Mbh.3.191.9745 | If indeed Vami horses had been yoked to thy car, then couldst thou have taken it' |
Mbh.3.191.9746 | Thereupon the king addressed his charioteer, saying, Tell me all about Vami horses, otherwise I will slay thee' Thus addressed the charioteer became dreadfully alarmed and he was afraid of the king and also of Vamadeva's curse and told not the king anything and the king then lifting up his scimitar said to him, Tell me soon, else I will slay thee' |
Mbh.3.191.9747 | At last afraid of the king, the charioteer said, The Vami horses are those belonging to Vamadeva; they are fleet as the mind' |
Mbh.3.191.9750 | It behoveth thee to make it capable of being seized by me by granting me thy pair of Vami horses' |
Mbh.3.191.9751 | The Rishi then answered him saying, I give thee my pair of Vami horses. |
Mbh.3.191.9752 | But after accomplishing thy object, my Vami pair you should soon return' |
Mbh.3.191.9753 | The king then taking those steeds and obtaining the leave of the Rishi pursued the deer, having yoked the Vami pair unto his car, and after he had left the asylum he spoke unto his charioteer saying, These jewels of steeds the Brahmanas do not deserve to possess. |
Mbh.3.191.9759 | And reflecting in this strain, the Rishi said unto a disciple of his, after the expiration of a month, Go, O Atreya, and say to the king that if he has done with the Vami steeds, he should return them unto thy preceptor' |
Mbh.3.191.9764 | And Atreya, thus addressed by the king, returned and told his preceptor all that had happened, and hearing this sad intelligence, Vamadeva's heart was filled with wrath, and repairing in person to the king he asked him for his steeds, and the king refused to give the Rishi what the latter asked, and Vamadeva said, O lord of earth, give me thou my Vami horses. |
Mbh.3.191.9775 | This pair of Vami horses, however, deserves to be owned by Kshatriyas. |
Mbh.3.191.9780 | Then Vamadeva answered, O king, having obtained these my Vami steeds, thou hadst said, I will return them' |
Mbh.3.191.9781 | Therefore, give me back my Vami steeds, so thou mayst be able to protect thy life' |
Mbh.3.191.9787 | Markandeya continued, After Vamadeva had said this, there arose, O king, four Rakshasas of terrible mien, and as they, with lances in their hands, approached the king for slaying him, the latter cried aloud, saying, If, O Brahmana, all the descendants of Ikshvaku's race, if my brother Dala, if all these Vaisyas acknowledge my sway, then I will not yield up the Vami steeds to Vamadeva, for these men can never be virtuous' |
Mbh.3.191.9790 | If thou fearest sin, O king, give me now the Vami steeds without delay' |
Mbh.3.191.9811 | And thereupon king Dala became highly glad and gave unto the Muni his Vami steeds, having bowed down unto him with reverence |
