See All Nouns, See All Categories

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; He that deserves to be known by those who wish to achieve what is for their highest good; He who is the celestial physician in the form of Dhanwantari, or He who cures that foremost of all diseases, viz, the bonds that bind one to the world; He that is always engaged in Yoga; He that slays great Asuras for establishing Righteousness; He that is the Lord of that Lakshmi who sprang from the ocean when it was churned by the deities and the Asuras, or, He that cherishes both the goddesses of prosperity and learning; He that is honey in consequence of the pleasure He gives to those that succeed in having a taste of him; He that transcends the senses or is invisible to those that turn away from Him; He that is possessed of great powers of illusion manifested in His beguiling Mahadeva and the deities on many occasions; He that puts forth great energy in achieving mighty feats; He that transcends all in might CLXIII, CLXXII; He that transcends all in intelligence; He that transcends all in puissance; He that transcends all in ability;

Mbh.13.152.12787 Riding then on his car whose splendour resembled that of fire or the Sun, the monarch, blinded by his great prowess, said, Who, indeed, is there that can be regarded as my equal in patience and energy, in fame and heroism, in prowess and strength'
Mbh.13.152.12823 Or, is he like Water, or Fire, or the Sun, or the Firmament
Mbh.13.158.13208 The Moon and the Sun, the Planets, the Constellations, and the Stars, all the Parva days, including the day of the full moon, the conjunctions of the constellations and the seasons, have, O son of Pritha, flowed from this Krishna who is Vishwaksena.
Mbh.14.19.676 Thinking of that point of the compass which has the Sun behind it, the mind should be fixed, not outside, but in the interior of that mansion in which one may happen to live.
Mbh.14.21.768 The points of the compass, Quarters, Wind, Sun, Moon, Earth, Fire, Vishnu, Indra, Prajapati, and Mitra, these, O beautiful one, are the ten sacrificial fires.
Mbh.14.32.1276 Like the planet Rahu overwhelming the Sun, a cloudedness of understanding suddenly overwhelmed that king of immeasurable energy as he sat plunged in thought.
Mbh.14.39.1554 The Sun is Goodness developed, men of evil deeds represent Darkness; the heat which travellers on their way feel is said to be a quality of Passion.
Mbh.14.46.1943 He should move about the world like a worm, his path pointed out by the Sun.
Mbh.14.77.3357 Seeing the son of Kunti thus afflicted with shafts, cries of Oh and Alas were uttered by the three worlds and the Sun himself became shorn of his splendour.
Mbh.14.77.3358 Then, O king, a terrible wind began to blow, and Rahu swallowed up both the Sun and the Moon at the same time.

Mbh.18.6.366 Ascending a celestial car that resembles the summit of the Kailasa mountains in beauty, that is equipt with an altar made of stones of lapis lazuli and other precious gems, that is surrounded by beautiful objects of diverse kinds, that is decked with gems and corals, that moves at the will of the rider, and that teems with waiting Apsaras, he roves through all the regions of felicity, like a second deity of the Sun.
