Mbh.1.63.3053 | And the god Vasava is worshipped in due form with such garlands and ornaments. |
Mbh.1.88.4861 | Yayati answered, O Vasava, I do not, in the matter of ascetic austerities, behold my equal among men, the celestials, the Gandharvas, and the great Rishis' |
Mbh.1.94.5152 | And in prowess he was like unto Vasava amongst the celestials. |
Mbh.1.123.6625 | Thus addressed by Vasava the king of the celestials, the virtuous king of the Kuru race, well-recollecting those words, said unto Kunti, O fortunate one, thy vow hath become successful. |
Mbh.1.227.11120 | And Vasava, the chief of the celestials soon covering the sky with masses of clouds of every kind began to shower upon the burning forest. |
Mbh.1.229.11200 | Know from my words, O Vasava, that Vasudeva and Arjuna are incapable of being vanquished in battle by any one! |
Mbh.1.229.11205 | Therefore, O Vasava, it behoveth thee to go hence with all the celestials. |
Mbh.2.6.308 | And who also upon Vasava, the Lord of the celestials and upon Yama, the son of Vivaswana? |
Mbh.2.23.1057 | And, O monarch, the mighty Bhima and Jarasandha fought terribly on in those lists, driving the crowd at times by the motions of their hands like Vritra and Vasava of old. |
Mbh.2.24.1097 | The car upon which Krishna rode had been obtained by king Vasu from Vasava, and from Vasu by Vrihadratha, and from the latter in due course by king Jarasandha. |
Mbh.2.43.1726 | Praise thou, O Bhishma, this Karna, the ruler of the territories of Anga and Vanga, who is equal in strength unto him of a thousand eyes, who draweth a large bow, who endued with mighty arms owneth celestial ear-rings of heavenly make with which he was born and this coat of mail possessing the splendour of the rising sun, who vanquished in a wrestling encounter the invincible Jarasandha equal unto Vasava himself, and who tore and mangled that monarch. |
Mbh.2.49.2055 | Indeed, Vidura knoweth with all its mysteries the science of political morality that the illustrious and learned and wise Vrihaspati, the celestial Rishi who is the spiritual guide of Vasava, had unfolded unto the wise chief of the immortals. |
Mbh.3.9.449 | The one that is the stronger of the pair is bearing his burthen of greater weight with ease, but, O Vasava, the other is lean, and weak and is a mass of veins and arteries! |
Mbh.3.9.452 | See, O Vasava, sore inflicted with the whip, and harassed exceedingly, he is unable to bear his burthen. |
Mbh.3.12.715 | Then a dreadful combat took place between Bhimasena and Hidimva, both skilled in all weapons and which was like unto the encounter of Vasava with Vritra. |
Mbh.3.16.838 | And, O monarch, the encounter between Charudeshna and Vivindhya was as fierce as that in days of yore between Vritra and Vasava! |
Mbh.3.17.863 | And the people beheld the fight between Salwa and the foremost of Vrishni heroes, which was even like unto the encounter between Vasava with Vali. |
Mbh.3.36.1875 | I think they are incapable of being vanquished even by gods led by Vasava himself. |
Mbh.3.39.2095 | That terrible conflict of blows, resembling the conflict of yore between Vritra and Vasava, lasted but for a moment. |
Mbh.3.45.2338 | SECTION XLV Vaisampayana said, One day, knowing that Arjuna's glances were cast upon Urvasi, Vasava, calling Chitrasena to himself, addressed him in private saying, O king of Gandharvas, I am pleased; go thou as my messenger to that foremost of Apsaras, Urvasi, and let her wait upon that tiger among men, Phalguna. |
Mbh.3.45.2340 | Thus addressed by Indra, the chief of the Gandharvas in obedience to that command of Vasava, soon went to Urvasi that foremost of Apsaras. |
Mbh.3.47.2435 | And he beheld the son of Pandu occupying half of the seat of Vasava. |
Mbh.3.82.4067 | By bathing there, one soon acquireth the region of Vasava, and his soul being cleansed from every sin, he attaineth to a high state of blessedness. |
Mbh.3.85.4724 | Thou who resemblest Vasava, thou wilt, O Bhishma, attain to the region of the Vasus, and also eternal fame on earth' |
Mbh.3.92.4948 | Who can be more fortunate than he who hath been favoured with thy company, who hath Dhananjaya for a brother, and who is thought of by Vasava himself? |
Mbh.3.156.7882 | Madri's son, Sahadeva, was speaking thus, when Bhimasena made his appearance, with a mace in his hand, like unto Vasava himself wielding the thunder-bolt. |
Mbh.3.156.7920 | Having slain Jatasura, Bhima presented himself before Yudhishthira, and the foremost Brahmanas began to eulogise him Bhima even as the Marutas eulogise Vasava |
Mbh.3.159.8060 | In Khandava thy high-souled brother, firm in promise, had baffled Gandharvas and Nagas and Vasava himself, and slain fierce Rakshasas, and also obtained the bow Gandiva. |
Mbh.3.167.8446 | Thereupon, that best of bestowers gladly offered unto me half of his seat; and Vasava also with regard touched my person. |
Mbh.3.222.11250 | Vasava addressed then that Asura saying, Why art thou bent on behaving insolently to this lady? |
Mbh.3.222.11257 | Vasava cut it up in its course with his thunderbolt. |
Mbh.3.225.11380 | Markandeya continued, The celestials having heard of the prowess of Skanda, all said to Vasava, O Sakra, do thou kill Skanda without delay for his prowess is unbearable. |
Mbh.3.226.11405 | O Partha, the mighty Vasava, the lord of the celestials, then uttered a loud shout, to encourage his warriors and marching rapidly with the view of killing Agnis' son and praised by Tridasas and great Rishis, he at length reached the abode of Kartikeya. |
Mbh.3.229.11507 | Being told by Skanda to speak it out, Vasava said, The lady Abhijit, the younger sister of Rohini, being jealous of her seniority, has repaired to the woods to perform austerities. |
Mbh.3.235.11900 | Surrounded by the Kurus, O king, like Yama by the Rudra, or Vasava by the Maruts, thou shinest, O monarch, like the Moon among the stars! |
Mbh.3.286.13970 | Slaying my enemies with all their army by means of thy keen-edged shafts, enhance my joy to-day, O son, as thou didst once before by vanquishing Vasava' |
Mbh.3.300.14801 | Then Radha's son, that slayer of hostile heroes, knowing all about the matter, and desirous of obtaining the dart, remained in expectation of Vasava |
Mbh.3.308.15093 | Vaisampayana continued, Hearing these words of Indra, Karna was filled with delight and seeing that his purpose was about to be accomplished he approached Vasava, and intent upon obtaining a dart incapable of being baffled, he addressed Indra, saying, Do thou, O Vasava, in exchange for my coat of mail and ear-rings, give me a dart incapable of being baffled, and competent to destroy hosts of enemies when arrayed in order of battle' |
Mbh.3.308.15094 | Thereupon, O ruler of earth, fixing his mind for a moment on the dart for bringing it there, Vasava thus spake unto Karna, Do thou give me thy ear-rings, and the coat of mail born with thy body, and in return take this dart on these terms! |
Mbh.3.308.15114 | And Karna cutting off the excellent mail from his person, gave it to Vasava, still dripping. |
Mbh.4.49.1914 | Aided by our troops arrayed in ranks, ourselves, great bowmen, standing carefully will fight with Arjuna even as the Danavas encounter Vasava in battle |
Mbh.4.54.2068 | And struck in battle by Partha, the son of Vasava, those well-dressed heroes among men, those givers of wealth endued with the energy of Vasava, defeated and deprived of life, began to measure their lengths on the ground, like full-grown Himalayan elephants clad in mails of black steel decked with gold. |
Mbh.4.56.2163 | And there appeared on the scene three and thirty gods with Vasava at their head, and many Gandharvas and Rakshasas and Nagas and Pitris, together with the great Rishis. |
Mbh.4.58.2263 | And the fierce and terrible encounter that took place between the illustrious Drona and Arjuna resembled that between Virata and Vasava of old. |
Mbh.4.58.2277 | And, O bull of the Bharata race, the encounter that took place between Drona and Kunti's son was dreadful in the extreme and resembled that between Vali and Vasava. |
Mbh.4.59.2299 | And they shot arrows at each other like Virata and Vasava. |
Mbh.5.50.2878 | He that is the refuge of the Pandavas, even as Vasava is of the celestials, with that Vasudeva, the Pandavas will fight against you. |
Mbh.5.55.3056 | Even Vasava himself is not capable of vanquishing my vast host. |
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.5.83.3980 | And Vasishtha and Vamadeva, and Bhuridyumna and Gaya, and Kratha and Sukra and Kusika and Bhrigu, and other Brahmarshis and celestial Rishis united together, all stood on the right side of Krishna, that delighter of the Yadavas, that younger brother of Vasava. |
Mbh.5.90.4193 | O Krishna, that Arjuna of two arms who always regardeth himself as superior to his namesake of old with thousand arms, and who at one stretch shooteth five hundred arrows, that son of Pandu who in the use of weapons is equal unto king Kartavirya, in energy unto Aditya, in restraint of senses unto a great sage, in forgiveness unto the Earth, and in prowess unto Indra himself, he, by whose prowess, O slayer of Madhu, the Kurus amongst all the kings of the earth have obtained this extensive empire, blazing with effulgence, he, whose strength of arms is always adored by the Pandavas, that son of Pandu, who is the foremost of all car-warriors and whose prowess is incapable of being frustrated, he, from an encounter with whom in battle no foe ever escapeth with life, he, O Achyuta, who is the conqueror of all, but who is incapable of being conquered by any, he, who is the refuge of the Pandavas like Vasava of the celestials, how, O Kesava, is that Dhananjaya now, that brother and friend of thine? |
Mbh.5.91.4324 | Indeed, from that food he first gave a portion, along with much wealth, unto a number of Brahmanas conversant with the Vedas, and then with his attendants, like Vasava in the midst of the Marutas, he dined on what remained of the clean and savoury food supplied by Vidura |
Mbh.5.99.4685 | Deprived of their prosperity by Vasava, it is here that many sinful Danavas live confined, defeated by him and afflicted by Time. |
Mbh.5.104.4798 | It has been seen in every battle that small is the difference that exists between him and Vasava as regards prowess and strength. |
Mbh.5.104.4800 | Vanquished by his management of the steeds, the enemies of the gods are subjugated by Vasava by the use of his hands. |
Mbh.5.104.4808 | Let Gunakesi, therefore be accepted by thee for thy grandson, like Sachi for Vasava who deserveth her. |
Mbh.5.104.4830 | Let Matali, and Narada, and Sumukha, O Vasava, all attain their cherished wish through thy grace' |
Mbh.5.105.4840 | And inflamed with great anger, that ranger of the firmament, Suparna, smiting the three worlds by the hurricane caused by the flappings of his wings, quickly came to Vasava. |
Mbh.5.105.4847 | Dost thou sport thus, O Vasava, as thou listest? |
Mbh.5.105.4849 | That will, I think, gratify thee, O Vasava! |
Mbh.5.105.4852 | O monarch of the three worlds, Vishnu, however, is not the only cause of my inferiority, for though, O Vasava, I am quite thy equal, yet the sovereignty of the three worlds resteth on thee, O chief of the celestials. |
Mbh.5.105.4863 | When, however, disregarding me thou hast interfered with my foods, thou hast, O Vasava, inflicted disgrace on me, like this younger brother of thine that had hitherto been disgracing me by making me bear him on my back. |
Mbh.5.111.5072 | Except by Nara and Narayana, he is incapable of being seen by the diverse classes of Munis, the gods with Vasava at their head, the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, and the Siddhas. |
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.5.130.5777 | Alas, united together they desire to vanquish this younger brother of Vasava, and seize this lotus-eyed one. |
Mbh.5.130.5796 | Like a child wishing to have the moon, seekest thou, O fool, to do what cannot be done by the very gods, headed by Vasava with all their strength? |
Mbh.5.146.6527 | Having provoked hostilities with others, they always wait on me respectfully, and always bow down to me, as the Vasus bow down to Vasava. |
Mbh.5.151.6772 | After the two sons of Madri had thus expressed their individual opinions, Vasava's son, Savyasachin, who was equal to Vasava himself, said these words, This celestial person of the hue of fire and endued with mighty arms, who sprang into life through the power of ascetic penances and the gratification of sages; who issued from the sacrificial fire-hole armed with bow and sword, accoutred in armour of steel, mounted on a car unto which were yoked excellent steeds of the best breed, and the clatter of whose car-wheels was as deep as the roar of mighty masses of clouds; this hero endued with that energy and strength and resembling the very lion in his frame of body and prowess, and possessed of leonine shoulders, arms, chest, and voice like the lion's roar; this hero of great effulgence; this warrior of handsome brows, fine teeth, round cheeks, long arms, of stout make, excellent thighs, large expansive eyes, excellent legs, and strong frame; this prince who is incapable of being penetrated by weapons of any kind, and who looks like an elephant with rent temples; this Dhrishtadyumna, truthful in speech, and with passions under control, was born for the destruction of Drona. |
Mbh.5.157.6949 | Like the sun among all luminaries, like the moon unto all delicious herbs, like Kuvera among the Yakshas, like Vasava among the gods, like Meru among mountains, Suparna among the birds, Kumara among the gods, Havyavaha among Vasus, thou art amongst ourselves. |
Mbh.5.158.6996 | And surrounded and guarded by those foremost warriors of the Vrishni race, resembling a herd of mighty tigers, like Vasava in the midst of the Maruts, the mighty-armed and handsome Rama, attired in garments of blue silk and resembling the peak of the Kailasa mountain, and endued with the sportive gait of the lion and possessed of eyes having their ends reddened with drink, came there at such a time. |
Mbh.5.168.7623 | Skilled in fight from the elephant's neck, this king will fight in battle, like Vasava among the celestials, fighting from his Airavata |
Mbh.5.181.8111 | O thou of high vows, I would not, even from fear of Vasava, forsake duty! |
Mbh.6.11.593 | The rivers there are full of sacred water, and Ganga herself, distributed as she hath been into various currents, is there, Sukumari, and Kumari, and Seta, and Keveraka, and Mahanadi, O Kauravya, and the river Manijala, and Chakshus, and the river Vardhanika, O thou best of the Bharatas, these and many other rivers by thousands and hundreds, all full of sacred water, are there, O perpetuator of Kuru's race, from which Vasava draweth water for showering it as rain. |
Mbh.6.14.704 | How did my father, who resembled Vasava himself, fall down from his car? |
Mbh.6.34.1590 | I am the Sama Veda among the Vedas; I am Vasava among the gods; I am the mind among the senses; I am the intellect in living beings. |
Mbh.6.48.2470 | And those two high-souled and mighty warriors then, both blazing with their arrows, battled with each other like Vritra and Vasava of old, desirous, O king, of slaying each other. |
Mbh.6.53.2760 | The son of Pandu is incapable of being vanquished by the very gods with Vasava. |
Mbh.6.58.3076 | The Pandavas are incapable of being vanquished in battle by the very gods with Vasava amongst them. |
Mbh.6.59.3178 | Beholding that those foremost of kings were flying together from the field of battle, and marking the mildness with which Partha fought, and beholding also that Bhishma was exerting himself very powerfully in battle, and that the Kurus were rushing from all sides, the younger brother of Vasava, the high-souled protector of all the Dasarhas, unable to bear it all, addressed the renowned grandson of Sini, and applauding him, said, O hero of Sini's race, they that are retreating, are, indeed, retreating. |
Mbh.6.77.4070 | Behold me slaying the foe like Vasava slaying the Danavas' |
Mbh.6.82.4261 | The Pandavas are incapable of being vanquished by the very gods with Vasava. |
Mbh.6.89.4706 | As regards the Pandavas, they are incapable of being vanquished by the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.6.91.4812 | And when the forces of both perished, both of them, invincible in battle, encountered each other like Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.6.97.5125 | And addressing Vasava in the midst of battle, he said these words, Without doubt, the high-souled Vidura of great wisdom had before seen with his mind's eye this awful destruction of the Kurus and the Pandavas. |
Mbh.6.97.5143 | Then, O king, thy sons, surrounding Drona like the Vasus surrounding Vasava, rushed in the battle against Bhimasena. |
Mbh.6.98.5227 | And his brothers also walked in his train, like the celestials walking behind Vasava. |
Mbh.6.99.5271 | The son of Pritha defeated in battle the Nivatakavachas who were incapable of defeat by Vasava himself. |
Mbh.6.101.5377 | That mighty car-warrior and great bowman, having struck all the foes of the Pandavas, looked at that moment like Vasava himself armed with the thunder. |
Mbh.6.101.5385 | Routing that large army and causing many mighty car-warriors to tremble, he gladdened his friends like Vasava gladdening the celestials after vanquishing Maya. |
Mbh.6.101.5415 | Then the battle that took place between him and the cannibal resembled that between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.6.111.6041 | Vasava himself cannot venture to fight with Arjuna in battle. |
Mbh.6.112.6121 | Encountering each other with great vigour, the battle that took place between them for Bhishma's sake was as fierce as that between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.6.113.6165 | Capable of shooting his arrows to a great distance and shooting them with force, he is, besides, acquainted with omens, Endued with great might and intelligence, and above fatigue, that foremost of warriors is incapable of defeat by the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.6.117.6377 | Verily, O scorcher of foes, the battle, for Bhishma's sake, that took place between them, both excited with rage and both conversant with every mode of fight, was like the encounter of Vali and Vasava in days of old on the occasion of the battle between the gods and the Asuras. |
Mbh.7.6.186 | Protect thou, therefore, ourselves, like Vasava protecting the celestials. |
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.7.7.225 | Indeed, Karna is quite competent to vanquish in battle the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.7.7.253 | Slaughtered by Drona, like Danavas by Vasava, the Panchalas headed by Dhrishtadyumna trembled in that battle. |
Mbh.7.25.1347 | Seeing that feat of Partha resembling that of Vasava himself, Madhava wondered much and, addressing him with joined hands, said, Verily, O Partha, I think that this feat which thou hast achieved, could not be performed by Sakra, or Yama, or the Lord of treasures himself. |
Mbh.7.26.1362 | Then advancing fiercely towards thy division, scattering showers of arrows, like Vasava pouring rain, none among thy troops, O king, ventured to oppose. |
Mbh.7.26.1377 | The valiant son of Vasava, however, with his arrows, cut off those arrowy showers of Bhagadatta before they could reach him. |
Mbh.7.28.1486 | Indeed, as Arjuna came, scattering clouds of arrows, like Vasava pouring thick showers of rain, there was none in thy army who could resist that great fierce bowman, that tiger among men. |
Mbh.7.39.1977 | Equal to Vasava himself in battle, that son of Vasava's son viz, Abhimanyu, looked resplendent in the midst of the hostile army |
Mbh.7.60.2721 | Then Vasava said, Let the child suck my fingers' Thereupon from the fingers of Indra issued milk sweet as nectar. |
Mbh.7.61.2742 | Having performed various sacrifices and virtuously begotten excellent offspring upon his wives Devayani, the daughter of Usanas and Sarmishtha, king Yayati, who was like unto a celestial, roved through the celestial woods at his own pleasure, like a second Vasava. |
Mbh.7.75.3261 | Understanding that both Nara and Narayana were in rage, the gods with Vasava became very anxious thinking, What will come of it' |
Mbh.7.77.3354 | How, indeed, will that slayer of hostile heroes, that son of Vasava, that mighty-armed warrior, accomplish his vow? |
Mbh.7.85.3761 | There the very gods with Vasava at their head will not be able to attack thee, what need be said, therefore, of the Pandavas? |
Mbh.7.86.3798 | Then, like the Destroyer himself in wrath, or Vasava himself armed with the thunder, or Death's irresistible self armed with his club and urged on by Time, or Mahadeva armed with the trident and incapable of being ruffled, or Varuna bearing his noise, or the blazing fire at the end of the Yuga risen for consuming the creation, the slayer of the Nivatakavachas inflamed with rage and swelling with might, the ever-victorious Jaya, devoted to truth and desirous of achieving his great vow, clad in mail and armed with sword, decked in golden diadem, adorned with garlands of swords of white flowers and attired in white robes, his arms decked with beautiful Angadas and ears with excellent ear-rings, mounted on his own foremost of cars, the incarnate Nara, accompanied by Narayana, shaking his Gandiva in battle, shone brilliantly like the risen sun. |
Mbh.7.89.3978 | Then, king Srutayudha, deprived of his senses by wrath, took up another bow and struck the son of Vasava with nine arrows on the latter's arms and chest. |
Mbh.7.95.4379 | Beholding that lightness of hand equal unto that of Vasava himself, that foremost of regenerate ones, that first of all persons conversant with weapons, was highly gratified with Madhava. |
Mbh.7.95.4380 | And the gods also, with Vasava at their head, were gratified with it. |
Mbh.7.97.4476 | That slayer of hostile heroes, however, viz, the son of Vasava, of virtuous soul, felt no anxiety whatever. |
Mbh.7.106.4955 | The Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, then, that foremost of mighty beings, having thus slain his foe, uttered a loud shout, like Vasava after slaying the Asura Vala. |
Mbh.7.109.5226 | After those steeds, adorned with trappings of gold, had been yoked to that car, the younger brother of Daruka, who was the charioteer and the dear friend of Satyaki, came and represented unto the latter that the car had been duly equipped, like Matali representing the equipment of the car unto Vasava himself. |
Mbh.7.114.5571 | The encounter that then took place between Drona and Satwata in the very sight of all the troops was extremely fierce, like that between Vali and Vasava in days of old. |
Mbh.7.115.5621 | And both thy warriors and the Somakas, O king highly applauded the encounter as between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.7.116.5657 | Satyaki said, Like Vasava destroying the Danavas, I shall slay these warriors with shaved heads. |
Mbh.7.130.6489 | Indeed, O son, the Pandavas are incapable of being vanquished by the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.7.143.7417 | Truly, O Arjuna, there is nothing in the three worlds which thou canst not achieve or do, O son of Vasava' |
Mbh.7.144.7485 | The latter hath with him the blazing dart, like a fierce meteor, that Vasava gave him. |
Mbh.7.148.7779 | When I saw Bhishma himself, that achiever of the most difficult feats in battle, that warrior who was incapable of being slain in battle by the gods with Vasava at their head, slain in thy sight, O Kaurava, as also of thy younger brother Duhsasana, I thought then, O king, that the Earth hath abandoned thee. |
Mbh.7.155.8284 | I will slay the son of Pandu and all the assembled Panchalas, I will give thee victory, like Pavaka's son giving victory unto Vasava. |
Mbh.7.155.8347 | It is true also that the Parthas are incapable of being vanquished by the very gods with Vasava at their head, and the Daityas, the Yakshas, and the Rakshasas. |
Mbh.7.155.8348 | For all that I will vanquish the Parthas with the help of the dart given me by Vasava. |
Mbh.7.156.8494 | The very gods with Vasava at their head are incapable of staying within the range of thy weapons, what need be said then of the Parthas and the Panchalas? |
Mbh.7.157.8571 | Beholding those feats of Drona's son, resembling those of Vasava himself in battle, the Pandava host, O bull of Bharata race, began to tremble in fear. |
Mbh.7.165.8899 | The battle that took place between those two great bowmen resembled, O king, that between Vala and Vasava in days of yore. |
Mbh.7.168.9068 | The encounter then, that took place between mighty Satyaki and the industrious Karna, resembled, O king, that between Vali and Vasava in the days of yore. |
Mbh.7.171.9247 | The blazing dart, resembling a mighty meteor, given him by Vasava, is still with him, O thou of mighty arms, kept for thee with care, by the Suta's son. |
Mbh.7.173.9441 | Once more beholding that foremost of warriors, viz, Ghatotkacha, fearlessly approaching him, surrounded by a large number of Rakshasas that resembled lions and tigers and infuriated elephants in prowess, some riding on elephants, some on cars, and some on horseback, all armed with diverse weapons and clad in diverse kinds of mail and diverse kinds of ornaments; in fact, beholding Ghatotkacha surrounded by those fierce Rakshasas like Vasava by the Maruts, the mighty bowman Karna began to battle with him fiercely. |
Mbh.7.177.9669 | Therefore, slay this terrible Rakshas now with that dart given thee by Vasava. |
Mbh.7.178.9708 | Neither Vasava, nor Varuna the lord of the waters, nor Yama, could venture to approach him. |
Mbh.7.178.9721 | Deprived, however, of his armour as also of his car-rings, O son of Pandu, and divested also of the dart given him by Vasava, Karna is now like a man and no longer like a god. |
Mbh.7.180.9830 | He is the most celebrated amongst them, like Vasava amongst the gods. |
Mbh.7.181.9844 | Indeed, when you knew that dart could always slay one person in battle, and that it was incapable of being either borne or baffled by the very gods with Vasava at their head, why then, O Sanjaya, was it not hurled by Karna at Devaki's son, or Phalguna, while he was engaged with this in battle before' |
Mbh.7.181.9849 | Indeed, because his understanding was afflicted by destiny itself, it is for this that he did not, stupefied by the illusion of the gods, hurl that fatal dart of Vasava, though he had it in his hand, at Devaki's son, Krishna for his destruction or at Partha endued with prowess like Indra's, O lord' |
Mbh.7.181.9922 | Indeed, Ghatotkacha hath been slain by death himself making the dart of Vasava an instrument only. |
Mbh.7.184.10098 | While summoning the hostile army to battle, and looking like an elephant in rut, the enemy became perfectly hopeless of vanquishing him, like the Danavas hopeless of vanquishing Vasava. |
Mbh.7.188.10346 | Beholding the sons of Kunti afflicted with the shafts of Drona and inspired with fear, Kesava, endued with great intelligence and, devoted to their welfare, addressed Arjuna and said, This foremost of all bowmen is incapable of being ever vanquished by force in battle, by the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.7.191.10584 | Beholding the fall of Bharadwaja's son, which was like unto the dropping of the sun down upon the earth, or the drying up of the ocean, or the transplantation of Meru, or the defeat of Vasava, beholding that act, incapable of being quietly witnessed, the Kauravas, O king, fled away in fear, terror lending them greater speed. |
Mbh.7.194.10770 | It is evident that upon the fall of Drona, Vasava himself is approaching against us for the sake of the Kauravas. |
Mbh.7.199.11418 | Approaching him, all the gods with Vasava at their head, said, These terrible dwellers of the triple city have received boons from Brahma. |
Mbh.8.3.74 | Let the sons of Pandu behold today the prowess of both Ashvatthama and Karna resembling that of Vishnu and Vasava! |
Mbh.8.9.320 | He who, disregarding the fierce touch of the arrows shot from gandiva had addressed Krishna, saying, Thou hast no husbands now and glared at the Pandavas, he who, O Sanjaya, relying on the might of his own arms, had entertained no fear, for even a moment, of the Parthas with their sons and Janardana, he, I think, could not possibly meet with death at the hands of the very gods with Vasava at their head rushing against him in fury, what then need I say, O sire, of the Pandavas? |
Mbh.8.14.582 | All at once a fierce encounter ensued between them like to what had taken place between Vritra and Vasava in the battle between the gods and the Asuras of old |
Mbh.8.31.1434 | Against my car, the very gods with Vasava at their head will not dare advance. |
Mbh.8.37.1973 | If Yama, Varuna, Kuvera, and Vasava, with all their followers coming hither, unitedly protect the son of Pandu in this great battle, what need of many words, I will still vanquish him with them |
Mbh.8.42.2311 | Know this, O Shalya, that I would not take fright at Yama himself armed with his rod, or Varuna himself armed with his noose, or Kuvera himself armed with his mace, or Vasava himself armed with the thunderbolt, or at any other foe whatever that may approach for slaying me. |
Mbh.8.43.2335 | If all the gods themselves with Vasava would fight with me, I would not still feel any fear, what need be said then of my fears from Pritha and Keshava? |
Mbh.8.56.3250 | Repairing to that further wing which was protected by the Kambojas, Partha began to grind it forcibly with his arrows like Vasava grinding the Danavas. |
Mbh.8.65.3809 | Beholding that bull of tigers among men safe and sound, the two Krishnas became filled with joy, like the twin Ashvinis on seeing Vasava. |
Mbh.8.66.3825 | He was invincible in battle by the very gods with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.8.68.3938 | This son of thine that is born will have the prowess of Vasava himself! |
Mbh.8.72.4331 | No one, not even the gods with Vasava at their head, can slay the son of Radha, save thee, as I think. |
Mbh.8.73.4357 | Save thee, O tiger among men, who else is there, even if he resemble Vasava himself in prowess, that could vanquish king Bhagadatta? |
Mbh.8.73.4386 | Having obtained thee that art a tiger among men as his foe, that grandsire is now stretched on a bed of arrows, like Vritra when he obtained Vasava for his foe. |
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.8.88.5402 | the enemy and thy warriors stood their ground, encircling those two mighty car-warriors like the gods and the asuras standing around Vasava and Samvara. |
Mbh.8.92.5899 | Brave kings, who in energy, courage, and might, were equal to Kuvera or Yama or Vasava or the Lord of the waters, who were possessed of every merit, who were almost unslayable, and who were desirous of achieving thy object, have in battle been slain by the Pandavas. |
Mbh.8.94.6063 | Then riding on that car of theirs whose rattle resembled the roar of the clouds and whose splendour was like that of the meridian sun of the autumnal sky, which was adorned with banners and equipped with a standard incessantly producing an awful noise, whose effulgence resembled that of the snow or the Moon or the conch or the crystal, and whose steeds were like those of Indra himself, those two foremost of men, viz, the son of Pandu and the crusher of Keshi, whose energy resembled that of the great Indra, and who were adorned with gold and pearls and gems and diamonds and corals, and who were like fire or the sun in splendour, fearlessly careered over the field of battle with great speed, like Vishnu and Vasava mounted on the same chariot. |
Mbh.8.94.6071 | Casting off those arrows, those two mighty warriors, both endued with unrivalled prowess, surrounded by well-wishers and friends, happily entered their own encampment, like the lords Vasava and Vishnu duly invoked by sacrificial priests. |
Mbh.9.7.449 | Slay that warrior, O thou of mighty arms, like Vasava slaying the Asura Namuchi. |
Mbh.9.12.704 | Bhima, however, armed with his mighty mace, rushed impetuously towards Shalya who then looked like the blazing Yuga-fire, or the Destroyer armed with the noose, or the Kailasa mountain with its formidable crest, or Vasava with his thunder, or Mahadeva with his trident, or an infuriate elephant in the forest. |
Mbh.9.16.927 | They are counted as heroes incapable of being vanquished by Vasava himself. |
Mbh.9.20.1250 | While he shot his arrows in that battle and despatched hostile warriors to Yama's abode, neither the Kauravas nor the Pandavas could notice any lapses in him, even as the Daityas, O king, could not notice any in Vasava, the wielder of the thunder, in days of yore, while the latter was employed in crushing their divisions. |
Mbh.9.24.1653 | The battle that took place between the two was beautiful and fierce, like that which had occurred in days of yore between Vasava and the Asura Jambha, O lord! |
Mbh.9.41.2989 | Hear how Vasava, in days of yore, broke his treaty with Namuchi! |
Mbh.9.41.2990 | The Asura Namuchi, from fear of Vasava, had entered a ray of the Sun. |
Mbh.9.43.3108 | The gods then, with Vasava at their head, and the Gandharvas, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, the Munis, and the Pitris, all shouted, Victory to Skanda' |
Mbh.9.43.3114 | Vasava that slayer of hostile heroes, gave unto Agni's son two companions, Utkrosa and Panchaka, who were armed respectively with thunder-bolt and club. |
Mbh.9.44.3279 | All the gods, with Vasava at their head, praised Kumara. |
Mbh.9.45.3376 | Upon the disappearance of Agni, all the gods, with Vasava at their head, in great affliction, searched for the missing god. |
Mbh.9.45.3378 | The celestials, O tiger among king, with Brihaspati at their head, having succeeded in finding out the god, became very glad with Vasava amongst them. |
Mbh.9.47.3512 | There, in that tirtha situated on the bank of that river, all the gods with Vasava at their head, the Viswedevas, the Maruts, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Island-born Vyasa, Suka, Krishna the slayer of Madhu, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas, and the Pisachas, O king, and diverse others, numbering by thousands, all crowned with ascetic success, always reside. |
Mbh.9.53.3828 | Both of them were exceedingly angry; both were possessed of awful prowess; in encounters with the mace both were disciples of Rohini's intelligent son, both resembled each other in their feats and looked like Maya and Vasava. |
Mbh.9.55.3960 | Even thus occurred that battle, awfully and before the gaze of a large multitude, towards the close of the day, like the battle between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.9.55.3975 | Even thus progressed that awful combat before the gaze of thousands of spectators at the close of day, like the fierce battle that took place between Vritra and Vasava. |
Mbh.10.4.214 | No one, not even Vasava amongst the gods, would venture to vanquish thee armed with foremost of weapons, O first of car-warriors! |
Mbh.10.13.889 | Seated on that car, by the side of him of Dasharha's race who wielded the bow called sharnga, the two sons of Pandu looked exceedingly beautiful, like the twin Ashvinis seated by the side of Vasava. |
Mbh.12.46.2257 | Thus addressed, the illustrious younger brother of Vasava, recalling his mind, understanding, and the senses to their usual sphere, said these words with a soft smile' |
Mbh.12.50.2704 | By thy virtues, however, thou hast surpassed them all and art equal unto Vasava himself. |
Mbh.12.52.2831 | Surrounded by them, king Yudhishthira like the moon in the midst of the stars approached Ganga's son like Vasava proceeding towards Brahman. |
Mbh.12.90.5173 | This is the way in which Vasava, and Yama, and Varuna, and all the great royal sages have acted. |
Mbh.12.97.5418 | Beholding the prosperity of his general Sudeva, and observing how he traversed regions that were still higher, the high-souled Amvarisha, filled with surprise, addressed Vasava, in the following words' |
Mbh.12.97.5419 | Amvarisha said, Having duly governed the whole earth bounded by the seas, having from desire of earning religious merit practised all those duties that are common to the four orders as declared by the scriptures, having practised with rigid austerity all the duties of the Brahmacharya mode, having waited with dutiful obedience upon my preceptors and other reverend seniors, having studied with due observances the Vedas and the scriptures on kingly duties, having gratified guests with food and drink, the Pitris with offerings in Sraddhas, the Rishis with attentive study of the scriptures and with initiation under proper forms into the mysteries of religion, and the gods with many excellent and high sacrifices, having duly observed Kshatriya duties according to the injunctions of the scriptures, having cast my eyes fearlessly upon hostile troops, I won many victories in battle, O Vasava! |
Mbh.12.102.5705 | Once on a time, that slayer of hostile heroes, viz, Vasava, the chief of the celestials, joining his palms, approached Vrihaspati, and saluting him, said these words' |
Mbh.12.165.9888 | The latter gave it to Vasava. |
Mbh.12.165.9889 | Vasava gave it to the Regents of the world. |
Mbh.12.172.10309 | Hearing these words of his, Vasava, O foremost of men, sprinkled nectar over the Brahmana Gautama and restored him to life. |
Mbh.12.206.12517 | The puissant Vishnu made Vasava the chief of all the deities. |
Mbh.12.222.13448 | Bhishma said, In this connection is cited the old narrative of the discourse between Vasava and Virochana's son, Vali. |
Mbh.12.222.13449 | One day Vasava, after having subjugated all the Asuras, repaired to the Grandsire and joining his hands bowed to him and enquired after the whereabouts of Vali. |
Mbh.12.222.13470 | Thou shouldst, on the other hand, O Vasava, solicit instruction from him about morality, O Sakra, as thou pleasest' |
Mbh.12.222.13494 | Vali said, Thou seest not now, O Vasava, my jar and umbrella and fans. |
Mbh.12.223.13559 | Thou knowest this, O Vasava! |
Mbh.12.223.13585 | It was I that used to bear up water and then to shower it as rain, O Vasava! |
Mbh.12.223.13618 | Many thousands of Indras have passed away, O Vasava, each of whom was possessed of great strength and prowess. |
Mbh.12.224.13647 | I have other names also, O Vasava! |
Mbh.12.226.13766 | In this connection is once more cited the old narrative of the discourse between Vali and Vasava, O Yudhishthira! |
Mbh.12.226.13844 | It will stay with thee, O Vasava, for some time and then prove its instability. |
Mbh.12.226.13886 | It is for this reason, O Vasava, that thou art able to stand before me! |
Mbh.12.226.13897 | We also, O Vasava, know thee. |
Mbh.12.227.14127 | After the goddess had said so, the celestial Rishi Narada, and Vasava, the slayer of Vritra, for gladdening her, offered her a joyful welcome. |
Mbh.12.280.17264 | Bhishma continued, While Vasava of great energy was thus being restored to consciousness by the high-souled Vasishtha, his strength became greatly enhanced. |
Mbh.12.280.17269 | Then Vrihaspati of great intelligence and Vasishtha of exceeding energy, and all the other foremost of Rishis, repairing to Him of a hundred sacrifices, viz, the boon-giving Vasava, the adored of all the worlds, addressed him, saying, Slay Vritra, O puissant one, without delay' |
Mbh.12.280.17277 | I impart to thee my energy, O Vasava! |
Mbh.12.281.17365 | Regaining his prosperity and slaying thousands of foes, great was the joy that Vasava obtained, O lord of Earth! |
Mbh.12.282.17376 | Thou hast said, O ruler of men, that Vritra was first stupefied by Fever, and that then, O sinless one, he was slain by Vasava with the thunderbolt. |
Mbh.12.294.18376 | Then the seven ancient Rishis came forward and installed Vasava as the chief of the gods and the ruler of heaven. |
Mbh.12.333.21279 | Vasava poured showers of rain of excellent taste and fragrance. |
Mbh.12.339.21950 | In some of these feats, only Arjuna, the son of Vasava, will become my assistant. |
Mbh.13.2.239 | Bhishma continued, Then the glorious Vasava the lord of the gods, riding in a fine chariot drawn by a thousand white horses, approached that Brahmana. |
Mbh.13.5.336 | Bhishma said, In this connection, this ancient legend, the story of Vasava and the high-minded Suka, is cited as an illustration. |
Mbh.13.6.414 | Vasu, though he performed a hundred sacrifices like a second Vasava, was sent to the nethermost regions, for making a single false statement. |
Mbh.13.12.815 | The ascetic lady, joining her hands, answered Indra, saying, O Vasava, let those sons of mine come to life that were borne by me as a woman. |
Mbh.13.12.826 | In fact, do not wish to be restored to the status of manhood, O Vasava, |
Mbh.13.17.2013 | Thou art Vasava. |
Mbh.13.26.3557 | They, O foremost of intelligent men, who plunge every day in the sacred waters of Ganga, become the equals of great Munis and the very deities with Vasava at their head. |
Mbh.13.29.3764 | The lord and giver of boons, engaged in the good of all creatures, viz, Vasava beholding him falling down, quickly came to that spot and held him fast' |
Mbh.13.29.3798 | Having granted him these boons, Vasava disappeared there and then. |
Mbh.13.33.4038 | Upon them depends the course of conduct followed by men, even as the existence of all creatures depends upon Vasava. |
Mbh.13.34.4083 | The peace and happiness of the kingdom flow from such respect shown to the Brahmanas even as the peace and happiness of all living creatures flow from Vasava, the chief of the celestials. |
Mbh.13.41.4478 | It is for this that I do not, O Vasava, wish to burn thee. |
Mbh.13.62.6078 | Bhishma continued, Hearing these words from the son of Angiras, Vasava made a gift unto him of the whole earth with all her jewels and gems and all her wealth of diverse kinds. |
Mbh.13.73.6737 | The kine that live there, O Vasava, obtain the fruition of every desire which they cherish in their hearts. |
Mbh.13.83.7396 | They represent sacrifice itself, O Vasava! |
Mbh.13.83.7404 | They uphold all creatures by diverse acts, O Vasava, kine are guileless in their behaviour. |
Mbh.13.83.7407 | Kine obtained many excellent forms, O Vasava, and are themselves givers of boons to others. |
Mbh.13.83.7433 | No ill luck, O Vasava, exists there. |
Mbh.13.83.7435 | There many beautiful cars, all excellently equipped, which move at the will of the rider, may be seen, O Vasava, O thou of eyes like lotus-petals, it is only by Brahmacharya, by penances, by Truth, by self-restraint, by gifts, by diverse kinds of righteous deeds, by sojourns to sacred waters, in fact, by severe austerities and righteous acts well-performed, that one can attain to Goloka. |
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.13.93.8531 | Know that I am Vasava! |
Mbh.13.100.9000 | Made once more the chief' of the deities, Vasava began to shine in beauty and resplendence. |
Mbh.13.102.9060 | In this connection is cited the old narrative of the discourse, O son, between the ascetic Gautama and Vasava. |
Mbh.13.107.9737 | He who passes three years, confining himself every day to one meal and abstaining all the while from congress with any other woman save his own wedded wife, attains to the merit of the Agnishtoma sacrifice, Such a man is regarded as having performed a Sacrifice, with plenty of gifts in gold, that is dear to Vasava himself. |
Mbh.13.125.10909 | Vidyutprabha, after this, once more addressing Vasava, said, I shall declare a rite that is more subtle. |
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.13.129.11105 | Vasava, the chief of the celestials, confers upon him a fourth part of the merits that attach to a Horse-sacrifice. |
Mbh.13.132.11209 | SECTION CXXXII Bhishma said, After this, the Grandsire Brahman, sprang from the primeval lotus and resembling the lotus in agreeableness and fragrance, addressed the deities with Vasava, the lord of Sachi, at their head, Yonder sits the mighty Naga who is a resident of the nether regions. |
Mbh.13.140.11496 | All the highly blessed ascetics, the Siddhas who have drawn in their vital seed, the Maruts, the Vasus, the Sadhyas, the Viswedevas, Vasava himself, the Yakshas, the Nagas, the Pisachas, the Regents of the world, the several sacred Fires, the Winds, and all the great creatures dwelt on that mountain with minds concentrated in Yoga. |

Mbh.13.156.13029 | Indeed, all the gods with Vasava seemed to stand at the root of that great Asura's tongue, even as fishes when they enter into the wide open mouth of a leviathan. |
Mbh.14.5.128 | At that time, Vasava having vanquished and destroyed the Asuras, and obtained the sovereignty of the celestial regions had appointed as his priest Angira's eldest son, that best of Brahmanas, Vrihaspati. |
Mbh.14.5.135 | He had a son named Marutta, endowed with energy, and resembling Vasava himself. |
Mbh.14.5.137 | He always used to defy the lord of the celestials; and O son of Pandu, Vasava also defied Marutta. |
