Surya - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.16.1320	O Brahmana, even he is the charioteer of Surya, always seen in the hour of morning!
Mbh.1.19.1402	And when the Amrita had reached Rahu's throat only, Surya and Soma recognised him and intimated the fact to the gods.
Mbh.1.19.1406	And from that time there is a long-standing quarrel between Rahu's head and Surya and Soma.
Mbh.1.19.1407	And to this day it swalloweth Surya and Soma during solar and lunar eclipses.
Mbh.1.23.1510	Thou art pure knowledge; thou displayest to us, as Surya does by his rays, this animate and inanimate universe; thou darkenest the splendour of Surya at every moment, and thou art the destroyer of all; thou art all that is perishable and all that is imperishable.
Mbh.1.23.1511	O thou resplendent as Agni, thou burnest all even as Surya in his anger burneth all creatures.
Mbh.1.24.1531	And he placed Aruna of great splendour in the eastern regions, just at a time when Surya had resolved to burn the worlds with his fierce rays'
Mbh.1.24.1532	Saunaka said, When did the revered Surya resolve at the time to burn the worlds?
Mbh.1.24.1534	Sauti said, O sinless one, when Rahu was drinking nectar among the gods at the time of the churning of the ocean he was pointed out to the gods by Surya and Soma, and from that time he conceived an enmity towards those deities.
Mbh.1.24.1535	And upon this Rahu sought to devour his afflictor Surya, became wroth, and thought, Oh, this enmity of Rahu towards me hath sprung from my desire of benefiting the gods.
Mbh.1.24.1544	Surya hath not yet risen, still the destruction of the world is obvious.
Mbh.1.24.1546	The Grandsire replied, Indeed, Surya is prepared to rise today for the destruction of the world.
Mbh.1.24.1550	He is huge of body and of great splendour; he shall stay in front of Surya, doing the duty of his charioteer and taking away all the energy of the former.
Mbh.1.24.1553	And Surya rose veiled by Aruna's person.
Mbh.1.24.1554	I have told thee now why Surya was in wrath, and how Aruna, the brother of Garuda, was appointed as his charioteer.
Mbh.1.28.1646	O sinless one, neither Agni nor Surya truly can consume so much as does a Brahmana of rigid vows, when angry.
Mbh.1.28.1657	Let Marut the god of the winds protect thy wings, and Surya and Soma thy vertebral regions; let Agni protect thy head, and the Vasus thy whole body.
Mbh.1.63.3158	And the Suta was born of Kunti in her maidenhood through Surya.
Mbh.1.65.3277	The eldest of them all was Viprachitti of great fame Samvara, and Namuchi and Pauloman; Asiloman, and Kesi and Durjaya; Ayahsiras, Aswasiras, and the powerful Aswasanku; also Gaganamardhan, and Vegavat, and he called Ketumat; Swarbhanu, Aswa, Aswapati, Vrishaparvan, and then Ajaka; and Aswagriva, and Sukshama, and Tuhunda of great strength, Ekapada, and Ekachakra, Virupaksha, Mahodara, and Nichandra, and Nikumbha, Kupata, and then Kapata; Sarabha, and Sulabha, Surya, and then Chandramas; these in the race of Danu are stated to be well-known.
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.1.66.3319	And the sons of Kratu, sacred as sacrifices, are the companions of Surya, the Valikhilyas, known in three worlds and devoted to truth and vows.
Mbh.1.67.3484	The great Asura of handsome features known by the name of Surya, became on earth the monarch of the Valhikas by name Darada, that foremost of all kings.
Mbh.1.67.3558	Thus addressed, the girl a little while after, seized with curiosity, summoned, during the period of her maiden-hood, the god Surya.
Mbh.1.67.3572	And the son of Surya was at first known in the world by the name of Vasusena.
Mbh.1.74.3919	Yama, the son of Surya, takes no account of the sins of him with whom Narayana the witness of all acts, is gratified.
Mbh.1.75.4108	SECTION LXXV Sambhava Parva continued Vaisampayana said, Hear now, as I recite the recorded genealogy, that is sacred and subservient to religion, profit and pleasure, of these royal sages, Daksha, the lord of creation, Manu, the son of Surya, Bharata, Ruru, Puru, and Ajamidha.
Mbh.1.88.4871	Beholding thee in the path of the celestials, possessed of energy like that of Sakra, or Surya, or Vishnu, we have approached thee to ascertain the truth.
Mbh.1.94.5197	Samvarana begat upon his wife, Tapati, the daughter of Surya, a son named Kuru.
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.1.111.6120	Surya Sun replied, I know that Durvasa hath granted this boon.
Mbh.1.111.6141	The son of Surya was before this known by the name of Vasusena.
Mbh.1.115.6237	Gandhari, without endeavouring to disguise her feelings, addressed the Rishi and said, Having heard that Kunti had brought forth a son like unto Surya in splendour, I struck in grief at my womb.
Mbh.1.173.8856	At that time, O son of Kunti, Riksha's son, that bull amongst the Kurus, the mighty king Samvarana, was duly worshipping Surya with offerings of Arghya and flower-garlands and scents, and with vows and fasts and ascetic penances of various kinds.
Mbh.1.173.8857	Indeed, Samvarana was worshipping Surya constantly in all his glory, with devotion and humility and piety.
Mbh.1.173.8858	And beholding Samvarana conversant with all rules of virtue and unequalled on earth for beauty, Surya regarded him as the fit husband for his daughter, Tapati.
Mbh.1.173.8860	As Surya himself in the heavens filleth the firmament with his splendour, so did king Samvarana on earth fill every region with the splendour of his good achievements.
Mbh.1.173.8862	Blest with good luck, king Samvarana excelled Soma in soothing the hearts of friends and Surya in scorching the hearts of foes.
Mbh.1.173.8863	And, O Kaurava, Tapana Surya himself was resolved upon bestowing his daughter Tapati upon king Samvarana, who was possessed of such virtues and accomplishments.
Mbh.1.173.8868	Next he regarded her to be the embodiment of the rays emanating from Surya.
Mbh.1.175.8936	Having purified himself duly, the king sat upon that chief of mountains, and began, with joined palms and upturned face, to worship Surya.
Mbh.1.175.8941	The illustrious Rishi, in the very sight of that monarch, ascended upward to interview Surya, himself possessed of the splendour of that luminary.
Mbh.1.175.8946	Thus addressed by Surya, the Rishi of great ascetic merit, bowing unto the god of light, replied, saying, O Vibhavasu, this thy daughter, Tapati, the younger sister of Savitri, I ask of thee for Samvarana!
Mbh.1.175.8952	And the great Rishi then accepted the girl, Tapati, and taking leave of Surya, came back to the spot, where that bull amongst the Kurus, of celestial achievements, was.
Mbh.1.178.9145	For twelve years the monarch had been overwhelmed by the energy of Vasishtha's son like Surya seized by the planet Rahu during the season of an eclipse.
Mbh.1.188.9446	And beholding the son of Surya, Karna of the Suta tribe, like unto fire, or Soma, or Surya himself, resolved to shoot the mark, those foremost of bowmen, the sons of Pandu, regarded the mark as already shot and brought down upon the ground.
Mbh.1.191.9525	Then the illustrious Arjuna beholding Karna, the son of Vikartana Surya, advancing towards him, drew his tough bow and pieced him with his sharp arrows.
Mbh.1.191.9532	And incensed at finding the strength and energy of Arjuna's arms unequalled on the earth, Karna, the son of Surya, fought with greater vigour.
Mbh.1.212.10403	There were present that God of gods, viz, Mahadeva, and Agni, accompanied by Vayu, and Soma and Surya and Sakra, and Rishis devoted to the contemplation of Brahma, and the Vaikhanasas, the Valakhilyas, the Vanaprasthas, the Marichipas, the Ajas, the Avimudas, and other ascetics of great energy.
Mbh.1.228.11166	Tvashtri of great strength took up in wrath, a huge mountain and Surya stood with a bright dart, and Mrityu with a battle-axe.
Mbh.1.230.11284	Thou art the twin Aswins; thou art Surya; thou art Soma; thou art Vayu.
Mbh.2.11.424	Repairing then to the breast of the Himavat, I commenced that great vow, and after I had completed it the exalted and sinless deity Surya endued with great energy, and knowing no fatigue, took me with him to the Sabha of the Grandsire.
Mbh.3.3.195	Dhaumya said, Surya, Aryaman, Bhaga, Twastri, Pusha, Arka, Savitri.
Mbh.3.3.197	These are the hundred and eight names of Surya of immeasurable energy, as told by the self-create Brahma.
Mbh.3.3.244	Thou art Martanda, and Arka, and Ravi, and Surya and Saranya and maker of day, and Divakara and Suptasaspti, and Dhumakeshin and Virochana.
Mbh.3.12.614	O slayer of all foes, having floated on the primordial waters, thou subsequently becamest Hari and Brahma and Surya and Dharma, and Dhatri and Yama and Anala and Vasu, and Vaisravana, and Rudra, and Kala and the firmament the earth, and the ten directions!
Mbh.3.39.2126	O Sarva, O thou that rainest objects of desire, O bearer of the trident, O wielder of the Pinaka, O Surya, O thou of pure body, O Creator of all, I bow to thee.
Mbh.3.41.2186	And the god of justice, of inconceivable soul, the son of Surya, the destroyer of all creatures, with the mace in hand, came there on his car, illuminating the three worlds with regions of the Guhyakas, the Gandharvas and the Nagas, like a second Surya as he riseth at the end of the Yuga.
Mbh.3.41.2197	And, O son of the Kuru race, O Dhananjaya, thou shalt also slay Karna of fierce prowess, who is even a portion of my father Surya, of energy celebrated throughout the worlds.
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.3.87.4781	JBH the sacrificial region of the gods and the sacrificial stake of Surya.
Mbh.3.104.5370	And seeing this the mountain Vindhya spake to Surya saying, As thou every day goest round Meru and honourest him by thy circumambulations, do thou even the same by me, O maker of light'
Mbh.3.220.11166	Bhanu married Supraja, and Brihadbhanu the daughter of Surya the sun-god.
Mbh.3.298.14706	And, O mighty monarch, ascertaining this intention of the great chief of the celestials about Karna's ear-rings, Surya, having effulgence for his wealth, went unto Karna.
Mbh.3.298.14708	And assuming from ascetic power the form of a handsome Brahmana versed in the Vedas, Surya sweetly said unto Karna these words for his benefit, O son, do thou O Karna, listen to these words of mine, O thou foremost of truthful persons!
Mbh.3.299.14746	SECTION CCLXLIX Surya said, Never do, O Karna, anything that is harmful to thy self and thy friends; thy sons, thy wives, thy father, and thy mother; O thou best of those that bear life, people desire renown in this world and lasting fame in heaven, without wishing to sacrifice their bodies.
Mbh.3.300.14791	Surya said, If O son, thou givest away thy ear-rings to the wielder of the thunder-bolt, O thou of mighty strength, thou shouldst also, for the purpose of securing victory, speak unto him, saying, O thou of a hundred sacrifices, I shall give thee ear-rings under a condition,
Mbh.3.300.14800	Thereupon, having heard everything, that enemy of Swarbhanu, that lord, the resplendent and divine Surya, said unto him with a smile, It is even so'
Mbh.3.304.14934	Surya then said, O damsel of slender waist, I will, even as thou hast said, return to the place I have come from!
Mbh.3.304.14936	Thy intention, O blessed one, it is to have from Surya a son furnished with a coat of mail and ear-rings, and who in point of prowess would be beyond compare in this world!
Mbh.3.304.14945	Vaisampayana continued, Thereupon the princess beheld the celestials standing in the firmament, each in his proper sphere, even as she saw before her that highly resplendent deity furnished with rays, viz, Surya himself.
Mbh.3.304.14947	And then she addressed Surya, saying, O lord of rays, go thou back to thy own region.
Mbh.3.304.14953	Then Surya said, It is because I consider thee a girl that, O Kunti, I am speaking to thee so mildly.
Mbh.3.305.14975	Hearing these words of hers, Surya replied, O thou of sweet smiles, neither thy father, nor thy mother, nor any other superior of thine, is competent to give thee away!
Mbh.3.305.14987	Hearing these words of hers, Surya answered, O gentle maiden, thy son shall be mighty-armed and decked with ear-rings and a celestial coat of mail.
Mbh.3.305.14991	Surya then said, O princess, O excellent damsel, these ear-rings had been given to me by Aditi.
Mbh.3.305.14995	Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of hers Surya said, So be it'
Mbh.3.305.14999	Surya then addressed her, saying, I will now depart, O thou of graceful hips!
Mbh.3.305.15002	Vaisampayana continued, Then, O foremost of kings, as the highly effulgent Surya was about to depart, that girl bashfully said unto him, So be it'
Mbh.3.305.15003	And it was thus that the daughter of king Kuntibhoja, importuned by Surya, had after soliciting a son from him, fallen down stupefied on that excellent bed, like a broken creeper.
Mbh.3.305.15006	And after Surya had gone away, that girl regained her consciousness
Mbh.3.306.15023	And may, O son, that best of those that impart heat, viz, Surya, thy father, and from whom I have obtained thee as ordained by Destiny, protect thee everywhere!
Mbh.3.306.15026	Surely, thy sire, O son, the divine Surya possessed of the wealth of splendour, is blessed, for he will with his celestial sight behold thee going down the current!
Mbh.3.307.15066	And when, O foremost of monarchs, Karna after rising from the water, used at mid-day to worship the effulgent Surya with joined hands, the Brahmanas used to solicit him for wealth.
Mbh.3.308.15090	Thereupon Sakra replied, Even before I had come to thee, Surya had known of my purpose and without doubt, it is he that hath unfolded everything unto thee!
Mbh.4.15.625	Vaisampayana continued, And that helpless damsel then adored Surya for a moment.
Mbh.4.15.626	And Surya, having considered all that she urged, commanded a Rakshasa to protect her invisibly.
Mbh.4.16.645	Thereupon, O Bharata, the Rakshasa that had been appointed by Surya to protect Draupadi, gave Kichaka a shove with a force mighty as that of the wind.
Mbh.4.30.1243	Vaisampayana continued, Accepting these words of Karna, the son of Surya, king Duryodhana speedily commanded his brother Dussasana, born immediately after him and always obedient to his wishes, saying, Consulting with the elders, array without delay, our forces.
Mbh.5.16.738	Salya continued, While that best of Angira's race was thus speaking, there came that guardian of the world, Kuvera, and also Yama the son of Surya, and the old god Soma, and Varuna.
Mbh.5.29.1215	It is by virtue of work that the sleepless Surya rises every day and becomes the cause of day and night, and Soma passes through the months and the fortnights and the combinations of constellations.
Mbh.5.44.2489	It is by this that the Gandharvas and the Apsaras acquired such personal beauty, and it is through Brahmacharya that Surya riseth to make the day.
Mbh.5.46.2548	It leadeth the senses, and it is in consequence of that Seed that Surya shineth.
Mbh.5.108.4980	That quarter towards which Surya the illuminator of the universe first riseth; where, at eve, the Sadhyas engage in their ascetic austerities; where that Intelligence, which pervades the whole universe first springeth; where the two eyes of Dharma, as well as he himself, are stationed; where the clarified butter first poured in sacrifice subsequently flowed all around; that quarter, O best of all regenerate persons, is the gate of Day and Time.
Mbh.5.108.4989	It was here that the Gayatri was first preached by Surya unto the reciters of that sacred hymn.
Mbh.5.108.4990	It was here, O best of Brahmanas, that the Yajurvedas were delivered by Surya unto Yajnavalkya.
Mbh.5.109.5022	In this region, O Brahmana, Manu and Yavakrita's son together set a limit which Surya can never overstep.
Mbh.5.109.5030	It was here that the great sage Chakradhanu took his birth from Surya.
Mbh.5.117.5285	And the royal sage then sported with her, as Surya with Prabhavati, Agni with Swaha, Vasava with Sachi, Chandra with Rohini, Yama with Urmila, Varuna with Gauri, Kuvera with Riddhi, Narayana with Lakshmi, Sagara with Jahnavi, Rudra with Rudrani, the Grandsire with Saraswati, Vasishtha's son Saktri with Adrisyanti, Vasishtha with Arundhati called also Akshamala, Chyavana with Sukanya, Pulastya with Sandhya, Agastya with the princess of Vidarbha Lopamudra, Satyavan with Savitri, Bhrigu with Puloma, Kasyapa with Aditi, Richika's son Jamadagni with Renuka, Kusika's son Viswamitra with Himavati, Vrihaspati with Tara, Sukra with Sataprava, Bhumipati with Bhumi, Pururavas with Urvasi, Richika with Satyavati, Manu with Saraswati, Dushyanta with Sakuntala, the eternal Dharma with Dhriti, Nala with Damayanti, Narada, with Satyavati, Jaratkaru with Jaratkaru, Pulastya with Pratichya, Urnayus with Menaka, Tumvuru with Rambha, Vasuki with Satasirsha, Dhananjaya with Kamari, Rama with the princess of Videha Sita, or Janardana with Rukmini.
Mbh.5.141.6292	My mother, while a maiden, bore me in her womb, O Janardana, through her connection with Surya.
Mbh.5.141.6293	And at the command of Surya himself, she abandoned me as soon as I was born.
Mbh.5.144.6472	Long reflecting with a trembling heart on the strength or weakness of those mantras and the power also of the Brahmana's words, and in consequence also of my disposition as a woman, and my nature as a girl of unripe years, deliberating repeatedly and while guarded by a confidential nurse and surrounded by my waiting-maids, and thinking also of how not to incur any reproach, how to maintain the honour of my father, and how I myself might have an accession of good fortune without being guilty of any transgression, I, at last, remembered that Brahmana and bowed to him, and having obtained that mantras from excess of curiosity and from folly, I summoned, during my maidenhood, the god Surya.
Mbh.5.145.6493	O Karna, that divine Surya who blazeth forth in light and maketh everything visible, O foremost of all wielders of weapons, begat thee upon me.
Mbh.5.146.6509	Coming from a great distance, that voice was uttered by Surya himself with paternal affection.
Mbh.5.146.6513	Vaisampayana continued, Though, thus addressed by his mother, and by also his father Surya himself, Karna's heart did not yet waver, for he was firmly devoted to truth.
Mbh.5.169.7628	As regards this thy ever dear friend, this one who is always boastful of his skill in battle, this one who always urgeth thee, O king, to fight with the Pandavas, this vile braggart, Karna, the son of Surya, this one who is thy counsellor, guide, and friend, this vain wight who is destitute of sense, this Karna, is neither a Ratha nor an Atiratha.
Mbh.6.11.539	Tell me also, O Sanjaya, of the extent of the ocean of Sakadwipa, and Kusadwipa, of Salmalidwipa and Kraunchadwipa, truly and without leaving anything and tell me also, O son of Gavalgani, of Rahu and Soma and Surya'
Mbh.6.77.4048	And Bhima then resembled Surya himself of fierce splendour surrounded by the mighty planets of evil nature, at the time of the universal destruction.
Mbh.6.124.6897	O son of Surya, let these hostilities end with me!
Mbh.7.37.1903	I shall certainly devour the son of Subhadra today, like Rahu swallowing Surya sun'
Mbh.7.53.2539	Is she the splendour of Surya, or the flame of Agni?
Mbh.7.78.3466	And Krishna adored, with speech, mind, understanding, and acts, that God who is the first source of the universe, himself uncreate, the supreme lord of unfading glory: who is the highest cause of the mind, who is space and the wind, who is the cause of all the luminous bodies in the firmament, who is the creator of the rain, and the supreme, primordial substance of the earth, who is the object of adoration, with the gods, the Danavas, the Yakshas, and human beings; who is the supreme Brahma that is seen by Yogins and the refuge of those acquainted with Shastras, who is the creator of all mobile and immobile creatures, and their destroyer also; who is the Wrath that burns everything at the end of the Yuga; who is the supreme soul; who is the Sakra and Surya, and the origin of all attributes.
Mbh.7.82.3619	And adored and blessed with benedictions about victory by Brahmanas, old in ascetic penances and knowledge and years, ever engaged in the performance of religious rites and sacrifices, and having their passions under control, Arjuna then ascended that great car, that excellent vehicle, which had previously been sanctified with mantras capable of giving victory in battle, like Surya of blazing rays ascending the eastern mountain.
Mbh.7.82.3620	And that foremost of car-warriors decked with gold, in consequence or those golden ornaments of his, on his car like Surya of blazing splendour on the breast of Meru.
Mbh.7.82.3624	Mounted on that best of cars with those two friends, that slayer of large bodies of foes, viz, Partha, proceeded for achieving the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus, like Soma rising in the firmament with Budha and Sukra, for destroying the gloom of night, or like Indra proceeding with Varuna and Surya to the great battle with the Asuras occasioned by the abduction of Taraka the wife of Vrihaspati.
Mbh.7.96.4410	Indeed, O king, the car of Surya himself, or that of Rudra or that of Vaisravana, never goeth so fast.
Mbh.7.102.4743	With that silver mark on his barrier, the ruler of the Sindhus looked as resplendent, as Surya in days of yore in the battle between the celestials and the Asuras.
Mbh.7.152.7983	Then those scorchers of foes, viz, the two brothers, riding oh the same car, both rushed against Bhima in the front rank of battle, like the Regent of the waters and Surya rushing against Taraka, that foremost of Daityas.
Mbh.7.173.9367	With that driver he came to battle like Surya with his driver Aruna.
Mbh.7.177.9618	Indeed, that battle between the son of Surya and Bhima's son, characterised by a thick and heavy shower of weapons, looked exceedingly beautiful and presented almost an unrivalled sight like the fierce encounter between Rahu and Surya in the welkin'
Mbh.7.184.10067	Soon after, Aruna, the charioteer of Surya, weakening the splendour of the moon, appeared, causing the welkin to assume a coppery hue.
Mbh.7.187.10320	That beautiful car of his which had now only one wheel, was borne by his steeds, like the single wheeled car of Surya, drawn by the seven celestial steeds.
Mbh.7.199.11403	Surya was then eating the principal oblation.
Mbh.7.199.11466	He is the Moon, he is Isana, he is Surya, he is Varuna.
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.8.32.1478	Even as Surya, uniting with Aruna, destroys the darkness, do thou, uniting with Karna, slay Partha in battle.
Mbh.8.32.1480	Even as darkness is destroyed, O sire, at the sight of Surya and Aruna, even so let the Kaunteyas Pandavas with the Pancalas and the Srinjayas perish beholding thee and Karna.
Mbh.8.34.1839	With his natural earring and natural coat of mail, this mighty car-warrior of long arms, resembling Surya himself, could not be borne by a common woman even as a she-deer can never bear a tiger.
Mbh.8.36.1906	Then Karna, that foremost of car-warriors, duly worshipping that car which had in days of old been sanctified by a priest conversant with Brahma, and circumambulating it and carefully adoring the god Surya addressed the ruler of the Madras standing near, saying, Ascend the vehicle
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.8.39.2056	Thou regardest thyself a lion till thou beholdest the two Krishnas stationed on the same car like Surya and Candramas.
Mbh.8.68.3945	This high-souled son that is born of thee, O Kunti, will in beauty be the rival of Soma, in speed of the god of wind, in patience of Meru, in forgiveness of Earth, in splendour of Surya, in prosperity of the Lord of treasures, in courage of Sakra, and in might of Vishnu.
Mbh.8.87.5310	Surya, however, said, Let Karna vanquish Arjuna.
Mbh.8.87.5313	Even thus did Surya and Vasava, those two foremost of personages, who were there and had adopted opposite sides, dispute with each other.
Mbh.8.90.5628	And Sakra and Surya, using their hands, gently brushed the faces of those two heroes.
Mbh.8.90.5663	Thus that she-snake whom Arjuna had killed at Khandava of excellent mouth, through her son in the form of an arrow, sped by Surya's son, beholding Arjuna of exceeding energy and might standing with his head at a level with the reins of the steeds, took away his diadem only, that well-made ornament formerly owned by Aditi's son and endued with the effulgence of Surya himself.
Mbh.8.94.6020	It seemed that illustrious Surya, ever kind to his worshippers, having touched with his rays the gore-drenched body of Karna, proceeded, with aspect crimson in grief, to the other ocean from desire of a bath.
Mbh.8.94.6036	Having scorched the Pandavas and the Pancalas with the energy of his weapons, having poured showers of arrows and burnt the hostile divisions, having, indeed, heated the universe like the thousand-rayed Surya of great beauty, Karna, otherwise called Vaikartana, left the world, with his sons and followers.
Mbh.8.96.6159	The learned say that the holy and the eternal Vishnu is Sacrifice, and each of those other gods, viz, Agni, Wind, Soma, and Surya, is so.
Mbh.9.30.2210	As he stood armed with mace, the Pandavas regarded him to be the angry son of Surya himself armed with the bludgeon called Kinkara.
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.9.43.3110	Endued with great prowess, Surya, with a gratified heart, gave unto Kartikeya two of his followers named Subhraja and Bhaswara.
Mbh.9.44.3246	And some partook of the nature of Vayu, some of Kumara, some of Brahma, O bull of Bharata's race, and some of Vishnu and some of Surya, and some of Varaha.
Mbh.9.47.3511	There, O best of kings, the adorable Surya of great splendour, having performed a sacrifice, obtained the sovereignty of all luminous bodies in the universe and acquired also his great energy.
Mbh.11.27.1101	Then Kunti, O king, in a sudden paroxysm of grief, weepingly addressed her sons in these soft words, That hero and great bowman, that leader of leaders of car-divisions, that warrior distinguished by every mark of heroism, who hath been slain by Arjuna in battle, that warrior whom, ye sons of Pandu, ye took forth, Sutas child born of Radha, that hero who shone in the midst of his forces like the lord Surya himself, who battled with all of you and your followers, who looked resplendent as he commanded the vast force of the Duryodhana, who had no equal on earth for energy, that hero who preferred glory to life, that unretiring warrior firm in truth and never fatigued with exertion, was your eldest brother.
Mbh.11.27.1103	That hero was born with a pair of earrings and clad in armour, and resembled Surya himself in splendour!
Mbh.12.1.28	Whilst we were offering oblations of water unto the dead, Kunti spoke of him as the son of Surya.
Mbh.12.3.113	Though his limb was bored through by that worm, O Bharata, the son of Surya, lest his preceptor should awake, suffered it to do its pleasure.
Mbh.12.5.190	In consequence of a Brahmana's curse, as also of the curse of the illustrious Rama, of the boon granted to Kunti and the illusion practised on him by Indra, of his depreciation by Bhishma as only half a car-warrior, at the tale of Rathas and Atirathas, of the destruction of his energy caused by Salya with his keen speeches, of Vasudeva's policy, and, lastly of the celestial weapons obtained by Arjuna from Rudra and Indra and Yama and Varuna and Kuvera and Drona and the illustrious Kripa, the wielder of Gandiva succeeded in slaying Vikartana's son Karna of effulgence like that of Surya himself.
Mbh.12.6.198	The god Surya also, O foremost of all righteous persons, did the same.
Mbh.12.6.200	Neither by affliction nor by reasons could Surya or myself succeed in pacifying him or inducing him to unite himself with thee.
Mbh.12.15.617	Kala and Mrityu and Vayu and Kuvera and Surya, the Vasus, the Maruts, the Sadhyas, and the Viswadevas, O Bharata, are all slaughterers.
Mbh.12.46.2281	When the divine Surya shall have turned towards the north, Bhishma will leave this world, for those regions of bliss that he has won.
Mbh.12.47.2293	Surrounded by many foremost of Brahmanas, that hero, his body pierced with innumerable arrows, blazed forth in great beauty like Surya himself with his innumerable rays.
Mbh.12.47.2332	Thou transcendest Surya in glory.
Mbh.12.49.2673	Vaisampayana continued, Conversing thus with Yudhishthira, that foremost of righteous persons, the high-souled Yadava hero proceeded quickly on that car, illumining all the points of the compass like the divine Surya himself
Mbh.12.50.2747	Subject to universal time, when the divine Surya turns to his northerly course, thou, O foremost of men, shalt go to those regions whence no man of knowledge ever returns to this earth!
Mbh.12.51.2789	Soon after, like a fire at the extremity of a great forest, the divine Surya of a thousand rays was seen to descend to the west.
Mbh.12.121.6907	Surya was made the lord of all luminous bodies, and Chandramas was made the king of Stars and constellations.
Mbh.12.121.6917	Kshupa then made it over to Manu the son of Surya.
Mbh.12.165.9890	The Regents, O son, gave that large sword to Manu the son of Surya.
Mbh.12.192.11483	Surya should be always worshipped.
Mbh.12.198.12073	A Reciter of Gayatri goes to the supreme god Brahman, or repairs to Agni or enters the region of Surya.
Mbh.12.222.13453	He was Surya.
Mbh.12.222.13459	Formerly, it was he who used to illumine all the points of the compass as Surya and to set when evening came.
Mbh.12.227.14003	Riding upon Vishnu's vehicle adorned with Garuda and Surya himself, that object blazed forth with unrivalled splendour, and seemed to illumine the three worlds.
Mbh.12.227.14015	I am that Padma, that Sree decked with lotuses, who sprang from the lotus that blooms at the touch of the rays of Surya, for the prosperity of all creatures.
Mbh.12.261.15866	Surya, Chandramas, the god of wind, Brahman, Prana, Kratu, and Yama these dwell in living creatures, There are men that live by trafficking in living creatures!
Mbh.12.261.15870	The horse is Surya.
Mbh.12.263.16005	Faith with respect to Brahma is the daughter of Surya, O regenerate one.
Mbh.12.284.17604	To thee that art Surya, that hast a garland of Suryas round thy neck, and that hast standards and flags bearing the device of Surya.
Mbh.12.284.17804	Let him who entering Rahu's mouth drinketh Soma in the night and who becoming Swarbhanu devoureth Surya also, protect me
Mbh.12.292.18288	The royal son of Sivi also won the highest regions of felicity by having gratified Surya along with his companion with offerings of the same kind.
Mbh.12.301.18924	Surya then bears, with his rays, those righteous men that are practicers of the Sankhya doctrines.
Mbh.12.301.18926	Surya, drinking all things from the universe, conveys them unto those good and wise men
Mbh.12.312.19588	Urged by the unmanifest, that Being assuming the form of Surya of hundreds of thousands of rays, divides himself into a dozen portions each resembling a blazing fire.
Mbh.12.313.19609	The lower duct anal canal is Adhyatma; its function of throwing out the excreta is Adhibhuta, and Mitra Surya is the Adhidaivata of that organ.
Mbh.12.313.19614	The eye is Adhyatma; vision or form is its Adhibhuta; and Surya is the Adhidaivata of that organ.
Mbh.12.318.19779	Having conducted myself with humility according to the ordinances laid down by the Rishis I obtained the Yajushes, O king, from Surya.
Mbh.12.318.19781	The puissant Surya, O sinless one, gratified with me, saying, Solicit thou, O regenerate Rishi, the boon upon which thou hast set thy heart, however, difficult it may be of acquisition, I shall, with cheerful Soul, grant it to thee.
Mbh.12.318.19792	Not understanding that what the high-souled Surya had done for me was for my good, I became even angry with him.
Mbh.12.318.19793	While I was burning with the energy of the goddess, the holy Surya told me, Do thou endure this burning sensation for only a little while.
Mbh.12.318.19800	Having said these words unto me, the divine Surya proceeded to the Asta hills.
Mbh.12.318.19802	Thought of by me, the auspicious Saraswati appeared instantly before my eyes, adorned with all the vowels and the consonants and having placed the syllable Om in the van, I then, according to the ordinance, offered unto the goddess the usual Arghya, and dedicated another to Surya, that foremost of all heat-giving deities.
Mbh.12.318.19810	I had thus got from Surya the five times ten Yajushes, O monarch.
Mbh.12.318.19812	Keeping before me those original Mantras and the goddess Saraswati I, then, O king, aided by the inspiration of Surya, set myself to compile the excellent Satapatha Brahmanas, and succeeded in achieving the task never before undertaken by any one else.
Mbh.12.318.19816	Having established for the use of others this knowledge consisting of fifty branches which I had obtained from Surya, I now meditate on the great object of that knowledge viz, Brahma.
Mbh.12.323.20596	Thither all the regenerate Rishis and royal sages and the Regents of the world and the Sadhyas along with the Vasus, and the Adityas, the Rudras, and Surya and Chandramas, and the Maruts, and the Oceans, and the Rivers and the Aswins, the Deities, the Gandharvas, and Narada and Parvata and the Gandharva Viswavasu, and the Siddhas, and the Apsaras.
Mbh.12.335.21465	Following the Sattwata ritual that had been declared in days of yore by Surya himself, king Uparichara used to worship the God of gods Narayana, and when his worship was over, he used to adore with what remained the grandsire of the universe
Mbh.12.335.21496	Surya, and Chandramas, Wind, and Earth, and Water and Fire, all the stars and planets and constellations, all else that is called by the name of creatures, and utterers of Brahma or the Vedas, they all live and act in their respective spheres and are all respected as authorities.
Mbh.12.336.21578	The effulgence that was emitted by each of those men resembled, O foremost of ascetics, the splendours which Surya assumes when the time comes for the dissolution of the universe.
Mbh.12.338.21723	Thou art he who is the topic of the five foremost of scriptures viz, those that appertain to the worship of Surya, of Sakti, of Ganesa, of Siva, and of Vishnu.
Mbh.12.339.21907	Learned preceptors, with settled convictions deducted from the truths of the Sankhya philosophy, have spoken of me as Kapila endued with the puissance of Knowledge, dwelling within the effulgence of Surya, and concentrated in Yoga
Mbh.12.339.21974	The deity Surya, having heard that narrative from those Rishis crowned with ascetic success repeated it to the six and sixty thousands of Rishis, O king, of cleansed souls, that follow in his train.
Mbh.12.339.21975	And Surya, the deity that imparts heat unto all worlds, repeated that narrative unto those Beings also, of cleansed souls, that have been created by Brahman for always journeying in the van of Surya
Mbh.12.340.22023	Then, again, Brahman, and Rudra, the puissant Sakra the slayer of Vala, Surya, Chandramas the Lord of the stars, the Wind-god, the Deity of fire, the Deity of the Waters, Infinite Space as living Being, the Universe too as a conscious agent, and the rest of the denizens of heaven, they, it seems, are ignorant of the way of securing annihilation of conscious existence, that is capable of being brought about by self-realisation
Mbh.12.342.22587	It is said that Surya and Chandramas are the eyes of Narayana.
Mbh.12.342.22588	The rays of Surya constitute my eyes.
Mbh.12.355.23673	Behold, the rays of the divine Surya have been partially dimmed and the god of day is proceeding in his downward course
Mbh.12.356.23693	The wife of the Naga said, Reverend sir, my husband has gone to drag the car of Surya for a month.
Mbh.12.358.23726	SECTION CCCLIX Bhishma said, Upon the expiry of the period of full fifteen days, the Naga chief Padmanabha, having finished his task of dragging the car of Surya and obtained the latter's permission, came back to his own house.
Mbh.12.361.23823	The Naga said, The divine Surya is the refuge or home of innumerable wonders.
Mbh.12.361.23824	All the creatures that inhabit the three worlds have flowed from Surya.
Mbh.12.361.23825	Innumerable Munis, crowned with ascetic success, together with all the deities, reside in the rays of Surya like birds perching on the branches of trees.
Mbh.12.361.23826	What, again, can be more wonderful than this that the mighty Wind, emanating from Surya, takes refuge in his ray and thence yawns over the universe?
Mbh.12.361.23827	What can be more wonderful than this, O regenerate Rishi, that Surya, dividing the Wind into many portions from desire of doing good to all creatures, creates rain that falls in the rainy season?
Mbh.12.361.23829	What can be more wonderful than this that Surya has a dark ray which transforms itself into clouds charged with rain and pours showers of rain when the season comes?
Mbh.12.361.23831	In certain rays of Surya, the Soul of the universe is said to reside.
Mbh.12.361.23833	What can be more wonderful, O Brahmana, than this, that the foremost of Purushas, eternal and mighty-armed, endued with exceeding effulgence, eternal, and without beginning and without end, resides in Surya?
Mbh.12.361.23836	I have seen it in the clear sky, in consequence of my adjacence to Surya.
Mbh.12.361.23837	In former times, one day at the hour of noon, while Surya was shining in all his glory and giving heat to everything we beheld a Being coming towards Surya, who seemed to shine with effulgence that was equal to that of Surya himself.
Mbh.12.361.23838	Causing all the worlds to blaze up with his glory and filling them with his energy, he came, as I have already told thee, towards Surya, rending the firmament, as it were, for making his path through it.
Mbh.12.361.23842	Indeed, he appeared to us to be like a second Surya.
Mbh.12.361.23843	As soon as he came near, Surya extended his two hands for giving him a respectful reception.
Mbh.12.361.23844	For honouring Surya in return, he also extended his right-hand.
Mbh.12.361.23848	Indeed, we could not make out who was Surya whom we bore on his car, and who was the Being that we had seen coming through the sky.
Mbh.12.361.23849	Filled with confusion, we then addressed Surya, saying, O illustrious one who is this Being that has mixed himself with thee and has been transformed into thy second self'
Mbh.12.362.23850	SECTION CCCLXIII Surya said, This Being is not the god of fire, he is not an Asura.
Mbh.12.362.23862	That Brahmana, who was crowned with success by the observance of the Unccha vow and who thus obtained an end that persons crowned with ascetic success acquire, to this day, O regenerate one, goes round the Earth, staying in the disc of Surya
Mbh.13.1.93	All acts in this world and all abstentions, as also all their modifications, are said to be influenced by Kala, Surya, Soma, Vishnu, Water, Wind, the deity of a hundred sacrificer, Fire, Sky, Earth, Mitra and Parjanya, Aditi, and the Vasus, Rivers and Oceans, all existent and non-existent objects, are created and destroyed by Kala.
Mbh.13.2.145	Of that king, illustrious as Surya, were born a hundred sons.
Mbh.13.9.562	Even such is the energy, so great, of the Brahmana like unto that of the thousand-rayed Surya himself, on the Earth.
Mbh.13.14.1394	Thou art Meru amongst mountains, thou art the Moon among all luminaries of the firmament, thou art Vasishtha amongst Rishis, thou art Surya among the planets.
Mbh.13.17.1810	Thou art Chandramas, thou art Surya, thou art the planet Saturn, thou art the descending node of the moon, thou art the ascending node, thou art Mangala Mars, and thou art Vrihaspati Jupiter and Sukra Venus, thou art Vudha Mercury thou art the worshipper of Atri's wife, thou art he who shot his shaft in wrath at Sacrifice when Sacrifice fled away from him in the form of a deer.
Mbh.13.17.1947	Thou art Surya who has green steeds yoked unto his car.
Mbh.13.26.3505	SECTION XXVI Vaisampayana said, Equal unto Vrihaspati in intelligence and Brahma himself in forgiveness, resembling Sakra in prowess and Surya in energy, Bhishma the son of Ganga, of infinite might, had been overthrown in battle by Arjuna.
Mbh.13.26.3638	The Brahmanas hold Ganga as equalling the Earth in forgiveness, and in the protection and upholding of those that live by her; further, as equalling Fire and Surya in energy and splendour; and, lastly, as always equalling Guha himself in the matter of showing favours unto the regenerate class
Mbh.13.58.5727	It is gratifying to Surya himself.
Mbh.13.76.6943	They have that in them which partakes in the nature of both Surya, and Soma.
Mbh.13.79.7136	By giving away a cow of red complexion, with a calf that resembles herself, yielding milk, free from every vice, and covered with a piece of cloth, one attains to great honours in the region of Surya.
Mbh.13.84.7534	The goat is Fire for it given, it leads to the region of the deity of fire; the sheep is Varuna for if leads to the region of Varuna the lord of waters; the horse is Surya for if leads to the region of Surya; elephants are Nagas for they lead to the world of Nagas; buffaloes are Asuras for they lead to the region of Asuras; cocks and boars are Rakshasas for they lead to the regions of the Rakshasas, O delighter of the Bhrigus; earth is sacrifice, kine, water, and Soma for it leads to the merits of sacrifice, and to the region of kine, of the lord of waters and of Soma.
Mbh.13.85.7731	Like unto Surya or thy blazing self, in beauty it is even like a second Soma'
Mbh.13.85.7770	In consequence of the seed having fallen on the dust, Pushan Surya took up that dust mixed with the particles of seed from the earth with his hands and cast it into the sacrificial fire.
Mbh.13.86.7944	The gods numbering three and thirty, the points of the compass in their embodied forms together with the deities presiding over them, and Rudra and Dhatri and Vishnu and Yama and Pushan and Aryaman and Bhaga, and Angas and Mitra and the Sadhyas and Vasava and the Vasus and the Aswins and the Waters and the Wind and the Firmament and Chandramas and all the Constellations and the Planets and Surya, and all the Ricks and Samans and Yajuses in their embodied forms, came there to behold that wonderful child who was the son of the deity of blazing flames.
Mbh.13.95.8673	I shall, in this connection, recite the narrative of the discourse between Jamadagni and the high-souled Surya.
Mbh.13.95.8691	Then, O son of Kunti, beholding him addressed for fight, Surya approached him in the guise of a Brahmana, and said unto him.
Mbh.13.95.8692	What has Surya done to displease thee?
Mbh.13.96.8706	Bhishma said, O descendant of Kuru, despite all the supplications of Surya, the sage Jamadagni, endued with the effulgence of fire, continued to cherish his anger.
Mbh.13.96.8708	O king, Surya, in the guise of a Brahmana, bowed his head unto him and addressed him, with folded hands, in these soft words.
Mbh.13.96.8714	It is then, O Surya, that I shall pierce thee with my arrows!
Mbh.13.96.8716	Surya said O regenerate Rishi, without doubt, thou knowest me, O best of archers!
Mbh.13.96.8718	Bhishma continued, At this, the adorable Jamadagni smilingly addressed the maker of day, saying, O Surya, when thou hast sought my protection, thou hast nothing to fear!
Mbh.13.96.8722	Bhishma continued, So saying, that excellent descendant of Bhrigu remained silent for a while, and Surya forthwith made over to him an umbrella and a pair of sandals
Mbh.13.96.8723	Surya said, Do thou, O great Rishi, take this umbrella wherewith the head may be protected and my rays warded off.
Mbh.13.96.8726	Bhishma continued, This custom of giving umbrellas and shoes was introduced by Surya!
Mbh.13.127.11039	SECTION CXXVII Vibhavasu otherwise called Surya said, There are two offerings.
Mbh.13.130.11165	Soma and Surya and the deity of fire always give him their light when he repairs to the other world.
Mbh.13.130.11167	Verily, when the giver of lights repairs to the world of the dead, he himself blazes forth in pure effulgence like a second Surya.
Mbh.13.146.12164	Varuna has Gauri for his spouse, and Surya has Suvarchala.
Mbh.13.150.12692	All the princes of the race of Soma and of Surya, viz, the Raghavas and the Kauravas, recite these Mantras every day after having purified themselves, These constitute the highest end of human creatures.
Mbh.13.156.12974	Once on a time as the gods and Danavas were fighting each other in the dark, Rahu pierced both Surya and Soma with his arrows.
Mbh.13.156.12978	Addressing that Rishi who had conquered all his senses and in whom wrath had been extinguished, they said Behold, O Rishi, these two, viz, Soma and Surya, who have both been pierced by the Asuras with their arrows!
Mbh.13.156.12987	Beholding that the real Soma and the real Surya had become darkened by the shafts of the foe, Atri, assuming the forms of those luminaries, began to shine forth in splendour over the field of battle, aided by the puissance of his penances.
Mbh.13.156.13008	Both of them are gods, O chief of the deities, for they are the sons of Surya.
Mbh.13.160.13410	He is Chandramas; he is Isana; he is Surya; he is Varuna; he is Time; he is the Destroyer; he is Death; he is the Day and the Night; he is the fortnight; he is the seasons; he is the two twilights; he is the year.
Mbh.13.161.13424	That form which is fierce and terrible is regarded as identical with Agni and Lightning and Surya.
Mbh.13.167.13770	The thousand-rayed maker of day, the holy Surya has begun his northward course.
Mbh.14.43.1722	Surya is the lord of all the planets, and Chandramas of all the constellations.
Mbh.15.16.663	Surely, my son, this heart of mine is made of steel, since it does not break into a hundred pieces at not seeing that child born of Surya.
Mbh.15.16.666	O crusher of foes, I hope thou wilt, with all thy brothers, make excellent gifts for the sake of that son of Surya.
Mbh.15.31.1272	The foremost of heat-giving ones, viz, Surya, having divided his body in twain, continued with one portion to give heat to the worlds and with another to live on Earth
Mbh.15.33.1335	Some among those kings proceeded to the region of Surya.
Mbh.18.2.46	Wherever may that child of Surya be, I desire to see him.
Mbh.18.3.150	Behold, O puissant one, that foremost of men, viz, the son of Surya.
Mbh.18.4.215	The son of Surya, thy eldest brother, the foremost of men, even this one was known as the son of Radha.
Mbh.18.4.216	He moves in the company of Surya.
Mbh.18.5.250	Slain on the field of battle, O foremost of men, Karna entered Surya.
