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.3.82.3982 | 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.3.82.3985 | 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.3.82.3996 | 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.3.83.4375 | 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.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.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.12.297.18589 | 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. |
