Mbh.5.178.7985	After Hotravahana had ceased, Amva herself said, O holy one, it is even so as this lord of earth, this author of my mother's body, Hotravahana of the Srinjaya race hath said.
Mbh.5.179.7992	Hearing what Srinjaya has to say, and what thou also, O thou of sweet smiles, may have to say, let that be settled this very day what should be done for thee'
Mbh.5.179.8011	And bearing also a sword and a battle-axe, that sinless one, O tiger among kings, approached the Srinjaya king Hotravahana in that forest.
Mbh.7.10.394	What, O Srinjaya, can remain unconquered by them for whose sake these and many others are prepared to Jay down their lives in battle?
Mbh.7.53.2532	He had a son who was called Srinjaya.
Mbh.7.53.2534	One day, the two ascetics, for paying Srinjaya a visit, came to his palace.
Mbh.7.53.2535	Duly worshipped by Srinjaya, they became pleased with him, and continued to live with him happily.
Mbh.7.53.2536	Once on a time as Srinjaya was seated at his case with the two ascetics, his beautiful daughter of sweet smiles came to him.
Mbh.7.53.2537	Saluted with reverence by his daughter, Srinjaya delighted that girl standing by his side with proper benedictions of the kind she desired.

Mbh.7.53.2559	and then the celestial Rishi addressed Srinjaya saying, O royal sage, the Brahmanas have been pleased and they wish thee a son!
Mbh.7.53.2565	And king Srinjaya caused all desirable things of his to be made of gold.
Mbh.7.53.2579	Seeing that son of his, obtained through the Rishi's boon thus slain, that great ascetic, viz, king Srinjaya, afflicted with deep sorrow, began to lament in piteous accents.

Mbh.7.69.2942	Thus addressed, Srinjaya then replied with joined hands, O thou that hast wealth of asceticism, having listened to these excellent and praiseworthy histories of ancient royal sages, all of whom had performed great sacrifices with profuse presents unto the Brahmanas, my grief hath all been dispelled by wonder, like the darkness that is dispelled by the rays of the sun.
Mbh.7.69.2949	Srinjaya said, I am happy with even this, viz, that thou, O holy one, art gratified with me.
Mbh.7.69.2952	Vyasa said, Then the son of Srinjaya, of wonderful splendour, appeared, that child resembling the son of Kuvera himself, bestowed by the gratified Rishi on the bereaved father.

Mbh.7.181.9855	How, indeed, did the Pandus and Srinjaya withstand the smiting Drona, when the latter proceeding against them, penetrated into their host, excited with wrath at the slaughter of Bhurisravas and Jayadratha, reckless of his very life, and resembling a yawning tiger or the Destroyer himself with wide open mouth?
Mbh.8.58.3328	At these words of Vibhatsu, Hari Krishna quickly proceeded on that car to that spot where king Yudhishthira, along with the mighty Srinjaya car-warriors of great strength, were fighting with the foe, making death their goal.

Mbh.9.57.4115	Having attained to the other shores of those fierce hostilities, Vrikodara once more laughingly said these words slowly unto Yudhishthira and Keshava and Srinjaya and Dhananjaya and the two sons of Madri, They that had dragged Draupadi, while ill, into the assembly and had disrobed her there, behold those Dhartarashtras slain in battle by the Pandavas through the ascetic penances of Yajnasena's daughter!
Mbh.12.29.1367	In this connection is cited the old discourse of Narada before Srinjaya when the latter was deeply afflicted with grief on account of the death of his son.

Mbh.12.29.1376	We hear, O Srinjaya, that there was a king of the name of Marutta who was the son of Avikshit.

Mbh.12.29.1396	We hear also, O Srinjaya, that Vrihadratha the king of the Angas, fell a prey to death.

Mbh.12.29.1547	Upon what, O Srinjaya, dost thou reflect in silence?
Mbh.12.29.1550	Srinjaya said, I am attending, O Narada, to this discourse of thine, of excellent import and perfumed like a garland of flowers, this discourse upon the conduct of high-souled royal sages of meritorious deeds and great fame, that can certainly dispel grief.
Mbh.12.30.1557	SECTION XXX Yudhishthira said, How did the son of Srinjaya become Suvarnashthivin
Mbh.12.30.1558	Why also did Parvata give Srinjaya that child?
Mbh.12.30.1570	Agreeing to that understanding, those two great Rishis, adored of all the worlds, repaired to king Srinjaya, the son of Sitya and said unto him, We two, for thy good, shall dwell with thee for a few days.
Mbh.12.31.1625	Myself, and my sister's son, the great ascetic Parvata, came on one occasion unto Srinjaya that foremost of all victorious kings, for dwelling with him.
Mbh.12.31.1632	After this, Parvata having called king Srinjaya, that foremost of victorious persons, said unto him these words O bull of Kuru's race, We have been exceedingly gratified, O king, with thy hospitable attentions given to us with every sincerity.
Mbh.12.31.1636	Hearing these words, Srinjaya replied, If ye have been gratified with me, my object then has been gained, for that of itself has been my greatest gain and that is regarded by me as the fruition of all my desire'
Mbh.12.31.1637	Unto Srinjaya who said so, Parvata again said, Solicit, O king, the fruition of that wish which thou art cherishing in thy heart, for a long time'
Mbh.12.31.1638	Srinjaya answered, I desire a son that shall be heroic and possessed of great energy, firm in his vows and of long life, highly blessed and possessed of splendour equal to that of the Chief himself of the deities'
Mbh.12.31.1643	Hearing these words of the high-souled Parvata, Srinjaya began to beseech that saint for ordaining otherwise, saying, Let my son be long-lived, O Muni, through thy ascetic merit'
Mbh.12.31.1648	Having said so unto that monarch, both of us left his presence for coming to where we wished, and Srinjaya returned to his abode as he pleased.
Mbh.12.31.1649	After some time had elapsed, the royal sage Srinjaya had born unto him a son of great prowess and blazing forth with energy.
Mbh.12.31.1655	When grown up, this child of Srinjaya may, by his achievements, humiliate me, O Thunder, as Parvata said'
Mbh.12.31.1657	Srinjaya, meanwhile, having obtained that child whose splendour resembled that of Indra himself, became filled with joy.
Mbh.12.31.1668	The royal ladies then, afflicted with grief and crying, quickly ran to the spot where king Srinjaya was.
