Mbh.1.123.6635 | Subjugating the Madras, the Kurus along with the Somakas, and the people of Chedi, Kasi and Karusha, he will maintain the prosperity of the Kurus. |
Mbh.1.133.7132 | Thus resolved, O Bhishma, I went, for former friendship, unto the king of the Somakas, taking with me my dear child and wife. |

Mbh.5.130.5764 | If this grantor of wishes, this bull of all the Satwatas, be confined, the Pandavas with the Somakas will become depressed and incapable of any exertion. |
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.5.161.7087 | And king Duryodhana, O Bharata, having first consulted with Karna, and next, O monarch, with Karna and his own brother Dussasana, and Suvala's son all together, then summoned, O bull among men, Uluka and bringing him into his presence in private, told him, O king, these words, O Uluka, O son of an adept at dice, repair thou unto the Pandavas and the Somakas. |
Mbh.5.161.7092 | Unto the eldest son of Kunti thou must say, as my words, the following, Virtuous as thou art, how canst then, with all thy brothers, with the Somakas, and the Kekayas, set thy heart upon unrighteousness? |
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.6.15.799 | If protected he will slay the Pandavas, the Somakas, and the Srinjayas. |
Mbh.6.43.1994 | And those heroes, viz, the Pandavas and the Somakas, and those who followed them, filled with joy, blew their sea-born conches. |
Mbh.6.52.2706 | Then the prince of the Panchalas, supported by the Somakas, advanced towards the great bowman Drona who was engaged in seeking the welfare of Ganga's son. |
Mbh.6.59.3163 | And the Kauravas also beholding the Somakas routed, are rushing to battle cheerfully, gladdening the grandsire. |
Mbh.6.72.3872 | But the Panchalas and the Somakas, though slain by Bhishma thus, forming yet a laudable resolution, rushed towards Bhishma. |
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.6.77.4090 | And hearing the blare of his conch, all the Somakas were struck with fear. |
Mbh.6.89.4657 | Though thus slaughtered by Bhishma, the Panchalas along with the Somakas still rushed impetuously at him, forsaking the fear of death. |
Mbh.6.90.4726 | And those mighty car-warriors, viz, Virata and Drupada, with all the Somakas, rushed in battle against Bhishma alone. |
Mbh.6.90.4732 | That foremost of car-warriors, viz, Drona excited with wrath, rushed against the Somakas and the Srinjayas, desirous of sending them to the abode of Yama. |
Mbh.6.98.5209 | After Ganga's son will have withdrawn from the fight and laid aside his weapons, I will slay the Partha along with all the Somakas, in the very sight of Bhishma. |
Mbh.6.98.5245 | I will slay, O king, all the Somakas and the Panchalas and the Karushas along with the Kekayas, O Bharata-these were thy words to me. |
Mbh.6.98.5247 | Slay the assembled Parthas, and those mighty bowmen, viz, the Somakas. |
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.6.99.5298 | Today Bhishma, excited with wrath, will slay all the Somakas' |
Mbh.6.104.5525 | SECTION CIV Sanjaya said, At mid-day, O king, happened a fierce battle, fraught with great carnage, between Bhishma and the Somakas. |
Mbh.6.108.5745 | Then king Yudhishthira, seeing that twilight had come and that his own troops, slaughtered by Bhishma, had thrown aside their weapons, and that stricken with fear, and turned off the field, they were seeking to flee away, and beholding Bhishma also, that mighty car-warrior, excited with wrath and afflicting everybody in fight, and noticing that the mighty car-warriors of the Somakas, having been vanquished, had all become cheerless, reflected a little, and then ordered the troops to be withdrawn. |
Mbh.6.109.5937 | O sinless one, tell me how that hero, that chastiser of foes, rushed against the Pandavas in battle, and slaughtered the Somakas |
Mbh.6.117.6412 | And the Kuru hero slew the Somakas that followed Partha in that battle. |
Mbh.6.117.6422 | There was not, O king, a single great car-warrior among the Somakas, who, having approached Bhishma in that battle, returned with life from that engagement. |
Mbh.6.119.6514 | Then the generalissimo of the Pandava army, viz, the mighty car-warrior Dhrishtadyumna, addressing his soldiers, said, Ye Somakas, accompanied by the Srinjayas, rush ye at Ganga's son' |
Mbh.6.119.6515 | Hearing those words of their commander the Somakas and the Srinjayas, though afflicted with showers of arrows, rushed at the son of Ganga. |
Mbh.6.120.6688 | And the Somakas and the Panchalas all rejoiced, O king. |
Mbh.7.7.207 | I will fight with the Pandavas, and slay the Somakas. |
Mbh.7.23.1112 | Endued with effulgence of a thousand moons, and because he also had won great renown in an assembly of the Somakas, he came to be called Sutasoma. |
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.7.92.4214 | SECTION XCIV Sanjaya said, After that bull among men, viz, Duryodhana, had set out from behind, following Partha and him of Vrishni's race, O king, both of whom had penetrated into the Kaurava army, the Pandavas accompanied by the Somakas, quickly rushed against Drona with loud shouts. |
Mbh.7.107.4999 | Indeed, when Drona was thus engaged in slaughtering the Somakas in battle, none ventured to advance against him and none succeeded in piercing him. |
Mbh.7.115.5621 | And both thy warriors and the Somakas, O king highly applauded the encounter as between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.7.122.5982 | SECTION CXXIV Sanjaya said, In the afternoon of that day, O king, a dreadful battle, characterised by roars, deep as those of the clouds, once more occurred between Drona and the Somakas. |
Mbh.7.123.6066 | SECTION CXXV Sanjaya said, When the army of the Pandavas was thus agitated on all sides, the Parthas and the Panchalas and the Somakas, retreated to a great distance. |
Mbh.7.124.6167 | And as that mighty-armed hero proceeded, the brave Panchalas and the Somakas followed him behind, like the celestials following Maghavat. |
Mbh.7.143.7436 | Then commenced, O king, after the sun had set, a fierce battle between Drona and the Somakas, that made the very hair stand on end. |
Mbh.7.148.7782 | O king, go and tell my son Aswatthaman who is present in battle that even at the risk of his life he should not let the Somakas alone |
Mbh.7.152.7954 | Sanjaya said, During the progress, O king, of that fierce night-battle, the Pandavas along with the Somakas all rushed against Drona. |
Mbh.7.156.8483 | Neither the gods nor the Danavas are capable of staying within the range of thy weapons, O son of Drona, slay the Panchalas and the Somakas with all their followers. |
Mbh.7.156.8485 | Yonder, O Brahmana, the Somakas and the Panchalas, possessed of great fame, are careering amid my troops like a forest-conflagration. |
Mbh.7.156.8496 | I tell thee truly, O hero, that the Pandavas united with the Somakas are no match for thee in battle! |
Mbh.7.157.8525 | I will fight with the Panchalas, the Somakas, the Kaikeyas, and the Pandayas also, in battle, for doing what is agreeable to thee, O chastiser of foes. |
Mbh.7.157.8526 | Scorched with my arrows today, the Chedis, the Panchalas, and the Somakas, will fly away on all sides like a herd of kine afflicted by a lion. |
Mbh.7.157.8527 | Today, the royal son of Dharma with all the Somakas, beholding my prowess, will regard the whole world to be filled with Aswatthamans. |
Mbh.7.157.8528 | Dharma's son, Yudhishthira, will become exceedingly cheerless, beholding the Panchalas and Somakas slain by me in battle. |
Mbh.7.157.8537 | The Panchalas and the Somakas then, thus worked in battle, abandoned the son of Drona and fled away in all directions. |
Mbh.7.157.8538 | Beholding those brave warriors, viz, the Panchalas and the Somakas, flying away, Dhrishtadyumna, O king, rushed against Drona's son in that battle. |
Mbh.7.158.8591 | The mighty car-warriors among the Srinjayas and the Panchalas, with the Matsyas and the Somakas, O king, followed the two brothers thus engaged in that encounter with Drona. |
Mbh.7.161.8739 | He can vanquish the very gods in battle, what need then be said of the Pandavas and the Somakas? |
Mbh.7.161.8743 | Protected by us, he is sure to slay the Somakas and the Srinjayas, one after another. |
Mbh.7.162.8757 | SECTION CLXIV Sanjaya said, During the progress of that terrible nocturnal engagement, O king, which was fraught with an indiscriminate carnage, Dharma's son Yudhishthira, addressed the Pandavas, the Panchalas, and the Somakas. |
Mbh.7.162.8759 | At the command of the king, O monarch, the Panchalas and the Somakas rushed against Drona alone, uttering terrible shouts. |
Mbh.7.166.8949 | Taking, then, another gold-decked bow that was new and strong, and drawing out of his quiver a strong, whetted, well-tempered, sharp and broad-headed arrow, and fixing it on his string, and carefully aiming it-at Drupada, he let it off with great force, inspiring all the Somakas with fear. |
Mbh.7.166.8957 | Thus afflicted in battle by Vrishasena, the Panchalas and the Somakas, O monarch, illumined by lamps, looked exceedingly beautiful |
Mbh.7.166.8960 | Having defeated in battle many heroes and all the mighty car-warriors among the Somakas, he quickly proceeded, O king, to the spot where king Yudhishthira was stationed. |
Mbh.7.167.9012 | Beholding that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Yajnasena retreating from battle, the Panchalas and the Somakas surrounded him on all sides for rescuing him. |
Mbh.7.170.9177 | Beholding Drona slaughtering the Pandava army in that battle, the Somakas quickly pierced him from every side with showers of arrows. |
Mbh.7.170.9192 | Then Janardana beholding Vrikodara advancing, once more addressed Arjuna, the son of Pandu, as if for gladdening him, in these words, Yonder Bhima, who taketh delight in battle, surrounded by the Somakas and the Pandavas, is coming against those mighty car-warriors, viz, Drona and Karna. |
Mbh.7.171.9216 | Beholding Prishata's son vanquished in battle, those mighty car-warriors, viz, the Panchalas and the Somakas, excited with rage, and taking up all kinds of weapons, proceeded, making death itself their goal, towards Karna, from desire of slaughtering him. |
Mbh.7.184.10070 | The Kuru army having been divided into two bodies, Drona, with Duryodhana before him, proceeded with one of those divisions against the Somakas, the Pandavas, and the Panchalas. |
Mbh.7.188.10366 | Once more filled with rage the valiant son of Bharadwaja slaughtering all the Somakas, seemed to be invested with great splendour. |
Mbh.7.191.10620 | When the battle commenced, the Kurus and the Somakas, mingled together, roared at one another and began to strike down one another with their weapons. |
Mbh.7.198.11132 | You may unite the forces of the Pandavas and those of the Vrishnis together, but I shall still slay the Somakas. |
Mbh.7.198.11207 | Only Vibhatsu, supported by the Somakas and the Matsyas, shot his arrows at the Kauravas and checked their onset |
Mbh.8.22.937 | Then the Pandus, the Pancalas, and the Somakas, filled with rage, rushed with speed for the rescue of Nakula shrouded by those warriors like the Sun by the clouds. |
Mbh.8.24.998 | Slaughtered with the shafts issuing from Karna's bow the Somakas, O monarch, greatly afflicted and feeling much pain, began to breathe their last. |
Mbh.8.74.4522 | Today, after I have slain Karna in battle, let the mighty car-warriors of the Somakas, who are desirous of accomplishing the task of their allies, regard their task as accomplished. |
Mbh.8.78.4725 | Sanjaya said, In that afternoon, O monarch, the Suta's son of great valour began to smite all the Somakas in the very sight of Bhimasena. |
Mbh.8.78.4775 | Indeed, like the Destroyer himself of great might standing after slaying all creatures, the mighty car-warrior Karna stood alone, having slain the Somakas. |
Mbh.8.82.5020 | During that interval, the Suta's son fought fiercely, grinding the Somakas. |
Mbh.8.89.5472 | The Somakas then loudly shouted to Partha, saying, Be quick, O Arjuna, go and pierce Karna. |
Mbh.8.89.5502 | Then the Pancalas and the Somakas, O king, thus afflicted by Karna with showers of shafts in that encounter, became filled with wrath and uniting together pierced the Suta's son with keen arrows from every side. |
Mbh.8.89.5568 | Having pierced Krishna and Partha's standard, Karna felled many amongst the Somakas that followed Partha. |
Mbh.8.90.5609 | All the Kauravas and the Somakas then beheld a wide-spread arrowy net. |
Mbh.8.90.5624 | Beholding that wide-spread expanse of arrows, all the Kauravas and the Somakas became filled with fear. |
Mbh.8.91.5802 | Having slain in battle their powerful foes, they, with the Somakas, will recover their kingdom. |
Mbh.8.91.5868 | The Somakas beholding Karna slain and lying on the field, were filled with joy and uttered loud shouts with the other troops of the Pandava army. |
Mbh.8.92.5887 | The Somakas and the Srinjayas also loudly blew their conchs. |
Mbh.9.7.405 | I will vanquish the assembled Parthas and the Somakas in battle. |
Mbh.9.7.417 | Thou art capable of vanquishing in battle the three worlds consisting of the gods, the Asuras, what need be said of the Somakas and the Srinjayas that are mortal |
Mbh.9.7.456 | After Keshava had gone, king Yudhishthira the just, dismissing all his brothers and the Somakas, happily slept that night, like an elephant from whose body the darts have been plucked out. |
Mbh.9.8.497 | Bhimasena and the great car-warriors among the Somakas rushed, O monarch, against Kripa, desirous of slaughtering their foes in battle. |
Mbh.9.11.662 | Then the Prabhadrakas, O king, and the Somakas, were seen felled or falling by thousands, in consequence of Shalya's arrows. |
Mbh.9.11.691 | Shalya also, excited with rage, O king, slaughtered many Somakas and Pandavas, and once more afflicted Yudhishthira with many keen shafts. |
Mbh.9.16.939 | Then the Pandava troops once more became filled with joy, especially the Pancalas, the Somakas and the Matsyas. |
Mbh.9.17.1000 | Then the Pandus, the Pancalas, and the Somakas, filled with rage, encompassed that hero who was thus slaughtering their troops like all-destroying Death. |
Mbh.9.18.1118 | Then Arjuna, and Bhima, and the two sons of Madri by Pandu, and that tiger among men, Satyaki, and the five sons of Draupadi, and Dhrishtadyumna, and Shikhandi, and the Pancalas and the Somakas, desirous of rescuing Yudhishthira, surrounded him on all sides. |
Mbh.9.20.1251 | The Pandavas, the Somakas, and the Srinjayas, beheld that elephant looking like a elephants careering around them, even as the foes of the gods had in days of yore beheld the elephant of Indra in battle. |
Mbh.9.21.1313 | Fearlessly that invincible warrior, filled with rage, assailed with keen arrows all the Pandus, and Dhrishtadyumna the son of Prishta, and Shikhandi, and the sons of Draupadi, and the large bands of the Pancalas, and the Kaikeyas, O sire, and the Somakas! |
Mbh.9.28.1978 | I swear by all my religious acts, by all the gifts I have made, by truth itself, and my silent meditations, O king, that I shall today slay the Somakas! |
Mbh.9.28.2012 | The rejoicing Somakas all around loudly and repeatedly exclaimed, The sinful son of Dhritarashtra has been found |
Mbh.9.54.3920 | Hearing these words of his, the Somakas and the other kings that were present there all applauded them highly. |
Mbh.9.55.3972 | Marking the violence of the wind produced by the whirl of Duryodhana's mace, a great fear entered the hearts of all the Pandus and the Somakas. |
Mbh.9.55.3992 | At that time, O king, the Somakas and the Pandavas became greatly disappointed and very cheerless. |
Mbh.9.57.4104 | The Somakas also beheld, with hair standing on end, the Kuru king felled upon the earth like an infuriated elephant felled by a lion. |
Mbh.9.57.4119 | Many of the foremost warriors among the Somakas, who were all of righteous souls, beholding the foot of the rejoicing Bhimasena of narrow heart placed upon the head of that foremost one of Kuru's race, did not at all approve of it. |
Mbh.10.8.455 | Or, have they, after grinding the camp, the Somakas, and the Pandavas, followed, while still engaged in battle, the highly glorious path in which Duryodhana has gone? |
Mbh.10.8.509 | Of terrible form, he careered in the camp like Yama himself, and at last saw the sons of Draupadi and the remnant of the Somakas. |
Mbh.10.8.645 | Even thus did that night prove terribly destructive to the Somakas who had been heedless and buried in sleep. |
Mbh.10.8.658 | All the Somakas also, as well as all that remained of the Matsyas, have been slaughtered by me! |
