Mbh.8.38.2008 | If that does not satisfy the person that discovers Arjuna to me, I shall make him a more valuable gift, viz, fourteen Vaishya villages, teeming with people, full of wealth, situated in the proximity of forests and rivers, free from all sorts of danger, well furnished with other necessaries, and worthy of being enjoyed by kings. |
Mbh.8.41.2150 | There lived on the other side of the ocean a Vaishya who had abundance of wealth and corn. |
Mbh.8.41.2154 | There was a crow that lived on the refuse of the dishes set before those well-behaved young children of the Vaishya. |
Mbh.8.41.2155 | Those Vaishya children always gave the crow meat and curds, and milk, and sugared milk with rice, and honey, and butter. |
Mbh.8.41.2156 | Thus fed with the refuse of their dishes by the young children of that Vaishya, the crow became arrogant and came to disregard all birds that were equal to him or even superior. |
Mbh.8.41.2158 | The Vaishya boys, beholding those swans, addressed the crow and said, O ranger of the skies, thou art superior to all winged creatures' |
Mbh.8.41.2228 | Indeed, even, as that crow, fed upon the remains of the dinners of the Vaishya children, disregarded his equals and superiors, so dost thou, O Karna, that art fed by the sons of Dhritarashtra upon the remains of their dishes, disregard all thy equals and superiors. |
Mbh.8.45.2420 | Indeed, a Vahika would, after that, become a Vaishya, and then a Shudra, and then a barber. |
Mbh.8.47.2623 | That battle fraught with great slaughter and destructive of body, life and sins, became conducive to fame, heaven, and virtue, in respect of the Kshatriya, the Vaishya, and the Shudra heroes that were engaged in it. |
Mbh.11.26.1066 | A woman of the regenerate class bears children for the practice of austerities; the cow brings forth offspring for bearing burdens; the mare brings forth her young for acquiring speed of motion; the Shudra woman bears a child for adding to the number of servitors; the Vaishya woman for adding to the number of keepers of cattle. |
