Mbh.1.2.382 | Then comes the third parva called Aranyaka relating to the forest This parva treats of the wending of the Pandavas to the forest and the citizens, following the wise Yudhishthira, Yudhishthira's adoration of the god of day; according to the injunctions of Dhaumya, to be gifted with the power of maintaining the dependent Brahmanas with food and drink: the creation of food through the grace of the Sun: the expulsion by Dhritarashtra of Vidura who always spoke for his master's good; Vidura's coming to the Pandavas and his return to Dhritarashtra at the solicitation of the latter; the wicked Duryodhana's plottings to destroy the forest-ranging Pandavas, being incited thereto by Karna; the appearance of Vyasa and his dissuasion of Duryodhana bent on going to the forest; the history of Surabhi; the arrival of Maitreya; his laying down to Dhritarashtra the course of action; and his curse on Duryodhana; Bhima's slaying of Kirmira in battle; the coming of the Panchalas and the princes of the Vrishni race to Yudhishthira on hearing of his defeat at the unfair gambling by Sakuni; Dhananjaya's allaying the wrath of Krishna; Draupadi's lamentations before Madhava; Krishna's cheering her; the fall of Sauva also has been here described by the Rishi; also Krishna's bringing Subhadra with her son to Dwaraka; and Dhrishtadyumna's bringing the son of Draupadi to Panchala; the entrance of the sons of Pandu into the romantic Dwaita wood; conversation of Bhima, Yudhishthira, and Draupadi; the coming of Vyasa to the Pandavas and his endowing Yudhishthira with the power of Pratismriti; then, after the departure of Vyasa, the removal of the Pandavas to the forest of Kamyaka; the wanderings of Arjuna of immeasurable prowess in search of weapons; his battle with Mahadeva in the guise of a hunter; his meeting with the lokapalas and receipt of weapons from them; his journey to the regions of Indra for arms and the consequent anxiety of Dhritarashtra; the wailings and lamentations of Yudhishthira on the occasion of his meeting with the worshipful great sage Brihadaswa. |
Mbh.1.3.727 | Then have ye placed the Sun and the Sky above! |
Mbh.1.3.728 | The Rishis, according to the course of the same Sun, perform their sacrifices, and the gods and men, according to what hath been appointed for them, perform their sacrifices also enjoying the fruits of those acts! |
Mbh.1.3.876 | Handsome and of various forms and decked with many coloured ear-rings, ye children of Airavata, ye shine like the Sun in the firmament! |
Mbh.1.3.879 | Who except Airavata would desire to move in the burning rays of the Sun? |
Mbh.1.17.1330 | The rays of the Sun falling on its peaks of golden lustre are dispersed by them. |
Mbh.1.19.1415 | And when the Sun rose in his splendour, thousands of warriors struck one another with weapons. |
Mbh.1.23.1508 | Thou art knowledge, thou art the illusion to which we are all subject; thou art the all-pervading spirit; thou art the lord of the gods; thou art the great Truth; thou art fearless; thou art ever unchanged; thou art Brahma without attributes; thou art the energy of the Sun; thou art the intellectual functions; thou art our great protector; thou art the ocean of holiness; thou art purity; thou art bereft of the attributes of darkness; thou art the possessor of the six high attributes; thou art he who cannot be withstood in contest. |
Mbh.1.25.1563 | And that ranger of the skies born of Vinata began to ascend towards the Sun. |
Mbh.1.25.1564 | And thereupon the snakes, scorched by the rays of the Sun, swooned away. |
Mbh.1.25.1569 | By thy showers, be thou the protector of the snakes scorched by the Sun. |
Mbh.1.25.1588 | Thou art also the firmament, resplendent with the Sun. |
Mbh.1.26.1601 | The sky became overcast, and the rays of the Sun and the Moon totally disappeared in consequence of that incessant downpour. |
Mbh.1.28.1641 | A Brahmana, when angry, becomes like fire or the Sun, like poison or an edged weapon. |
Mbh.1.30.1796 | And in consequence of the gods standing there, that would be battle-field, owing to hundreds of thousands of maces furnished with iron spikes, shone like another firmament illumined by the rays of the Sun |
Mbh.1.31.1846 | And Aruna, of undeveloped body, became the fore-runner of the Sun. |
Mbh.1.32.1877 | And moved by violent winds, they seemed bent on burning the Sun himself. |
Mbh.1.33.1881 | SECTION XXXIII Astika Parva continued Santi said, And that bird, assuming a golden body bright as the rays of the Sun, entered with great force the region where the Soma was, like a torrent entering the ocean. |
Mbh.1.33.1895 | And he then wended on his way without the least fatigue, darkening the splendour of the Sun. |
Mbh.1.43.2264 | In that case, this blazing fame of thine that hath overspread the three worlds will disappear like the Sun when deprived of his splendour on the occasion of the eclipse' |
Mbh.1.54.2721 | And Astika having gone thither, beheld the excellent sacrificial compound with numerous Sadasyas on it whose splendour was like unto that of the Sun or Agni. |
Mbh.1.61.2946 | And with the five Pandavas, each like unto the Sun, the Earth looked as if she had six Suns. |
Mbh.1.62.2987 | A person, however cruel and sinful, by hearing this history, escapes from all his sins like the Sun from Rahu after the eclipse is over. |
Mbh.1.65.3278 | The Surya and Chandramas the Sun and the Moon of the celestials are other persons, and not the sons of Danu as mentioned above. |
Mbh.1.65.3281 | And Sinhika gave birth to Rahu, the persecutor of the Sun and the Moon, and to three others, Suchandra, Chandrahantri, and Chandrapramardana. |
Mbh.1.65.3293 | They were like the Sun himself in energy, and set their hearts on acquiring the regions of Brahman. |
Mbh.1.67.3466 | The Graha who was brought forth by Sinhika and who persecuted the Sun and the Moon became noted on earth as the monarch Kratha. |
Mbh.1.71.3754 | This great ascetic Viswamitra like unto the Sun in splendour, is engaged in the most severe of penances. |
Mbh.1.71.3779 | His mouth is like unto a blazing fire; the pupils of his eyes are like the Sun and the Moon; his tongue is like unto Yama himself. |
Mbh.1.74.3918 | The Sun, the Moon, the Air, the Fire, the Earth, the Sky, Water, the heart, Yama, the day, the night, both twilights, and Dharma, all witness the acts of man. |
Mbh.1.75.4124 | And Kasyapa, the son of Marichi, begat on the eldest of his thirteen wives, the Adityas, the celestials endued with great energy and having Indra as their head and also Vivaswat the Sun. |
Mbh.1.76.4237 | The Sun also hath set, O father! |
Mbh.1.83.4642 | Sarmishtha replied, O thou of sweet smiles, in asceticism and energy, that Rishi is resplendent like the Sun himself. |
Mbh.1.86.4822 | The progenitor of the extensive race of the Kurus, he was of the splendour of the Sun. |
Mbh.1.86.4833 | And he passed another year practising the severest austerities in the midst of four fires around and the Sun overhead. |
Mbh.1.92.5024 | SECTION XCII Sambhava Parva continued Ashtaka asked, Who amongst these, O king, both exerting constantly like the Sun and the Moon, first attaineth to communion with Brahma, the ascetic or the man of knowledge' |
Mbh.1.93.5077 | Yayati answered, There are as many regions for thee to enjoy in heaven as the number of places in the firmament, the Earth and the ten points of the universe illumined by the Sun' |
Mbh.1.95.5234 | And the prince was so called because he had conquered all the eastern countries up to the very confines of the region where the Sun rises. |
Mbh.1.100.5568 | In splendour he was like the Sun and in impetuosity of valour like Vayu. |
Mbh.1.100.5604 | Thus commanded by Ganga, Santanu took his child resembling the Sun himself in glory and returned to his capital. |
Mbh.1.104.5886 | The Rishi by merely touching her person said to her, Thou shalt have five children named Anga, Vanga, Kalinga, Pundra and Suhma, who shall be like unto Surya Sun himself in glory. |
Mbh.1.111.6112 | Thus addressed by the Brahmana, the amiable Kunti Pritha became curious, and in her maidenhood summoned the god Arka Sun. |
Mbh.1.111.6115 | But the god Vivaswat Sun approaching her, said, Here I am, O black-eyed girl! |
Mbh.1.111.6120 | Surya Sun replied, I know that Durvasa hath granted this boon. |
Mbh.1.121.6486 | And thereupon Vyushitaswa began to shine above all men like the Sun appearing in double splendour after the season of frost is over. |
Mbh.1.121.6496 | Sexual excess, however, brought on an attack of phthisis and the king died within a few days, sinking like the Sun in his glory. |
Mbh.1.123.6590 | Then the god, overpowered by her incantations, arrived at the spot where Kunti was seated in his car resplendent as the Sun. |
Mbh.1.123.6628 | Endued with a great soul, in splendour equal unto the Sun, invincible in battles, and of great achievements, he will also be extremely handsome. |
Mbh.1.123.6648 | The sons of Kadru Nagas, the son of Vinata, the Gandharvas, the lords of the creation, and the seven great Rishis, viz, Bharadwaja, Kasyapa, Gautama, Viswamitra, Jamadagni, Vasishtha, and the illustrious Atri who illumined the world of old when the Sun was lost, all came there. |
Mbh.1.127.6792 | And let Madri's body be so carefully wrapped up that neither the Sun nor Vayu god of wind may behold it. |
Mbh.1.133.7119 | Gautami, in time, gave birth to a son named Aswatthaman of great prowess and equal in splendour unto the Sun himself. |
Mbh.1.138.7354 | He was a portion of the hot-beamed Sun and his energy and prowess were like unto those of the lion, or the bull, or the leader of a herd of elephants. |
Mbh.1.138.7355 | In splendour he resembled the Sun, in loveliness the Moon, and in energy the fire. |
Mbh.1.138.7356 | Begotten by the Sun himself, he was tall in stature like a golden palm tree, and, endued with the vigour of youth, he was capable of slaying a lion. |
Mbh.1.138.7361 | And that foremost of eloquent men, the offspring of the Sun, in a voice deep as that of the clouds, addressed his unknown brother, the son of the subduer of the Asura, Paka Indra, saying, O Partha, I shall perform feats before this gazing multitude; excelling all thou hast performed! |
Mbh.1.138.7384 | And Phalguna remained deep hid under cover of the clouds, while Karna remained visible, being surrounded by the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.1.139.7423 | Can a she-deer bring forth a tiger like Karna, of the splendour of the Sun, and endued with every auspicious mark, and born also with a natural mail and ear-rings? |
Mbh.1.143.7744 | Then Karna, the offspring of the Sun, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, endeavoured by various means to compass the death of the Pandavas. |
Mbh.1.174.8924 | My name is Tapati and I am the younger sister of Savitri, and the daughter, O bull amongst Kshatriyas of Savitri, of Sun the illuminator of the universe |
Mbh.1.182.9274 | And the son of Saktri, like the Sun just emerging from the clouds, illuminated the whole firmament by that stainless sacrifice of his into which large were the libations poured of clarified butter. |
Mbh.1.182.9275 | Then Vasishtha and the other Rishis regarded that Muni blazing with his own energy as if he were the second Sun. |
Mbh.1.188.9448 | Then Karna, laughing in vexation and casting glance at the Sun, threw aside the bow already drawn to a circle. |
Mbh.1.194.9653 | Then, O monarch, the assembled kings stood motionless and looked at that couple of heroes, while they, resembling the Sun and the Moon, taking Krishna with them, left the amphitheatre and went into the abode of a potter in the suburbs of the town, and there at the potter's abode sat a lady like unto a flame of fire who, I think, is their mother. |
Mbh.1.211.10398 | The Sun and the Moon, the Planets and Stars, and Constellations, and the other dwellers in the firmament, witnessing these acts of Sunda and Upasunda, grieved deeply. |
Mbh.1.217.10632 | He seemed to have illuminated the whole region like the Sun himself. |
Mbh.2.20.893 | Possessed of superior energy and of bodies already like the Sun, the Moon, and the Fire, inflamed with wrath at the sad lot of their relative kings, those bodies of theirs became much more blazing. |
Mbh.2.48.1995 | And Vasudeva at the conclusion of the sacrifice having brought an excellent conch bathed the Sun of Pritha with sea water brought in thousand jars of gold, all well adorned with numerous gems. |
Mbh.2.78.3377 | And Rahu came to devour the Sun, although it was not the day of conjunction And meteors began to fall, keeping the city to their right. |
Mbh.2.79.3437 | Meteors fell from the sky, and Rahu by swallowing the Sun unseasonably alarmed the people terribly. |
Mbh.3.22.1066 | But those Danavas that had sent up that shout were all slain by those shafts of mine blazing as the Sun himself, and capable of striking at the perception of sound alone. |
Mbh.3.25.1209 | O son of Pritha, in truth, and virtue, and proper behaviour, and modesty, thou hast surpassed all creatures, and thy fame and energy are as bright as fire or the Sun! |
Mbh.3.30.1461 | They appear to them in a different light, even like the rays of the Sun which to ordinary eyes are only a pencil of light, while to eyes more penetrating seem fraught with the germs of food and drink. |
Mbh.3.33.1745 | Beholding, O king, this thy distress, the world hath come to the conclusion that light may forsake the Sun and grace the Moon. |
Mbh.3.42.2274 | Thus having bidden farewell to the mountain, that slayer of hostile heroes, Arjuna, blazing like the Sun himself, ascended the celestial car. |
Mbh.3.76.3793 | May the Sun that ever courseth through the sky take my life, if I have committed any sin. |
Mbh.3.78.3881 | And that bull among men all the while blazed forth in beauty of person like a second Sun. |
Mbh.3.81.3941 | And Yajnaseni in obedience to the dictates of morality adhered to her lords, the sons of Pritha, like Savitri to the Vedas or the rays of the Sun to the peak of Meru. |
Mbh.3.83.4169 | Repairing next to the tirtha called Surya and bathing there with subdued soul and worshipping the Pitris and the gods, fasting all the while, one obtaineth the fruit of the Agnishtoma sacrifice and goeth finally to the region of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.83.4231 | Bathing there, O tiger among men, one goeth to the region of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.85.4739 | Like king Bhagiratha and the illustrious Rama, dost thou shine among kings even as the Sun himself. |
Mbh.3.92.4934 | And as Dadhichi had protected Indra, and Angiras had protected the Sun, so do thou, O best of regenerate ones, protect the sons of Kunti from Rakshasas. |
Mbh.3.104.5373 | Thus addressed the mountain suddenly began to increase from wrath, desirous, O chastiser of foes, of obstructing the path of the Sun and the Moon. |
Mbh.3.104.5377 | The gods said, This king of hills, Vindhya, giving way to wrath, is stopping the path of the Sun and the Moon, and also the course of the stars. |
Mbh.3.112.5791 | And rich was his beauty blazing like the Sun; and he was exceedingly fair with eyes graceful and black. |
Mbh.3.138.7045 | There betaking himself to the severest penances, the great Brahmana sought the protection of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.138.7046 | Thereupon, the revelation teaching the mantra relative to the worship of the Sun, became manifest unto him and that eternal deity who obtaineth his share of the sacrificial butter first, appeared before him in an embodied form' |
Mbh.3.144.7335 | And the hermitage was inhabited by hosts of great sages, subsisting on fruits and roots; and having their senses under perfect control; and clad in black deer-skins; and effulgent like unto the Sun and Agni; and of souls magnified by asceticism and intent on emancipation; and leading the Vanaprastha mode of life; and of subdued senses; and identified with the Supreme Soul; and of high fortune; and reciting Vaidic hymns. |
Mbh.3.159.8084 | And then all the creatures saw the graceful Pandava densely surrounded by the Rakshasas, like unto the Sun enveloped by clouds. |
Mbh.3.159.8085 | And even as the Sun surrounds everything with his rays, that mighty-armed and strong one of unfailing prowess, covered all with arrows destroying foes. |
Mbh.3.162.8217 | And the twice-born ones, and the sages versed in the duties, and the Sidhas, and the Sadhyas, and the celestials pay their adorations unto the Sun as he riseth from this point. |
Mbh.3.162.8221 | Having, O king, arrived at this, the Sun ever abideth by the truth. |
Mbh.3.162.8237 | And, O son of the Kurus, the Sun and the Moon every day go round this Meru, coursing in an opposite direction. |
Mbh.3.162.8240 | Thus the worshipful Sun who dispelleth darkness, goeth round this mountain obscuring other luminaries. |
Mbh.3.162.8241 | Then having set, and passed the evening, that Maker of day, the Sun, taketh a northerly course. |
Mbh.3.162.8242 | Then again nearing the Meru, the divine Sun ever intent on the good of all beings, again courseth, facing the east. |
Mbh.3.162.8245 | In the same way, that destroyer of darkness, the divine Sun, also moveth on this unobstructed path, animating the universe. |
Mbh.3.162.8247 | Then the Sun, turning back from the south, by his rays draweth up the energy from all creatures both mobile and immobile. |
Mbh.3.162.8250 | And having, by the comfort caused by the shower, wind, and warmth, cherished the mobile and the immobile, the powerful Sun resumeth his former course. |
Mbh.3.162.8251 | O Partha, ranging thus, the Sun unerringly turneth on the wheel of Time, influencing created things. |
Mbh.3.162.8254 | O Bharata, dividing time into day and night, and Kala, and Kashtha, that lord, the Sun, dealeth life and motion to all created things |
Mbh.3.163.8263 | And staying in the mountain, remaining in which the Sun of unrivalled energy cherisheth the mobile and immobile things, those heroes and foremost of men beheld the rising and the setting of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.163.8264 | And having seen the rising and the setting points of the Sun and the rising and the setting mountain, and all the cardinal points, as well as the intervening spaces ever blazing with the rays of the Dispeller of darkness, those heroes, in expectation of the arrival of that mighty charioteer firm in truth, became engaged in reciting the Vedas, practising the daily rituals, chiefly discharging the religious duties, exercising sacred vows, and abiding by the truth. |
Mbh.3.167.8385 | O king, having said this unto me and having embraced me again and again, that Bhrahmana resembling the Sun, went away whither he listed. |
Mbh.3.167.8435 | There the Sun doth not shed heat; nor doth heat or cold or fatigue there affect one, O king. |
Mbh.3.184.9192 | As among the gods in heaven the Sun dispelleth darkness by his effulgence, so doth the king completely root out sin from this earth. |
Mbh.3.187.9405 | And I beheld there the firmament also, decked with the Sun and the Moon, blazing with effulgence, and possessed of lustre of fire of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.188.9452 | Fire is my mouth, the earth my feet, and the Sun and the Moon are my eyes; the Heaven is the crown of my head, the firmament and the cardinal points are my ears; the waters are born of my sweat. |
Mbh.3.188.9463 | I am the flame known as Samvartaka, I am the Wind called by that name, I am the Sun wearing that appellation, and I am the fire that hath that designation. |
Mbh.3.189.9612 | And the Sun will appear with six others of the same kind. |
Mbh.3.189.9614 | And the Sun, from the hour of his rising to that of setting, will be enveloped by Rahu. |
Mbh.3.189.9621 | And, O king, when the end of the Yuga comes, Rahu will swallow the Sun unseasonably. |
Mbh.3.189.9631 | And then when the Sun, the Moon, and Vrihaspati will, with the constellation Pushya, enter the same sign, the Krita age will begin again. |
Mbh.3.199.10289 | A gift also that is made while the Sun is on the solstitial points, one again that is made on the last day of the Sun's path through Libra, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces, a gift again during eclipses of the Moon and the Sun, produce merit that is inexhaustible. |
Mbh.3.199.10293 | Gold hath sprung from Fire; the Earth from Vishnu; and the cows from the Sun. |
Mbh.3.199.10294 | He, therefore, that giveth away gold, land, and kine attaineth all the regions of Agni, Vishnu, and the Sun. |
Mbh.3.202.10397 | He who is the Source and Creator of the Universe, viz, the Eternal and unfading Vishnu, He who is called by Munis crowned with ascetic success as the Supreme Lord of the Universe, that Being of great holiness, then lay in Yoga sleep on the wide hood of the Snake Sesha of immeasurable energy, and the Creator of the Universe, that highly-blessed and holy Hari, knowing no deterioration, lay on the hood of that Snake encircling the whole Earth and as the Deity lay asleep on that bed, a lotus, endued with great beauty and effulgence equal unto that of the Sun, sprang from his navel. |
Mbh.3.203.10442 | And, O bull of the Bharata race, the huge body of that Asura lay within those sands, effulgent in its own energy like the Sun himself. |
Mbh.3.204.10466 | O regenerate Rishi, O best of men, the Sun, the Moon, the Wind, the Earth, the Fire, the father, the mother, the preceptor, these and other objects ordained by the gods, appear to us as Deities embodied! |
Mbh.3.223.11276 | And that god adorned with sun-like effulgence, then perceived the Sun rising on the Udaya hill and the great Soma Moon gliding into the Sun. |
Mbh.3.223.11280 | And he also observed Agni conveying oblations offered with various hymns by Bhrigu, Angiras, and others and entering the disc of the Sun. |
Mbh.3.223.11281 | And he further saw the twenty four Parvas adorning the Sun, and the terrible Soma also present in the Sun under such surroundings. |
Mbh.3.223.11282 | And observing this union of the Sun and the Moon and that fearful conjunction of theirs, Sakra thought within himself, This terrific conjunction of the Sun and the Moon forebodeth a fearful battle on the morrow. |
Mbh.3.223.11283 | And the river Sindhu Indus too is flowing with a current of fresh blood and the jackals with fiery laces are crying to the Sun. |
Mbh.3.223.11285 | This union of the Moon Soma with the Sun and Agni is very wonderful. |
Mbh.3.224.11340 | And being surrounded by masses of red clouds flashing forth lightning, it shone like the Sun rising in the midst of a mass of red clouds. |
Mbh.3.228.11476 | That son of Fire-god was clad in a pair of clean red cloths, and thus he looked grand and resplendent like the Sun peeping forth from behind a mass of red clouds. |
Mbh.3.228.11484 | To the dwellers of heaven, the anointed Mahasena, appeared like the Sun rising after extinction of darkness. |
Mbh.3.230.11674 | And when the gods were in that fearful predicament, the mighty Mahasena, burning with anger, and looking grand like the Sun advanced to their rescue. |
Mbh.3.230.11676 | And cased in armour of gold he rode in a gold-coloured chariot bright as the Sun and drawn by chestnut horses. |
Mbh.3.235.11899 | Adored by the Brahmanas and worshipped by the kings, thou blazest forth, O king, in consequence of thy prowess, like the Sun among the gods in heaven! |
Mbh.3.235.11903 | Go thither, O king, in all thy prosperity, scorching the son of Pandu with a sight of thy glory, like the Sun scorching everything with his hot rays! |
Mbh.3.239.12040 | But while the entire Dhritarashtra host broke and fled, Karna, that offspring of the Sun, stood there, O king, immovable as a hill. |
Mbh.3.250.12385 | When the night passed away, Karna, that offspring of the Sun, with joined hands, smilingly addressed these wise words to king Duryodhana, No dead man conquereth his foes: it is when he is alive that he can see his good. |
Mbh.3.251.12402 | And what did the offspring of the Sun, Karna, and the mighty Sakuni, and Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa do? |
Mbh.3.277.13520 | And he showed himself to the brothers, staying for a moment in the skies, like the Sun in his effulgence in the firmament. |
Mbh.3.281.13777 | And surrounded by the monkey-chiefs, those princes of Raghu's house with fingers cased in guana skin, shone, as they went, like the Sun and the Moon in the midst of the planets. |
Mbh.3.282.13840 | And surrounded by countless Rakshasas, that hero in his beauty looked like the Sun himself in the midst of masses of clouds. |
Mbh.3.282.13865 | And in consequence of those monkeys leaping up and leaping down and leaping in transverse directions, the Sun himself, his bright disc completely shaded, became invisible for the dust they raised. |
Mbh.3.282.13866 | And the citizens of Lanka beheld the wall of their town assume all over a tawny hue, covered by monkeys of complexions yellow as the ears of paddy, and grey as Shirisha flowers, and red as the rising Sun, and white as flax or hemp. |
Mbh.3.286.13994 | And the heroic brothers Rama and Lakshmana, pierced all over with arrows, dropped down on the ground like the Sun and the Moon fallen down from the firmament |
Mbh.3.288.14053 | And that time Matali, the charioteer of Indra, approached Rama on the field of battle, with a car effulgent as the Sun and unto which were yoked horses of a tawny hue. |
Mbh.3.294.14353 | And when the Sun had risen about a couple of hand Savitri thinking within herself, To-day is that day, finished her morning rites, and offered oblations to the flaming fire. |
Mbh.3.294.14360 | Thereat Savitri said, Now that I have completed the purposed vow, I will eat when the Sun goes down. |
Mbh.3.295.14403 | And his body was of large proportions and effulgent as the Sun. |
Mbh.3.295.14444 | Let that king through thy favour attain his eye-sight, and become strong like either fire or the Sun' |
Mbh.3.295.14504 | And verily it is the righteous who by their truth make the Sun move in the heaven. |
Mbh.3.300.14798 | The next day, after having told his prayers, Karna related his dream unto the Sun. |
Mbh.3.304.14918 | And she gazed and gazed on that orb without being satiated with the beauty of the morning Sun. |
Mbh.3.307.15044 | And then he beheld a boy resembling the morning Sun. |
Mbh.3.307.15064 | This, O foremost of kings, was without doubt, the secret known to the Sun, viz, begot by himself on Kunti, Karna was being reared in the race of the Sutas. |
Mbh.3.311.15272 | And that bull among the Bharatas then beheld that Yaksha of unusual eyes and huge body tall like a palmyra-palm and looking like fire or the Sun, and irresistible and gigantic like a mountain, staying on a tree, and uttering a loud roar deep as that of the clouds. |
Mbh.3.311.15282 | The Yaksha then said, What is it that maketh the Sun rise? |
Mbh.3.311.15286 | Yudhishthira answered, Brahma maketh the Sun rise: the gods keep him company: Dharma causeth him to set: and he is established in truth |
Mbh.4.6.215 | O thou that art identical with Krishna, O maiden, O thou that hast observed the vow of Brahmacharya, O thou of body bright as the newly-risen Sun, O thou efface beautiful as the full moon. |
Mbh.5.46.2556 | Brahman on the other hand, which is never bereft of consciousness, and which is the Sun's Sun, upholdeth both these two and also the Earth and the Heaven. |
Mbh.5.48.2739 | He that would conquer Vasudeva in battle, would, with his two arms, extinguish a blazing fire, stop the Sun and the Moon, and plunder by force the Amrita of the gods, that Vasudeva, viz, who having mowed down in battle by main force all the royal warriors of the Bhoja race, had carried off on a single car Rukmini of great fame for making her his wife; and by her was afterwards born Pradyumna of high soul. |
Mbh.5.83.3964 | It was at such a time that Janardana, the foremost of mighty persons, in enjoyment of excellent health, having heard the auspicious, sacred-sounding and sweet words of gratified Brahmanas, like Vasava himself hearing the adorations of the celestial Rishis, and having also gone through the customary acts and rites of the morning, purified himself by a bath, and decked his person with unguents and ornaments, worshipped both the Sun and Fire. |
Mbh.5.109.5036 | And so thick is that gloom that it cannot be penetrated by either the Sun himself or by Agni. |
Mbh.5.118.5292 | And, O king, begetting upon her two sons equal unto the Sun and the Moon, thou mayst attain all thy objects both here and hereafter. |
Mbh.6.3.119 | Both the Moon and the Sun are afflicting Rohini. |
Mbh.6.3.147 | And yet in course of the same month both the Moon and the Sun have undergone eclipses on the thirteenth days from the day of the first lunation |
Mbh.6.3.148 | The Sun and the Moon therefore, by undergoing eclipses on unusual days will cause a great slaughter of the creatures of the earth. |
Mbh.6.3.218 | The Sun as well as the Moon gives pure rays. |
Mbh.6.12.679 | It hath been heard that the diameter of the beneficent, fast going and light-giving Sun, O thou of Kuru's race, is ten thousand Yojanas, and his circumference, O king, is thirty-five thousand eight hundred miles, in consequence of his largeness, O sinless one. |
Mbh.6.12.681 | The planet Rahu, in consequence of his greater bulk, envelops both the Sun and the Moon in due times. |
Mbh.6.13.701 | That slayer of heroes, beholding whom when addrest for battle the mighty army of the Pandavas, unmanned by fear, used to tremble like a herd of kine when beholding a lion, alas, having protected that army of thine for ten nights and having achieved feats exceedingly difficult of accomplishment, hath set like the Sun |
Mbh.6.14.712 | While seizing the hostile ranks, what warriors opposed that slayer of foes resembling the luminary of thousand rays, who spreading terror among the foe destroyed their ranks like the Sun destroying darkness, and who achieved in battle amongst the ranks of Pandu's sons feats exceedingly difficult of accomplishment? |
Mbh.6.14.715 | Mangling the hostile troops for ten nights, alas, that slayer of ranks hath set like the Sun, having achieved feats difficult of achievement. |
Mbh.6.14.765 | When he beheld Santanu's son, O Sanjaya, lying on earth like the Sun dropped from the firmament, what else was made by Duryodhana as his refuge? |
Mbh.6.16.815 | Then when the Sun rose, the fierce weapons of attack and defence and the coats of mail of both thy sons and the Pandavas, and the large and splendid armies of both sides, became fully visible. |
Mbh.6.17.839 | The Sun, when he rose, seemed to be divided in twain. |
Mbh.6.17.857 | And with his large palmyra-standard decked with five stars, Bhishma, the generalissimo of the Kuru army looked like the resplendent Sun himself. |
Mbh.6.17.874 | And Ketumat also, riding on an elephant with a highly excellent and beautiful hook, was stationed in battle, O King, like the Sun in the midst of black clouds. |
Mbh.6.18.886 | And the heroic warriors all accoutred and cased in golden coats of mail endued with the effulgence of the blazing Sun, themselves looked like blazing fire or the Sun. |
Mbh.6.19.925 | And on the cars of those kings, O monarch, were tall standards bearing diverse devices, decked with excellent ornaments of gold, and endued with the effulgence of the Sun and the Moon. |
Mbh.6.19.931 | Incapable of being looked at like the Sun himself, and scorching as it were, the hostile army like fire, none of the combatants could bear to even look at him from any neat point. |
Mbh.6.19.938 | And large meteors began to fall east-wards, O bull of Bharata's race, and striking against the rising Sun, broke in fragments with loud noise. |
Mbh.6.19.939 | When the troops stood arrayed, O bull of Bharata's race, the Sun rose divested of splendour, and the Earth trembled with a loud sound, and cracked in many places, O chief of the Bharatas, with loud noise. |
Mbh.6.19.942 | And the tall standards of the combatants, furnished with strings of bells, decked with golden ornaments, garlands of flowers, and rich drapery, graced with banners and resembling the Sun in splendour, being suddenly shaken by the wind, gave a loud jingling noise like that of a forest of palmyra trees when moved by the wind. |
Mbh.6.20.944 | SECTION XX Dhritarashtra said, When the Sun rose, O Sanjaya, of my army led by Bhishma and the Pandava army led by Bhima, which first cheerfully approached the other, desirous of fight? |
Mbh.6.20.945 | To which side were the Sun, the Moon and the wind hostile, and against whom did the beasts of prey utter inauspicious sounds? |
Mbh.6.23.1034 | It is thou that supportest the Sun and the Moon and that makes them shine. |
Mbh.6.29.1384 | But of whomsoever that ignorance hath been destroyed by knowledge of self, that knowledge which is like the Sun discloseth the Supreme Being. |
Mbh.6.34.1589 | I am Vishnu among the Adityas, the resplendent Sun among all luminous bodies; I am Marichi among the Maruts, and the Moon among constellations |
Mbh.6.35.1650 | Bearing thy diadem, mace, and discus, a mass of energy, glowing on all sides, do I behold thee that art hard to look at, endued on all sides with the effulgence of the blazing fire or the Sun, and immeasurable. |
Mbh.6.35.1654 | I behold thee to be without beginning, mean, end, to be of infinite prowess, of innumerable arms, having the Sun and the Moon for thy eyes, the blazing fire for thy mouth, and heating this universe with energy of thy own. |
Mbh.6.37.1767 | As the single Sun lights up the entire world, so the Spirit, O Bharata, lights up the entire sphere of matters. |
Mbh.6.44.2184 | And the Sun himself was shrouded by the dust raised by the combatants. |
Mbh.6.48.2423 | Endued with energy equal to that of the Sun himself, he shrouded the very Sun with his arrows. |
Mbh.6.48.2424 | And he removed his enemies from around him in that combat like the rising Sun dispelling the darkness around. |
Mbh.6.48.2454 | Taking the lives of the foe like the Sun at close of winter, he stood resplendent with the golden rays of his car like the Sun himself with his rays. |
Mbh.6.48.2529 | Like the Sun when speedily retiring to his western chambers taking along with him the rays of light, even thus that shaft passed out of Sweta's body, bearing away with itself his life. |
Mbh.6.49.2560 | Brave, acquainted with Vedas, resembling the fire and the Sun in splendour, and possessing a knowledge of the Aindra weapon, that warrior of immeasurable soul is ever victorious when he falleth upon the foe? |
Mbh.6.49.2589 | And Bhishma stood in that battle like a blazing fire without smoke, or like the Sun himself at midday scorching everything around with his heat. |
Mbh.6.50.2645 | And the bearer of Gandiva with that standard graced with gems, and that standard itself with the bearer of Gandiva, looked highly adorned, like the Self-create with the Sun and the Sun with the Self-create |
Mbh.6.55.2964 | Yon Sun, robbing in every way the vision of the whole world, is about to reach that best of mountains called Asta |
Mbh.6.59.3159 | Then the mighty-armed Krishna, beholding the prowess of Bhishma in battle as also the mildness with which Arjuna fought, and seeing that Bhishma was creating incessant showers of arrows in that conflict and looked like the all-consuming Sun himself in the midst of the two armies, and marking besides, that that hero was slaying the foremost of combatants in Yudhishthira's host and causing a havoc in that army as if the hour of dissolution had come, the adorable Kesava, that slayer of hosts, endued with immeasurable soul, unable to bear what he saw, thought that Yudhishthira's army could not survive that slaughter, |
Mbh.6.65.3600 | I am thy form, the celestials constitute thy limbs, and the Sun, the moon are thy two eyes. |
Mbh.6.69.3762 | Firmly grasping his bow whose twang resembled the roar of the clouds, that hero, shrouding the very Sun with his arrows, quickly covered his antagonists therewith. |
Mbh.6.73.3897 | Thereupon the gem hanging on his breast on threads of gold, surrounded by those shafts, looked beautiful like the Sun in the firmament surrounded by the planets. |
Mbh.6.78.4131 | Beholding those heroes on their cars, resembling the Sun himself or the fire in splendour-those great bowmen of blazing effulgence and superb beauty, looking resplendent in that dreadful conflict with ornaments of gold, thy mighty sons abandoned Bhima with whom they had been fighting. |
Mbh.6.89.4655 | SECTION LXXXIX Sanjaya said, The Pandavas were incapable of even looking at Bhishma excited with rage in battle and scorching every side like the Sun himself shedding scorching heat. |
Mbh.6.98.5225 | Smeared with fragrant sandal-paste of the hue of the Bhandi flower and bright as burnished gold, and clad in clean vestments, and proceeding with the sportive gait of the lion, Duryodhana looked beautiful like the Sun of brilliant radiance in the firmament. |
Mbh.6.100.5355 | The Sun, radiant as he was when he had risen, became dimmed. |
Mbh.6.101.5382 | As he consumed thy troops, O Bharata, I beheld his bow incessantly drawn to a circle and resembling on that account the circular halo of light that is sometimes seen around the Sun. |
Mbh.6.101.5401 | Then those great bowmen, accomplished in fighting, viz, the sons of Draupadi, rushed towards the Rakshasa in battle like five planets rushing against the Sun. |
Mbh.6.101.5404 | Thereupon that foremost of Rakshasas, with his armour pierced through, looked like a mass of clouds penetrated by the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.6.102.5472 | And once more, O Bharata, he covered his adversary with a shower of fierce shafts like the clouds, O king covering the Sun after summer is past, Satyaki also, O monarch, baffling that arrowy shower, soon covered the son of Drona with diverse showers of arrows That slayer of hostile heroes, viz, the grandson of Sini, freed from that arrowy shower like the Sun from the clouds, began to scorch the son of Drona with his energy. |
Mbh.6.103.5516 | Stationed in the midst of those elephants, the son of Pandu looked resplendent like the Sun in the midst of a mighty mass of clouds. |
Mbh.6.106.5616 | SECTION CVI Sanjaya said, Beholding Bhishma excited with wrath in battle, surrounded on all sides by the Pandavas like the Sun in the firmament. |
Mbh.6.106.5628 | And as these dashed over the field, there rose a cloud of dust, which rising to the welkin shrouded the very Sun. |
Mbh.6.106.5650 | Then when the Sun, having passed the meridian, was sinking, there commenced a fierce and terrible battle on that part of the field. |
Mbh.6.107.5696 | Thus asked, Madhava urged those steeds of a silvery hue, to the spot where Bhishma, incapable of being looked at like the Sun himself, was staying. |
Mbh.6.107.5710 | Then that slayer of hostile heroes, viz, the mighty-armed Vasudeva of Madhu's race beholding that Partha was fighting mildly and that Bhishma was incessantly scattering his arrowy showers in battle, and that stationed between the two hosts, he latter was scorching everything like the Sun himself, smiting down the foremost of Yudhishthira's combatants, and, in fact, achieving feat on Yudhishthira's army like unto what happeneth at the end of the Yuga, could not any longer bear it. |
Mbh.6.107.5737 | Thy sire Devavrata took the lives of the hostile warriors like the Sun sucking with his rays the energies of all things during summer. |
Mbh.6.107.5739 | And the routed soldiers, helpless and heartless, slaughtered in hundreds and thousands by Bhishma, were unable to even look at him in that battle, him who resembled the mid-day Sun blazing in his own splendour. |
Mbh.6.107.5742 | Indeed, the Pandavas could not, O Bharata, look at that mighty car-warrior incapable of being shaken, who, furnished with a profusion of shafts, was scorching the kings in the Pandava army, and who in consequence of those shafts looked like the blazing Sun shedding his fiery rays. |
Mbh.6.108.5744 | SECTION CVIII Sanjaya said, While they were battling, the Sun set, O Bharata, aid there came the dreadful hour of twilight and the battle could no longer be seen. |
Mbh.6.108.5845 | O slayer of hostile heroes, constantly smiting as thou dost cars and steeds and men and elephants, we behold thee on thy car, O mighty-armed one, to resemble a second Sun. |
Mbh.6.110.6010 | And he drained the energies of those royal and mighty car-warriors that were the foremost among the Panchalas, like the Sun sucking up the moisture of the earth with his rays. |
Mbh.6.110.6012 | And no one amongst the Pandavas was capable of even looking at him who then resembled the burning Sun staying in the northern solstice. |
Mbh.6.111.6052 | Both of them, in beauty and splendour, O Bharata, resembled the Sun or the Moon. |
Mbh.6.112.6124 | And those two bulls among men, enraged in battle, shot at each other shafts brightly polished by their forgers and endued with effulgence of the Sun. |
Mbh.6.113.6143 | The Sun himself seems to have lost hue. |
Mbh.6.113.6149 | The constellation called Parigha, with a trunkless form, appeareth around the Sun. |
Mbh.6.116.6332 | The splendour, equal to that of either the Sun or the Moon, of bracelets and diadems of all the heroic kings, became dimmed. |
Mbh.6.118.6478 | Scattering his shafts all around like the Sun shedding rays of light, Partha felled many other kings, O monarch. |
Mbh.6.119.6526 | Achieving the most glorious feats on the tenth day, as he stayed between the two armies, bow in hand, none of the kings, O monarch, could even look at him, for he then resembled the hot mid-day Sun in the summer sky. |
Mbh.6.120.6656 | While falling he had marked that the Sun was then in the southern solstice. |
Mbh.6.120.6664 | Beholding that high-souled son of Ganga, that chief of the Bharatas, they walked round him, and the Sun being then in the southern solstice, they said, addressing one another, these words, Being a high-souled person, why should Bhishma pass out of the world during the southern declension' |
Mbh.6.120.6669 | I will never pass out of the world as long as the Sun is in the southern solstice. |
Mbh.6.120.6671 | I will proceed to my own ancient abode when the Sun reacheth the northern solstice. |
Mbh.6.121.6709 | And the welkin was enveloped with a gloom and the Sun himself became dim. |
Mbh.6.122.6762 | I will sleep on this bed till the Sun turneth to the northern solstice! |
Mbh.6.122.6764 | When the Sun on his car of great speed and unto which are yoked seven steeds, will proceed towards the direction occupied by Vaisravana, verily, even then, will I yield up my life like a dear friend dismissing a dear friend! |
Mbh.6.122.6766 | Thus pierced with hundreds of arrows will I pay my adorations to the Sun? |
Mbh.6.123.6788 | And women and old men and children, and ordinary spectators, all approached Santanu's son like creatures of the world desirous of beholding the Sun. |
Mbh.6.123.6800 | I am staying here, expecting only the return of the Moon and the Sun! |
Mbh.6.123.6825 | As human beings are, in this world, foremost of all creatures, as Garuda is the foremost of all winged creatures; as the Ocean is the foremost among all receptacles of water and the cow among all quadrupeds; as the Sun is the foremost amongst all luminous bodies and Himavat among all mountains; as the Brahmana is the foremost among all castes, art thou the foremost of all bowmen! |
Mbh.7.2.67 | When that mighty car-warrior, viz, the son of Santanu, hath been overthrown, who even now lieth on the ground like the Sun himself dropped from the firmament, the Kuru kings are scarcely competent to bear Dhananjaya, like trees incapable of bearing the mountain-wind. |
Mbh.7.2.106 | Worshipped by the foremost of Kuru car-warriors like Indra by the celestials, that high-souled and fierce bowman, endued with immeasurable energy like the Sun himself, upon his car decked with gold and jewels and gems, furnished with an excellent standard, unto which were yoked excellent steeds, and whose rattle resembled the roll of the clouds, proceeded, accompanied by a large force, to that field of battle where that bull of Bharata's race Bhishma had paid his debt to nature. |
Mbh.7.3.109 | Beholding him who was always an island unto persons sinking in the fathomless ocean in their endeavours to cross it, beholding that hero covered with arrows that had coursed in a stream as continuous as that of Yamuna, that hero who looked like Mainaka of unbearable energy thrown down on the earth by the great Indra, that warrior lying prostrate on the earth like the Sun dropped down from the firmament, that one who looked like the inconceivable Indra himself after his defeat of old by Vritra, that depriver of all warriors of their senses, that foremost of all combatants, that signal of all bowmen, beholding that hero and bull among men, viz, thy sire Bhishma of high vows, that grandsire of the Bharatas thrown down in battle and lying covered with Arjuna's shafts, on a hero's bed. |
Mbh.7.4.131 | SECTION IV Sanjaya said, Unto him who was talking thus, the aged Kuru grandsire with a cheerful heart, said these words adapted to both time and place: Like the ocean unto rivers, like the Sun unto all luminous bodies, like the righteous unto Truth, like a fertile soil unto seeds, like the clouds unto all creatures, be thou the refuge of thy relatives and friends! |
Mbh.7.6.188 | As Kapali amongst the Rudras, Pavaka among the Vasus, Kuvera among the Yakshas, Vasava among the Maruts, Vasishtha among Brahmanas, the Sun amongst luminous bodies, Yama among the Pitris, Varuna among aquatic creatures, as the Moon among the stars, and Usanas among the sons of Diti, so art thou the foremost of all leaders of forces. |
Mbh.7.7.221 | And his blazing and large and tall standard bearing the advice of the elephant's rope, shone with an effulgence like that of the Sun, gladdening his own divisions. |
Mbh.7.7.233 | The banner of Partha, possessed of great intelligence, seemed to resemble the blazing Sun that riseth at the end of the Yuga for consuming the world. |
Mbh.7.8.289 | Then Drona, desirous of the prosperity of thy sons, having thus crushed the divisions of Satyaki, and Bhima, and Dhananjaya and Subhadra's son and Drupada, and the ruler of the Kasi, and having ground many other heroes in battle, indeed, that high-souled warrior, having achieved these and many other feats, and having, O chief of the Kurus, scorched the world like the Sun himself as he rises at the end of the Yuga, proceeded hence, O monarch, to heaven. |
Mbh.7.13.528 | Then he, of the golden car, viz, Drona like the Sun himself of great splendour, crushing the ranks of the Pandavas, careered through them at will. |
Mbh.7.13.531 | Indeed, Drona then seemed as the Sun himself at mid-day covered by a hundred rays of light. |
Mbh.7.14.649 | Having vanquished the ruler of the Sindhus, Subhadra's son, that slayer of hostile heroes, then began to scorch that division of the Kaurava army like Sun scorching the world. |
Mbh.7.16.752 | Then the Pandavas and the Srinjayas and the Panchalas, filled with joy, praised Partha with delightful speeches like the Rishis praising the Sun. |
Mbh.7.20.925 | Upon the gems on their headgears, upon their necklaces and other ornaments, and upon their coats of mail, rays of light like those of the Sun seemed to fall and play. |
Mbh.7.22.1072 | Those bulls of the race, surrounding Vrikodara on all sides, like the clouds surrounding the Sun, begin to approach Drona from all sides. |
Mbh.7.24.1305 | Meanwhile, king Bhagadatta on his elephant, shooting shafts on the foe, looked resplendent like the Sun himself scattering his rays on the earth. |
Mbh.7.30.1600 | Possessed of great fame and endued as he was with the energy of the Sun himself, Arjuna's emblem, viz, his banner bearing the ape, was beheld by us to blaze with splendour. |
Mbh.7.30.1601 | Having dried up the Samsaptaka ocean by means of weapons that constituted his rays, the son of Pandu then blasted the Kurus also, as if he were the very Sun that arises at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.30.1645 | Meanwhile, the Sun went to his chambers in the western hills, and both the armies, O Bharata, slowly retired to their respective tents. |
Mbh.7.36.1876 | Like the Sun himself shedding his rays, Abhimanyu, filled with wrath, shot hundreds and thousands of whetted arrows, furnished with golden wings. |
Mbh.7.67.2894 | The Eastern hill, whereon the Sun rises, became the calf; the prince of mountains, viz, Meru, became the milker; the diverse gems and deciduous herbs became the milk; and the stones became the vessels for holding that milk. |
Mbh.7.80.3556 | Worshippers of the Sun, they numbered a thousand. |
Mbh.7.88.3897 | Like the Sun, that rises at the end of the Yuga, drying up with his rays, vast quantities of water, the son of Pandu, by his showers of weapons and arrows, slew a vast number of car-warriors and steeds and elephants and foot-soldiers. |
Mbh.7.150.7855 | With thousands of arrows, however, O king, shot by the combatants the ten points were no longer illuminated as before in consequence of the Sun having set. |
Mbh.7.198.11286 | When by those austerities, O sire, he became: like Brahma he then beheld the Master, Origin, and Guardian of the Universe, the Lord of all the gods, the Supreme Deity, who is exceedingly difficult of being gazed at, who is minuter than the minutest and larger than, the largest, who is called Rudra who is the lord of all the superior ones, who is called Hara and Sambhu, who has matted locks on his head, who is the infuser of life into every form, who is the First cause of all immobile: and mobile things, who is irresistible and of frightful aspect, who is of fierce wrath and great Soul, who is the All-destroyer, and of large heart; who beareth the celestial bow and a couple of quivers, who is cased in golden armour, and whose energy is infinite, who holdeth Pinaka, who is; armed with thunderbolt, a blazing trident, battle axe, mace, and a large sword; whose eye-brows are fair, whose locks are matted, who wieldeth the heavy short club, who hath the moon on his forehead, who is clad in tiger-skin, and who is armed with the bludgeon; who is decked with beautiful angadas, who hath snakes for his sacred thread, and who is surrounded by diverse creatures of the universe and by numerous ghosts and spirits, who is the One, who is the abode of ascetic austerities, and who is highly adored by persons of venerable age; who is Water, Heaven, Sky, Earth, Sun, Moon, Wind and Fire, and who is the measure of the duration of the universe. |
Mbh.8.7.211 | Thy son also, that foremost of heroes in Kuru's race, Purumitra, O king, riding on his car possessed of the effulgence of fire or the Sun, stayeth on the field, like the Sun himself shining brilliantly in the cloudless firmament. |
Mbh.8.7.213 | In the midst of many kings, that foremost of men, possessed of the splendour of a lotus, looked resplendent in his beautiful armour of gold like a fire with little smoke or the Sun emerged from the clouds. |
Mbh.8.8.233 | Vaishampayana said, Hearing of the slaughter of Karna that was incredible and astounding, that was dreadful and capable of paralysing the senses of all creatures, that looked like the downfall of Meru, or a never-to-be-believed clouding of the intellect of the wise Shukra, or the defeat of Indra of terrible feats at the hands of his foes, or the falling down on the Earth of the resplendent Sun from the firmament, or a scarcely-to-be-comprehended drying up of the ocean, that receptacle of inexhaustible waters, or the annihilation, perfectly astounding, of the earth, the firmament, the points of the compass, and the waters, or the fruitlessness of acts both virtuous and sinful, king Dhritarashtra, having earnestly reflected for some time on it, thought that his army had been annihilated. |
Mbh.8.9.322 | It was possible for the Earth to be destitute of the splendour of the Sun, of the Moon, or of fire, but the death of that foremost of men, who never retreated from battle, could not be possible. |
Mbh.8.10.358 | Observing the indications of those who were all desirous of pouring their lives as libations on the battle-fire, and beholding the monarch's face radiant as morning Sun, the preceptor's son endued with intelligence and accomplished in speech, said these words: Enthusiasm, opportunity, skill and policy, these are the means declared by the learned, to be capable of accomplishing all ends. |
Mbh.8.10.392 | As the risen Sun, scorching everything by his energy, destroyeth the thick gloom, even so do thou destroy our foes |
Mbh.8.10.405 | And they also said Slay the Parthas and the Pancalas, O son of Radha, for our victory, like risen Sun ever destroying Darkness with his fierce rays! |
Mbh.8.10.406 | The son of Pandu with Keshava are not able to even look at the shafts shot by thee, like owls unable to gaze at the burning rays of the Sun! |
Mbh.8.10.408 | Installed in the command, Radha's son of incomparable splendour looked resplendent in beauty and radiance like a second Sun. |
Mbh.8.10.410 | That chastiser of foes, Karna, also, O king, having obtained the command, ordered the troops to be arrayed, at the rise of the Sun. |
Mbh.8.11.417 | Then the Suta's son bearing a gold-backed bow appeared on the field in his car possessed of the splendour of the radiant Sun, crowned with many banners, equipped with a white standard, with steeds of the hue of cranes, bearing the device of the elephants' rope, filled with a hundred quivers, furnished with mace and wooden fence, freighted with shataghnis and rows of bells and darts and lances and spears, and supplied with many bows. |
Mbh.8.11.419 | Beholding the mighty bowman Karna, that foremost of car-warriors, seated on his car, difficult of approach and resembling the risen Sun that destroys the gloom, none amongst the Kauravas, O tiger among men, recked, O sire, the loss of Bhishma or Drona or other men! |
Mbh.8.12.476 | That fierce and foremost of elephants, duly equipped, looked resplendent, like the stone-built mansion on the top of the Udaya mountain, crowned with the risen Sun. |
Mbh.8.12.478 | With a lance in his outstretched arm, his head decked with a beautiful diadem, and possessed of the splendour of the meridian Sun at autumn, Bhima began to burn his foes. |
Mbh.8.12.487 | With those lances sticking to his body, Bhimasena, whose form then blazed with wrath, looked resplendent like the cloud-covered Sun with his rays issuing through the interstices of that canopy. |
Mbh.8.12.488 | Then Bhima carefully hurled at his antagonist a lance bright as the rays of the Sun, coursing perfectly straight, and made entirely of iron. |
Mbh.8.13.503 | Karna also, O king, in that battle slew the Pandava army with his cloth-yard shafts bright as the rays of the Sun and polished by the hands of the smith. |
Mbh.8.14.578 | Shooting diverse kinds of shafts and Sataghnis decked with rows of bells, they soon covered Prativindhya like masses of clouds covering the Sun. |
Mbh.8.15.585 | Pierced all over with keen arrows by the son of Drona, Bhimasena looked resplendent in that battle like the Sun himself with his rays. |
Mbh.8.15.597 | They became invisible under those clouds of arrows on all sides like the Sun and the Moon in the firmament shrouded by masses of clouds. |
Mbh.8.16.679 | Cutting off every one of those arrows shot by Ashvatthama into three fragments, that foremost one of Bharata's race destroyed them all like the Sun destroying a thick fog. |
Mbh.8.16.687 | Indeed, Dhananjaya, resembling the very Sun as he rises at the end of the Yuga, dried up the samsaptaka ocean incapable of being dried up easily, by means of keen arrows constituting his rays. |
Mbh.8.16.688 | Without losing a moment, the son of Pandu once more pierced Drona's son resembling a huge hill, with shafts of great impetuosity and the splendour of the Sun, like the wielder of the thunderbolt piercing a mountain with the thunder. |
Mbh.8.17.696 | With that shaft the son of Drona looked resplendent like the Sun with upward rays. |
Mbh.8.17.704 | Cut off with broad-headed and crescent-shaped and razor-faced arrows, human heads, resembling the lotus, the Sun, or the full Moon in beauty and resplendent with diadems and necklaces and crowns, dropped ceaselessly on the earth. |
Mbh.8.17.707 | When that elephant force was broken, the diadem-decked Arjuna shrouded the son of his preceptor with shafts endued with the splendour of the newly risen Sun, like the wind shrouding the risen Sun with masses of congregated clouds. |
Mbh.8.17.708 | Checking with his own shafts those of Arjuna, Drona's son shrouding both Arjuna and Vasudeva with his arrows, gave a loud roar, like a mass of clouds at the close of summer after shrouding the Sun or the Moon in the firmament. |
Mbh.8.20.862 | That diadem possessed of the splendour of the Sun, the Moon, the planets, or the fire, in consequence of the violence of the stroke, fell down, split into fragments, like a mountain summit riven by Indra's thunder, falling down on the Earth with great noise. |
Mbh.8.22.920 | Beholding the prince of the Pancalas shrouded by those elephants like the Sun by the clouds, the Pandus and the Pancalas proceeded towards him for his rescue uttering loud roars and armed with sharp weapons. |
Mbh.8.22.931 | Then the ruler of the Angas hurled at Nakula eight hundred lances bright as the rays of the Sun. |
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.8.24.989 | With those arrows sticking to him here, the son of Madri looked resplendent like the Sun with his own rays while shedding his light on the Earth. |
Mbh.8.24.1005 | Shrouded within arrowy chambers, both the warriors became invisible, like the Sun and the Moon, O king, hidden by the clouds. |
Mbh.8.24.1034 | The Suta's son, O monarch, made a great massacre there at that hour when the Sun had reached the meridian, that puissant warrior careering all the while with the activity of a wheel. |
Mbh.8.28.1239 | Even thus occurred that destruction of troops of both the Kurus and the Pandavas, both parties having been actuated by the desire of winning great fame, at that hour when the Sun had passed the meridian |
Mbh.8.30.1285 | Strewn with human heads that were adorned with white teeth and fair faces and beautiful eyes and goodly noses, and graced with beautiful diadems and earrings, and everyone of which resembled the lotus, the Sun, or the Moon, the Earth looked exceedingly resplendent. |
Mbh.8.30.1291 | Then the son of Surya, resembling the chief of the celestials himself in prowess and like unto the younger brother of Indra, struck that foremost one of Sini's race with shafts whose splendour resembled the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.8.30.1322 | Whilst thy warriors were thus engaged in battle from desire of victory, the Sun approaching the Setting Mountain, entered it. |
Mbh.8.31.1355 | Did my troops cast their eyes on Radha's son like persons afflicted with cold turning their gaze towards the Sun? |
Mbh.8.34.1658 | Making the Sun and the Moon equal, these were made the other two wheels of that foremost of cars. |
Mbh.8.36.1908 | Beholding Shalya stationed, Karna ascended his excellent car like the Sun riding on a mass of clouds charged with lightning. |
Mbh.8.36.1909 | Mounted on the same car, those two heroes endued with the splendour or the Sun of fire looked resplendent like Surya and Agni sitting together on a cloud in the firmament. |
Mbh.8.36.1911 | Karna stood on that car, the reins of whose steeds were held by Shalya, stretching his formidable bow, like the Sun himself within a halo of circular light. |
Mbh.8.36.1912 | Stationed on that foremost of cars, that tiger among men, Karna, with his shafts constituting his rays, looked beautiful like the Sun on the Mandara mountains. |
Mbh.8.37.1934 | The seven great planets including the Sun seemed to proceed against one another for combat. |
Mbh.8.37.1945 | That slayer of hostile heroes, that foremost of car-warriors, viz, Vaikartana, as he stayed on his car recollecting the death of Bhishma and Drona, blazed up with splendour like the Sun or fire. |
Mbh.8.37.1956 | In energy Drona was equal to fire or the Sun, in prowess he resembled Vishnu or Purandara; in policy he was equal to Brihaspati or Usana; irresistible as he was, weapons could not yet protect him. |
Mbh.8.37.1981 | Dost thou remember, O Karna, the occasion when, slaughtering those foes in large numbers with his excellent shafts endued with the effulgence of the Sun, Phalguna liberated Dhritarashtra's son himself among the Kurus? |
Mbh.8.37.1993 | When Karna, from desire of fight, addressed Shalya, saying, Proceed then that great carwarrior, having white steeds yoked unto his vehicle and owning Shalya as his charioteer, proceeded against his foes, slaying large numbers in battle along his way, like the Sun destroying the darkness. |
Mbh.8.41.2243 | Like the Sun and moon, Keshava and Arjuna are celebrated for their resplendence. |
Mbh.8.42.2277 | Scorching his foes like the Sun endued with fiery rays, and blazing with flame like that dispeller of the darkness, I shall, like a mass of clouds, completely shroud Dhananjaya today with my shafts. |
Mbh.8.46.2550 | Behold, O Karna, the terrible and portentous Ketu of vapoury form, making the hair to stand on end, hath appeared, covering the Sun. |
Mbh.8.46.2551 | Behold, diverse kinds of animals, all around in large packs, and many mighty wolves and tigers are looking at the Sun. |
Mbh.8.46.2577 | There Partha, shrouded by friends and foes and weapons and dust is not to be seen, like the Sun shrouded by clouds. |
Mbh.8.46.2586 | Like the Sun shrouded by the clouds, Partha is no longer visible. |
Mbh.8.47.2609 | With his steeds white as pigeons, the son of Prishata, equal in splendour to the Sun or the Moon, armed with bow, looked resplendent like Death himself in embodied form. |
Mbh.8.48.2635 | It seemed that the whole Earth with her mountains and trees and oceans, the entire welkin covered with wind-tossed clouds, and the whole firmament with the Sun, the Moon, and the stars, trembled with that sound. |
Mbh.8.49.2746 | That armour, decked with gold and set with gems, looked beautiful, as it fell down, like a wind-tossed cloud penetrated by the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.8.51.2913 | But urged again by their drivers they surrounded Bhimasena once more, like the clouds covering the Sun. |
Mbh.8.51.2917 | Scorched by the Sun as also by the high-souled Bhima, thy army began to shrink like a piece of leather spread over a fire. |
Mbh.8.51.2933 | In consequence of those thousands of arrows, O king, neither the rays of the Sun nor the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary, could any longer be noticed either by ourselves or by the enemy. |
Mbh.8.51.2934 | Indeed, the blazing effulgence of the Sun shining at mid-day was dispelled by those dense showers of arrows shot by Karna and the son of Pandu. |
Mbh.8.51.2938 | The battle that commenced at that hour when the Sun had reached the meridian was such that its like had never been heard or seen by us. |
Mbh.8.53.3030 | Freed from that foot-tying weapon, the Samsaptaka force, O monarch, looked like the Sun himself giving light unto all creatures, when freed from clouds. |
Mbh.8.54.3083 | Thus shrouded, O king, along with his car, Dhrishtadyumna became invisible, like the Sun shrouded by rain-charged clouds. |
Mbh.8.55.3103 | All the kings became incapable of even looking at Ashvatthama, O monarch, who then resembled the scorching Sun himself in the sky. |
Mbh.8.56.3157 | Covered with Duryodhana's shafts the two sons of Pandu ceased to shine brightly, like the Sun and the Moon in the firmament, divested of splendour, when shrouded by masses of clouds. |
Mbh.8.56.3158 | Indeed, those arrows, O king, equipped with wings of gold and whetted on stone, covered all the points of the compass like the rays of the Sun, when the welkin was thus shrouded and all that was seen was one uniform expanse of the Destroyer himself, at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.8.56.3184 | At that hour when the Sun had ascended the meridian, great slaughter, O best of men, of elephants and steeds and men, took place on both sides. |
Mbh.8.56.3207 | Like the Sun dispelling the surrounding darkness, Karna fearlessly and alone encountered all those great bowmen united together and pouring upon him repeated showers of arrows. |
Mbh.8.56.3262 | Indeed, Drona's son rushed, shaking his formidable bow, and taking with him many terrible arrows like the Sun himself appearing with his own rays. |
Mbh.8.60.3535 | Struck by Bhima with ten keen cloth-yard shafts endued with the splendour of the fire or the Sun, the two arms of the roaring prince, with lances in grasp, are lopped off. |
Mbh.8.73.4382 | Innumerable foot-soldiers among the Srinjayas, all well-armed, and other lords of earth, were incapable of even looking at that hero when he careered in battle like the Sun himself of scorching splendour. |
Mbh.8.73.4401 | Indeed, with all its foremost warriors slain, with its steeds, cars, and elephants destroyed, the Bharata army looketh today like the firmament, reft of the Sun, the Moon, and stars. |
Mbh.8.79.4879 | Like men with diseased eyes that are unable to gaze at the sun, the Kauravas on that occasion could not gaze at Jaya who seemed to be possessed of the energy of the all-destroying Sun that rises at the end of the Yuga, having arrows for his rays, and Gandiva for his beautiful circular disc. |
Mbh.8.79.4887 | Having arrows for his fierce rays, the Arjuna sun, with gandiva drawn to its fullest stretch constituting his corona, looked resplendent, as he scorched his foes, like the Sun himself between the months of Jyeshtha and Ashadha, within his bright corona. |
Mbh.8.81.4945 | Like the Sun destroying the darkness with his rays, the son of Pandu destroyed with his own shafts that shower of weapons over-spread in the welkin. |
Mbh.8.82.5032 | With his twanging bow stretched to its fullest limits, and from which shafts flowed incessantly, Satyaki became exceedingly irresistible like the meridian Sun in the autumnal sky. |
Mbh.8.87.5376 | Krishna, however, smiling, said unto Partha these words of grave import, The Sun himself may fall down from his place, the Earth herself may split into a fragments; fire itself may become cold. |
Mbh.8.89.5594 | Dhananjaya having been filled with wrath, all the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary, the very splendour of the Sun, and Karna's car, O king, all became invisible with the showers shot by him. |
Mbh.8.90.5656 | Crushed by that excellent weapon, possessed of splendour, and blazing with the fire of the snake's poison, that beautiful and much-liked diadem of Partha fell down on the earth like the blazing disc of the Sun from the Asta hills. |
Mbh.8.91.5844 | Hastening then for Karna's destruction, Partha took out from his quiver an excellent Anjalika weapon that resembled the thunder of Indra or the rod of fire and that was possessed of the effulgence of the thousand-rayed Sun. |
Mbh.8.91.5874 | As the Sun, while proceeding towards the Asta hills, retires taking away with him all his rays, even so that shaft of Arjuna passed out, taking with it Karna's life breaths. |
Mbh.8.94.6009 | There, the Sun is hanging low in the welkin, O lord! |
Mbh.8.94.6018 | Beholding the Sun assume a crimson hue, all of them speedily proceeded towards their camp. |
Mbh.8.94.6019 | As regards Karna, though slain and pierced with gold-winged shafts whetted on stone and equipped with feathers and dyed in blood and sped from gandiva, yet that hero, lying on the ground, looked resplendent like the Sun himself of bright rays. |
Mbh.8.94.6047 | The Sun set with a pale hue. |
Mbh.8.94.6048 | The planet Mercury, the son of Soma, assuming the hue of fire or the Sun, appeared to course through the firmament in a slanting direction. |
Mbh.9.5.323 | Having shone like the Sun upon the heads of all the kings, how shall I walk behind Yudhishthira like a slave? |
Mbh.9.6.376 | Possessed of beautiful limbs, of head well covered, of a neck adorned with three lines like those in a conch shell, of sweet speech, of eyes resembling the petals of a full blown lotus, and of a face like that of the dignity of Meru, resembling the bull of Mahadeva as regards neck, eyes, tread, and voice, endued with arms that were large, massive, and well-joined, having a chest that was broad and well-formed, equal unto Garuda or the wind in speed and might, gifted with a splendour like that of the rays of the Sun, rivalling Usanas himself in intelligence and the Moon in beauty and form and charms of face, with a body that seemed to be made of a number of golden lotuses, with well-made joints, of well-formed thighs and waist and hips, of beautiful fingers, and beautiful nails, he seemed to have been made by the Creator with care after collecting one after another all the beautiful and good attributes of creation. |
Mbh.9.38.2831 | Then, having practised diverse kinds of austerities with great devotion, the son of Gadhi became like the Sun himself in effulgence. |
Mbh.9.41.2990 | The Asura Namuchi, from fear of Vasava, had entered a ray of the Sun. |
Mbh.9.42.3033 | At the command of Brahman, the lord Agni, approaching the river Ganga, threw into her that divine seed possessed of the effulgence of the Sun. |
Mbh.9.43.3095 | The diverse gods, Indra and Vishnu, both of great energy, and Surya and Candramas, and Dhatri, and Vidhatri, and Vayu, and Agni, and Pushan, and Bhaga, and Aryaman, and Ansa, and Vivaswat, and Rudra of great intelligence, and Mitra, and the eleven Rudras, the eight Vasus, the twelve Adityas, the twin Ashvinis, the Viswedevas, the Maruts, the Saddhyas, the Pitris, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, the Pannagas, innumerable celestial Rishis, the Vaikhanasas, the Valakhilyas, those others among Rishis that subsist only on air and those that subsist on the rays of the Sun, the descendants of Bhrigu and Angiras, many high-souled Yatis, all the Vidyadharas, all those that were crowned with ascetic success, the Grandsire, Pulastya, Pulaha of great ascetic merits, Angiras, Kasyapa, Atri, Marichi, Bhrigu, Kratu, Hara, Prachetas, Manu, Daksha, the Seasons, the Planets, and all the luminaries; O monarch, all the rivers in their embodied forms, the eternal Vedas, the Seas, the diverse tirthas, the Earth, the Sky, the Cardinal and Subsidiary points of the compass, and all the Trees, O king, Aditi the mother of the gods, Hri, Sri, Swaha, Sarasvati, Uma, Sachi, Sinivali, Anumati, Kuhu, the Day of the new moon, the Day of the full Moon, the wives of the denizens of heaven, Himavat, Vindhya, Meru of many summits, Airavat with all his followers, the Divisions of time called Kala, Kashtha, Fortnight, the Seasons, Night, and Day, O king, the prince of steeds, Ucchaisravas, Vasuki the king of the Snakes, Aruna, Garuda, the Trees, the deciduous herbs, and the adorable god Dharma, all came there together. |
Mbh.9.44.3267 | Uma gave him two pieces of cloth of effulgence like that of the Sun. |
Mbh.9.54.3871 | Rahu swallowed the Sun most untimely, O monarch! |
Mbh.9.58.4177 | Those two foremost heroes of Yadu's race, the one dark in complexion and the other fair, looked exceedingly beautiful at that moment, like the Sun and the Moon, O king, on the evening sky! |
Mbh.10.1.34 | The Sun then reached the Asta mountains, and Night, the mother of the universe, came. |
Mbh.10.6.316 | He there beheld a being of gigantic frame, capable of making the very hair stand on end, and possessed of the effulgence of the Sun or the Moon, guarding the entrance. |
Mbh.10.6.333 | That dart of blazing point, striking against that being, broke into pieces like a huge meteor at the end of the yuga breaking and falling down from the firmament after striking against the Sun. |
Mbh.10.11.806 | Her face, adorned with eyes resembling a couple of full-blown lotuses, seemed to be darkened by grief like the Sun himself when enveloped in darkness. |
Mbh.11.20.863 | Scorched by the Sun, and worn out with exertion and toil, their faces have become colourless and pale. |
Mbh.11.23.925 | Behold the son of Shantanu, O Krishna, that warrior of solar effulgence, stretched on the earth, like the Sun himself fallen from the firmament at the end of the yuga. |
Mbh.11.23.926 | Having scorched his foes with the fire of his weapons in battle, that valiant warrior, that Sun among men, O Keshava, hath set like the real Sun at evening. |
Mbh.11.25.1003 | Although tired with exertion and worn out with heat, yet beauty leaves not their forms, like the sightliness of the wreaths worn by the celestials although exposed to the Sun. |
Mbh.11.25.1010 | The faces of those beautiful ladies, O Madhava, through toil and the rays of the Sun, are looking like faded lotuses. |
Mbh.12.11.459 | The seasons measured by half the months lead to the Sun, the Moon, or the Stars |
Mbh.12.25.1103 | If the Time does not come, the Sun does not appear above the horizon, nor, when the Time for it does not come, does he repair to the Asta hills. |
Mbh.12.26.1161 | By performing those acts, O Dhananjaya, that are indicated in the Vedas, viz, battle, study of the Vedas, sacrifices, the restraint of passion that is so difficult, one goes to heaven by the southern path of the Sun Dakshinayana. |
Mbh.12.29.1471 | The whole earth from where the Sun rises to where he sets is said to be the field of Mandhatri. |
Mbh.12.43.2172 | Thou art the great Boar, thou art Fire, thou art the Sun, thou hast the bull for the device on thy banner, and thou hast Garuda also as thy device. |
Mbh.12.45.2231 | His bosom adorned with the Kaustubha gem, he looked like the Udaya mountain that decked the rising Sun. |
Mbh.12.47.2292 | As soon as the Sun, passing the solstitial point, entered in his northerly course, Bhishma, with concentrated attention, caused his soul as connected with and independent of the body to enter his soul in its independent and absolute state. |
Mbh.12.47.2363 | Salutations to thee that art the soul of the Sun. |
Mbh.12.47.2452 | The Sun is thy eye. |
Mbh.12.47.2510 | The directions are thy arms, the Sun is thy eye, and prowess is thy vital fluid. |
Mbh.12.50.2735 | The points of the compass are thy two arms, and the Sun is thy eye, and Sakra constitutes thy prowess. |
Mbh.12.51.2797 | Gladdening that great host, the divine Chandramas rose before it in the firmament, once more inspiring with moisture, by his own force, the terrestrial herbs and plants whose juice had been sucked up by the Sun. |
Mbh.12.52.2832 | Overcome with fear, the king timidly cast his eyes on the mighty-armed hero lying on his bed of arrows like the Sun himself dropped from the firmament |
Mbh.12.53.2836 | Those high-souled persons, approaching the grandsire of the Bharatas who looked like the Sun himself dropped from the firmament, indulged in lamentations for him. |
Mbh.12.53.2837 | Then Narada of godlike features reflecting for a short while, addressed all the Pandavas and the unslain remnant of the kings saying, The time, I think, has come for you to question Bhishma on subject of morality and religion, for Ganga's son is about to expire like the Sun that is on the point of setting. |
Mbh.12.55.2927 | As the Sun, rising, dispels inauspicious darkness, so this science destroys every kind of evil consequence in respect of the world. |
Mbh.12.55.2978 | He should be like the vernal Sun, neither cold nor so hot as to produce perspiration. |
Mbh.12.66.3696 | Like the Sun scorching everything with his rays, go out for winning victories. |
Mbh.12.99.5546 | As means for ensuing victory the wind is superior to the Sun, and the Sun is superior to Sukra, O Yudhishthira. |
Mbh.12.119.6696 | Like the Sun shedding his rays upon everything below, the king should always look after his kingdom himself, and aided by his intelligence he should supervise all his spies and officers. |
Mbh.12.152.9067 | At this hour when men are about to close their daily toil, the Sun is retiring to the Asta hills. |
Mbh.12.181.10948 | Agni and Soma, otherwise called the Sun and the Moon, are called his eyes. |
Mbh.12.181.10962 | The Sun and the Moon cannot see, above or below, beyond the range of their own rays. |
Mbh.12.181.10963 | There where the rays of the Sun and the Moon cannot reach are luminaries which are self-effulgent and which possess splendour like that of the Sun or the fire. |
Mbh.12.187.11244 | Possessed of splendour equal to that of the fire or the Sun, they were created out of the energy of that First-born Being. |
Mbh.12.190.11378 | He should worship the morning and evening twilights, the Sun, his own sacred fire, and the deities. |
Mbh.12.192.11511 | One should never behold the Sun at the moment of rising, nor should one turn one's gaze towards a naked woman that is another man's spouse. |
Mbh.12.198.11951 | It is by Truth that the Sun gives heat. |
Mbh.12.203.12336 | The Sun rising diffuses his rays. |
Mbh.12.205.12462 | The Sun, spreading his rays, becomes the possessor of an attribute, viz, the lighter of the world: withdrawing his rays at the hour of setting, he once more becomes an object divested of attributes. |
Mbh.12.214.12987 | By doing so, Brahma gradually shines in one like the Sun. |
Mbh.12.217.13163 | The stone called Suryakanta, coming in contact with the rays of the Sun, produces fire. |
Mbh.12.224.13699 | Vali said, At present the Sun shines as much in the east as in the west, and as much in the north as in the south. |
Mbh.12.224.13700 | When, however, the Sun, withdrawing himself from all sides, will shine only upon the region of Brahman situated in the middle of Sumeru, then will again occur a great battle between the gods and the Asuras, and in that fight I shall certainly vanquish all of you. |
Mbh.12.224.13701 | When the Sun, withdrawing himself from all sides, will shine fixedly upon only the region of Brahman, then will again occur a great battle between the gods and the Asuras, and in that fight I shall surely conquer all of you |
Mbh.12.224.13706 | No time will come when the Sun will shine from only the meridian. |
Mbh.12.227.13999 | While sitting there they beheld the rising Sun casting his thousand rays right before him. |
Mbh.12.227.14042 | The Sun never rose upon them while they lay asleep. |
Mbh.12.232.14434 | Dazzling flames of fire, ablaze all around, conceal the Sun that is in the centre of space. |
Mbh.12.239.14809 | When these the mind for their sixth become concentrated in the knowledge, and thus concentrated remain steady and untroubled, then Brahma becomes perceptible like a smokeless fire of blazing flames or the Sun of effulgent radiance. |
Mbh.12.245.15153 | The Sun and the Moon are thy two seated before thee! |
Mbh.12.250.15370 | Like the Sun dispelling darkness, felicity dispels the sorrows of that Yogin who transcends both the gross and the subtile elements, as also Mahat and the Unmanifest |
Mbh.12.252.15400 | As the rays of the Sun that course in dense masses through every part of the firmament are incapable of being seen by the naked eye though their existence is capable of being inferred by reason, after the same manner, existent beings freed from gross bodies and wandering in the universe are beyond the ken of human vision |
Mbh.12.252.15401 | As the effulgent disc of the Sun is beheld in the water in a counter-image, after the same manner the Yogin beholds within gross bodies the existent self in its counter-image |
Mbh.12.260.15783 | He, then, bathed in a stream and poured libations on the sacred fire, and paid his adorations to the rising Sun indeed, having thus caused those chataka birds to grow on his head, Jajali, that foremost of ascetics, began to slap his armpits and proclaim loudly through the sky, I have won great merit' |
Mbh.12.262.15926 | The libations poured on the sacrificial fire rise up to the Sun. |
Mbh.12.262.15927 | From the Sun springs rain. |
Mbh.12.277.16969 | One should abstain from injuring any creature, and conduct oneself observing the course of the Sun |
Mbh.12.279.17103 | The light of His eye is the Sun, and His mind is in the Moon. |
Mbh.12.282.17397 | It hath been heard by us that the high-souled deities, with the permission o f Mahadeva, mounted their celestial cars resembling the fire or the Sun in splendour, and proceeded to that spot on the Himavat whence the Ganges is said to issue. |
Mbh.12.283.17524 | The Sun became dimmed. |
Mbh.12.284.17589 | The utterers of the Gayatri sing thy praises in uttering the Gayatri, and the worshippers of the Sun adore thee in adoring the Sun. |
Mbh.12.284.17643 | Salutations to thee that art of the form of the rising Sun, and that art of the form of a child, that art the protector of attendants all of whom are of the form of children and that art, besides, of the form of children's toys. |
Mbh.12.284.17663 | Salutations to thee that hast matted locks as effulgent as the Sun or the Fire, and that hast barks and skins for thy attire. |
Mbh.12.284.17696 | Thou art Green, thou art Red, thou art Blue, thou art Dark, thou art of Bloody hue, thou art of the colour of the Sun, thou art Tawny, thou art Brown, and thou art Dark blue |
Mbh.12.284.17700 | Thou art the Eclipse, thou art the Fire called Chitrabhanu, thou art Rahu, and thou art the Sun. |
Mbh.12.284.17786 | The Sun and the Moon are thy two eyes, and the Grandsire is thy heart. |
Mbh.12.284.17811 | I bow repeatedly unto them that dwell in the space amidst the Sun and the Moon, as also in rays of the Sun and the Moon, and them that dwell in the nether regions, and them that have betaken themselves to Renunciation and other superior practices for the sake of the Supreme |
Mbh.12.287.18039 | Similarly, the effulgent Sun scatters his splendours in the firmament in perfect silence. |
Mbh.12.287.18045 | As the Sun shows his fiery form in the gem called Suryakanta, even so the multitude of words, of little sense, that fools filled with vanity utter, display only the meanness of their hearts. |
Mbh.12.293.18322 | As in the Eastern hills, jewels and metals blaze with greater splendour in consequence of their adjacence to the Sun, even so the lowest order blazes with splendour in consequence of their association with the good. |
Mbh.12.297.18567 | That man is regarded as righteous who meets with dissolution when the Sun is in the northern declension, and at a time and under a constellation both of which are sacred and auspicious. |
Mbh.12.297.18573 | The lives of the righteous, O king, piercing through the Sun, ascend into the regions of Brahma. |
Mbh.12.298.18616 | As the pure gem called Suryakanta absorbs and attracts to itself, the rays of the Sun, even so, O tiger among kings, does Yoga proceed by help of concentrated attention |
Mbh.12.298.18666 | As the rays of light never abandon the Sun, even so prosperity never abandons one who is endued with undoubting faith. |
Mbh.12.300.18810 | After the same manner, the Yogin, when grown in strength, burning with energy, and possessed of might, is capable of scorching the entire Universe like the Sun that rises at the time of the universal dissolution. |
Mbh.12.300.18817 | Some amongst them enjoy objects of the senses and then once more set themselves to the practice of the austerest penances, and once again, like the Sun withdrawing his rays, withdraw themselves from such penances |
Mbh.12.300.18824 | As a man fixing his mind on a vessel full of some liquid placed on his head heedfully ascends a flight of steps, even so the Yogin, fixed and absorbed in his soul, cleanses it and makes it as effulgent as the Sun. |
Mbh.12.301.18864 | O foremost of eloquent men, about what is called felicity here, having a clear knowledge of what the sorrows are that overtake when the hour comes all those that are concerned with transitory objects and knowing full well the sorrows of those that have fallen into the intermediate orders of being and of those that have sunk into hell, perceiving all the merits and all the faults of heaven, O Bharta, and all the demerits that attach to the declarations of the Vedas and all the excellencies that are connected with them recognising the faults and merits of the Yoga and the Sankhya systems of philosophy, realizing also that the quality of Sattwa has ten properties, that of Rajas has nine, and that of Tamas has eight, that the Understanding has seven properties, the Mind has six, and Space has five, and once more conceiving that the Understanding has four properties and Tamas has three, and the Rajas has two and Sattwa has, one, and truly apprehending the path that is followed by all objects when destruction overtakes them and what the course is of self knowledge, the Sankhyas, possessed of knowledge and experience and exalted by their perceptions of causes, and acquiring thorough auspiciousness, attain to the felicity of Emancipation like the rays of the Sun, or the Wind taking refuge in Space |
Mbh.12.301.18878 | Knowing that this body, that is endued with six and ten possessions, is the result of the quality of Sattwa, understanding fully the nature of the physical organism and the character of the Chetana that dwells within it, recognising the one existent Being that live in the body viz, the Soul, which stands aloof from every concern of the body and in which no sin can attach, realising the nature of that second object, viz; the acts of persons attached to the objects of the senses, understanding also the character of the senses and the sensual objects which have their refuge in the Soul, appreciating the difficulty of Emancipation and the scriptures that bear upon it knowing fully the nature of the vital breaths called Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana, and Udana, as also the two other breaths, viz, the one going downward and the other moving upward indeed, knowing those seven breaths ordained to accomplish seven different functions, ascertaining the nature of the Prajapatis and the Rishis and the high paths, many in number, of virtue or righteousness, and the seven Rishis and the innumerable royal Rishis, O scorcher of foes, and the great celestial Rishis and the other regenerate Rishis endued with the effulgence of the Sun, beholding all these falling away from their puissance in course of many long ages, O monarch, hearing of the destruction of even of all the mighty beings in the universe, understanding also the inauspicious end that is attained, O king, by creatures of sinful acts, and the miseries endured by those that fall into the river Vaitarani in the realms of Yama, and the inauspicious wanderings of creatures through diverse wombs, and the character of their residence in the unholy uterus in the midst of blood and water and phlegm and urine and faeces, all of foul smell, and then in bodies that result from the union of blood and the vital seed, of marrow and sinews, abounding with hundreds of nerves and arteries and forming an impure mansion of nine doors, comprehending also what is for his own good what those divers combinations are which are productive of good beholding the abominable conduct of creatures whose natures are characterised by Darkness or Passion or Goodness, O chief of Bharata's race, conduct that is reprehended, in view of its incapacity to acquire Emancipation, by the followers of the Sankhya doctrine who are fully conversant with the Soul, beholding the swallowing up of the Moon and the Sun by Rahu, the falling of stars from their fixed positions and the diversions of constellations from their orbits, knowing the sad separation of all united objects and the diabolical behaviour of creatures in devouring one another, seeing the absence of all intelligence in the infancy of human beings and the deterioration and destruction of the body, marking the little attachment creatures have to the quality of Sattwa in consequence of their being overwhelmed by wrath and stupefaction, beholding also only one among thousands of human beings resolved to struggle after the acquisition of Emancipation, understanding the difficulty of attaining to Emancipation according to what is stated in the scriptures, seeing the marked solicitude that creatures manifest for all unattained objects and their comparative indifference to all objects that have been attained marking the wickedness that results from all objects of the senses O king and the repulsive bodies, O son of Kunti, of persons reft of life, and the residence, always fraught with grief, of human beings, O Bharata, in houses in the midst of spouses and children, knowing the end of those terrible and fallen men who become guilty of slaying Brahmanas, and of those wicked Brahmanas that are addicted to the drinking of alcoholic stimulants, and the equally sad end of those that become criminally attached to the spouses of their preceptors, and of those men, O Yudhishthira, that do not properly reverence their mothers, as also of those that have no reverence and worship to offer to the deities, understanding also, with the help of that knowledge which their philosophy imparts, the end that of all perpetrators of wicked acts, and the diverse ends that overtake those who have taken birth among the intermediate orders, ascertaining the diverse declarations of the Vedas, the courses of seasons, the fading of years, of months, of fortnights, and of days, beholding directly the waxing and the waning of the Moon, seeing the rising and the ebbing of the seas, and the diminution of wealth and its increase once more, and the separation of united objects, the lapse of Yugas, the destruction of mountains, the drying up of rivers, the deterioration of the purity of the several orders and the end also of that deterioration occurring repeatedly, beholding the birth, decrepitude, death, and sorrows of creatures, knowing truly the faults attaching to the body and the sorrows to which human beings are subject, and the vicissitudes to which the bodies of creatures are subject, and understanding all the faults that attach to their own souls, and also all the inauspicious faults that attach to their own bodies the followers of the Sankhya philosophy succeed in attaining to Emancipation. |
Mbh.12.302.19001 | When the Sun turns from the southern path for entering into the northern, thou shalt attain to thy high end. |
Mbh.12.302.19008 | Once on a time when that foremost of Rishis, viz, Vasishtha, endued with the effulgence of the Sun, was seated at his ease, king Janaka asked him about that highest knowledge which is for our supreme good. |
Mbh.12.303.19096 | When the time approaches for universal Destruction, all existent objects and attributes are withdrawn by the Supreme Soul which then exists alone like the Sun withdrawing at evening all his rays; and when the time comes for Creation He once more creates and spreads them out like the Sun shedding and spreading out his rays when morning comes. |
Mbh.12.306.19241 | While in Yoga, the Supreme Soul displays itself in the Yogin's heart like a blazing fire, or like the bright Sun, or like the lightning's flame in the sky. |
Mbh.12.318.19806 | Then shining in the midst of my disciples like the Sun himself with his rays, I took the management of the Sacrifice of thy high-souled sire, O king. |
Mbh.12.318.19831 | What is he that devours the Sun and what is the Sun? |
Mbh.12.321.20470 | Even here, the god of Fire, the Sun and the Wind, these three reside in the body. |
Mbh.12.325.20679 | The heat of the Sun had not scorched or pained or distressed him in any degree. |
Mbh.12.325.20680 | Among those porters there was one who felt compassion for him, beholding him staying there like the midday Sun in his effulgence. |
Mbh.12.328.20934 | Obstructed by that wind from a distance, the Sun, which is really the source of a thousand rays, and which enlightens the world, appears as a luminous body of but one ray. |
Mbh.12.331.21130 | Rising and setting day after day, the Sun, who is himself undecaying, is continually cooking the joys and sorrows of all men. |
Mbh.12.331.21206 | The Sun warms all the worlds by means of his fierce rays. |
Mbh.12.331.21209 | Hence, I desire to go into the Sun of blazing effulgence |
Mbh.12.331.21211 | With the great Rishis I shall enter the unbearable energy of the Sun. |
Mbh.12.332.21223 | Then when the Sun had not risen long, Suka sat, with his face turned Eastwards, and hands and feet drawn in, in an humble attitude. |
Mbh.12.332.21237 | Endued with the splendour of fire or the Sun, Suka then regarded the three worlds in their entirety as one homogenous Brahma, and proceeded along that path of great length. |
Mbh.12.335.21446 | With those tongues they seem to lick the very Sun whose face is turned towards every direction. |
Mbh.12.337.21651 | At this answer, all the Rishis, endued with the splendour of the Sun, became very angry. |
Mbh.12.338.21695 | Thou art he who is divested of all attributes, who is the Witness of all the worlds, who is called Kshetrajna, who is the foremost of all Beings, who is Infinite, who is called Purusha, who is the great Purusha, who is the foremost of all Purushas, who is the soul of the three attributes, who is called the Foremost, who is Amrita nectar, who is called Immortal, who is called Ananta Sesha, who is Space who is without beginning, who is both Manifest and Unmanifest as existent and not-existent things, who is said to have his home in Truth who is the first of gods Narayana, who is the giver of wealth or of the fruits of acts, identified with Daksha and other Lords of the Creation, who is the Aswattha and other big trees, who is the four-headed Brahman, who is the Lord of all created Beings, who is the Lord of Speech who is the Lord of the universe or Indra, who is the all-pervading Soul, who is the Sun, who is the breath called Prana, who is the Lord of the waters viz, Varuna, who is identifiable with the Emperor or the King, who is identifiable with the Regents of the several points of the compass, who is the refuge of the universe when it is dissolved in the final destruction who is Undisplayed unrevealed, who is the giver of the Vedas unto Brahman, who is identifiable with the sacrifices and Vedic studies achieved by Brahmanas with the aid of their bodies, who is identifiable with the four principal orders of the deities, who is every one of those four orders, who is possessed of effulgence, who is possessed of great effulgence, who is he unto whom the seven largest offerings in sacrifices are presented with the Gayatri and other sacred mantras, who is Yama, who is Chitragupta and the other attendants of Yama, who is called the wife of Yama, who is that order of the deities called Tushita, who is that other order called Mahatushita, who is the universal grinder Death, who is desire and all diseases that have been created for aiding the advent of Death, who is health and freedom from disease, who is subject to desire and passions, who is free from the influence of desire and passions, who is Infinite as exhibited in species and forms, who is he that is chastised, who is he that is the chastiser, who is all the lesser sacrifices like Agnihotra and others, who is all the larger sacrifices like those called Brahma, etc, |
Mbh.12.338.21709 | Thou art the Sun. |
Mbh.12.339.21925 | Then, again, as Time, endued with immeasurable energy, forcibly brings back the Sun after his disappearance, after the same manner I shall, assuming the form of boar and putting forth my strength, bring back the Earth with her belt of seas to her own position for the good of all creatures when she becomes submerged in water. |
Mbh.12.340.22103 | The deities and the Rishis and Brahman, in that sacrifice, adored the great God as one endued with the complexion of the Sun, as the foremost of Beings, situate beyond the reach of Tamas, vast, pervading all things, the Supreme Lord of all, the giver of boons, and possessed of puissance. |
Mbh.12.340.22191 | Bow unto Him who is called Kaparddin Rudra, who is the Great Boar, who is Unicorn, and who is possessed of great intelligence: who is the Sun, who assumed the well-known form with the equine head; and who is always displayed in a four-fold form. |
Mbh.12.341.22295 | Assuming the form of the Sun I cover the universe with my rays. |
Mbh.12.341.22308 | The rays that emanate from the Sun who gives heat to the world, from the blazing fire, and from the Moon, constitute my hair. |
Mbh.12.342.22589 | Each of them, viz, the Sun and the Moon, invigorate and warm the universe respectively. |
Mbh.12.342.22590 | And because of the Sun and the Moon thus warming and invigorating the universe, they have come to be regarded as the Harsha joy of the universe. |
Mbh.12.343.22773 | And in consequence of the effulgence with which they illumined the world they seemed to transcend the very Sun in energy. |
Mbh.12.343.22820 | That realm where he resides, engaged in tie austerest penances, the Sun does not warm and the Moon does not shine. |
Mbh.12.344.22842 | It attaches itself to the sun in consequence of which the Sun becomes able to shine and give heat. |
Mbh.12.346.22969 | Endued with the complexion of the Sun, He is the Supreme Lord, and he is the refuge of all. |
Mbh.12.347.23021 | In the primeval Lotus that was endued with the effulgence of the Sun, two drops of water had been cast by Narayana that were fraught with great merit. |
Mbh.12.347.23088 | His locks of hair were long and flowing, and had the splendour of the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.12.347.23093 | The Sun and the Moon became his two eyes. |
Mbh.12.349.23401 | He whom learned Brahmanas call the mind-born son of the Grandsire, viz, Vasishtha endued with great intelligence and like unto an ocean of penances, and whose splendour transcends that of the Sun himself, will be the progenitor of a race in which a great Rishi of the name of Parasara, possessed of mighty energy and prowess, will take his birth. |
Mbh.12.351.23518 | The Sun is one and single, but his rays extend over the wide universe. |
Mbh.13.2.174 | The divine carrier of oblations, resplendent as the autumnal Sun, appeared before them, enveloping his self in glorious refulgence. |
Mbh.13.6.390 | the luminous bodies in the firmament, all the deities, the Nagas, and the Rakshasas, as also the Sun and the Moon and the Winds, have attained to their high status by evolution from man's status, through dint of their own action. |
Mbh.13.14.1181 | What person in the universe can obtain tranquillity, without gratifying Rudra that is freed from decripitude and death, that is endued with the effulgence of the Sun, the Moon, or the fire, that is the root or original cause of everything real and unreal in the three worlds, and that exists as one and indivisible entity? |
Mbh.13.14.1200 | The different points of the horizon, Time, the Sun, all fiery entities, planets, wind, water, and the stars and constellations, these, know thou, are from Mahadeva. |
Mbh.13.14.1367 | Salutations to thee that art of the complexion of the Sun, to thee that art like the Sun, to thee whose face is like the Sun, to thee that hast eyes each of which is like the Sun. |
Mbh.13.14.1380 | Salutations to thee that hast the Sun, the Moon, and Agni for thy three eyes, to thee that art possessed of a thousand eyes, to thee that art both male and female, to thee that art divested of sex, to thee that art a Sankhya, to thee that art a Yogin. |
Mbh.13.14.1400 | Thou art the Sun among all things in the world, thou art the destroyer called Kala. |
Mbh.13.14.1496 | The appearance seemed to be like that of the Sun in the midst of racking clouds with the Moon by his side. |
Mbh.13.14.1507 | Surrounded by diverse clans of spirits and ghosts, he looked like the autumnal Sun difficult of being gazed at for its dazzling brightness. |
Mbh.13.14.1536 | Thou art the Unmanifest, thou art Pavana, thou art inconceivable, thou art the thousand-rayed Sun, thou art the effulgent Chit, thou art the first of all the topics, and thou art the refuge of life |
Mbh.13.14.1542 | Of all acts that are performed in the Nimeshas and other divisions of time that spring in consequence of the puissance of the Sun, thou art the fruit |
Mbh.13.17.2617 | Thou art he who has three eyes in the forms of the Sun, the Moon, and Fire. |
Mbh.13.18.2789 | That dispeller of all sorrows, viz, the destroyer of the triple city of the Asuras, said unto me, Thy fame shall be great in the world, Then Jamadagni's son, that foremost of all righteous persons, shining like the Sun with blazing splendour in the midst of that conclave of Rishis, said unto the son of Kunti these words, I was afflicted with the sin, O eldest son of Pandu, of Brahmanicide for having slain my brothers who were all learned Brahmanas. |
Mbh.13.18.2870 | Vasudeva said, Upamanyu, who seemed to blaze with effulgence like the Sun, said unto me, Those sinful men that are stained with unrighteous deeds, do not succeed in attaining to Isana. |
Mbh.13.19.3089 | The lady then addressed him, saying, O illustrious one, behold the aspect of the Sun reddened by the evening clouds. |
Mbh.13.20.3103 | He saw the Sun risen above the horizon on the East. |
Mbh.13.26.3521 | They then with cheerful souls waited upon the son of Ganga, even as Brahmanas versed in Mantras wait with reverence upon the rising Sun. |
Mbh.13.26.3543 | Even as the Sun, when he rises at the dawn of day, blazes forth in splendour, having dispelled the gloom of night, after the same manner the person that has bathed in the waters of Ganga is seen to shine in splendour, cleansed of all his sins. |
Mbh.13.26.3546 | Without doubt, countries and points of the compass that are without Ganga are like the firmament without the Sun, or the Earth without mountains, or the welkin without air. |
Mbh.13.26.3563 | As the deities support themselves upon the Amrita that occurs in the Sun and the Moon and that is offered in diverse sacrifices, even so do human beings support themselves upon Ganga water. |
Mbh.13.26.3565 | He who bears on his head the mud taken from the banks of Ganga presents an effulgent aspect equal to that of Sun himself bent on dispelling the surrounding darkness. |
Mbh.13.26.3596 | Men who are washed by the bright, beautiful, high, and rapidly moving waves, raised by the wind, of Ganga, became cleansed of all their sins and resemble in splendour the Sun with his thousand rays. |
Mbh.13.63.6154 | The lord of the life-breaths, viz, the deity of wind, places above the clouds the water sucked up by the Sun. |
Mbh.13.63.6156 | The Sun, by means of his rays, sucks up the moisture of the earth. |
Mbh.13.63.6157 | The deity of wind causes the moisture to fall down from the Sun |
Mbh.13.63.6163 | Thus from food, the Sun and the deity of wind and the vital seed spring and act. |
Mbh.13.77.7037 | Like the Sun tingeing masses of clouds with diverse colours the energy that issued from the third eye of Mahadeva produced, O monarch, diverse complexion in those kine. |
Mbh.13.81.7246 | The streams that run there shine in resplendence for the red lotuses blooming upon their bosoms, and for the jewels and gems and gold that occur in their banks and that display the effulgence of the morning Sun. |
Mbh.13.85.7727 | With the splendour of that foetus everything around it seemed to be transformed into gold even as all things on mountain and low land seem to be transformed into gold by the rays of the Sun. |
Mbh.13.102.9116 | Gautama said, Next to these blaze in beauty other regions that are eternal, free from passion and darkness and sorrow, and that lie at the foot of the high-souled deity of the Sun. |
Mbh.13.107.9808 | As long as the Sun and the Moon move in firmament, so long does that man of wisdom reside in those regions of felicity, subsisting upon the succulence of ambrosia and nectar. |
Mbh.13.125.10920 | Such a man blazes with energy like the Sun or shines in beauty like the Moon' |
Mbh.13.125.10925 | The Sun, Wind, the bearer of sacrificial oblations, O Vasava, and kine who are the mothers of all creatures, were created by the Self born himself, for rescuing all the worlds, O Sakra! |
Mbh.13.146.12219 | She who does not cast her eyes upon the Moon or the Sun or a tree that has a masculine name, who is adored by her husband and who is possessed of beautiful features, is regarded as truly righteous. |
Mbh.13.149.12531 | He whose acts are never futile, He that cleanses those that worship Him, those that hear of Him and those that think of Him, He that is endued with pre-eminent energy and strength, He that transcends Indra in all attributes, He that accepts all His worshippers, He that is the Creation itself in consequence of His being the Causes thereof, He that upholds His self in the same form without being ever subject to birth, growth, or death, He that sustains all creatures in their respective functions in the universe, He that controls the hearts of all creatures CLI, CLXII;
