Mbh.1.1.163 | When I heard that Arjuna, having placed Sikhandin before himself in his chariot, had wounded Bhishma of infinite courage and invincible in battle, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success. |
Mbh.1.63.3185 | And from Drupada was born a daughter Sikhandin who was afterwards transformed into a male child. |
Mbh.1.67.3545 | And know also that Sikhandin, who was at first a female, was the incarnation of a Rakshasa. |
Mbh.1.201.9975 | Beholding the mighty sons of Pritha, escaped from the burning house of lac and allied with Drupada, and thinking of Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin and the other sons of Drupada all accomplished in fight, they were struck with fear and overcome with despair. |
Mbh.3.12.743 | Dhrishtadyumna said, I will slay Drona, Sikhandin will slay the grandfather. |
Mbh.4.72.2814 | And the mighty Drupada, also with the heroic sons of Draupadi and the unvanquished Sikhandin, and that foremost of wielder of weapons, the invincible Dhrishtadyumna came there with another Akshauhini of troops. |
Mbh.5.48.2672 | Just these are the words spoken by Arjuna, the wielder of Gandiva, eager for the fight and with eyes red as the lotus, If Dhritarashtra's son doth not surrender to king Yudhishthira of the Ajamida race, his kingdom, then it is evident there must be some sinful act committed by the sons of Dhritarashtra, whose consequences are yet unreaped by them, for it can be nothing else when they desire battle with Bhimasena and Arjuna, and the Aswins and Vasudeva and Sini's son, and Dhrishtadyumna infallible in arms, and Sikhandin, and Yudhishthira, who is like Indra himself and who can consume heaven and earth by merely wishing them ill. |
Mbh.5.48.2701 | I tell thee truly that when that foremost of Kaurava heroes, the virtuous son of Santanu, will be slain in battle by Sikhandin, then all our foes, without doubt, will perish. |
Mbh.5.48.2702 | Indeed, when, overthrowing numerous car-warriors, Sikhandin, seated on his own well-protected car, will proceed towards Bhishma, crushing multitudes of hostile cars by means of his own powerful steeds, then will the son of Dhritarashtra repent for this war. |
Mbh.5.50.2869 | She, who, while living of yore as the daughter of the king of Kasi, had practised the austerest penances; she, who, O bull of the Bharata race, desiring even in a subsequent life to compass the destruction of Bhishma, took her birth as the daughter of Panchala, and accidentally became afterwards a male; who, O tiger among men, is conversant with the merits and demerits of both sexes; that invincible prince of the Panchala who encountered the Kalingas in battle, with what Sikhandin skilled in every weapon, will the Pandavas fight against you. |
Mbh.5.57.3149 | And Drupada, the king of the Panchalas, surrounded by his ten heroic sons, Satyajit and others, headed by Dhrishtadyumna, and well-protected by Sikhandin, and having furnished his soldiers with every necessary thing, hath come there with a full Akshauhini, desirous of honouring Yudhishthira. |
Mbh.5.57.3155 | O king, Bhishma, the son of Santanu, has been assigned to Sikhandin as his share; and Virata with all his Matsya warriors will support Sikhandin. |
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.5.83.3983 | And the valiant Chekitana and Dhrishtaketu, the ruler of the Chedis, and Drupada and the king of Kasi and that mighty car-warrior Sikhandin, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Virata with his sons, and the princes of Kekaya also, all these Kshatriyas followed that bull of the Kshatriya race to honour him. |
Mbh.5.126.5592 | As yet Nakula, and Sahadeva, Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and Virata, and Sikhandin, and Sisupal's son, accoutred in mail and all well-versed in arms, do not penetrate thy ranks, like huge crocodiles penetrating the deep, and pour their arrowy showers, so let hostility cease. |
Mbh.5.140.6279 | Then Nakula and Sahadeva, and the five sons of Draupadi, and the Panchalas with that mighty car-warrior Sikhandin, will all proceed behind thee. |
Mbh.5.141.6324 | Dhrishtadyumna, the prince of the Panchalas, that mighty car-warrior Satyaki, Uttamaujas, Yudhamanyu, the prince of Somakas who is devoted to truth, the ruler of the Chedis, Chekitana, the invincible Sikhandin, the Kekaya brothers, all of the hue of Indragopaka insects, Bhimasena's uncle Kuntibhoja of high soul and possessed of steeds endued with the colours of the rainbow, the mighty car-warrior Syenajit, Sanka the son of Virata, and thyself, O Janardana, like an ocean, great is this assemblage, O Krishna, of Kshatriyas that hath been made by Yudhishthira. |
Mbh.5.141.6349 | When the two princes of Panchala Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin will overthrow Drona and Bhishma, then, O Janardana, will this sacrifice be suspended for an interval. |
Mbh.5.151.6761 | They are Drupada, and Virata, and Dhristadyumna, and Sikhandin, and Satyaki, Chekitana, and Bhimasena of great energy. |
Mbh.5.151.6777 | Bhima then said, That son of Drupada, Sikhandin, who is born for the destruction of Bhishma, as is said, O king, by the sages and Siddhas assembled together, whose form on the field of battle, while displaying celestial weapons, will be seen by men to resemble that of the illustrious Rama himself, I see not, O king, the person who is able to pierce with weapons that Sikhandin, when he is stationed for battle on his car, accoutred in mail. |
Mbh.5.151.6778 | Except the heroic Sikhandin, there is no other warrior who is able to slay Bhishma in single combat. |
Mbh.5.151.6779 | It is for this, O king, that I think Sikhandin is fit to be our generalissimo' |
Mbh.5.152.6815 | And the princes of Kekaya, and Dhrishtaketu, and the son of the king of the Kasis, and Srenimat, and Vasudana, and the invincible Sikhandin, all hale and hearty, cased in armour and armed with weapons and decked with ornaments, marched behind Yudhishthira, keeping him in their centre. |
Mbh.5.154.6839 | The son of Pandu, with Vasudeva and Virata and Drupada and Dhrishtadyumna, the Panchala prince and that mighty car-warrior Sikhandin and powerful Yudhamanyu, incapable of being resisted by the very gods, might trouble the deities themselves in battle with Indra at their head. |
Mbh.5.161.7189 | Tell, next, repeatedly from me, O Uluka, unto Sikhandin, these words, viz, The mighty-armed Kaurava, foremost of all bowmen, Ganga's son Bhishma, will not slay thee, knowing thee to be only a female! |
Mbh.5.163.7342 | And Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin and that mighty car-warrior, Satyaki, and the five Kekaya brothers, and the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, the sons of Draupadi, and Abhimanyu, and king Dhrishtaketu, and Bhimasena, endued with great prowess, and those mighty car-warriors, the twins, jumped up from their seats, their eyes red with anger, tossing their handsome arms decked with red sandal-paste and ornaments of gold. |
Mbh.5.164.7461 | After them, Sikhandin said these words unto Uluka, Thou must say unto king Duryodhana who is always addicted to sinfulness, these words, viz, See, O king, what fierce deed is perpetrated by me in battle! |
Mbh.5.164.7474 | And he also faithfully communicated unto Dhritarashtra's son the words of Vasudeva, of Bhima, of king Yudhishthira the Just, of Nakula and Virata and Drupada, O Bharata and the words of Sahadeva and Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin, and the words also that were spoken subsequently by Kesava and Arjuna. |
Mbh.5.165.7484 | And he placed Sikhandin in the van, pitting him against Bhishma. |
Mbh.5.172.7739 | SECTION CLXXII Bhishma said, That subjugator of hostile cities, Sikhandin, the son of the king of the Panchalas, is, O king, in my judgment, one of the foremost of Yudhishthira's Rathas. |
Mbh.5.173.7792 | But, thou of mighty arms, I will not strike or slay Sikhandin the prince of Panchalas, even if I behold him rushing against me in battle with weapons upraised. |
Mbh.5.173.7796 | It may be known to you, O king, that Sikhandin was formerly a woman. |
Mbh.5.174.7801 | SECTION CLXXIV Duryodhana said, For what reason, O chief of the Bharatas, wilt thou not slay Sikhandin even if thou beholdest him approach thee as a foe with arms upraised? |
Mbh.5.174.7802 | Thou hadst, O mighty-armed one, formerly told me, I will slay the Panchalas with the Somakas, O son of Ganga, tell me, O grandsire the reason of the present reservation' Bhishma said, Listen, O Duryodhana, to this history, with all these lords of earth, as to why I will not slay Sikhandin even if I behold him in battle! |
Mbh.5.191.8547 | SECTION CXCI Duryodhana said, Tell me, O grandsire, how Sikhandin, O Ganga's son, having before been born a daughter, afterwards became a man, O foremost of warriors' |
Mbh.5.191.8570 | And, O king, Drupada caused all the rites of infancy, prescribed for a son, to be performed in respect of that child, and he bestowed the name of Sikhandin on her. |
Mbh.5.192.8585 | After this, the royal Drupada, that lion among kings, having enquired about the purity of descent, of all the rulers of the earth, selected the daughter of the king of Dasarnakas for wife to Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.192.8586 | He, who was called the king of the Dasarnakas was named Hiranyavarman; and he gave away his daughter to Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.192.8590 | And Sikhandin, after marriage, came back to Kampilya. |
Mbh.5.192.8592 | And the daughter of Hiranyavarman, having ascertained that Sikhandin was really a woman, bashfully represented unto her nurses and companions everything about the so-called son of the king of the Panchalas. |
Mbh.5.193.8609 | And it was settled among those high-souled kings that if, O monarch, Sikhandin was really a daughter, they should bind the ruler of the Panchalas and drag him from his city, and installing another king over the Panchalas they should slay Drupada with Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.193.8614 | And possessed with great fright and with heart afflicted with grief, the king of the Panchalas said unto his favourite wife, the mother of Sikhandin, these words, My powerful brother, king Hiranyavarman, having mustered a large force, is coming towards me in anger. |
Mbh.5.193.8616 | Thy son, Sikhandin, hath been suspected to be a daughter. |
Mbh.5.193.8620 | I am very much endangered and this child, Sikhandin, also is equally so. |
Mbh.5.194.8631 | Then, O mighty-armed king, Sikhandin's mother represented unto her lord the truth about her daughter, Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.195.8704 | The king of the Panchalas then, with Sikhandin, offered the envoy, O king, a cow and honey. |
Mbh.5.195.8715 | Then the king of the Dasarnakas, having heard the words of Drupada, was filled with sorrow and despatched a number of young ladies of great beauty for ascertaining whether Sikhandin was a male or female. |
Mbh.5.195.8716 | Despatched by him, those ladies, having ascertained the truth joyfully told the king of the Dasarnakas everything, viz, that Sikhandin, O chief of the Kurus, was a powerful person of the masculine sex. |
Mbh.5.195.8718 | And the king, rejoiced as he was, gave unto Sikhandin much wealth, many elephants and steeds and kine. |
Mbh.5.195.8720 | And after king Hiranyavarman, the ruler of the Dasarnakas had departed in joy and with his anger quelled, Sikhandin began to rejoice exceedingly. |
Mbh.5.195.8745 | And when the time came, Sikhandin without losing a moment came unto that wanderer of the night. |
Mbh.5.195.8748 | Indeed, beholding that prince return to him without guile, Sthuna told Sikhandin everything that had happened. |
Mbh.5.195.8753 | Bhishma continued, Thus addressed by the Kaksha, Sthuna, Sikhandin, O Bharata, came to his city, filled with great joy. |
Mbh.5.195.8755 | And Drupada, the ruler of the Panchalas, along with his son Sikhandin whose wishes had been crowned with success, and with also his kinsmen, became exceedingly glad. |
Mbh.5.195.8756 | And the king then, O bull of Kuru's race, gave his son, Sikhandin, who had been a woman, as a pupil, O monarch, to Drona. |
Mbh.5.195.8757 | An prince Sikhandin obtained, along with yourselves, the whole science of arms with its four divisions. |
Mbh.5.195.8761 | Sikhandin, the son of Drupada, having first been born a female, subsequently became a person of the other sex. |
Mbh.5.195.8762 | And it was the eldest daughter of the ruler of Kasi, celebrated by the name of Amva, who was, O bull of Bharata's race, born in Drupada's line as Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.195.8765 | I will not, for this reason, slay Sikhandin. |
Mbh.5.197.8819 | Thou hast for thy allies Sikhandin, and Yuyudhana and Dhristadyumna of Prishata's race; and Bhimasena, and these twins, and Yudhamanyu, and Uttamaujas, and Virata and Drupada who are equal in battle unto Bhishma and Drona; and the mighty-armed Sankha, and Hidimva's son of great might; and this latter's son Anjanparvan endued with great strength and prowess; and Sini's descendant of mighty arms and well-versed in battle, and the mighty Abhimanyu and the five sons of Draupadi! |
Mbh.5.199.8841 | Indeed, he ordered that slayer of foes and commander of force, that leader, steady in prowess, of the Chedis, the Kasis, and the Karushas, viz, Dhrishtaketu, as also Virata, and Drupada, and Yuyudhana, and Sikhandin, and those two mighty bowmen, those two princes of Panchala, viz, Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, to set out. |
Mbh.6.13.698 | O king, relying on whose energy thy son had been engaged in that match at dice, now lieth on the field of battle slain by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.13.699 | That mighty car-warrior who on a single car had vanquished in terrific combat at the city of Kasi all the kings of the Earth mustered together, he who had fearlessly fought in battle with Rama, the son of Jamadagni, he whom Jamadagni's son could not slay, oh, even hath he been to-day slain by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.14.703 | SECTION XIV Dhritarashtra said, How hath Bhishma, that bull among the Kurus, been slain by Sikhandin? |
Mbh.6.14.721 | How could Bhishma who was reckoned as an Atiratha and who could not be resisted by the very gods, be slain in battle by Sikhandin, the prince of Panchala? |
Mbh.6.14.725 | When all the Pandavas placing Sikhandin in their van advanced against Bhishma, did not all the Kurus O Sanjaya, stay by the side of that hero of unfading prowess? |
Mbh.6.14.751 | Endued with great intelligence, he that was not slain even by that slayer of hostile heroes, that Rama, the son of Jamadagni, who defeated in battle crowds of Kshatriyas repeatedly, he hath now been slain by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.14.752 | Without doubt, Drupada's son Sikhandin, therefore who hath slain in battle that bull of Bharata's race, that hero acquainted with the highest weapons, that brave and accomplished warrior conversant with every weapon, is superior in energy, prowess, and might to the invincible Vargava endued with the highest energy. |
Mbh.6.15.800 | That warrior of pure soul said, I will not slay Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.15.804 | Let all my warriors take up their positions, resolved to slay Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.15.807 | Let us not, therefore, cause Bhishma to be slain by Sikhandin like the lion slain by the jackal. |
Mbh.6.15.809 | Protected by those two, Phalguni himself protects Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.15.810 | O Dussasana, act in such a way that Sikhandin who is protected by Phalguni and whom Bhishma will renounce, may not slay Ganga's son |
Mbh.6.19.917 | And behind him was Sikhandin who in his turn was protected by Arjuna, and who, O bull of Bharata's race, advanced with concentrated attention for the destruction of Bhishma. |
Mbh.6.22.999 | In the centre of the Pandava army was Sikhandin and his troops, protected by Arjuna. |
Mbh.6.25.1086 | And that splendid bowman, the ruler of Kasi and that mighty car-warrior, Sikhandin, Dhrishtadyumna, Virata, and that unvanquished Satyaki, and Drupada, and the sons of Draupadi, and the mighty-armed son of Subhadra, all these, O lord of earth, severally blew their conches. |
Mbh.6.45.2244 | The powerful Sikhandin, O king, rushed against Drona's son, Aswatthaman, however deeply piercing the angry Sikhandin stationed before him with a keen-edged shaft, caused him to tremble, Sikhandin also, O king, smote Drona's son with a sharp-whetted shaft of excellent temper. |
Mbh.6.48.2418 | O Bharata, unto thy royal son and with Sikhandin also at their head, desired to rescue Sweta. |
Mbh.6.48.2534 | And when that great bowman was slain by Bhishma, that ornament of battle, the mighty bowmen of the Pandava side with Sikhandin at their head, trembled in fear. |
Mbh.6.50.2630 | This mighty car-warrior Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race placed in command of thy army is always desirous of thy welfare and engaged in doing that which is agreeable to thee, as also this Sikhandin, O thou of mighty arms, who is certainly the slayer of Bhishma. |
Mbh.6.51.2676 | And the ruler of Kasi, and Saivya, and Sikhandin the mighty car-warrior, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Virata, and the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, and that great bowman the king of the Panchalas, and the five sons of Draupadi, all blew their large conches and set up leonine roars. |
Mbh.6.54.2891 | Hearing the words of their commander, many leaders of the Pandava army headed by Sikhandin approached Bhima, supported by many car-divisions accomplished in smiting. |
Mbh.6.56.2984 | And Dhrishtadyumna, and Sikhandin, with the Panchalas and the Prabhadrakas, and supported by other troops, were stationed in the middle, O Bharata, for battle. |
Mbh.6.63.3403 | And in that dreadful, fierce, and terrific encounter his brother and sons and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, and the sons of Draupadi and Abhimanyu, and the unvanquished Sikhandin, these mighty warriors, did not abandon him from fear. |
Mbh.6.69.3741 | And in its two eyes were the invincible Sikhandin and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race. |
Mbh.6.69.3761 | Then in that fierce battle, the great bowman Sikhandin rushed against those two mighty warriors, viz, Bhishma and Drona who, excited with rage, had thus fallen upon the Pandavas. |
Mbh.6.69.3763 | The grandsire of the Bharatas, however, getting Sikhandin before him, avoided him, remembering the femininity of his sex. |
Mbh.6.69.3765 | Sikhandin, however, approaching Drona that foremost of all wielders of weapons, avoided, from fear, that warrior resembling the blazing fire that appears at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.71.3814 | And Vikarna engaged with Sahadeva, and Chitrasena with Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.72.3840 | SECTION LXXII Sanjaya said, Sikhandin with Virata king of the Matsyas speedily approached Bhishma that invincible and mighty bowman. |
Mbh.6.75.3969 | And that great bowman, the mighty Sikhandin, surrounded by the Somakas, and Iravat, were stationed in the tail of that Makara array. |
Mbh.6.82.4282 | And Bharadwaja's son proceeded against the king of the Matsyas, and his son Aswatthaman against Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.83.4335 | Sikhandin also, O king, getting at Drona's son in that battle, struck the latter between his brows with three swiftly coursing shafts. |
Mbh.6.83.4338 | Then that foremost of car-warriors, viz, Sikhandin, that scorcher of foes, jumping down from that car whose steeds had been slain, and taking up a sharp and polished scimitar and a shield, excited with rage, moved on the field with great activity like a hawk. |
Mbh.6.83.4341 | And then, O bull of Bharata's race, the highly wrathful son of Drona sent after Sikhandin in that battle many thousands of shafts. |
Mbh.6.83.4342 | But Sikhandin, that foremost of mighty men, with his sharp sword cut that fierce shower of arrows coming towards him. |
Mbh.6.83.4343 | Then the son of Drona cut into pieces that resplendent and beautiful shield decked with a hundred moons and then that sword also of Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.83.4345 | Then Sikhandin, whirling the fragment in his hand of that sword of his which had been cut off by Aswatthaman with his arrows and which resembled a blazing snake, quickly hurled it at him. |
Mbh.6.83.4347 | And he pierced Sikhandin himself with innumerable arrows made of iron. |
Mbh.6.83.4348 | Then Sikhandin, O King, exceedingly afflicted with those whetted arrows, speedily mounted on the car of Satyaki that high-souled scion of Madhu's race. |
Mbh.6.86.4513 | Then the Pandava warrior headed by Sikhandin, beholding those combatants advancing upon Dhananjaya that foremost of all conversant with arms, proceeded with whetted weapons in hand, desirous of protecting the car of Arjuna. |
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.6.86.4523 | The high-souled Ajatasatru, angrily addressing Sikhandin in that battle, said these words, Thou saidst at that time, in the presence of thy sire, unto me, Even I shall slay Bhishma of high vows with my shafts of the hue of the effulgent sun. |
Mbh.6.86.4535 | Hearing these words of king, Yudhishthira the just, that were harsh, though fraught with sound reason, the high-souled Sikhandin, regarding them as good counsel, speedily set himself about slaying Bhishma |
Mbh.6.86.4536 | And while Sikhandin was proceeding to battle with great impetuosity for falling upon Bhishma, Salya began to resist him with terrible weapons that were difficult of being baffled. |
Mbh.6.86.4538 | Checking those weapons by means of his own shafts, that mighty bowman, viz, Sikhandin, stayed there without moving. |
Mbh.6.86.4540 | Then the celestials staying in the firmament, and the kings of the earth also, all beheld Salya's weapons baffled by that Varuna weapon of Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.87.4579 | Then Sikhandin, sighting the grandsire of the Bharatas, rushed at him impetuously, saying, Wait, Wait, Remembering, however, the femininity of Sikhandin, and disregarding him on that account, Bhishma proceeded against the Srinjayas. |
Mbh.6.90.4725 | Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin, and the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, accompanied, O king, by their forces, proceeded against Bhishma alone. |
Mbh.6.99.5282 | As regards myself, I will, O tiger among men, slay all the Somakas and the Panchalas assembled together, avoiding Sikhandin alone. |
Mbh.6.99.5284 | Sikhandin was born in Drupada's palace as female at first. |
Mbh.6.99.5311 | This Sikhandin, O king, was first born a female. |
Mbh.6.99.5320 | Let not Ganga's son be slain by Sikhandin like the lion slain by the wolf. |
Mbh.6.99.5329 | And thus protected Arjuna protects Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.99.5330 | O Dussasana, adopt such steps that, protected by Partha, Sikhandin may not be able to slay Bhishma left unprotected by us' |
Mbh.6.99.5332 | Beholding Bhishma thus surrounded by a large number of cars, Arjuna, that foremost of car-warriors, addressed Dhrishtadyumna and said, O prince, place that tiger among men, Sikhandin, today in front of Bhishma, I myself will be his protector, O prince of Panchala |
Mbh.6.100.5343 | And Sikhandin, and Vijaya Arjuna, and the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, and Chekitana of mighty arms, and the valiant Kuntibhoja, stood for battle, surrounded by a large force. |
Mbh.6.104.5528 | Then Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin and Virata and Drupada, falling upon Bhishma in that battle, struck that mighty car-warrior with numerous arrows. |
Mbh.6.104.5531 | Then Sikhandin pierced the grandsire of the Bharatas with many shafts. |
Mbh.6.104.5534 | And Drupada pierced Bhishma with five and twenty shafts, and Virata pierced him with ten, and Sikhandin with five and twenty. |
Mbh.6.108.5866 | That mighty car-warrior, the son of Drupada, O king, whom thou hast in thy army, who is known by the name of Sikhandin, who is wrathful in battle, brave, and ever victorious, was a female before but subsequently obtained manhood. |
Mbh.6.108.5868 | Brave in battle and clad in mail, let Arjuna, keeping Sikhandin before him, attack me with his sharp shafts. |
Mbh.6.108.5872 | Let Vibhatsu, therefore, armed with weapons, struggling carefully in battle, with his excellent bow in hand, placing Sikhandin or something else before, throw, me down from my car. |
Mbh.6.108.5899 | Arjuna said, Sikhandin, O Krishna, will certainly be the cause of Bhishma's death, for Bhishma, as soon as he beholds the prince of the Panchalas, abstains from striking. |
Mbh.6.108.5900 | Therefore, keeping Sikhandin before him and at our head, we will, by that means, overthrow the son of Ganga. |
Mbh.6.108.5903 | As regards Sikhandin, he will fight with Bhishma alone, that foremost of all warriors. |
Mbh.6.108.5904 | I have heard from that chief of the Kurus that he would not strike Sikhandin, for having been born before as a woman he subsequently became a male person' |
Mbh.6.109.5907 | SECTION CIX Dhritarashtra said, How did Sikhandin advance against the son of Ganga in battle, and how did Bhishma also advance against the Pandavas? |
Mbh.6.109.5909 | Sanjaya said, Then all those Pandavas, towards the hour of sun-rise, with beat of drums and cymbals and smaller drums, and with the blare of conches of milky whiteness, all around, went out for battle, placing Sikhandin in their van. |
Mbh.6.109.5911 | And Sikhandin, O monarch, was stationed in the very van of all the troops. |
Mbh.6.109.5930 | And the Parthas with Arjuna at their head, placing Sikhandin in the van, proceeded against Bhishma in that battle, scattering diverse kinds of arrows. |
Mbh.6.109.5951 | In that battle on the tenth day, Bhishma, with his sharp shafts, consumed the division of Sikhandin like a conflagration consuming a forest. |
Mbh.6.109.5952 | Him resembling an angry snake of virulent poison, or the Destroyer urged by Death himself, Sikhandin pierced with three shafts in the centre of the chest. |
Mbh.6.109.5953 | Deeply pierced therewith, Bhishma saw that it was Sikhandin who was piercing him. |
Mbh.6.109.5954 | Excited with wrath, but unwilling to fight with Sikhandin Bhishma laughingly said, Whether thou choosest to strike me or not, I will never fight with thee. |
Mbh.6.109.5955 | Thou art that Sikhandin still which the Creator had made thee first Hearing these words of his, Sikhandin, deprived of his senses by wrath, and licking the corners of his mouth addressed Bhishma in that battle, saying, I know thee, O mighty-armed one, to be the exterminator of the Kshatriya race. |
Mbh.6.109.5965 | Sanjaya continued, Having said so, Sikhandin in that battle pierced Bhishma with five straight shafts, having already pierced him with his wordy shafts. |
Mbh.6.109.5966 | Hearing those words of his, the mighty car-warrior Arjuna, regarding Sikhandin to be Bhishma's Destroyer, urged him on, saying, I will fight behind thee, routing the foe with my shafts. |
Mbh.6.110.5980 | SECTION CX Dhritarashtra said, How did Sikhandin the prince of the Panchalas, excited with wrath, rushed in battle against the grandsire, viz, Ganga's son of righteous soul and regulated vows. |
Mbh.6.110.5981 | What mighty car-warriors of the Pandavas army, upraised weapons, desirous of victory, and exerting themselves with activity, protected Sikhandin on that occasion which required great activity? |
Mbh.6.110.5983 | I cannot brook the idea of Sikhandin encountering Bhishma in battle. |
Mbh.6.110.5984 | Indeed, when Sikhandin attacked Bhishma, was Bhishma's car or his bow broken |
Mbh.6.111.6017 | SECTION CXI Sanjaya said, Arjuna then, O king, beholding the prowess of Bhishma in battle, addressed Sikhandin saying, Proceed towards the grandsire. |
Mbh.6.111.6020 | Thus addressed by Partha, Sikhandin, O bull of Bharata's race, having heard those words, rushed at the son of Ganga. |
Mbh.6.111.6035 | And that great bowman, viz, Dussasana, in that battle, resisted Arjuna who was rushing with great speed, with Sikhandin before him, desirous of coming upon Bhishma, O monarch, and illuminating the ten quarters with his bright weapons. |
Mbh.6.112.6097 | That grinder of foes Sikhandin, then rushed at the of Ganga. |
Mbh.6.113.6158 | Bhishma said before that he would not slay Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.113.6185 | Take up thy mighty weapons, and with thy large bow in hand proceed against the royal son of Prishata viz, Sikhandin, and against Vrikodara. |
Mbh.6.114.6239 | Then Arjuna, desirous of slaying Bhishma, placing Sikhandin before him, approached Bhima who had been fighting with those great car-warriors and fell upon those fierce combatants, numbering ten, of thy army, O Bharata. |
Mbh.6.115.6279 | Sikhandin also, sighting the grandsire of the Bharatas, was filled with joy and rushed at him, abandoning all fear of the mighty car-warrior. |
Mbh.6.115.6280 | Then all the Parthas with Yudhishthira at their head, placing Sikhandin in the van, and uniting with the Srinjayas, fought with Bhishma in battle. |
Mbh.6.115.6281 | And similarly all the warriors of thy army, placing Bhishma of regulated vows in their van, fought in battle with all the Parthas headed by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.116.6313 | Without doubt, we will vanquish Bhishma today, placing Sikhandin in our van. |
Mbh.6.116.6314 | Having, on the tenth day of battle, made such a vow, the Pandavas, resolved to conquer or go to heaven, advanced, blinded by rage, with Sikhandin and Dhananjaya the son of Pandu to the fore. |
Mbh.6.116.6317 | Then those brave warriors of thy army, placing Bhishma of high vows in their van, battled with the Parthas headed by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.116.6318 | Supported by the Chedis and the Panchalas, the ape-bannered Arjuna, placing Sikhandin ahead, proceeded towards Bhishma, the son of Santanu. |
Mbh.6.116.6326 | Thy sons, accompanied by many kings, proceeded against Sikhandin and Dhananjaya the son of Pritha, from desire of slaughtering both of them. |
Mbh.6.117.6400 | The son of Kunti, meanwhile, O king, urged Sikhandin, saying, Proceed, proceed, towards Bhishma, and slay him, |
Mbh.6.117.6402 | Then Arjuna, O monarch, speedily proceeded towards Bhishma, placing Sikhandin ahead. |
Mbh.6.117.6406 | Sikhandin, however, without any anxiety, coming up at the grandsire of the Bharatas, quickly pierced him with great many arrows. |
Mbh.6.117.6424 | Indeed, no car-warrior ventured to approach Bhishma in battle, except the heroic Arjuna having white steeds yoked unto his car and owning Krishna for his charioteer, and Sikhandin, the prince of Panchala, of immeasurable energy |
Mbh.6.118.6425 | SECTION CXVIII Sanjaya said, Sikhandin, O bull among men, approaching Bhishma in battle, struck him in the centre of the chest with ten broad-headed arrows The son of Ganga, however, O Bharata, only looked at Sikhandin with wrath and as if consuming the Panchala prince with that look. |
Mbh.6.118.6427 | Sikhandin, however, understood it not. |
Mbh.6.118.6428 | Then Arjuna, O monarch, addressed Sikhandin, saying, Rush quickly and slay the grandsire. |
Mbh.6.118.6433 | Thus addressed by Partha, Sikhandin, O bull of Bharata's race, quickly covered the grandsire with diverse kinds of weapons. |
Mbh.6.118.6449 | Then Sikhandin, in that battle, O king, pierced the grandsire with many arrows whose touch resembled that of the bolts of heaven and which were as fatal as the poison of the snake. |
Mbh.6.118.6451 | Indeed, as a person afflicted with heat cheerfully receives torrents of rain, even so did the son of Ganga received those arrows of Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.118.6495 | Thereupon Sikhandin, clad in mail, rushed at Bhishma who was dashing towards Arjuna. |
Mbh.6.119.6534 | Then the king of the Panchalas the valiant Dhrishtaketu, Bhimasena the son of Pandu, Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata's race, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, Chekitana, and the five Kaikaya brothers, and the mighty-armed Satyaki and Subhadra's son, and Ghatotkacha, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Sikhandin, and the valiant Kuntibhoja, and Susarman, and Virata, these and many other powerful warriors of the Pandava army, afflicted by the shafts of Bhishma, seemed to sink in an ocean of grief, Phalguni, however, rescued them all. |
Mbh.6.119.6535 | Then Sikhandin, taking up a mighty weapon and protected by Kiritin, rushed impetuously towards Bhishma alone. |
Mbh.6.119.6542 | Frequently looking at Sikhandin the prince of the Panchalas with a laugh, he aimed not a single arrow at him, recollecting his femininity. |
Mbh.6.119.6546 | Then in that battle between him and them, which resembled the battle between the gods and the Asuras in days of old, the diadem-decked Arjuna, placing Sikhandin before him, pierced Bhishma repeatedly' |
Mbh.6.120.6547 | SECTION CXX Sanjaya said, Thus all the Pandavas, placing Sikhandin before them pierced Bhishma in that battle repeatedly surrounding him on all sides. |
Mbh.6.120.6560 | Those mighty shafts, whetted on stone and furnished with golden wings, which the great car-warrior Sikhandin shot, quickly penetrated into Bhishma's body. |
Mbh.6.120.6561 | Then the diadem-decked Arjuna, excited with wrath, and placing Sikhandin ahead rushed at Bhishma and cut off the latter's bow. |
Mbh.6.120.6570 | Sikhandin, however, that foremost of car-warriors, protected in the battle by the diadem-decked Arjuna, pierced Bhishma, in that encounter, with ten shafts after the latter's bow had been cut off. |
Mbh.6.120.6583 | For two reasons, however, I will not fight with the Pandavas, viz, their unslayableness, and the femininity of Sikhandin. |
Mbh.6.120.6596 | Then Sikhandin, O king, excited with rage, struck the grandsire of the Bharatas in the chest with nine sharp arrows. |
Mbh.6.120.6602 | Those arrows, however, endued with wings of gold and whetted on stone, which the mighty car-warrior Sikhandin shot in that battle, scarcely caused Bhishma any pain. |
Mbh.6.120.6603 | Then the diadem-decked Arjuna, excited with rage and placing Sikhandin to the fore, approached Bhishma nearer and once more cut off his bow. |
Mbh.6.120.6615 | While Bhishma was thus speaking to Dussasana, Phalguni with sharp shafts, and placing Sikhandin to the fore, pierced Bhishma in that battle. |
Mbh.6.121.6703 | Alas, he that was not slain by Jamadagni's son himself in days of old by means of even his celestial weapons, alas, he hath now been slain by Drupada's son Sikhandin, the prince of Panchala, |
Mbh.7.1.4 | Janamejaya said, Hearing that his sire Devavrata of unrivalled vigour and sturdiness, and might, energy and prowess, had been slain by Sikhandin, the prince of the Panchalas, what, indeed, O regenerate Rishi, did the powerful king Dhritarashtra with eyes bathed in tears do? |
Mbh.7.10.380 | What heroes of my army surrounded Sikhandin, that tiger among men, who knows the merits and demerits in his own person of manhood and femininity, that son of Yajnasena, who is always cheerful in battle, that hero who became the cause of the high-souled Bhishma's death in battle, when he rushed towards Drona? |
Mbh.7.10.389 | That foremost of all persons conversant with weapons, who has been reared almost on Drupada's lap, O, what warriors of my army surrounded that Sikhandin protected by Arjuna's weapons, for keeping him away from Drona? |
Mbh.7.14.610 | Those two foremost of warriors on earth, viz, Somadatta's son and Sikhandin, both conversant with every weapon, encountered each other in fierce battle that made all creatures tremble with fear. |
Mbh.7.14.611 | The valiant Bhurisravas, O king, covered that mighty car-warrior, Yajnasena's son Sikhandin, with a thick shower of arrows. |
Mbh.7.14.612 | Sikhandin, then O monarch, excited with wrath, pierced Somadatta's son with ninety shafts, and caused him, O Bharata, to tremble. |
Mbh.7.14.656 | Then Virata and Drupada, and Dhristaketu, and Yudhishthira, and Satyaki, and Kekaya, and Bhima, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Sikhandin, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and the five sons of Draupadi, all exclaimed, Excellent! |
Mbh.7.16.730 | And piercing Sikhandin with twelve arrows, and Uttamaujas with twenty, and Nakula with five, and Sahadeva with seven, and Yudhishthira with twelve, and each of the five sons of Draupadi with three, and Satyaki with five, and the ruler of Matsyas with ten arrows, and agitating the entire host in that battle, he rushed against one after another of the foremost warriors of the Pandavas. |
Mbh.7.21.1023 | Then Sikhandin pierced Drona with five straight arrows. |
Mbh.7.21.1032 | He then pierced Sikhandin with twelve arrows, and Uttamaujas with twenty. |
Mbh.7.23.1086 | Kshatradeva, the son of Sikhandin, himself urging well-decked steeds of the hue of lotus-leaves and with eyes of pure white, proceeded against Drona. |
Mbh.7.23.1095 | The Kaikeyas and Sikhandin, and Dhrishtaketu, surrounded by their respective troops, followed the ruler of Matsyas. |
Mbh.7.23.1100 | Excellent steeds, the gift of Tumvuru, of the hue of unbaked earthen pots, bore Sikhandin, the Panchala prince of immeasurable energy. |
Mbh.7.23.1102 | Of these, six thousand followed Sikhandin. |
Mbh.7.23.1203 | The youthful Vikarna of great wisdom resisted Sikhandin, the youthful son of Yajnasena, as the latter advanced in that battle. |
Mbh.7.33.1720 | and Arjuna's son Abhimanyu, and Kshatradharman, and the valiant Vrihatkshatra, and Dhrishtaketu, the ruler of the Chedis, and the twin sons of Madri, viz, Nakula and Sahadeva, and Ghatotkacha, and the powerful Yudhamanyu and the unvanquished Sikhandin, and the irresistible Uttamaujas and the mighty car-warrior Virata, and the five sons of Draupadi, these all excited with wrath, and the valiant son of Sisupala, and the Kaikeyas of mighty energy, and the Srinjayas by thousands, these and others, accomplished in weapons and difficult of being resisted in battle, suddenly rushed, at the head of their respective followers, against Bharadwaja's son, from a desire of battle. |
Mbh.7.38.1932 | Seeing that implacable and proud foe of theirs thus vanquished, those mighty car-warriors, viz, the five sons of Draupadi, who had on their banners the images of Yama and Maruta and Sakra and the twin Aswins, and Satyaki, and Chekitana, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Sikhandin, and the Kekayas, and Dhrishtaketu, and the Matsyas, Panchalas, and the Srinjayas, and the Pandavas headed by Yudhishthira, were filled with joy. |
Mbh.7.40.1979 | Sanjaya said, Yudhishthira and Bhimasena, and Sikhandin and Satyaki, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna and Virata, and Drupada, and Kekaya, and Dhristaketu, all filled with wrath, and the Matsya warrior, rushed to battle. |
Mbh.7.41.2016 | with sixty arrows, he pierced Drupada with five sharp ones, and Sikhandin with ten. |
Mbh.7.81.3577 | Commanded by the king, the man introduced that concourse of heroes, consisting of Virata and Bhimasena and Dhrishtadyumna and Satyaki, and Dhrishtaketu, the ruler of the Chedis, and the mighty car-warriors, Drupada, and Sikhandin, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and Chekitana, and the ruler of the Kalikayas, and Yuyutsu, of Kuru's race, and Uttamaujas of the Panchalas, and Yudhamanyu, and Suvahu, and the five sons of Draupadi. |
Mbh.7.83.3694 | There where Vrikodara and Arjuna are, and the Vrishni hero, Satyaki, and Uttamaujas of the Panchalas, and the invincible Yudhamanyu, and the irrepressible Dhrishtadyumna, and the unvanquished Sikhandin, the Asmakas, the Kekayas, and Kshatradharman of the Somakas, the ruler of the Chedis, and Chekitana, and Vibhu, the son of the ruler of the Kasi, the sons of Draupadi, and Virata and the mighty car-warrior Drupada, and those tigers among men viz, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and the stayer of Madhu to offer counsel, who is there in this world that would fight these, expecting to live? |
Mbh.7.92.4259 | King Valhika, exerting himself vigorously, resisted the mighty and unvanquished Sikhandin, the son of Yajnasena, that hero capable of resisting all foes. |
Mbh.7.108.5151 | The five Kekaya brothers, and the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, and Virata, and Drupada, and the mighty car-warrior Sikhandin and Dhrishtaketu of great strength, and Kuntibhoja, O sire, Nakula, and Sahadeva, and the Panchalas, and the Srinjayas, all these, O sire, will without doubt, very carefully protect me. |
Mbh.7.111.5421 | And Virata and Drupada and Drupada's son Dhrishtadyumna each Pierced him with five shafts, and Sikhandin, having once pierced him with five, again pierced him smilingly with five and twenty shafts. |
Mbh.7.111.5438 | Then that mighty car-warrior of the Satwata race, filled with rage, cut off, smiling in that battle, with a razor-faced shaft the bow of Sikhandin. |
Mbh.7.111.5439 | Sikhandin then, seeing his bow cut off, quickly took up a sword and a bright shield decked with a hundred moons. |
Mbh.7.111.5440 | Whirling his large shield, decked with gold, Sikhandin sent that sword towards the car of Kritavarman. |
Mbh.7.111.5445 | And he pierced Sikhandin at first with three, and then with five shafts. |
Mbh.7.111.5446 | Then the illustrious Sikhandin, taking up another bow, checked the son of Hridika with many swift-flying shafts, furnished with heads like tortoise nails. |
Mbh.7.111.5448 | Indeed, the heroic Kritavarman rushed at Sikhandin, displaying his might, like a tiger at an elephant. |
Mbh.7.111.5453 | Deeply pierced therewith, Sikhandin sat down in pain on the terrace of his car, throwing aside his bow and arrows, and was overtaken by a swoon. |
Mbh.7.111.5455 | Seeing Sikhandin thus afflicted with the shafts of Hridika's son his charioteer quickly bore that mighty car-warrior away from the battle. |
Mbh.7.111.5456 | The Parthas, beholding Sikhandin lying senseless on the terrace of his car, soon encompassed Kritavarman in that battle with crowds of cars. |
Mbh.7.121.5962 | And he pierced Virata and Drupada with six arrows, and Sikhandin with a hundred. |
Mbh.7.147.7710 | Having slain him, Sikhandin, his aspiration fulfilled, stayeth at the very van of all the troops, surrounded by all the Panchalas, covetous of another triumph |
Mbh.7.148.7747 | Protected by the diadem-decked Arjuna, Sikhandin slew Bhishma. |
Mbh.7.148.7772 | Until I succeed in slaying the Panchalas with Sikhandin, I feel like one sinking in the Dhristadyumna-mire. |
Mbh.7.150.7867 | As, again, an assemblage of lotuses becomes shorn of its beauty when the water over which it grows is dried up by the sun and the wind, even so became the Pandava host being dried up by thy son, O Bharata, the Panchalas, with Bhimasena then with ten shafts, and each of the sons of Madri with three, and Virata and Drupada each with six, and Sikhandin with a hundred, and Dhrishtadyumna with seventy, and Yudhishthira with seven, and the Kaikeyas and the Chedis with innumerable keen shafts, and Satwata with five, and each of the five sons of Draupadi with three, and Ghatotkacha also with a few, he uttered a leonine shout. |
Mbh.7.151.7898 | The Prabhadraka-Panchalas also six thousand strong, and all effectual smiters, proceeded against Drona placing Sikhandin at their head. |
Mbh.7.153.8033 | And he pierced Bhimasena with nine arrows and Nakula with five, and Sahadeva with eight, and Sikhandin with a hundred. |
Mbh.7.155.8338 | Dhrishtadyumna, and Sikhandin and Janamejaya, the son of Durmuksha and Chandrasen, and Madrasen, and Kritavarman, Dhruva, and Dhara and Vasuchandra, and Sutejana, the sons of Drupada, and Drupada himself, conversant with high and mighty weapons, and the king of the Matsyas also, with his younger brothers, all resolutely struggling for their sake, and Gajanika, and Virabhadra, and Sudarsana, and Srutadhwaja, and Valanika, and Jayanika, and Jayaprya, and Vijaya and Labhalaksha, and Jayaswa, and Kamaratha, and the handsome brothers of Virata, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and the five sons of Draupadi, and the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, are all fighting for the Pandavas. |
Mbh.7.162.8766 | Kripa, the son of Saradwat, O king, resisted Sikhandin in that battle, that foremost of car-warrior, as the latter advanced on his car. |
Mbh.7.167.8997 | Against mighty Sikhandin proceeding towards Drona, Kripa resolutely advanced with great impetuosity. |
Mbh.7.167.8998 | That chastiser of foes, viz, Sikhandin, then, smiling the while, pierced with nine arrows the son of Gotama thus advancing against him towards the vicinity of Drona. |
Mbh.7.167.8999 | Then the preceptor, Kripa, that benefactor of thy sons, piercing Sikhandin first with five arrows, once more pierced him with twenty. |
Mbh.7.167.9004 | Then Sikhandin, O king, cut off, with a crescent-shaped arrow, the large bow of Gotama's son and shot at the latter many whetted shafts. |
Mbh.7.167.9006 | Sikhandin, however, cut it off with ten shafts as it coursed towards him. |
Mbh.7.167.9008 | Then Gautama, foremost of men, taking up another bow, O king, covered Sikhandin with a large number of whetted shafts. |
Mbh.7.167.9009 | Thus covered in that battle by the illustrious son of Gotama, Sikhandin, that foremost of car-warriors sank on the terrace of his car. |
Mbh.7.167.9011 | Sikhandin then was borne away by his driver. |
Mbh.7.169.9162 | Then Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin blew their large conchs, as also the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, and Vrikodara, the son of Pandu. |
Mbh.7.175.9537 | Meanwhile, let Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin, and Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, these mighty car-warriors, uniting with the son of Draupadi, proceed against Karna. |
Mbh.7.176.9562 | Meanwhile, Karna, O king, in that battle agitated many kings and many mighty car-warriors amongst the Panchalas headed by Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin and others. |
Mbh.7.177.9601 | He pierced Dhrishtadyumna and Sikhandin, each with ten strong and straight shafts sped from his bow drawn to its fullest stretch. |
Mbh.7.181.9907 | Then, surrounded by a Panchala and Prabhadraka force of a thousand cars, three hundred elephants and five thousand horses, Sikhandin speedily followed in the wake of the king. |
Mbh.7.182.9937 | Let also Janamejaya and Sikhandin and Durmukha's son and Yasodhara, rush in wrath against the Pot-born on every side. |
Mbh.7.191.10605 | A fierce battle took place between him and many warriors headed by Sikhandin and the Prabhadrakas, the Panchalas, the Chedis, and the Kaikeyas. |
Mbh.7.193.10709 | Neither Vibhatsu, nor Janardana, nor Bhimasena, nor Nakula, nor Sahadeva, nor king Yudhishthira, nor Prishata's wicked-souled son Dhrishtadyumna, nor Sikhandin, nor Satyaki, O Kauravya, knoweth that weapon which I have, along with the mantras, for hurting and withdrawing it. |
Mbh.7.196.10903 | Truly speaking, the uterine brother, viz, Sikhandin, that foremost of all sinners, was the cause of Bhishma's death. |
Mbh.7.196.10905 | Thy father had created Sikhandin for the destruction of Bhishma. |
Mbh.7.196.10906 | As regards Arjuna, he had only, protected Sikhandin while Sikhandin became the cause of the illustrious Bhishma's death. |
Mbh.12.27.1208 | When I beheld that lion among men, viz, our grandsire, assailed by Sikhandin and trembling and reeling in consequence of Partha's shafts that resembled thunder-bolts in energy, when I beheld his tall form pierced all over with blazing arrows and himself become weak like an aged lion, my heart was deeply pained. |
Mbh.12.27.1211 | Knowing full well that Sikhandin the prince of Panchala was his destroyer, that hero still refrained from slaying the prince with his shafts. |
Mbh.12.43.2184 | Thou art Sikhandin, thou art Nahusha, and thou art Vabhru. |
Mbh.13.168.13856 | Alas, that hero has been slain by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.13.168.13860 | Alas, my heart does not break upon hearing the slaughter of that son of mine by Sikhandin' |
Mbh.13.168.13869 | He has not been slain, O goddess, by Sikhandin. |
Mbh.14.60.2752 | Sikhandin of great intelligence, protected by the blessed Arjuna, became the leader of the seven divisions of the sons of Pandu. |
Mbh.14.60.2755 | Then Sikhandin, in great battle, aided by the wielder of Gandiva, slew, with innumerable arrows, the son of Ganga fighting bravely. |
Mbh.14.81.3624 | He was engaged with Sikhandin. |
Mbh.15.31.1278 | Sikhandin was a Rakshasa. |
Mbh.15.32.1302 | There were prince Lakshmana the son of Duryodhana, and the son of Dhrishtadyumna, and all the children of Sikhandin, and Dhrishtaketu, with his younger brother. |
