Savyasachin

Mbh.1.198.9876	And Arjuna amongst the Pandavas, called also Savyasachin using both hands with equal dexterity is a portion of Sakra'
Mbh.3.4.295	What is there in the world which is unattainable to those who cannot among their warriors Savyasachin skilled in arms; who have the Gandiva, the most powerful of all weapons in the world, for their bow; and who have amongst them the mighty Bhima also as a warrior?
Mbh.3.12.722	And, O Krishna, as thou hadst acquired Rukmini, the daughter of Bhishmaka, even so Savyasachin, while residing there, obtained me!
Mbh.3.91.4924	And as for the fear of Karna which is in thy heart, O repressor of foes, I shall dispel when Savyasachin will have left heaven.
Mbh.3.140.7111	O king, O mighty monarch, we are all eager to behold Savyasachin, and therefore, will we all go together.
Mbh.3.167.8394	And, O foremost of men, O mighty monarch, they after having cheered me said, O Savyasachin, behold us, the Lokapalas, seated.
Mbh.4.39.1589	This chastiser of foes is the valiant son of Pritha surnamed Savyasachin.
Mbh.4.44.1677	They are Arjuna, Falguna, Jishnu, Kiritin, Swetavahana, Vibhatsu, Vijaya, Krishna, Savyasachin and Dhananjaya
Mbh.4.44.1679	Why art thou named Krishna and why Arjuna and Falguna and Jishnu and Kiritin and Vibhatsu, and for what art thou Dhananjaya and Savyasachin?
Mbh.4.44.1687	And since both of my hands are capable of drawing the Gandiva, I am known as Savyasachin among gods and men.
Mbh.4.46.1790	Meanwhile, Drona said, From the rattle of the car, and from the manner in which the clouds have enveloped the sky and the earth itself trembles, this warrior can be none else than Savyasachin.
Mbh.4.57.2195	Then regaining his proper place, Gautama quickly pierced Savyasachin with ten arrows furnished with feathers of the Kanka bird.
Mbh.4.61.2402	Vaisampayana continued, Thus assured by Savyasachin, the son of Virata penetrated into that fierce array of cars protected by Bhishma.
Mbh.4.66.2585	I shall not, however, O Savyasachin, discover thee to my father, as long as thou wilt not tell me to do it'
Mbh.4.71.2790	And let Dhananjaya, called also Savyasachin, accept the hand of Uttara: for that best of men is fit to be her lord'
Mbh.5.22.922	That wielder of the Gandiva, Savyasachin, seated on his car, would alone be able to devastate the whole world.
Mbh.5.48.2730	O Savyasachin, thou shalt have to fight with thy foes.
Mbh.5.54.2997	This, however, I do not understand, how when thou art always wise and especially acquainted with the prowess of Savyasachin, thou followest yet the counsels of thy sons.
Mbh.5.55.3105	There are other kings also, who firm in their resolve of slaying Savyasachin, regard him as unequal to themselves.
Mbh.5.57.3175	Those that have Yudhishthira for their leader, the slayer of Madhu for their protector, the heroic Savyasachin and Vrikodara for their warriors, and Nakula, and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata, and Satyaki, and Drupada, and Dhrishtaketu with his son, and Uttamaujas, and the unconquerable Yudhamanyu of the Panchalas, and Sikhandin, and Kshatradeva, and Uttara, the son of Virata, and Kasayas, the Chedis, the Matsyas, the Srinjayas, Vabhru the son of Virata, the Panchalas, and the Prabhadrakas, for fighting for them, those, indeed, from whom Indra himself cannot, if they are unwilling, snatch this earth, those heroes, cool and steady, in fight, who can split the very mountains, alas, it is with them that are endued with every virtue and possessed of superhuman prowess that this wicked son of mine, O Sanjaya, desireth to fight, disregarding me even though I am crying myself hoarse'
Mbh.5.57.3201	There is no warrior on the earth like unto Savyasachin, son of Pandu, of prowess incapable of being baffled.
Mbh.5.59.3260	Ye have provoked hostilities with that Savyasachin, who hath for his bow the invincible Gandiva, of fiery energy, and who hath me for his helpmate.
Mbh.5.64.3403	It is true, Duryodhana desireth an encounter in battle with Savyasachin, but I do not see that energy or prowess in him which may carry him safe through it.
Mbh.5.95.4464	If with Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and Vivingsati, and Aswatthaman, Vikarna, and Somadatta, and Vahlika and the chief of the Sindhus, and the ruler of the Kalingas, and Sudakshina, the king of the Kamvojas, there were Yudhishthira, and Bhimasena and Savyasachin, and the twins, and if Satyaki of mighty energy, and Yuyutsu, that mighty car warrior, are stationed, who is there, O bull of Bharata's race, of such misdirected intelligence that would fight these?
Mbh.5.137.6144	O thou of unfading glory, thou knowest how steady, in truth, is Vibhatsu, otherwise called Savyasachin, how irresistible he is.
Mbh.5.146.6542	Slaying Arjuna in battle, I shall achieve great merit, or slain by Savyasachin, I shall be covered with glory.
Mbh.5.151.6772	After the two sons of Madri had thus expressed their individual opinions, Vasava's son, Savyasachin, who was equal to Vasava himself, said these words, This celestial person of the hue of fire and endued with mighty arms, who sprang into life through the power of ascetic penances and the gratification of sages; who issued from the sacrificial fire-hole armed with bow and sword, accoutred in armour of steel, mounted on a car unto which were yoked excellent steeds of the best breed, and the clatter of whose car-wheels was as deep as the roar of mighty masses of clouds; this hero endued with that energy and strength and resembling the very lion in his frame of body and prowess, and possessed of leonine shoulders, arms, chest, and voice like the lion's roar; this hero of great effulgence; this warrior of handsome brows, fine teeth, round cheeks, long arms, of stout make, excellent thighs, large expansive eyes, excellent legs, and strong frame; this prince who is incapable of being penetrated by weapons of any kind, and who looks like an elephant with rent temples; this Dhrishtadyumna, truthful in speech, and with passions under control, was born for the destruction of Drona.
Mbh.5.155.6893	Hearing these words of king Yudhishthira the Just, Savyasachin repeated to his elder brother all those words that Vasudeva had said.
Mbh.5.155.6897	Hearing this speech of Savyasachin, Vasudeva also said unto Partha, It is even so as thou hast said.
Mbh.6.55.2944	Thereupon the kings on the Kuru side, headed by Bhishma and Drona and with cars, elephants and steeds, rushed impetuously at Savyasachin.
Mbh.6.56.2979	Then that chastiser of foes, Savyasachin, beholding the host disposed in battle-array, aided by Dhrishtadyumna, disposed his troops in counter-array.
Mbh.6.57.3005	And so the formidable array of the Pandava also, protected by Savyasachin, and well-guarded by Bhima, could not be broken.
Mbh.6.118.6476	Thus deprived of their cars and vanquished in battle by Savyasachin, Kripa and Salya, O sire, and Dussasana, and Vikarna and Vivingsati, all fled away.
Mbh.6.120.6686	Vanquished by Savyasachin, with our foremost heroes slain, and ourselves mangled with sharp arrows, we knew not what to do.
Mbh.7.3.108	SECTION III Sanjaya said, Beholding the grandsire, viz, the venerable Bhishma, that destroyer of all the Kshatriyas, that hero of righteous soul and immeasurable energy, that great bowman thrown down from his car by Savyasachin with his celestial weapons, lying on a bed of arrows, and looking like the vast ocean dried up by mighty winds, the hope of thy sons for victory had disappeared along with their coats of mail and peace of mind.
Mbh.7.3.118	Today the Kauravas, acquainted with the force of Gandiva's twang, will regard Savyasachin, like the Asuras regarding the wielder of the thunder-bolt, with terror.
Mbh.7.73.3202	That vow of Savyasachin the very gods and Gandharvas and Asuras and Uragas and Rakshasas cannot venture to frustrate!
Mbh.7.77.3368	If we have achieved any religious merit, if we have ever poured libations of clarified butter into fire, let Savyasachin, aided by the fruits thereof, vanquish all his foes'
Mbh.7.77.3384	Tomorrow the three worlds with the gods, the Gandharvas, the Pisachas, the Snakes, and the Rakshasas, will know me as a true friend of Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.83.3646	Knowing, as they did, the achievements of Savyasachin, O tell me, how the Kauravas, could, having perpetrated such a wrong, remain fearlessly.
Mbh.7.86.3786	SECTION LXXXVIII Sanjaya said, After the divisions of the Kuru army had been thus arrayed, and a loud uproar, O sire, had, arisen; after drums and Mridangas began to be beaten and played upon, after the din of the warriors and the noise of musical instruments had become audible; after conch began to be blown, and an awful roar had arisen, making the hair stand on end; after the field of battle had beer slowly covered by the Bharata heroes desirous of fight; and after the hour called Rudra had set in, Savyasachin made his appearance.
Mbh.7.86.3813	Sanjaya continued, Thus addressed by Savyasachin, the mighty-armed Kesava urged the steeds to where Durmarshana was staying.
Mbh.7.87.3856	And men and elephants were riven by Savyasachin with his shafts whose touch resembled that of snakes of virulent poison.
Mbh.7.88.3875	SECTION XC Sanjaya said, Slaying the force of Duhsasana, the mighty car-warrior, Savyasachin, desirous of getting at the ruler of the Sindhus, proceeded against the division of Drona, Having approached Drona who was stationed at the entrance of the array, Partha, at Krishna's request joined his hands and said these words unto Drona: Wish me well, O Brahmana, and bless me, saying Swasti!
Mbh.7.91.4103	SECTION XCIII Sanjaya said, After the son of Kunti, impelled by the desire of slaying the ruler of the Sindhus, had penetrated into the Bharata host having pierced through the irresistible divisions of both Drona and the Bhojas, after the heir of the ruler of the Kamvojas, viz, prince Sudakshina, had been slain, after Savyasachin had killed the valiant Srutayudha also, after the Kuru ranks had fled away and confusion had set in on all sides, thy son, beholding his army broken, repaired to Drona.
Mbh.7.100.4659	Then, Savyasachin commenced to cut off his enemy's car in fragments.
Mbh.7.107.5045	Like the very ocean at full tide agitated by a mighty tempest, the Dhartarashtra host, O sire, is agitated by Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.108.5122	Thou seest, therefore, O king, thou hast been made over to me as a trust by Savyasachin, O lord, in consequence of his constant fear of Bharadwaja's son.
Mbh.7.109.5191	Crushing them in battle for thy good, O Katirava, I shall then follow in the track of Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.109.5192	Those other elephants, O king, seven hundred in number, that thou seest, all cased in armour and ridden by Kiratas, and decked with ornaments, the king of the Kiratas, desirous of his life, had formerly presented to Savyasachin together with many servants in their train.
Mbh.7.109.5197	Formerly, they were all vanquished in battle by Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.111.5365	When that bull amongst the Pandavas, on his single car, hath speedily gone, piercing through that army of mine vast though it be like the ocean, and when Yuyudhana also hath followed him, I do not, O Sanjaya, see the prospect of even a remnant of my troops being left alive by Savyasachin, and that foremost of car-warriors belonging to the Satwata race.
Mbh.7.111.5379	Yet on the very approach of Savyasachin, have they been vanquished by him and by the grandson of Sini.
Mbh.7.116.5637	I think, I am very near to Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.118.5739	When Yuyudhana who is equal to Savyasachin himself was before them, how, indeed, could those wretches, that were at the point of death, set their hearts upon battle?
Mbh.7.123.6068	Casting his eyes around in expectation of seeing Savyasachin, Yudhishthira, however, saw neither that son of Pritha nor Madhava.
Mbh.7.124.6156	Without doubt, Savyasachin having fallen into great distress, the bearer of the discus and the mace is battling with all the Kurus.
Mbh.7.127.6356	The two protectors of the wheels of Arjuna's car, viz, the Panchala princes, Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, were at that time proceeding towards Savyasachin by the skirts of the Kuru array.
Mbh.7.136.6824	The son of Pandu, therefore, though competent, spared the life of Karna, from desire of not falsifying the vow that Savyasachin had made.
Mbh.7.136.6860	Bhimasena also, O bull among men, mounting upon Satyaki's car, proceeded in that battle in the wake of his brother Savyasachin, the son of Pandu.
Mbh.7.142.7272	Desirous of baffling the vow of Savyasachin, thy warriors, excited with wrath, quickly rushed at Dhananjaya from all sides.
Mbh.7.144.7476	While Savyasachin was thus lamenting for Kripa, the son of Radha, beholding the ruler of the Sindhu slain, rushed towards him.
Mbh.7.144.7482	Thus addressed by Savyasachin, the mighty-armed Kesava, endued with great energy, replied in these opportune words, The mighty-armed Satyaki is singly a match for Karna, O son of Pandu!
Mbh.7.147.7711	Another disciple of thine, viz, the invincible Savyasachin, having slain seven.
Mbh.7.148.7739	SECTION CI Dhritarashtra said, After the ruler of the Sindhus had been slain in battle by Savyasachin and after the fall of Bhurisravas, what became the state of your mind?
Mbh.7.155.8350	With that I will slay Savyasachin in battle.
Mbh.7.168.9098	Savyasachin, O Bharata, is before us, coming towards this division of Drona, knowing that Satyaki is engaged here with many chief among the Kurus.
Mbh.7.170.9164	SECTION CLXXII Sanjaya said, Beholding his own army routed while being slaughtered by those illustrious heroes, thy son, well-acquainted with words, O monarch, quickly repairing unto Karna and Drona, that foremost of all victors in battle, wrathfully said these words, This battle has been set on foot by you two in rage, having seen the ruler of the Sindhus slain by Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.181.9888	Having caused a great slaughter amongst us, and in the very sight of Savyasachin, Karna, O Krishna, hath slain Bhimasena's son of great strength, the Rakshasa, Ghatotkacha.
Mbh.7.181.9889	When Abhimanyu was slain by the wicked Dhartarashtras, the mighty car-warrior Savyasachin, O Krishna, was not present in that battle.
Mbh.7.181.9915	Indeed, Karna had kept his dart, desirous of slaying Savyasachin, O bull of Bharata's race, by good luck Jishnu did not engage in single combat with Karna.
Mbh.7.184.10079	Sanjaya continued, Thus urged by Bhima and Kesava, Savyasachin prevailing over Drona and Karna, began to resist the foe all round.
Mbh.7.198.11246	Darkness having enveloped the world during that fierce battle, the entire Pandava army, with Savyasachin, the son of Panda, could not be seen.
Mbh.14.72.3204	Vaisampayana continued, The righteous-souled king Yudhishthira, having said so unto his brother Savyasachin, commanded Bhima and Nakula to protect the city.
