496	Beholding Prishata's son, again, before him, and bearing in mind the words of the Rishis about his leaving the world for heaven, he became cheerless.
Mbh.7.190.10546	As regards Prishata's son, though everybody cried fie on him, yet casting his eyes on the lifeless Drona's head, he began to drag it.
Mbh.7.191.10644	Then Prishata's son, seizing Drona's head with his left hand and disregarding the loud admonitions of all the heroes, cut off that head'
Mbh.7.191.10646	Similarly, Arjuna also, jumping down from his car, quickly ran towards Prishata's son, with arms upraised and repeatedly saying, O thou that art acquainted with the ways of morality, do not slay the preceptor but bring him alive'
Mbh.7.193.10709	Neither Vibhatsu, nor Janardana, nor Bhimasena, nor Nakula, nor Sahadeva, nor king Yudhishthira, nor Prishata's wicked-souled son Dhrishtadyumna, nor Sikhandin, nor Satyaki, O Kauravya, knoweth that weapon which I have, along with the mantras, for hurting and withdrawing it.
Mbh.7.194.10778	Prishata's son, by an exceedingly cruel act, assailed Drona and took his life as if the latter was without a preceptor.
Mbh.7.194.10791	All of us, uniting together, shall not be able to protect Prishata's son today, who will be assailed by the preceptor's son in wrath and grief.
Mbh.7.196.10889	Arjuna, however, casting oblique glances upon Prishata's son, seemed, with tears and sighs, to reproach him, saying, Fie, fie'
Mbh.7.196.10915	Thus rebuked by the Satwata hero, Prishata's son, filled with rage, smilingly addressed the angry Satyaki in these harsh words'
Mbh.7.196.10972	Forgive the son of Prishata, and let Prishata's son also forgive thee.
Mbh.7.198.11209	Even Prishata's son, that slayer of Drona, will quell thy pride today.
Mbh.7.199.11340	SECTION CCII Dhritarashtra said, Upon the slaughter of the Atiratha, viz, Drona, by Prishata's son, what did my sons and the Pandavas next do'
Mbh.7.199.11341	Sanjaya, said, After the rout of the Kuru army, upon the slaughter of that Atiratha, viz, Drona, by Prishata's son, Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti beholding a wonderful phenomenon in connection with his own victory, asked Vyasa, O bull of Bharata's race, who came thither in course of his wanderings, saying, O great Rishi, while I was engaged in slaying the foe in battle with showers of bright shafts, I continually beheld before me, proceeding in advance of my car, a person of blazing hue, as if endued with the effulgence of fire.
Mbh.8.22.918	Prishata's son covered with his arrows and shafts those foe-crushing elephants urged forward by their riders with heels and toes and hooks.
Mbh.8.26.1101	Checked by the mighty son of Gautama, Prishata's son, O Bharata, could not advance even one step.
Mbh.8.54.3066	The grandson of Gautama Kripa then quickly cut off with his arrows the shield of Prishata's son, that was decked with hundred moons.
Mbh.8.54.3082	Then Kritavarma, thus deeply struck by Prishata's son in that encounter, covered his assailant, his steeds, and his car with his shafts.
Mbh.8.59.3387	Similarly, O king, Karna, in that battle, covered Prishata's son, that scorcher of foes, with many shafts resembling snakes of virulent poison.
Mbh.8.59.3390	That terrible shaft, O monarch, as it coursed impetuously towards Prishata's son, the grandson of Sini, O king, cut off into seven fragments, displaying great lightness of hand.
Mbh.8.59.3397	Meanwhile the mighty son of Drona rushed against Prishata's son, that chastiser of foes and queller of the prowess of all enemies.
Mbh.8.59.3414	Drona's son, however, with his arrows, destroyed within the twinkling of an eye the bow, the dart, the mace, the standard, the steeds, the driver, and the car of Prishata's son.
Mbh.8.59.3421	Meanwhile Madhava, addressing Arjuna, said, Behold, O Partha, how the son of Drona is rushing with great speed towards the car of Prishata's son.
Mbh.8.59.3439	Beholding Prishata's son rescued and Drona's son afflicted, the Pancalas, O king, expectant of victory, began to utter loud shouts.
Mbh.8.61.3577	Thereat Prishata's son, filled with rage, cut off Duhshasana's bow, O sire, with a sharp razor-headed arrow, at which all the troops there uttered a loud shout.
Mbh.8.62.3644	Seeing Duryodhana reduced to that plight, Karna, invoking his weapons quickly, began to slaughter the troops of Yudhishthira and Prishata's son.
Mbh.8.82.5022	Then Uttamauja and Janamejaya, and the enraged Yudhamanyu and Shikhandi, uniting with Prishata's son Dhrishtadyumna and uttering loud roars, pierced Karna with many shafts.
Mbh.8.82.5026	The Suta's son then pierced Shikhandi with a dozen keen shafts, and Uttamauja with half a dozen, and Yudhamanyu with three, and then each of the other two, viz, Somaka Janamejaya and Prishata's son Dhrishtadyumna with three shafts.
Mbh.8.93.5932	In return, those warriors fought with Bhima and Prishata's son.
Mbh.9.3.173	All of them fought vigorously with Bhima and Prishata's son.
Mbh.9.15.864	The Kuru king, having pierced with five arrows the slayer of Drona, Prishata's son of fierce shafts, once more pierced him with seven arrows.
