Mbh.1.75.4108 | SECTION LXXV Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, Hear now, as I recite the recorded genealogy, that is sacred and subservient to religion, profit and pleasure, of these royal sages, Daksha, the lord of creation, Manu, the son of Surya, Bharata, Ruru, Puru, and Ajamidha. |
Mbh.1.75.4160 | And of Devayani were born Yadu and Turvasu, and of Sarmishtha were born Drahyu, Anu, and Puru. |
Mbh.1.75.4162 | And attacked by decrepitude, the monarch then spoke, O Bharata, unto his sons Yadu and Puru and Turvasu and Drahyu and Anu these words, Ye dear sons, I wish to be a young man and to gratify my appetites in the company of young women. |
Mbh.1.75.4174 | Then his youngest son Puru said unto him, O king, enjoy thyself thou once again with a renovated body and returned youth! |
Mbh.1.75.4176 | Thus addressed, the royal sage, by virtue of his ascetic power then transferred his own decrepitude unto that high-souled son of his and with the youth of Puru became a youth; while with the monarch's age Puru ruled his kingdom. |
Mbh.1.75.4187 | And giving him back his youth, though his own appetites were unsatiated, and installing him on the throne, he spoke unto Puru thus, Thou art my true heir, thou art my true son by whom my race is to be continued. |
Mbh.1.75.4189 | Vaisampayana continued, Then that tiger among kings, having installed his son Puru on the throne, went away to the mount of Bhrigu for devoting himself to asceticism. |
Mbh.1.83.4646 | And Sarmishtha, the daughter of Vrishaparvan, became through the royal sage the mother of three sons in all, named Drahyu, Anu, and Puru. |
Mbh.1.84.4743 | Yayati at last turned to his youngest child, Puru, and addressing him said, Thou art, O Puru, my youngest son! |
Mbh.1.84.4747 | O Puru, take thou this my weakness and decrepitude! |
Mbh.1.84.4750 | Vaisampayana said, Thus addressed by the king, Puru answered with humility, I shall do, O monarch, as thou bidest me. |
Mbh.1.84.4754 | Yayati then said, O Puru, I have been gratified with thee. |
Mbh.1.84.4756 | And having said this, the great ascetic Yayati, then thinking of Kavya, transferred his decrepitude unto the body of the high-souled Puru |
Mbh.1.85.4767 | And when the virtuous monarch saw that the thousand years were full, he summoned his son, Puru, and addressed him thus, O oppressor of foes, with thy youth, O son, I have enjoyed the pleasures of life, each according to its season to the full extent of my desires, to the limit of my powers. |
Mbh.1.85.4776 | And O Puru, I have been exceedingly gratified with thee! |
Mbh.1.85.4782 | And his son Puru received back his own youth. |
Mbh.1.85.4783 | And Yayati was desirous of installing Puru, his youngest son, on the throne. |
Mbh.1.85.4784 | But the four orders, with the Brahmanas at their head, then addressed the monarch thus, O king, how shall thou bestow thy kingdom on Puru, passing over thy eldest son Yadu born of Devayani, and, therefore, the grandson of the great Sukra? |
Mbh.1.85.4785 | Indeed, Yadu is thy eldest son; after him hath been born Turvasu; and of Sarmishtha's sons, the first is Drahyu, then Anu and then Puru. |
Mbh.1.85.4795 | By Puru alone hath my word been obeyed. |
Mbh.1.85.4799 | Indeed, Puru is my friend. |
Mbh.1.85.4802 | I, therefore, beseech thee, let Puru be installed on the throne' |
Mbh.1.85.4804 | Therefore, doth Puru, who hath done the good, deserve the crown. |
Mbh.1.85.4807 | The son of Nahusha, thus addressed by the contented people, then installed his son, Puru, on the throne. |
Mbh.1.85.4808 | And having bestowed his kingdom on Puru, the monarch performed the initiatory ceremonies for retiring into the woods. |
Mbh.1.85.4812 | The progeny of Puru, however, are the Pauravas, amongst whom, O monarch, thou art born, in order to rule for a thousand years with thy passions under complete control |
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.1.87.4839 | One day that best of kings, Yayati, went to Indra and there in course of conversation the lord of Earth was asked by Indra as follows: What didst thou say, O king, when thy son Puru took thy decrepitude on Earth and when thou gavest him thy kingdom' |
Mbh.1.89.4884 | SECTION LXXXIX Sambhava Parva continued Yayati said, I am Yayati, the son of Nahusha and the father of Puru. |

Mbh.1.94.5135 | SECTION XCIV Sambhava Parva continued Janamejaya said, O adorable one, I desire to hear the histories of those kings who were descended from Puru. |
Mbh.1.94.5140 | Puru had by his wife Paushti three sons, Pravira, Iswara, and Raudraswa, all of whom were mighty car-warriors. |
Mbh.1.94.5170 | And then Bharata, the great descendant of Puru, regarding himself as really possessing a son, installed, O foremost one of Bharata's race, that son as his heir-apparent. |
Mbh.1.94.5194 | It hath been heard by us that Vasishtha then installed the Bharata prince in the sovereignty of all the Kshatriyas on earth, making by virtue of his Mantras this descendant of Puru the veritable horns of the wild bull or the tusks of the wild elephants. |
Mbh.1.95.5229 | Here occurs a sloka regarding Yayati's descendants, Devayani gave birth to Yadu and Turvasu; and Vrishaparvan's daughter, Sarmishtha gave birth to Druhyu, Anu, and Puru, |
