MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.1.2.586 He that listeneth to it while it is being recited hath no need of a bath in the sacred waters of Pushkara.
Mbh.1.36.1976 He practised these ascetic devotions, repairing to Gandhamadana, Vadri, Gokarna, the woods of Pushkara, and the foot of Himavat.
Mbh.1.222.10797 The last year of his exile the exalted one passed at the sacred region of Pushkara.
Mbh.3.12.604 Living upon water alone, thou hadst, in days of old, O Krishna, also dwelt for full eleven thousand years by the lake of Pushkara!
Mbh.3.52.2648 It hath been heard by us that, that king was deceitfully defeated by Pushkara, and afflicted with calamity, he dwelt in the woods with his spouse.
Mbh.3.59.2897 And having possessed Nala, he appeared before Pushkara, and addressed him, saying, Come and play at dice with Nala.
Mbh.3.59.2900 Thus exhorted by Kali, Pushkara went to Nala.
Mbh.3.59.2901 And Dwapara also approached Pushkara, becoming the principal die called Vrisha.
Mbh.3.59.2902 And appearing before the warlike Nala, that slayer of hostile heroes, Pushkara, repeatedly said, Let us play together with dice'
Mbh.3.59.2914 And, O Yudhishthira, it was thus that Nala and Pushkara gambled together for many months, the virtuous Nala being always worsted
Mbh.3.60.2928 The more the king loseth to Pushkara, the greater becometh his ardour for the play.
Mbh.3.60.2929 And as the dice fall obedient to Pushkara, it is seen that they are adverse to Nala in the matter of the play.
Mbh.3.61.2943 SECTION LXI Vrihadaswa said, After Varshneya had gone away, Pushkara won from the righteous Nala that latter's kingdom and what else of wealth he had.
Mbh.3.61.2944 And unto Nala, O king, who had lost his kingdom, Pushkara laughingly said, Let the play go on.
Mbh.3.61.2948 Hearing these words of Pushkara the virtuous king felt as if his heart would burst in rage, but he spake not a word.
Mbh.3.61.2949 And gazing at Pushkara in anguish, king Nala of great fame took all the ornaments off every part of his body.
Mbh.3.61.2953 But Pushkara, O king, proclaimed through the city that he that should show any attention to Nala, would be doomed to death.
Mbh.3.61.2954 And on account of these words of Pushkara and knowing his malice towards Nala, the citizens, O Yudhishthira, no longer showed him hospitable regards.
Mbh.3.78.3845 And the mighty son of Virasena, approaching his brothers Pushkara said unto him, We will play again, for I have earned vast wealth.
Mbh.3.78.3846 Let Damayanti and all else that I have be my stake, let, O Pushkara, thy kingdom be thy stake.
Mbh.3.78.3854 And, O Pushkara, choose thou one of these two things, gambling with dice or bending the bow in battle'
Mbh.3.78.3855 Thus addressed by Nishadha, Pushkara, sure of his own success, laughingly answered that monarch, saying, O Naishadha, it is by good fortune that thou hast earned wealth again to stake.
Mbh.3.78.3865 Then the play commenced between Pushkara and Nala.
Mbh.3.78.3867 And the king, having won, smilingly said unto Pushkara, This whole kingdom without a thorn in its side is now undisturbedly mine.
Mbh.3.78.3877 O Pushkara, thou art my brother, live thou for a hundred years
Mbh.3.78.3879 And Pushkara himself, thus comforted by the ruler of the Nishadhas saluted that righteous king, and addressed him, O monarch, saying these words with joined hands, Let thy fame be immortal and live thou happily for ten thousand years, thou who grantest me, O king, both life and refuge.
Mbh.3.78.3880 And entertained by the king, Pushkara dwelt there for a month and then went to his own town accompanied by large force and many obedient servants and his own kindred, his heart filled with joy.
Mbh.3.78.3882 And the blessed ruler of the Nishadhas, having established Pushkara and made him wealthy and freed him from troubles, entered his richly decorated palace.
Mbh.3.82.3982 In the world of men, there is that tirtha of the God of gods, celebrated over the three worlds by the name of Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.3984 O high-souled son of the Kuru race, during the two twilights and mid-day there is the presence of hundred thousand millions of tirthas in Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.3985 The Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Sadhyas, the Maruts, the Gandharvas, and the Apsaras are ever present, O exalted one, in Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.3987 Men of self-control, by even thinking mentally of Pushkara, are cleansed from their sins, and regarded in heaven.
Mbh.3.82.3989 O blessed one, it was in Pushkara that the gods with the Rishis having acquired of old great merit, finally obtained the highest success.
Mbh.3.82.3991 Having gone to the Pushkara woods, he that feedeth even one Brahmana, becometh happy here and hereafter, O Bhishma, for that act.
Mbh.3.82.3994 Those illustrious persons among Brahmanas or Kshatriyas or Vaisyas or Sudras that bathe in Pushkara are freed from the obligation of rebirth.
Mbh.3.82.3995 That man in special who visits Pushkara on the full moon of the month of Karttika, acquireth ever-lasting regions in the abode of Brahma.
Mbh.3.82.3996 He that thinketh with joined hands morning and evening, of the Pushkara, practically batheth, O Bharata, in every tirtha.
Mbh.3.82.3997 Whether a male or a female, whatever sins one may commit since birth, are all destroyed as soon as one batheth in Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.3998 As the slayer of Madhu is the foremost of all the celestials, so is Pushkara, O king, the foremost of all tirthas.
Mbh.3.82.3999 A man by residing with purity and regulated vows for twelve years in Pushkara, acquireth the merit of all the sacrifices, and goeth to the abode of Brahma.
Mbh.3.82.4000 The merit of one who performeth the Agni-hotra for full one hundred years, is equal to that of him who resideth for the single month of Karttika in Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.4001 There are three white hillocks and three springs known from the remotest times, we do not know why, by the name of the Pushkara.
Mbh.3.82.4002 It is difficult to go to Pushkara; it is difficult to undergo ascetic austerities at Pushkara; it is difficult to give away at Pushkara; and it is difficult to live at Pushkara
Mbh.3.82.4003 Having dwelt for twelve nights at Pushkara with regulated diet and vows, and having walked round the place, one must go to Jamvu-marga.
Mbh.3.83.4375 Pushkara is productive of good in the regions of the firmament; Kurukshetra, however, is productive of good in respect of all the three worlds.
Mbh.3.85.4701 It hath been said that in the Satyayuga all the tirthas were sacred; in the Treta, Pushkara alone was such; in Dwapara, Kurukshetra; and in the Kali-yuga, the Ganga alone is sacred.
Mbh.3.85.4702 In Pushkara, one should practise austerities; in Mahalaya, one should give away; in the Malaya mountains, one should ascend the funeral pyre; and in Bhrigutunga, one should renounce one's body by forgoing food.
Mbh.3.85.4703 Bathing in Pushkara, in Kurukshetra, in the Ganga and in the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, one sanctifieth seven generations of one's race up and down.
Mbh.3.89.4856 There also is the celebrated tank of the Grandsire, called Pushkara, the favourite abode of the Vaikanasas, and Siddhas and Rishis.
Mbh.3.89.4857 Moved by the desire of obtaining its protection, the Creator sang this verse at Pushkara, O chief of the Kurus and foremost of virtuous men!
Mbh.5.98.4649 Possessed of eyes like lotus leaves, this Pushkara is, indeed, Varuna's much-loved son, endued with great beauty and delightful to behold.
Mbh.6.12.647 In the island of Pushkara is a mountain called Pushkara that abounds with jewels and gems.
Mbh.7.52.2455 Wending then to Pushkara, and Gokarna, and Naimisha, and Malaya, she emaciated her body, practising austerities agreeable to her heart.
Mbh.8.91.5801 Like Nala who was defeated by Pushkara with the aid of dice but who regained his kingdom by prowess, the Pandavas, who are free from cupidity, will recover their kingdom by the prowess of their arms, aided with all their friends.
Mbh.9.36.2671 During the continuance of that sacrifice at Pushkara and in the presence of the Grandsire, the Rishis, O king, said, This sacrifice cannot be said to possess high attributes, since that foremost of rivers, Sarasvati, is not to be seen here'
Mbh.9.36.2673 Summoned at Pushkara by the Grandsire engaged in the performance of a sacrifice, Sarasvati, O king, appeared there, under the name of Suprava.
Mbh.9.36.2675 Even thus that foremost of rivers, the Sarasvati, made her appearance at Pushkara for the sake of the Grandsire and for gratifying the Munis.
Mbh.12.43.2187 Thou art the lotus of Prosperity, thou art the cloud called Pushkara, and thou art decked with floral wreaths.
Mbh.12.151.9004 Thou shouldst go to Mahasaras, to all the tirthas designated by the name of Pushkara, to Prabhasa, to the northern lake Manasa, and to Kalodaka.
Mbh.12.151.9035 One guilty of foeticide becomes cleansed at even a hundred Yojanas from Mahasaras, or the tirthas called Pushkara, or Prabhasa, or Manasa on the north, if only one gets out for any of them
Mbh.12.297.18589 That man who looks upon all creatures with eyes guided by affection, regarding them worthy of being cherished with loving aid, who disregards all kinds of wealth, who offers them consolation, gives them food, address them in agreeable words, and who rejoices in their happiness and grieves in their griefs, has never to suffer misery in the next world, Repairing to the Saraswati, the Naimisha woods, the Pushkara waters, and the other sacred spots on earth, one should make gifts, practise renunciation, render one's aspect amiable, O king, and purify one's body with baths and penances.
Mbh.12.342.22614 The Rishis dwelling in Pushkara, which is regarded as the abode of Brahman, called me by the name of Truth.
Mbh.13.17.2385 Thou art the maker of Pushkara and other large lakes and pieces of natural water.
Mbh.13.25.3428 By bathing in Pushkara, and Prabhasa, and Naimisha, and the ocean, and Devika, and Indramarga, and Swarnavindu, one is sure to ascend to heaven being seated on a celestial car, and filled with transports of joy at the adorations of Apsara.
Mbh.13.102.9141 They who repair to Prabhasa and Manasa, the lakes of Pushkara, the large lake called Mahatsara, the sacred woods of Naimisha, Vahuda, Karatoya, Ganga, Gayasiras, Vipasa, Sthulavaluka, Krishna, the five rivers of the Punjab, the extensive lake called Mahahrada, Gomati, Kausiki, Champa, Saraswati, Drisadwati, and Yamuna, indeed, those illustrious Brahmanas, steady in the observance of vows, who go to these sacred waters, repair to the regions of which thou speakest.
Mbh.13.103.9191 By the side of the Pushkara lakes I made gifts unto the Brahmanas, for a hundred thousand times, a hundred thousand steeds, and two hundred thousand kine.
Mbh.13.125.10905 Sakra said, Thinking in one's mind of Kurukshetra and Gaya and Ganga and Prabhasa and the lakes of Pushkara, one should dip one's head in water.
Mbh.13.127.11057 One should always recite names of the Pushkara lakes and the other sacred waters.
Mbh.13.130.11128 The merits acquired by a person who gives away a Kapila cow every day for a period of two and ten years, or by a person who adores the deities every month in a sacrifice, or by him who gives away hundreds of thousands of kine in the great Pushkara, do not come up to those that are his with whom a guest is gratified.
Mbh.13.130.11146 In Pushkara especially should one make the gift of a Kapila cow unto a Brahmana conversant with the Vedas.
Mbh.13.130.11169 Listen now to what the merits are of the person who makes the gift of a Kapila cow to a Brahmana conversant with the Vedas, especially if the gift be made in Pushkara.
Mbh.13.130.11173 Hence, one should give away a Kapila cow at that Pushkara which is regarded as the senior of the two Tirthas known by that name on the day of the full moon in the month of Karttika.
Mbh.13.165.13692 Then comes the three-eyed Lord of Lima; then Skanda the generalissimo of the celestial forces; then Visakha; then Agni the eater of sacrificial libations; then Vayu the god of wind; then Chandramas; then Aditya the god of the sun, endued with effulgence; then the illustrious Sakra the lord of Sachi; and Yama with his spouse Dhumorna; and Varuna with Gauri; Kuvera the lord of treasures, with his spouse Riddhi; the amiable and illustrious cow Surabhi; the great Rishi Visravas; Sankalpa, Ocean, Gangs: the other sacred Rivers; the diverse Maruts; the Valkhilyas crowned with success of penances; the island-born Krishna; Narada; Parvata; Viswavasu; the Hahas; the Huhus; Tumvuru; Chitrasena; the celestial messenger of wide celebrity; the highly blessed celestial maidens; the celestial Apsaras, Urvasi, Menaka, Rambha; Misrakesi, Alamvusha, Viswachi, Ghritachi, Panchachuda, Tilottama, the Adityas, the Vasus, the Aswins, the Pitris; Dharma Righteousness; Vedic lore, Penances, Diksha, Perseverance in religious acts, the Grandsire, Day and Night, Kasyapa the son of Marichi, Sukra, Vrihaspati, Mangala the son of Earth, Vudha, Rahu, Sanischara, the Constellations, the Seasons, the Months, the Fortnights, the Year, Garuda, the son of Vinata, the several Oceans, the sons of Kadru, viz, the Snakes, Satadru, Vipasa, Chandrabhaga, Saraswati, Sindhu, Devika, Prabhasa, the lakes of Pushkara, Ganga, Mahanadi, Vena, Kaveri, Narmada, Kulampuna Visalya, Karatoya, Amvuvahini.
Mbh.18.5.325 What need has that man of a sprinkling of the waters of Pushkara who attentively listens to this Bharata, while it is recited to him?
