MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.3.147.7520 And having obtained the kingdom, Sugriva sent forth monkeys by hundreds and by thousands in search of Sita.
Mbh.3.147.7521 And, O best of men, I too with innumerable monkeys set out towards the south in quest of Sita, O mighty-armed one.
Mbh.3.147.7522 Then a mighty vulture Sampati by name, communicated the tidings that Sita was in the abode of Ravana.
Mbh.3.147.7524 And, O chief of the Bharatas, having by my own prowess crossed the ocean, that abode of sharks and crocodiles, I saw in Ravana's residence, the daughter of king Janaka, Sita, like unto the daughter of a celestial.
Mbh.3.147.7534 O represser of foes, O Bhima, through the grace of Sita also, here all excellent objects of entertainment are supplied to me, whoever abide at this place.
Mbh.3.149.7637 By slaying that lord of the Rakshasas together with his followers, and bringing back Sita unto his own city, that hero hath established his fame among men.
Mbh.3.150.7689 And, O Bhima, having felt a human being by coming in contact with thee, I have been put in mind of that son of Raghu, who was Vishnu himself under the name of Rama, and who delighted the heart of the world; and who was as the sun in regard to the lotus face of Sita, and also to that darkness, Ravana.
Mbh.3.187.9402 And, O best of men, while wandering through the stomach of that illustrious one, I behold the Ganga, the Satudru, the Sita, the Yamuna, and the Kausiki; the Charmanwati, the Vetravati; the Chandrabhaga, the Saraswati, the Sindhu, the Vipasa, and the Godavari; the Vaswokasara, the Nalini and the Narmada; the Tamra, and the Venna also of delightful current and sacred waters; the Suvenna, the Krishna-venna, the Irama, and the Mahanadi; the Vitasti, O great king, and that large river, the Cavery; the one also, O tiger among men, the Visalya, and the Kimpuna also.
Mbh.3.229.11540 She who is known as Putana Rakshasi by the learned is the graha called Putana; that fierce and terrible looking Rakshasa of a hideous appearance is also called the pisacha, Sita Putana.
Mbh.3.272.13235 SECTION CCLXXII Markandeya said, O bull of the Bharata race, even Rama suffered unparalleled misery, for the evil-minded Ravana, king of the Rakshasas, having recourse to deceit and overpowering the vulture Jatayu, forcibly carried away his wife Sita from his asylum in the woods.
Mbh.3.272.13246 And Janaka was the king of Videha, and Sita was his daughter.
Mbh.3.275.13381 And, blessed be thou, he was followed by the auspicious Lakshmana, that foremost of bowmen and his wife Sita, the princess of Videha and daughter of Janaka.
Mbh.3.276.13427 Then the Ten-headed Ravana said unto him, Go and tempt Sita, assuming the shape of a deer with golden horns and a golden skin!
Mbh.3.276.13428 When Sita will observe thee thus, she will surely send away Rama to hunt thee.
Mbh.3.276.13429 And then Sita will surely come within my power, and I shall forcibly carry her away.
Mbh.3.276.13442 And struck with Rama's arrow, the Rakshasa, imitating Rama's voice, cried out in great distress, calling upon Sita and Lakshmana.
Mbh.3.276.13447 Thus addressed, the chaste Sita, from that timidity which is natural to women, became suspicious of even the pure Lakshmana, and began to weep aloud.
Mbh.3.276.13455 Disregarding these and assuming his own proper shape, that bull among Rakshasas began to re-assure the princess of Videha in these words, I am, O Sita, the king of the Rakshasas, known by the name of Ravana!
Mbh.3.277.13469 And beholding his daughter-in-law Sita on the lap of Ravana, that ranger of the skies rushed in wrath against the king of the Rakshasas.
Mbh.3.277.13477 And having slain that king of the vultures, huge as a mountain-peak shooting forth above the clouds, the Rakshasa rose high in the air with Sita on his lap.
Mbh.3.277.13483 And the king of the Rakshasa then entered his own city known by the name of Lanka, accompanied by Sita'
Mbh.3.277.13484 And while Sita was being carried away, the intelligent Rama, having slain the great deer, retraced his steps and saw his brother Lakshmana on the way.
Mbh.3.277.13486 And reflecting on his own enticement to a great distance by that Rakshasa in the guise of a deer and on the arrival of his brother leaving Sita alone in the asylum, Rama was filled with agony.
Mbh.3.277.13489 Then Lakshmana told him everything about what Sita had said, especially that unbecoming language of hers subsequently.
Mbh.3.277.13495 And then they saw that creature to be a bird destitute of two wings, and that bird then told them of his own overthrow at the hands of Ravana for the sake of Sita.
Mbh.3.277.13509 The loss of thy kingdom, and then the death of our father, and then the abduction of Sita, and finally this disaster that hath overwhelmed me!
Mbh.3.277.13527 As to thyself, O Rama, Sita hath been carried away with violence by king Ravana who dwelleth in Lanka.
Mbh.3.278.13537 SECTION CCLXXVIII Markandeya said, Afflicted with grief at the abduction of Sita, Rama had not to go much further before he came upon Pampa, that lake which abounded with lotuses of various kinds.
Mbh.3.278.13551 And when Rama informed Sugriva of the object he had in view, Sugriva showed him the piece of cloth that Sita had dropped among the monkeys, while being carried away by Ravana.
Mbh.3.278.13589 Meanwhile Ravana excited by lust, having reached his city of Lanka, placed Sita in an abode, resembling Nandana itself, within a forest of Asokas, that looked like an asylum of ascetics.
Mbh.3.278.13590 And the large-eyed Sita passed her days there in distress, living on fruits and roots, practising ascetic austerities with fasts, attired in ascetic garb, and waning thin day by day, thinking of her absent lord.
Mbh.3.278.13597 And these, and others of blazing eyes and hair stiff as the camel's, stood beside Sita surrounding her day and night most watchfully.
Mbh.3.278.13600 And filled with grief at the separation from her lord, Sita drew a deep sigh and answered those Rakshasa women, saying, Reverend ladies, eat me up without delay!
Mbh.3.278.13607 And she said, Listen, O Sita!
Mbh.3.278.13613 Reassuring and cheering her, tell Sita in my name, saying: Thy husband the mighty Rama is well and is waited upon by Lakshmana.
Mbh.3.278.13633 And, O princess of Videha, soon wilt thou find happiness, being united, O Sita, with thy lord, that descendant of Raghu accompanied by his brother'
Mbh.3.279.13636 SECTION CCLXXIX Markandeya said, And while the chaste Sita was dwelling there afflicted with melancholy and grief on account of her lord, attired in mean garb, with but a single jewel on the marital thread on her wrist, and incessantly weeping, seated on a stone, and waited upon by Rakshasa women, Ravana, afflicted by the shafts of the god of desire, came to her and approached her presence.
Mbh.3.279.13641 And smitten with the shafts of the god of the flowery emblem he accosted that fair-hipped lady then affrighted like a helpless doe, and told her these words, Thou hast, O Sita, shown thy regard for thy lord too much!
Mbh.3.279.13666 Having said these words, Sita began to weep, her bosom shivering in agitation, and covering her neck and face with her garments.
Mbh.3.279.13668 And hearing these cruel words uttered by Sita, the foolish Ravana, although thus rejected, addressed Sita once more, saying, O lady, let the god having the Makara for his emblem burn me sorely.
Mbh.3.279.13672 And Sita, surrounded by those Rakshasa women, and treated with tenderness by Trijata, continued to dwell there in grief
Mbh.3.280.13674 And one night, while gazing from the mountain-top on the bright moon in the cloudless sky surrounded by planets and stars and stellar bodies, that slayer of foes was suddenly awakened to a remembrance of Sita by the cold breezes fragrant with the perfumes of the lily, lotus and other flowers of the same species.
Mbh.3.280.13703 And, O Bharata, observing the gait of Hanuman and the colour of his face, Rama was confirmed in the belief that Hanuman had really seen Sita.
Mbh.3.280.13734 And, O king, the powerful Sampati heating this unpleasant news from us, was greatly afflicted and again enquired of us, saying, Who is this Rama and why was Sita carried off and how was Jatayu slain?
Mbh.3.280.13740 Sita must be there.
Mbh.3.280.13744 And having slain the Rakshasis on the waters, I saw the chaste Sita within Ravana's harem, observing ascetic austerities, eager to behold her lord, with matted locks on head, and body besmeared with filth, and lean, and melancholy and helpless.
Mbh.3.280.13745 Recognising her as Sita by those unusual signs, and approaching that worshipful lady while alone, I said, I am, O Sita, an emissary of Rama and monkey begotten by Pavana
Mbh.3.280.13752 Thus addressed by me, Sita seemed to meditate for a moment and then replied to me, saying, From the words of Avindhya I know that thou art Hanuman!
Mbh.3.280.13757 And, indeed, it was by means of this jewel that the faultless Sita had been able to support her existence.
Mbh.3.282.13844 By the violent abduction of Sita, thou alone hast injured me!
Mbh.3.282.13852 Release Sita, the daughter of Janaka!
Mbh.3.284.13917 I have stealthily brought away his wife Sita, the daughter of Janaka.
Mbh.3.289.14084 Then that old and wise counsellor of Ravana known by the name of Avindhya, with Sita walking before him but behind Vibhishana who was at the front, came out of the city.
Mbh.3.289.14086 Hearing these words, the descendant of Ikshwaku's race alighted from his excellent chariot and beheld Sita bathed in tears.
Mbh.3.289.14106 After Sita had spoken, a sacred voice, resounding through the whole of that region, was heard in the skies, gladdening the hearts of the high-souled monkeys.
Mbh.3.289.14107 And the Wind-god was heard to say, O son of Raghu, what Sita hath said is true!
Mbh.3.289.14120 The wretch, however, abducted Sita for his own destruction.
Mbh.3.289.14121 And as regards Sita, I protected her through Nalakuvera's curse.
Mbh.3.289.14138 And he also asked for the restoration to life of all those monkeys that had been slain by the Rakshasas, and after Brahma had said, So be it, those monkeys, O king, restored to life, rose up from the field of battle, and Sita too, of great good fortune, granted unto Hanuman a boon, saying, Let thy life, O son, last as long as the fame of Rama's achievements!
Mbh.3.289.14144 And Rama also, with Sumatra's son and Vibhishana, and accompanied by all the monkeys with Sugriva at their head, placing Sita in the van and having made arrangements for the protection of Lanka, recrossed the ocean by the same bridge.
Mbh.3.289.14158 And Bharata and Shatrughna also, united with their eldest brother, and beholding Sita, both derived great pleasure.
Mbh.4.21.868 Thou mayst have heard that Janaka's daughter Sita, the princess of Videha, followed her lord while living in dense woods.
Mbh.5.117.5285 And the royal sage then sported with her, as Surya with Prabhavati, Agni with Swaha, Vasava with Sachi, Chandra with Rohini, Yama with Urmila, Varuna with Gauri, Kuvera with Riddhi, Narayana with Lakshmi, Sagara with Jahnavi, Rudra with Rudrani, the Grandsire with Saraswati, Vasishtha's son Saktri with Adrisyanti, Vasishtha with Arundhati called also Akshamala, Chyavana with Sukanya, Pulastya with Sandhya, Agastya with the princess of Vidarbha Lopamudra, Satyavan with Savitri, Bhrigu with Puloma, Kasyapa with Aditi, Richika's son Jamadagni with Renuka, Kusika's son Viswamitra with Himavati, Vrihaspati with Tara, Sukra with Sataprava, Bhumipati with Bhumi, Pururavas with Urvasi, Richika with Satyavati, Manu with Saraswati, Dushyanta with Sakuntala, the eternal Dharma with Dhriti, Nala with Damayanti, Narada, with Satyavati, Jaratkaru with Jaratkaru, Pulastya with Pratichya, Urnayus with Menaka, Tumvuru with Rambha, Vasuki with Satasirsha, Dhananjaya with Kamari, Rama with the princess of Videha Sita, or Janardana with Rukmini.
Mbh.6.6.380 And there the celestial stream Ganga having three currents issuing out of the region of Brahman, first showed herself, and then dividing herself into seven streams, became Vaswokasara, Nalini, the sin-cleansing Saraswati, Jamvunadi, Sita, Ganga and Sindhu as the seventh.
