Suvala - AncientVoice

Mbh.1.1.187	When I heard that the wicked Suvala of magic power, the root of the gaming and the feud, was slain in battle by Sahadeva, the son of Pandu, then, O Sanjaya, I had no hope of success.
Mbh.1.61.2909	Then the crookedminded Duryodhana, and Karna, with the former's uncle the son of Suvala began to persecute them and devise means for their exile.
Mbh.1.61.2958	And deceiving Yudhishthira by means of the dice played through the hands of the son of Suvala, Duryodhana sent the Pandavas into the woods for twelve years and one additional year to be passed in concealment, thus making the period full thirteen.
Mbh.1.63.3170	Then was born the disciple of Prahlada, viz, Nagnajit, and also Suvala.
Mbh.1.63.3171	And from Suvala was born a son, Sakuni, who from the curse of the gods became the slayer of creatures and the foe of virtue.
Mbh.1.67.3589	And she who was Mati became the daughter Gandhari of Suvala.
Mbh.1.110.6088	One is the daughter of Surasena of the Yadava race; the other is the daughter of Suvala; and the third is the princess of Madra.
Mbh.1.110.6096	Vaisampayana continued, Soon after Bhishma heard from the Brahmanas that Gandhari, the amiable daughter of Suvala, having worshipped Hara Siva had obtained from the deity the boon that she should have a century of sons.
Mbh.1.110.6098	King Suvala at first hesitated on account of the blindness of the bridegroom, but taking into consideration the blood of the Kurus, their fame and behaviour, he gave his virtuous daughter unto Dhritarashtra and the chaste Gandhari hearing that Dhritarashtra was blind and that her parents had consented to marry her to him, from love and respect for her future husband, blindfolded her own eyes.
Mbh.1.110.6099	Sakuni, the son of Suvala, bringing unto the Kurus his sister endued with youth and beauty, formally gave her away unto Dhritarashtra.
Mbh.1.115.6236	When she was about to throw it away, Dwaipayana, learning everything by his spiritual powers, promptly came there, and that first of ascetics beholding that ball of flesh, addressed the daughter of Suvala thus, What hast thou done'
Mbh.1.115.6239	Vyasa then said, Daughter of Suvala, it is even so.
Mbh.1.115.6247	The illustrious Vyasa then said unto the daughter of Suvala that she should open the covers of the pots after full two years.
Mbh.1.116.6292	All this while that illustrious and best of Rishis, Krishna-Dwaipayana himself was dividing the ball of flesh; and counting a full hundred of the parts, he said unto the daughter of Suvala, Here are thy hundred sons.
Mbh.1.143.7716	SECTION CXLIII Jatugriha Parva Vaisampayana said, Then the son of Suvala Sakuni, king Duryodhana, Duhsasana and Kama, in consultation with one another, formed an evil conspiracy.
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.1.144.7765	Then Duryodhana and Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Duhsasana as their fourth, held a consultation together.
Mbh.1.153.8050	Else this very day, filled with wrath, I would send thee, O Duryodhana, to the regions of Yama Pluto with thy children and friends and brothers, and Karna, and Sakuni the son of Suvala!
Mbh.1.206.10190	Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, are sinful, foolish and young; listen not to them.
Mbh.2.33.1421	And Dhritarashtra and Bhishma and Vidura of high intelligence; and all Kaurava brothers with Duryyodhana at their head; and Suvala the king of Gandhara and Sakuni endued with great strength; and Achala, and Vrishaka, and Karna that foremost of all charioteers; and Salya endued with great might and the strong Valhika; and Somadatta, and Bhuri of the Kuru race, and Bhurisravas and Sala; and Aswatthama, Kripa, Drona, and Jayadratha, the ruler of Sindhu; and Yajnasena with his sons, and Salya that lord of earth and that great car warrior king Bhagadatta of Pragjyotisha accompanied by all Mlechcha tribes inhabiting the marshy regions on the sea-shore; and many mountain kings, and king Vrihadvala; and Vasudeva the king of the Paundrayas, and the kings of Vanga and Kalinga; and Akastha and Kuntala and the kings of the Malavas and the Andhrakas; and the Dravidas and the Singhalas and the king of Kashmira, and king Kuntibhoja of great energy and king Gauravahana, and all the other heroic kings of Valhika; and Virata with his two sons, and Mavella endued with great might; and various kings and princes ruling in various countries; and, O Bharata king Sisupala endued with great energy and invincible in battle accompanied by his son, all of them came to the sacrifice of the son of Pandu.
Mbh.2.44.1821	The powerful Dhrishtadyumna followed without loss of time king Virata: and Dhananjaya followed the illustrious and mighty charioteer Yajnasena; and the mighty Bhimasena followed Bhishma and Dhritarashtra: and Sahadeva, that master of battle, followed the brave Drona and his son; and Nakula, O king, followed Suvala with his son; and the sons of Draupadi with the son of Subhadra followed those mighty warriors, the kings of the mountainous countries.
Mbh.2.45.1887	And, O ruler of men, king Duryodhana and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, continued to dwell in that delightful assembly house.
Mbh.2.46.1924	O son of Suvala, formerly I strove to compass his destruction.
Mbh.2.47.1963	Duryodhana said O son of Suvala, thou thyself represent properly all this to Dhritarashtra, the chief of the Kurus.
Mbh.2.48.1965	SECTION XLVIII Vaisampayana said, O king, impressed with the great Rajasuya sacrifice of king Yudhishthira, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, having learnt before the intentions of Duryodhana, while accompanying him in the way from the assembly house, and desirous of saying what was agreeable to him, approached Dhritarashtra endued with great wisdom, and finding the monarch deprived of his eye seated in his throne, told him these words, Know, O great king, O bull of the Bharata race, that Duryodhana, having lost colour, hath become pale and emaciated and depressed and a prey to anxiety.
Mbh.2.57.2358	And the mighty-armed one, endued with great prowess, then approached Somadatta, and then Duryodhana and Salya, and the son of Suvala, and those other kings also that had arrived there before him.
Mbh.2.58.2377	After they had taken their seats, as also all the kings, Sakuni the son of Suvala addressed Yudhishthira and said, O king, the assembly is full.
Mbh.2.60.2452	Yudhishthira said, I have, O son of Suvala, one thousand musty elephants with golden girdles, decked with ornaments, with the mark of the lotus on their temples and necks and other parts, adorned with golden garlands, with fine white tusks long and thick as plough-shafts, worthy of carrying kings on their backs, capable of bearing every kind of noise on the field of battle, with huge bodies, capable of battering down the walls of hostile towns, of the colour of new-formed clouds, and each possessing eight she-elephants.
Mbh.2.60.2454	Vaisampayana continued, Unto Yudhishthira who had said so, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, laughingly said, Lo, I have won it'
Mbh.2.62.2515	We all know the skill of Suvala in play.
Mbh.2.64.2579	Yudhishthira said, O son of Suvala, I know that I have untold wealth.
Mbh.2.64.2585	Yudhishthira said, I have, O son of Suvala, immeasurable kine and horses and milch cows with calves and goats and sheep in the country extending from the Parnasa to the eastern bank of the Sindu.
Mbh.2.64.2636	The son of Suvala then, addressing Yudhishthira said, O king, there is still one stake dear to thee that is still unwon.
Mbh.2.64.2645	O king, making the slender-waisted Draupadi, who is even such as my stake, I will play with thee, O son of Suvala
Mbh.2.64.2657	And the son of Suvala, proud of success and flurried with excitement and repeating.
Mbh.2.66.2772	And Sakuni, the son of Suvala, the Gandhara king, similarly applauded Dussasana.
Mbh.2.66.2826	And Suvala himself desirous of a stake, indeed prevailed upon the king to stake this Krishna.
Mbh.2.66.2829	And they all applauded Vikarna and censured the son of Suvala.
Mbh.2.66.2839	Draupadi had been mentioned by Suvala and approved of as a stake by the Pandavas.
Mbh.2.66.2846	Whatever wealth the Pandavas had, she herself and these Pandavas themselves, have all been justly won by the son of Suvala.
Mbh.2.69.3029	And Vidura conversant with everything and the daughter of Suvala, both understood the meaning of those terrible sounds.
Mbh.2.72.3107	At these words, Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, all of whom were guided by vanity, united together, and desirous of counteracting the sons of Pandu, approaching in haste saw privately the wise king Dhritarashtra, the son of Vichitravirya and spake unto him these pleasing and artful words.
Mbh.2.75.3201	Let them now put off their variegated coats of mail, their resplendent robes of celestial make, and let them all attire themselves in deer-skins according to the stake they had accepted of the son of Suvala.
Mbh.2.75.3239	I shall assuredly slay thee in battle with all thy followers soon enough, it thou, O son of Suvala, stayest in the light pursuant to the Kshatriya usage'
Mbh.2.78.3383	Then Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala regarding Drona as their sole refuge, offered the kingdom to him.
Mbh.3.1.17	Alas, our families, we ourselves, and our homes are all gone, when the wicked Duryodhana, backed by the son of Suvala, by Karna and Dussasana, aspireth to this kingdom.
Mbh.3.7.385	His understanding clouded by ignorance, he summoned the son of Suvala, and Karna and Dussasana, and addressed them saying, The learned Vidura, the minister of the wise Dhritarashtra, hath returned!
Mbh.3.23.1142	Fie on the evil-minded son of Suvala!
Mbh.3.44.2335	But the active Arjuna obtained no peace of mind, remembering the unfair play at dice of Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and thinking with rage of Dussasana and his death.
Mbh.3.49.2520	Those wretches also that are his counsellors, viz, Karna and Suvala, and others, always pander to his vices, as he is incapable of understanding things rightly.
Mbh.3.234.11891	Hearing these words of the monarch, the son of Suvala, going unto Duryodhana, who was then sitting with Kama, told them everything in private.
Mbh.3.236.11919	Thou knowest the words that Kshatri spoke to me to thyself, and to the son of Suvala, at the time of the match at dice!
Mbh.3.239.12028	Then king Duryodhana, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Dussasana, and Vikarna, and other sons of Dhritarashtra, seated on cars the clatter of whose wheels resembled the roars of Garuda, returned to the charge, following the lead of Karna, and began to slaughter that host.
Mbh.3.239.12041	Indeed, Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, all fought with the Gandharvas, although every one of them was much wounded and mangled in the encounter.
Mbh.3.249.12300	SECTION CCXLIX Vaisampayana said, Beholding king Duryodhana, incapable of putting up with an insult, seated with the resolution of giving up life by forgoing food, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, said these words to comfort him.
Mbh.3.250.12398	And, O foremost of kings, eulogised like a monarch by the best of the Brahmanas blessing with victory, that lord of men Suyodhana, Dhritarashtra's son, receiving honours paid with innumerable joined palms, and flaming in exceeding splendour, went in the front, accompanied by Karna, and that gambler, the son of Suvala.
Mbh.3.251.12413	Having been thus addressed by Bhishma, Dhritarashtra's son the king, laughed a good deal, and then suddenly sailed out with the son of Suvala.
Mbh.3.252.12477	Ever since that time, O monarch, O Bharata, king Duryodhana and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, thought that Pritha's sons had already been defeated in battle by Karna
Mbh.3.253.12504	Having been thus addressed by those Brahmanas, Dhritarashtra's son, the king, spake these words to Karna, his brothers and the son of Suvala, Beyond doubt, the words of the Brahmanas are entirely liked by me.
Mbh.3.263.12883	The dark and handsome young man, the scourge of his enemies, standing at the edge of that tank, is the son of Suvala of the race of Ikshwaku.
Mbh.5.1.14	And Krishna said, It is known to you all, how this Yudhishthira was deceitfully defeated at dice by the son of Suvala, and how he was robbed of his kingdom and how a stipulation was made by him concerning his exile in the forest.
Mbh.5.26.1096	They are Dussasana, and Sakuni the son of Suvala, and Karna the Suta's son!
Mbh.5.47.2658	And Dussasana and Chitrasena, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Durmukha and Dussaha, Karna and Uluka and Vivingsati, these also, with Duryodhana, the wrathful king of the Kurus, at their head, entered that hall, O monarch, like the celestials forming the train of Sakra himself.
Mbh.5.49.2821	Thou art alone in holding as true the opinion, O bull of the Bharata race, only three persons, viz, Karna, a low-born Suta's son cursed by Rama, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and thy mean and sinful brother Dussasana'
Mbh.5.57.3165	And the heroic son of Madri, Sahadeva, who setteth up terrible roars in battle, hath intended to take as his share thy brother-in-law, the son of Suvala.
Mbh.5.58.3217	Alas, thou dost not seek it of thy own will, but it is Karna and the evil-minded Dussasana and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, that are leading thee to it'
Mbh.5.66.3430	O Sanjaya, our grandsire, the son of Santanu, and Dhritarashtra, and Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and king Vahlika, and Drona's son, and Somadatta, and Sakuni the son of Suvala; and Dussasana, and Sala, and Purumitra, and Vivingsati; Vikarna, and Chitrasena, and king Jayatsena, and Vinda and Anuvinda, the two chiefs of Avanti, and Bhurisravas, and king Bhagadatta, and king Jarasandha and other rulers of the earth, assembled there to fight for the good of the Kauravas, are all on the eve of death.
Mbh.5.91.4280	And he also beheld there Dussasana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, seated on their respective seats by the side of Duryodhana.
Mbh.5.101.4729	They are Sumukha, Sunaman, Sunetra, Suvarchas, Suanch and that prince of birds called Suvala.
Mbh.5.128.5683	Binding in the same way Duryodhana and Karna and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Dussasana, make them over to the Pandavas.
Mbh.5.148.6665	Then the daughter of king Suvala, alarmed at the prospect of the destruction of a whole race, said, from wrath, these words fraught with virtue and profit, to cruel Duryodhana of wicked heart, in the presence of the assembled monarchs, Let all the kings present in this royal assembly and let the regenerate Rishis that form the other members of this conclave, listen to me as I proclaim the guilt of thy sinful self backed by all thy counsellors.
Mbh.5.155.6866	Thou, O Vasudeva, art acquainted with the views of Duryodhana, Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala.
Mbh.5.155.6879	Indeed, all of them follow Duryodhana, except Vidura, O thou of unfading glory, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Karna, and Dussasana, all equally foolish, gave foolish and vindictive Duryodhana much improper advice regarding thee.
Mbh.5.156.6932	And placing an Akshauhini of troops under each of those best of men, viz, Kripa, Drona, Salya, Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas, Kritavarman, Drona's son Aswatthaman, Karna, Bhurisravas, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and the mighty Vahlika, the king used to bring them daily before him and at all hours, and speak to them.
Mbh.5.161.7086	And king Duryodhana having strongly posted his troops and paid homage to all the kings on his side and planted outposts and bodies of soldiers for the protection of warriors, summoned those rulers of men, viz, Karna and Dussasana and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and began O Bharata, to consult with them.
Mbh.6.9.490	On the other hand, it is Duryodhana that is covetous, and Sakuni the son of Suvala, as also many other Kshatriyas who are rulers of the provinces, who being covetous of this country are not able to bear one another.
Mbh.6.14.775	Duryodhana and Karna and the deceitful Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Dussasana also, what did they say when Bhishma was slain?
Mbh.6.71.3808	Then, O king, with many huge and fleet steeds of the Kamvoja breed, and surrounded by many thousand of Gopas with a large Gopayana force and supported by the Madras, the Sauviras, the Gandharas and the Trigartas, and surrounded by all the principal Kalingas, the king of the Kalingas, and king Jayadratha accompanied by all the kings and supported by a large force of diverse races with Dussasana at their head, and fourteen thousand principal horsemen, urged by thy son, surrounded the son of Suvala for supporting him.
Mbh.6.91.4752	SECTION XCI Sanjaya said, During the progress, O king, of that fierce battle fraught with the slaughter of great heroes, Sakuni the glorious son of Suvala, rushed against the Pandavas.
Mbh.6.91.4787	Beholding that their own warriors were thus overthrown by Iravat's division, those sons of Suvala being unable to beat it coolly, all rushed at Iravat and surrounded him on all sides.
Mbh.6.91.4792	And that chastiser of foes, tearing those lances from off his body, struck with them the sons of Suvala in battle.
Mbh.6.91.4794	The sons of Suvala, however, recovering their senses, once more rushed at Iravat, excited with wrath.
Mbh.6.91.4796	Moving as he did with great activity, the sons of Suvala, although they moved about on their fleet steeds, could not find an opportunity for striking that hero on foot.
Mbh.6.97.5132	Alas, for Duryodhana's, fault, and also of Sakuni the son of Suvala, as also through the evil counsels of Karna, the Kshatriya race is being exterminated, O slayer of Madhu, I now understand, O mighty-armed one, that the king acted wisely by begging of Suyodhana only half the kingdom, or, instead, only five villages.
Mbh.6.98.5197	SECTION XCVIII Sanjaya said, Then king Duryodhana, and Sakuni the son of Suvala, and thy son Dussasana, and the invincible Suta's son Karna meeting together, consulted in the following way.
Mbh.7.28.1452	Arjuna then with sharp shafts cut off the steeds and driver and bow and umbrella and standard and car of Vrishaka, the son of Suvala, into atoms.
Mbh.7.83.3695	Who else, again, is there, save Duryodhana, and Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and Duhsasana as their fourth, for I do not see the fifth that would venture to resist my foes while the latter display their celestial weapons?
Mbh.7.93.4296	Struck with countless straight shafts, the son of Suvala fled towards the division of Drona, borne by his swift steeds.
Mbh.7.153.8144	Sanjaya continued, Having said those words unto Aswatthaman, he then addressed the son of Suvala, saying, Dhananjaya is engaged in battle surrounded by a hundred thousand car-warriors of great valour.
Mbh.7.160.8675	And Drona's son and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, placed themselves on the right and the left flanks.
Mbh.7.162.8765	Sakuni, the son of Suvala, O king, proceeding quickly, resisted that foremost of warriors, viz, Nakula, who was conversant with every kind of battle.
Mbh.7.184.10081	Then Duryodhana and Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, covered Kunti's son, Dhananjaya, with showers of shafts.
Mbh.7.184.10121	Duryodhana, and Karna, and Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and the uterine brothers of Duryodhana stationed, according to their precedence, began to protect Drona in battle.
Mbh.14.71.3126	Those foremost ones of Bharata's race, O chief of kings, then paid their respectful salutations to Gandhari, the daughter of Suvala and to Kunti, They next worshipped their uncle Vidura and met Yuyutsu, the son of Dhritarashtra by his Vaisya wife.
Mbh.15.1.31	Kunti, and Draupadi, and she of the Sattwata race, possessed of great fame, and Ulupi, the daughter of the snake chief, and queen Chitrangada, and the sister of Dhrishtaketu, and the daughter of Jarasandha, these and many other ladies, O chief of men, used to wait upon the daughter of Suvala like maids of all work.
Mbh.15.18.742	Thus addressed by her lord, the daughter of Suvala repeated unto Kunti all those words of the old king and added her own words of grave import.
