Santanu S - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.100.5576	And Santanu's son, the Vasu born of Ganga, named Devavrata resembled Santanu himself in personal beauty, in habits and behaviour, and in learning.
Mbh.1.100.5586	This youth was no other than Santanu's son himself.
Mbh.1.101.5706	And he adored Santanu's son Bhishma who was conversant with all the rules of religion and law; so, indeed, Bhishma also protected him that was so obedient to the dictates of duty
Mbh.1.103.5811	I shall soon tell thee, O Queen, what the established Kshatriya usage is to which recourse may be had to prevent Santanu's line becoming extinct on earth.
Mbh.4.38.1514	And beholding that mighty host abounding in elephants, horses and chariots, and protected by Karna and Duryodhana and Kripa and Santanu's son, and that intelligent and great bowman Drona, with his son Aswatthaman, the son of Virata, agitated with fear and the bristles on his body standing on their ends, thus spake unto Partha, I dare not fight with the Kurus.
Mbh.4.61.2361	There our grandfather, Santanu's son, like unto a celestial, waiteth, desirous of an encounter with me'
Mbh.4.63.2445	SECTION LXIII Vaisampayana said, Then while a great havoc was being made among the Kurus, Santanu's son, Bhishma, and grandsire of the Bharatas rushed at Arjuna, taking up an excellent bow adorned with gold, and many arrows also of keen points and capable of piercing into the very vitals of the foe and afflicting him sorely.
Mbh.4.65.2553	And at this, Santanu's son, smiling, said unto him, Where had been this sense of thine, and where had been thy prowess too, when thou hadst been in a state of unconsciousness renouncing thy arrows and handsome bow?
Mbh.5.21.898	Vaisampayana continued, Then Dhritarashtra pacified Bhishma with words of entreaty, rebuked the son of Radha, and spoke the following words, What Bhishma, Santanu's son, hath said is salutary for us, as also for the Pandavas, and likewise for the whole universe.
Mbh.5.31.1395	By thee, when Santanu's race was about to be extinct, it was revived.
Mbh.5.48.2762	Having bowed down unto Santanu's son, and also Drona with his son, and the unrivalled son of Saradwat, I shall fight for regaining our kingdom.
Mbh.5.62.3346	O king of kings, when Bhishma said this after Karna had gone away giving up his weapons, Duryodhana, that foolish son of Vichitravirya's son, addressed Santanu's son in these words
Mbh.5.94.4430	And beholding the Rishis then at the gate of the palace, Santanu's son quickly ordered the servants to bring seats for them.
Mbh.5.125.5557	After Bhishma had concluded, Drona also said these words unto Duryodhana, who, filled with wrath, was then breathing heavily, O sire, the words that Kesava hath spoken unto thee are fraught with virtue and profit, Santanu's son Bhishma also hath said the same.
Mbh.5.128.5665	And seeing Duryodhana rise and leave the court in anger with his brothers, Santanu's son, Bhishma said, The enemies of that person, who, abandoning both virtue and profit, followeth the impulses of wrath, rejoice on beholding him plunged into distress at no distant date.
Mbh.5.130.5760	And this was the resolution which Duryodhana and Karna and Suvala's son Sakuni, with Dussasana as their fourth, arrived at, This Janardana, quick in action, seeketh, with the king Dhritarashtra and Santanu's son, to seize us first.
Mbh.5.142.6371	When thou wilt behold in battle Arjuna checking Drona and Santanu's son and Kripa and king Suyodhana, and Jayadratha of Sindhu's race, all rushing fiercely to the encounter, then all signs of the Krita, the Treta and the Dwapara ages will disappear.
Mbh.5.142.6373	Returning hence, O Karna, say unto Drona and Santanu's son and Kripa that the present month is a delightful one, and that food, drink, and fuel are abundant now.
Mbh.5.147.6592	Blessed be thou, O perpetuator of Santanu's race.
Mbh.5.148.6678	Keeping virtue in front, let Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, guided by king Dhritarashtra and urged by Santanu's son, rule for many long years this kingdom of the Kurus lawfully obtainable by him
Mbh.5.178.7973	In the midst of these, Santanu's son, Bhishma, of mighty valour, disregarding all the kings, abducted the girls.
Mbh.5.188.8437	Santanu's son by Ganga, a celebrated Vasu as he is, how can he be defeated by thee?
Mbh.5.196.8787	With the fire of my weapons I can consume the army of the Pandavas, like Santanu's son Bhishma, I think, in a month's time'
Mbh.5.198.8829	Then came Aswatthaman, and Santanu's son Bhishma, and Jayadratha of the country of the Sindhu, and the kings of the southern and the western countries and of the hilly regions, and Sakuni, the ruler of the Gandharas, and all the chiefs of the eastern and the northern regions, and the Sakas, the Kiratas, and Yavanas, the Sivis and the Vasatis with their Maharathas at the heads of their respective divisions.
Mbh.6.14.717	Beholding Santanu's son Bhishma of terrible prowess, how indeed, could the army of the Pandavas succeed in smiting him there?
Mbh.6.14.763	Indeed, time, endued with great energy, is incapable of being transgressed by anything in the world, when thou tellest me, O Sanjaya, that Santanu's son Bhishma is dead.
Mbh.6.14.765	When he beheld Santanu's son, O Sanjaya, lying on earth like the Sun dropped from the firmament, what else was made by Duryodhana as his refuge?
Mbh.6.14.767	Alas, cruel are the duties of the Kshatriya order as laid down by the Rishis, since the Pandavas are desirous of sovereignty by even compassing the death of Santanu's son, and we also are desirous of sovereignty by offering up that hero of high vows as a sacrifice
Mbh.6.16.827	There in the van of that division was Santanu's son.
Mbh.6.17.858	Those mighty bowmen of royal birth, O bull of Bharata's race, that were on thy side, all took up their positions, O king, as Santanu's son ordered.
Mbh.6.43.2027	Seizing his feet with his two hands, the royal son of Pandu then said unto Santanu's son Bhishma who was there ready for battle, these words.
Mbh.6.45.2198	And Santanu's son himself, taking up a terrible bow that resembled the rod of Death, rushed, O king, on the field of battle, against Dhananjaya.
Mbh.6.47.2380	And Bhima then, piercing Santanu's son Bhishma in that combat with three arrows, pierced Kripa with one, and Kritavarman with eight.
Mbh.6.48.2475	And Sweta again pierced Santanu's son with five and twenty straight arrows, at which all wondered.
Mbh.6.53.2757	I regard destiny to be superior, O Sanjaya, to exertion, when Santanu's son Bhishma even could not escape Pandu's son in battle.
Mbh.6.54.2907	Then Santanu's son Bhishma, hearing those cries in battle, quickly proceeded towards Bhima, himself surrounded on all sides with combatants in army.
Mbh.6.56.2969	SECTION LVI Sanjaya said, When the night having passed away, the dawn came, Santanu's son Bhishma, that chastiser of foes, gave the order for the Kuru army to prepare for battle.
Mbh.6.58.3067	And king Duryodhana, beholding that army of his rallied for the fight, quickly repaired to Santanu's son Bhishma and said these words.
Mbh.6.59.3196	And beholding that foremost of bipeds, that divine personage, advancing armed with the discus, Santanu's son stationed on his car, bow and arrow in hand, fearlessly said, Come, Come, O Lord of the gods, O thou that hast the universe for thy abode.
Mbh.6.59.3202	Hearing these words of Santanu's son, Krishna rushing impetuously towards him said, Thou art the root of this great slaughter on earth.
Mbh.6.59.3227	And Bhurisravas hurled at Arjuna seven javelins furnished with wings of gold, and Duryodhana a lance of fierce impetuosity, and Salya a mace, and Santanu's son a dart.
Mbh.6.59.3229	And the blazing dart coming towards him, effulgent as lightning, hurled by Santanu's son, and the mace hurled from the arm of the ruler of the Madras, that hero cut off with two other shafts.
Mbh.6.60.3269	And then the fierce army of the Kurus, bent on battle and protected by Santanu's son, rushed impetuously towards Arjuna like the fierce current of the ocean-going Ganga
Mbh.6.64.3461	Then Santanu's son, addressing all the mighty car-warriors of his army said, That fierce bowman, Bhima, excited with wrath in battle, is slaying the mighty sons of Dhritarashtra and other heroic car-warriors united together, whatever their knowledge of weapons, and whatever their bravery.
Mbh.6.64.3494	Hearing that roar of his and beholding those battling elephants, Santanu's son Bhishma once again addressed Bharadwaja's son and said, I do not like to fight to-day with the wicked-souled son of Hidimva.
Mbh.6.72.3873	And other warriors of the Pandava army, headed by Dhrishtadyumna, and desirous of slaughtering the ranks of thy son, rushed towards Santanu's son in that battle.
Mbh.6.83.4317	And so also the Pandavas were incapable of looking at Santanu's son Bhishma of white steeds and white bow and resembling the planet Sukra risen in the firmament.
Mbh.6.86.4522	King Yudhishthira then, beholding Sikhandin flying away, having had his weapon cut off by Santanu's son became filled with anger.
Mbh.6.97.5144	Then Santanu's son, Bhishma, and that foremost of car-warriors, viz, Kripa, and Bhagadatta, and Susarman, all went towards Dhananjaya.
Mbh.6.98.5208	Let Santanu's son Bhishma soon withdraw from the great battle.
Mbh.6.99.5300	Filled with great grief and deprecating the status of servitude, Santanu's son reflected for a long time, thinking of an encounter with Arjuna in battle.
Mbh.6.108.5848	Hearing these words, Santanu's son, O elder brother of Pandu, said unto the son of Pandu, As long as I am alive, O son of Kunti, victory cannot be yours in battle, O thou of great wisdom.
Mbh.6.110.6014	Battling with myriads upon myriads around him, Santanu's son Bhishma then looked like the cliff of Meru covered on all sides with masses of clouds.
Mbh.6.116.6288	SECTION CXVI Dhritarashtra said, How, O Sanjaya, did Santanu's son Bhishma of mighty energy fight on the tenth day of battle, with the Pandavas and the Srinjayas?
Mbh.6.116.6296	On that day, O scorcher of foes, Santanu's son, Bhishma, conversant with high and mighty weapons, repeatedly slew thousands upon thousands of warriors.
Mbh.6.116.6328	Beholding Santanu's son in battle, the divisions of thy army and of the foe, O Bharata, became mingled with one another.
Mbh.6.120.6595	Having listened to these words of the celestials, Santanu's son Bhishma of great ascetic merit rushed out at Vibhatsu, even though he was then being pierced with sharp arrows capable of penetrating through every armour.
Mbh.6.120.6685	When Santanu's son Bhishma of mighty energy, who was regarded as unslayable, was slain, all of us thought that the destruction of the Kuru king was at hand
Mbh.6.121.6716	When Santanu's son Bhishma, the grandsire of the Bharatas, was slain, thy sons, O sire, knew not what to do.
Mbh.6.121.6736	Then Santanu's son Bhishma of righteous soul addressed the Pandavas and the Kurus who having reverenced him thus, stood before him.
Mbh.6.122.6749	Unto him Santanu's son said, My head, O sire, hangeth down,
Mbh.6.123.6787	Maidens by thousands, having repaired to that place, gently showered over Santanu's son powdered sandal wood and fried paddy, and garlands of flowers.
Mbh.6.123.6788	And women and old men and children, and ordinary spectators, all approached Santanu's son like creatures of the world desirous of beholding the Sun.
Mbh.6.123.6797	Beholding that water brought for him, Santanu's son said, I cannot, O sire, now use any article of human enjoyment!
Mbh.6.123.6819	And Santanu's son, his thirst quenched, then addressed Jishnu, O monarch, and said, applauding him highly in the presence of all those kings, these words, viz, O thou of mighty arms, this is not wonderful in thee, O son of Kuru's race!
Mbh.6.123.6830	Eyeing him, Santanu's son said, Listen, O king!
Mbh.6.124.6864	SECTION CXXIV Sanjaya said, After Santanu's son Bhishma, O monarch, had become silent, all those rulers of earth, there present, then returned to their respective quarters.
Mbh.7.1.23	In consequence of thy folly and of thy son's and of the slaughter of Santanu's son, the Kauravas with all the kings seemed to be summoned by Death himself.
Mbh.7.2.56	Indeed, O king, having heard that that mighty car-warrior and foremost of men, that hero of unfading glory, viz, Santanu's son, had been thrown down from his car, that grinder of foes, that foremost of all wielders of bows, viz, Karna, soon came to the field of battle.
Mbh.7.2.62	Sanjaya continued, Upon the fall of that boon-giving hero of great might, that lord of the world, viz, Santanu's son of great energy, and upon the consequent defeat of the Bharatas, Karna, with cheerless heart and eyes filled with tears, began to console the Dhartarashtras.
Mbh.9.22.1506	I regard the Dhartarashtras to be foolish and of weak understanding in every way, since they continued the battle even after the fall of Santanu's son!
Mbh.9.54.3893	Today this disgrace of Santanu's line shall sleep on the bare Earth, abandoning his life-breath, his prosperity, and his kingdom!
Mbh.9.62.4489	Breathing heavily, he then addressed me, saying, Alas, I who had Santanu's son Bhishma for my protector, and Karna, that foremost of all wielders of weapons and Gotama's son, Shakuni, and Drona, that first of all wielders of arms, and Ashvatthama, and the heroic Shalya, and Kritavarma, alas, even I have come to this plight!
Mbh.12.50.2700	Except Santanu's son Bhishma of great energy and firmly devoted to righteousness, possessed of heroism and having virtue for the only object of his pursuit, we have never heard of any other person in the three worlds that could, by his ascetic power, though lying on a bed of arrows and at the point of death, still have such a complete mastery over death as to keep it thus at bay.
Mbh.12.51.2751	SECTION LII Vaisampayana said, Hearing these words of Krishna fraught with Morality and profit, Santanu's Bhishma, answered him in the following words.
Mbh.12.69.3977	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of Santanu's son, king Yudhishthira, docile in receiving instructions, possessed of great intelligence, and protected by Bhima and others, then worshipped his grandsire and from that time began to rule according to that teaching
Mbh.12.137.7633	There are few men for listening to the answer of this question and none to answer it save Santanu's son, Bhishma, firmly wedded to truth and having all his senses under control.
Mbh.13.59.5844	I swear by this truth, by which I hope to acquire all those regions of bliss that have been Santanu's.
Mbh.13.77.6999	Vaisampayana continued, Thus addressed by king Yudhishthira the just, Santanu's son began to discourse to him once again, in detail on the merits attaching to the gift of kine'
Mbh.13.106.9638	Vaisampayana continued, Unto Kunti's son by the deity of Dharma, who was conversant with every duty and who said so unto him, Santanu's son, Bhishma, who was acquainted with every duty, answered in the following words'
Mbh.13.168.13829	Those parts of the body of Santanu's son, in consequence of the adoption, of Yoga, from which the life-breaths went up, became soreless one after another.
Mbh.13.168.13837	Even thus, O great king, did Santanu's son, that pillar of Bharata's race, united himself with eternity.
Mbh.14.81.3625	Relying on him as thy help, thou didst compass the overthrow of Santanu's son.
Mbh.14.81.3629	After the fall of Santanu's son, those deities, viz, the Vasus, coming to the banks of Ganga, bathed in her waters, and calling the goddess of that stream, they uttered these terrible words having the sanction of Bhagirathi herself, viz, Santanu's son Bhishma has been slain by Dhananjaya.
