Mbh.1.63.3186 | Sikhandini was so transformed into a male by Yaksha named Sthuna from the desire of doing her good. |
Mbh.5.194.8661 | Thereupon, the Yaksha named Sthuna, who was endued with kindness, showed himself unto her. |
Mbh.5.195.8692 | And the Yaksha Sthuna, O Bharata, became a female, while Sikhandini obtained the blazing form of the Yaksha. |
Mbh.5.195.8721 | Meanwhile, sometime after the exchange of sexes had taken place Kuvera, who was always borne on the shoulders of human beings, in course of a journey through the earth, came to the abode of Sthuna. |
Mbh.5.195.8722 | Staying in the welkin above that mansion, the protector of all the treasures saw that the excellent abode of the Yaksha Sthuna was well-adorned with beautiful garland of flowers, and perfumed with fragrant roots of grass and many sweet scents. |
Mbh.5.195.8726 | And beholding that beautiful abode of the Yaksha decked all over, and filled also with garlands of jewels and gems and perfumed with the fragrance of diverse kinds of flowers, and well-watered, and well-swept, the lord of the Yakshas addressed the Yakshas that followed him, saying, Ye that are endued with immeasurable prowess, this mansion of Sthuna is well-adorned! |
Mbh.5.195.8731 | Unto her, for some reason, Sthuna had given his own manhood, and having taken her womanhood upon him, he stayeth within his abode having become a woman! |
Mbh.5.195.8733 | It is for this reason, O king, that Sthuna cometh not to thee! |
Mbh.5.195.8736 | Let Sthuna be brought to me, were the words that the lord of the Yakshas uttered, and repeatedly said, I will punish him, |
Mbh.5.195.8737 | Summoned then by the Lord of Yakshas, Sthuna bearing a feminine form came thither, O king, and stood before him in shame. |
Mbh.5.195.8742 | Therefore, let this high-souled Yaksha Sthuna be freed from his anxiety! |
Mbh.5.195.8744 | And Sthuna, with that curse pronounced on him, continued to live there. |
Mbh.5.195.8747 | Sthuna then repeatedly said unto him, I am pleased with thee' |
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. |
