Sairindhri

Mbh.3.65.3320	Vrihadaswa continued, O king, having spoken so unto the daughter of Bhima, the queen-mother, O Bharata, said to her daughter named Sunanda, O Sunanda, accept this lady like a goddess as thy Sairindhri!
Mbh.3.68.3430	And, O Bharata, beholding Damayanti weeping, and conversing in private with Sudeva, Sunanda was distressed, and going to her mother informed her, saying, Sairindhri is weeping bitterly in the presence of a Brahmana.
Mbh.4.3.95	I shall give myself out as a Sairindhri, skilled in dressing hair.
Mbh.4.9.321	And dressing herself as a Sairindhri, she began to wander hither and thither in seeming affliction.
Mbh.4.9.324	And she replied, I am a king's Sairindhri.
Mbh.4.9.329	Thereupon, Draupadi answered her, saying, O foremost of queen, I am Sairindhri.
Mbh.4.9.355	I am a maid-servant of the Sairindhri class.
Mbh.4.14.580	Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by the Sairindhri, the wicked Kichaka losing control over his senses and overcome by lust, although aware of the numerous evils of fornication, evils condemned by everybody and sometimes leading to the destruction of life itself, then spoke unto Draupadi, It behoveth thee not, O beauteous lady, O thou of graceful features, thus to disregard me who am, O thou of sweet smiles, under the power of Manmatha on thy account.
Mbh.4.15.601	SECTION XV Vaisampayana said, Rejected thus by the princess, Kichaka, afflicted with maddening lust and forgetting all sense of propriety, addressed Sudeshna saying, Do thou, Kekaya's daughter, so act that thy Sairindhri may come into my arms.
Mbh.4.15.605	I shall then send my Sairindhri to thee on the pretence of bringing wine.
Mbh.4.15.611	And when all this had been done, that gentle lady Sudeshna, as previously counselled by Kichaka, desired her Sairindhri to repair to Kichaka's abode, saying, Get up, O Sairindhri and repair to Kichaka's abode to bring wine, for, O beauteous lady, I am afflicted with thirst'
Mbh.4.15.612	Thereupon the Sairindhri replied, O princess, I shall not be able to repair to Kichaka's apartments.
Mbh.4.16.683	And that bull of the Kuru race then addressed that princess, his beloved spouse, saying, Stay not here, O Sairindhri; but retire to the apartments of Sudeshna.
Mbh.4.16.686	O Sairindhri, thou art ignorant of the timeliness of things, and it is for this that thou weepest as an actress, besides interrupting the play of dice in Matsya's court.
Mbh.4.16.687	Retire, O Sairindhri; the Gandharvas will do what is agreeable to thee.
Mbh.4.16.689	Hearing these words the Sairindhri replied, They of whom I am the wedded wife are, I ween, extremely kind.
Mbh.4.18.734	That vile and wicked wretch, O Bharata, known by the name of Kichaka, who is the brother-in-law of king Virata and the commander of his forces, every day, O tiger among men, addresses me who am residing in the palace as a Sairindhri, saying, Do thou become my wife,
Mbh.4.19.763	Sairindhri is possessed of great beauty and Vallava also is eminently handsome.
Mbh.4.19.765	It is, therefore, likely that the Sairindhri invariably weepeth at such times on account of her connection with her lover.
Mbh.4.20.808	SECTION XX Draupadi said, Alas, on account of that desperate gambler, I am now under Sudeshna's command, living in the palace in the guise of a Sairindhri.
Mbh.4.21.884	Thus addressed, Kichaka of wicked soul replied unto me, saying, I have not the least fear of the Gandharvas, O Sairindhri of sweet smiles.
Mbh.4.21.891	And it came to pass that Kaikeyi previously urged by Kichaka, and moved by affection for her brother, and desirous of doing him a good turn, despatched me to him, saying Do thou, O Sairindhri, fetch wine from Kichaka's quarter's'
Mbh.4.22.947	And the stupid Kichaka also, not knowing that it was Death that had assumed the form of a Sairindhri, returning home experienced the greatest delight.
Mbh.4.22.983	Thyself slain Sairindhri will live in peace, and we, her husbands, will also live in peace'
Mbh.4.22.1011	And Bhima then said, Slaying this wretch who intended to violate our wife, this thorn in the side of Sairindhri, I am freed from the debt I owed to my brothers, and have attained perfect peace'
Mbh.4.23.1036	Thus addressed by them, king Virata, O monarch, knowing fully well the prowess of the Suta gave his assent to Sairindhri being burnt along with the Suta's son.
Mbh.4.23.1042	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing those sorrowful words and lamentations of Krishna, Bhima, without a moment's reflection started up from his bed and said, I have heard, O Sairindhri the words thou hast spoken.
Mbh.4.23.1054	Let Sairindhri, therefore, from whom this danger of ours hath arisen, be set free'
Mbh.4.24.1068	Sairindhri also, having been set free, returneth to thy palace in the city.
Mbh.4.24.1069	Alas, O king, if Sairindhri cometh, thy entire kingdom will be endangered.
Mbh.4.24.1070	Sairindhri is endued with great beauty; the Gandharvas also here exceedingly powerful.
Mbh.4.24.1072	Devise, therefore, O king, without delay, such means that in consequence of wrongs done to Sairindhri, thy kingdom may not meet with destruction'
Mbh.4.24.1075	And filled with fear, the king then addressed his queen Sudeshna, saying, When Sairindhri comes back, do thou tell her these words from me, Blessed be thou, O fair-faced Sairindhri.
Mbh.4.24.1088	And they said, By good luck also it is, O Sairindhri, that thou hast been delivered from thy dangers.
Mbh.4.24.1091	Hearing this, Virhannala said, How hast thou, O Sairindhri, been delivered?
Mbh.4.24.1094	Sairindhri replied, O blessed Vrihannala, always passing thy days happily in the apartments of the girls, what concern hast thou with Sairindhri's fate to say?
Mbh.4.24.1095	Thou hast no grief to bear that Sairindhri hath to bear!
Mbh.4.24.1105	And when she came before the queen, Virata's wife addressed her at the command of the king, saying, Do thou, O Sairindhri, speedily go whithersoever thou likest.
Mbh.4.24.1110	Thereat Sairindhri said, O beauteous lady, let the king suffer me to live here for only thirteen days more.
Mbh.4.36.1463	Uttara said, Thou knowest, O Sairindhri, this youth.
Mbh.4.36.1467	Thus addressed by the Sairindhri, Uttara spake unto his sister, Go thyself, O thou of faultless beauty, and bring Vrihannala hither'
Mbh.4.37.1479	And unto him striving to obtain a charioteer, Sairindhri, O Vrihannala, hath spoken about thy skill in the management of steeds.
Mbh.4.37.1487	The Sairindhri hath spoken of thee to me.
Mbh.4.38.1532	As regards myself, I cannot return to the city without having rescued the kine, applauded as I have been so highly by the Sairindhri in respect of my skill in driving cars.
Mbh.4.38.1533	It is for those praises by the Sairindhri and for those words of thine also that I have come.
Mbh.4.44.1672	And know thou that the Sairindhri is Draupadi, for whose sake the Kichakas have been slain'
Mbh.4.67.2624	And having despatched troops and maidens and courtezens decked in ornaments, the wise king of the Matsyas cheerfully said these words, O Sairindhri, fetch the dice.
Mbh.4.68.2665	And he beheld Kanka covered with blood, and seated on the ground at one end of the court, and waited upon by the Sairindhri.
Mbh.4.71.2755	And even this lady of eyes like lotus-petals and slender-waist and sweet smiles is Drupada's daughter, thy wife's Sairindhri, for whose sake, O king, the Kichakas were slain.
Mbh.13.48.4978	Among the classes that are thus outside the pale of the four principal or pure orders, children are begotten upon women belonging to the class called Sairindhri by men of the class called Magadha.
Mbh.13.48.4982	From the union of Magadhas of a certain class with women of the caste called Sairindhri, there springs up another caste called Ayogava.
Mbh.13.48.4984	Vaidehas, by uniting themselves with women of the Sairindhri caste, beget children called Maireyakas whose occupation consists in the manufacture of wines and spirits.
