Mbh.3.164.8287	Then, sitting in the midst of those foremost of the Kurus, and those best of the Brahmanas, effulgent like unto fire or the sun, he began to relate all as it had happened, saying, In this way, I have learnt weapons from Sakra, Vayu, and the manifest Siva; and all the celestials with Indra also have been pleased with me, on account of my good behaviour, and concentration'
Mbh.3.166.8370	Thereat with my mind intent on the acquisition of arms, I only bowed down unto Siva and said, O divine one, if thou beest favourably disposed towards me, then I wish to have this boon, I wish to learn all the weapons that are with thy god-head'
Mbh.3.182.9014	And Krishna, when united with Arjuna, the son of Pritha, the winner of riches and the terror of the demons assumed a beauty comparable to that of Siva, the magnanimous lord of all created beings, when he, the mighty lord, is united with Kartikeya his son.

Mbh.3.219.11130	He also created Siva from his navel, Indra from his might and wind and fire from his soul, and from his two arms sprang the hymns Udatta and Anudatta.
Mbh.3.220.11152	And that other fire, by name Siva, is devoted to the worship of Sakti the forces of the presiding deity of the forces of Nature, and because he always relieves the sufferings of all creatures afflicted with misery, he is called Siva the giver of good.
Mbh.3.224.11315	SECTION CCXXIV Markandeya continued, O lord of men, the beautiful Siva endowed with great virtues and an unspotted character was the wife of Angiras one of the seven Rishis.
Mbh.3.224.11316	That excellent lady Swaha at first assuming the disguise of Siva, sought the presence of Agni unto whom she said, O Agni, I am tortured with love for thee.
Mbh.3.224.11319	I am Siva the wife of Angiras.
Mbh.3.224.11327	Markandeya continued, Then Agni, filled with great joy and delight, married Swaha in the guise of Siva, and that lady joyfully cohabiting with him, held the semen virile in her hands.
Mbh.3.227.11429	And that liberal-minded being repeated again and again, Ye shall be divided into Siva and Asiva
Mbh.3.230.11613	followed by hundreds of terrible diseases; and behind him was carried the terrible, sharp-pointed, well-decorated trident of Siva, called Vijaya.
Mbh.3.230.11626	He who is also called Siva, the omnipotent god, armed with the Pinaka bow, is Maheswara.
Mbh.3.230.11695	Having spoken thus to Mahasena, the husband of Sachi left the place accompanied by the gods and with the permission of the adorable three-eyed god Siva.
Mbh.4.13.481	And there came athletes from all quarters by thousands, like hosts of celestials to the abode of Brahma or of Siva to witness that festival.
Mbh.4.45.1760	Trained in arms by the preceptor Drona, by Sakra, and Vaisravana, and Yama, and Varuna, and Agni, and Kripa, and Krishna of Madhu's race, and by the wielder of the Pinaka Siva, why shall I not fight with these?
Mbh.5.111.5077	It was in this region that Kama, the wrath of Siva, Himavat, and Uma, all together shone brilliantly.
Mbh.5.124.5537	Then also the marvellous account that is heard of what happened at Virata's city, touching that encounter between one and many, is sufficient proof of this, Hopest thou to vanquish in battle Arjuna who when excited with rage is invincible, irresistible, ever-victorious, and undeteriorating Arjuna, that hero, who gratified the God of gods, Siva himself in fight?
Mbh.5.191.8555	Undergoing ascetic austerities, I paid my adorations to Siva, and I was told by Sambhu that my child becoming a daughter first would subsequently become a male person.
Mbh.5.191.8556	And though I solicited him repeatedly, yet Siva said, This is Destiny's decree.
Mbh.5.194.8636	Indeed, I did not prevent it, remembering the words of Siva, Born a daughter, she will become a son'

Mbh.6.11.589	There in that island are, many delightful provinces where Siva is worshipped, and thither repair the Siddhas, the Charanas, and the celestials.
Mbh.7.50.2372	Indeed, the mighty Brahma, frightening everything by the force of his wrath, did all this, Then Hara, otherwise called Sthanu or Siva, with matted locks on his head, that Lord of all wanderers of the night, appealed to the divine Brahma, the Lord of the gods.
Mbh.7.78.3492	To thee that art called Brahmachakra, to thee that art called Sarva, Sankara, and Siva!
Mbh.7.79.3503	Hearing these words of Partha desiring the boon he sought, god Siva smilingly said unto Vasudeva and Arjuna, Welcome to you, ye foremost of men!
Mbh.7.79.3510	Hearing these words of Siva, Vasudava with Arjuna answered, So be it'
Mbh.7.79.3511	And then accompanied by all the attendants of Siva, those two heroes set out for that celestial lake which possessed hundreds of heavenly wonders, that sacred lake, capable of granting every object, which the god, having the bull for his mark, had indicated to them, And unto that lake, the Rishis Nara and Narayana viz, Arjuna and Vasudeva went fearlessly.
Mbh.7.91.4200	Drona continued, Having said these words, the boon-giving Siva gave that armour with the mantras to be uttered by the wearer.
Mbh.7.198.11093	In thee are all celestial as well as in the Three eyed Siva of immeasurable energy.
Mbh.7.198.11327	Kesava always worship the Lord Siva, regarding his Phallic emblem to be the origin of the universe.
Mbh.7.198.11332	The Lord Kesava always worshippeth Siva in the Phallic emblem as the origin of all creatures.
Mbh.7.199.11368	Even that Siva, O son, endued with such energy, proceedeth through kindness, in advance of thee.
Mbh.7.199.11431	And making the Mandara mountains the bow, Vasuki the bowstring, Vishnu his excellent shaft, Agni the arrow-head, and Vayu the two wings of that shafts, Yama the feathers in its tail, lightning the whetting stone, and Meru the standard, Siva, riding on that excellent car which was composed of all the celestial forces, proceeded for the destruction of the triple city.
Mbh.7.199.11463	He is Rudra he is Siva, he is Agni, he is everything, and he hath knowledge of everything.
Mbh.7.199.11513	And since he always increaseth all kinds of wealth and wisheth the good of mankind in all their acts, he is for that reason called Siva.
Mbh.8.34.1830	Duryodhana continued, Having obtained all the celestial weapons and the boons that had been desired by him, Rama bowed unto Siva with his head.
Mbh.8.86.5228	Thou, however, hadst, by battle, gratified that god of gods himself, that Siva who is the source of bliss unto all creatures, that deity called Sthanu.
Mbh.9.42.3066	Seeing the child coming, the thought entered the mind of Siva, as it did that of Himavat's daughter and that of Ganga and of Agni, as to whom amongst the four the child would first approach for honouring him or her.
Mbh.12.51.2752	Bhishma said, O master of all the worlds, O mighty-armed one, O Siva, O Narayana, O thou of unfading glory, hearing the words spoken by thee I have been filled with joy.
Mbh.12.58.3185	After this, the lord of Uma, the divine and multiform Siva of large eyes, the Source of all blessings, first studied and mastered it.
Mbh.12.58.3186	In view, however, of the gradual decrease of the period of life of human beings, the divine Siva abridged that science of grave import compiled by Brahman.
Mbh.12.280.17258	There, Brahman, and Vishnu, and Siva, that lord of the universe, the illustrious and divine Soma, and all the highest Rishis stand, beholding thee!
Mbh.12.280.17261	There, that Master of all the worlds, viz, the Three-eyed Siva, the adored of all the worlds, is eyeing thee!
Mbh.12.284.17844	Indeed, as Siva is the foremost of all the deities, even so is this hymn, agreeable with the Srutis, is the foremost of all hymns.
Mbh.12.289.18156	Kuvera, represented the matter unto Siva of immeasurable energy, that first of gods, fierce and amiable, and possessed of various forms.
Mbh.12.294.18372	At that time the deities repaired to that foremost of gods, viz, Siva, possessed of patience, of multiform aspect, and endued with the foremost of attributes, and sought his protection.
Mbh.12.333.21315	As Vyasa was seated there, the auspicious god Siva, armed with Pinaka, surrounded on all sides by many deities and Gandharvas and adored by all the great Rishis came thither.
Mbh.12.338.21723	Thou art he who is the topic of the five foremost of scriptures viz, those that appertain to the worship of Surya, of Sakti, of Ganesa, of Siva, and of Vishnu.
Mbh.12.349.23431	The cult known by the name of Pasupata was promulgated by the Lord of Uma, that master of all creatures, viz, the cheerful Siva, otherwise known by the name of Sreekantha, the son of Brahma.
Mbh.12.350.23461	In days of yore, the Three-eyed Siva endued with puissance and high Yoga, while proceeding along the sky, beheld Brahma seated on that mountain and, therefore, dropped down quickly on its top.
Mbh.13.14.870	For a full thousand years this Madhava underwent the austerest penances and at last succeeded in gratifying the illustrious and boon giving Siva, that Master of all the mobile and the immobile universe.
Mbh.13.14.876	This mighty-armed one of Yadu's race is alone competent to tell the attributes of the illustrious Siva.
Mbh.13.14.882	It behoveth thee to discourse on those subjects connected with Siva of universal form about which Yudhishthira has asked me.
Mbh.13.14.904	Let Brahma and Siva and Kasyapa, the Rivers, those deities that preside over the mind, the soil, all deciduous herbs, those Chhandas Rhymes that are regarded as bearers of the libations poured in sacrifices, the Rishis, Earth, the Oceans, the sacrificial presents, those syllables that are uttered for completing the cadences of Samans, the Rikshas, the Pitris, the Planets, the spouses of the deities, the celestial maidens, the celestial mothers, the great cycles, kine, Chandramas, Savitri, Agni, Savitri, the knowledge of the Vedas, the seasons, the year, small and big divisions of time, eg,
Mbh.13.14.943	Verily, that asylum was honoured and adored by the deities and all high-souled beings, by Siva and others, O Bharata, and by all creatures of righteous acts.
Mbh.13.14.966	In consequence of its blazing energy it was incapable of being gazed at by any person save Siva the wielder of Pinaka.
Mbh.13.14.967	It was for this reason that Bhava Siva bestowed upon it the name of Sudarsana.
Mbh.13.14.1046	Dwelling on the banks of rivers or in caves or on mountain-breasts, or in tirthas and other places of the kind, we pass our time in the practice of penances and the recitation of sacred Mantras, Siva being our highest refuge.
Mbh.13.14.1184	Upamanyu said, I solicit boons from that great Deity named Siva whom utterers of Brahma has described as existent and non-existent, manifest and unmanifest, eternal or immutable, one and many.
Mbh.13.14.1193	Tell me, O Sakra, who else than Siva could create Mind, Understanding, Consciousness or Ego, the Tanmatras, and the senses?
Mbh.13.14.1194	Who is there higher than Siva
Mbh.13.14.1265	All creatures of the feminine sex, have sprung from Ulna's nature as their cause, and hence it is they bear the mark of femininity that distinguishes Uma; while all creatures that are masculine, having sprung from Siva, bear the masculine mark that distinguishes Siva.
Mbh.13.14.1324	Endued with great might and great energy and resembling Sakra himself in prowess, the king, O Govinda, was slain by the Rakshasa Lavana with the aid of this Sula which he had got from Siva.
Mbh.13.14.1422	I have been very highly pleased with thee in consequence of this thy devotion to Siva.
Mbh.13.14.1441	Thus addressed by me, the illustrious Maheswara endued with supreme energy, that Master of all mobile and immobile, viz, Siva, worshipped of all the universe, then said unto me these words'
Mbh.13.14.1465	Will the puissant Siva, will the great Sankara, O chief of ascetics, grant me also a sight of his person and show me favour'

Mbh.13.85.7765	Even He is Brahman and Siva and Rudra and Varuna and Agni and Prajapati.
Mbh.13.161.13420	The Rishis describe Mahadeva as Agni, and Sthanu, and Maheswara; as one-eyed, and three-eyed, of universal form, and Siva or highly auspicious.
Mbh.13.161.13433	Since by all his acts he performs sacrifices for all and seeks the good of every creature, therefore he is called Siva or the auspicious one.
