Satyabhama

Mbh.1.2.309	Then the meeting of Draupadi and Satyabhama, Ghoshayatra, Mirga-Swapna dream of the deer.
Mbh.1.2.393	After these, is the story of Matsya; other old stories recited by Markandeya; the stories of Indradyumna and Dhundhumara; then the history of the chaste wife; the history of Angira, the meeting and conversation of Draupadi and Satyabhama; the return of the Pandavas to the forest of Dwaita; then the procession to see the calves and the captivity of Duryodhana; and when the wretch was being carried off, his rescue by Arjuna; here is Yudhishthira's dream of the deer; then the re-entry of the Pandavas into the Kamyaka forest, here also is the long story of Vrihidraunika.
Mbh.3.182.9006	And the very moment that he was uttering these words, there was beheld Krishna, coming thitherward upon a car unto which were yoked the horses Saivya and Sugriva, he the best of those that ride on cars, accompanied by Satyabhama, is like Indra by Sachi, the daughter of Pulaman.
Mbh.3.182.9012	And so too Satyabhama also, the beloved consort of Krishna, embraced the daughter of Drupada, the beloved wife of the sons of Pandu.
Mbh.3.182.9056	And when that wisest saint, thus honoured, took his seat in a friendly way, Krishna addressed him, in accordance with the views of the Brahmanas and of Pandu's sons, thus, The sons of Pandu, and the Brahmanas assembled here, and the daughter of Drupada, and Satyabhama, likewise myself, are all anxious to hear your most excellent words, O Markandeya!
Mbh.3.231.11728	SECTION CCXXXI Draupadi-Satyabhama Samvada Vaisampayana said, After those Brahmanas and the illustrious sons of Pandu had taken their seats, Draupadi and Satyabhama entered the hermitage.
Mbh.3.231.11731	And the slender-waisted Satyabhama, the favourite wife of Krishna and the daughter of Satrajit, then asked Draupadi in private, saying, By what behaviour is it, O daughter of Drupada, that thou art able to rule the sons of Pandu, those heroes endued with strength and beauty and like unto the Lokapalas themselves?
Mbh.3.231.11737	When the celebrated Satyabhama, having said this, ceased, the chaste and blessed daughter of Drupada answered her, saying, Thou askedest me, O Satyabhama, of the practices of women that are wicked.
Mbh.3.231.11762	Indeed, O Satyabhama, I always am engaged in waiting upon my lords.
Mbh.3.231.11795	This, O Satyabhama, hath ever been my charm for making my husbands obedient to me!
Mbh.3.231.11798	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing those words of virtuous import uttered by Krishna, Satyabhama, having first reverenced the virtuous princess of Panchala, answered saying, O princess of Panchala, I have been guilty, O daughter of Yajnasena, forgive me!
Mbh.3.232.11802	In all the worlds, including that of the celestials, there is no god equal, O Satyabhama, unto the husband.
Mbh.3.232.11814	And, O Satyabhama, whatever thy lord speaketh before thee, do not blab of it even if it may not deserve concealment, for if any of thy co-wives were to speak of it unto Vasudeva, he might be irritated with thee.
Mbh.3.233.11821	SECTION CCXXXIII Vaisampayana said, Then Kesava, the slayer of Madhu, also called Janardana, having conversed on various agreeable themes with the illustrious sons of Pandu and with those Brahmanas that were headed by Markandeya and having bid them farewell, mounted his car and called for Satyabhama.
Mbh.3.233.11822	And Satyabhama then, having embraced the daughter of Drupada, addressed her in these cordial words expressive of her feelings towards her: O Krishna, let there be no anxiety, no grief, for thee!
Mbh.3.233.11838	Having said these agreeable and truthful and cordial words, Satyabhama desired to go to Vasudeva's car.
Mbh.3.233.11840	And having done so the beautiful Satyabhama mounted the car of Krishna.
Mbh.4.9.359	Formerly I served Krishna's favourite queen Satyabhama, and also Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas and the foremost beauty of the Kuru race.
Mbh.5.59.3242	Neither Abhimanyu nor the Twins can repair to that place where are the two Krishnas and Draupadi and lady Satyabhama.
Mbh.5.59.3245	And I beheld Kesava's feet resting upon Arjuna's lap while those of the high-souled Arjuna rested upon the laps of Krishna and Satyabhama.
Mbh.16.3.107	Hearing the narrative, Satyabhama, giving way to wrath and tears, approached Keshava and sitting on his lap enhanced his anger for Kritavarma.
Mbh.16.7.345	Satyabhama and other dear wives of Krishna entered the woods, O king, resolved to set themselves to the practice of penances.
