Mbh.3.130.6639 | Here is the sacred tirtha called Ujjanaka, where the holy sage Vasistha with his wife Arundhati and also the sage Yavakri obtained tranquillity. |
Mbh.3.135.6888 | Yudhishthira said, How did the mighty sage, Yavakri, son of the ascetic Bharadwaja, acquire profundity in the Vedas? |
Mbh.3.135.6895 | And, Bharadwaja, O Bharata's son, had an only son, named Yavakri. |
Mbh.3.135.6898 | O sinless one, the highspirited Yavakri finding that his father, who practised asceticism, was slighted by the Brahmanas, while Raivya with his sons was greatly respected by them, was overwhelmed with sorrow, and became sore aggrieved. |
Mbh.3.135.6903 | Yavakri said, O thou adored of celestial hosts, I am practising severe penances, because I wish that such a knowledge of the Vedas as hath never been acquired by any Brahmana whatever, may be manifest unto me. |
Mbh.3.135.6912 | Lomasa said, O son of Bharata, having said this, Sakra went away, and Yavakri of immeasurable energy, once more directed his attention to asceticism. |
Mbh.3.135.6915 | Yavakri said, O lord of the celestials, if thou wilt not do for me what I want, I shall, observing stricter vows, practise still severer penances. |
Mbh.3.135.6920 | And he fell to throwing up a dam with sands, at that spot of the Bhagirathi to which Yavakri used to descend for performing ablutions. |
Mbh.3.135.6921 | Because Yavakri, chief of the Brahmanas, paid no heed to Indra's words, the latter began to fill the Ganga with sands. |
Mbh.3.135.6923 | And when that bull among the sages, Yavakri, saw Indra thus earnestly engaged in constructing the dam, he broke into laughter, and said the following words, What art thou engaged in, O Brahmana, and what is thy object? |
Mbh.3.135.6927 | Yavakri said, O thou of ascetic wealth, thou canst not dam up this mighty current. |
Mbh.3.135.6930 | Yavakri said, If, O chief of the celestials, those efforts of mine be fruitless, even as those of thy own, then, O lord of heavenly hosts, be thou pleased to do for me what is practicable. |
Mbh.3.135.6934 | Return home, O Yavakri' |
Mbh.3.135.6935 | Having thus obtained the object of his desire, Yavakri came unto his father and said, The Vedas, O father, will be manifest unto thee as well as unto myself and I have obtained boons whereby we shall excel all men' |
Mbh.3.135.6966 | Yavakri said, I shall do as thou biddest me. |
Mbh.3.135.6969 | Having replied unto his father in these sweet words, Yavakri, fearing nothing and nobody, began to delight in wantonly offending other munis |
Mbh.3.136.6970 | SECTION CXXXVI Lomasa said, One day in the month of Chaitra, while fearlessly wandering at large, Yavakri approached the hermitage of Raivya. |
Mbh.3.136.6972 | And having lost his senses through passion, Yavakri shamelessly spake unto the bashful maiden, saying, Be thou attached unto me' |
Mbh.3.136.6977 | Thereupon, the beautiful damsel told him all that Yavakri had said unto her, and what she also had cleverly said unto him. |
Mbh.3.136.6978 | Hearing of this gross misbehaviour of Yavakri, the mind of the sage flamed up, and he waxed exceedingly wroth. |
Mbh.3.136.6984 | Thereat, the angry sage said unto them, Go and kill Yavakri' |
Mbh.3.136.6985 | Then saying, We shall do as thou biddest, they two went away with the intention of slaying Yavakri. |
Mbh.3.136.6986 | And with her charms, the female whom the large-hearted sage had created, robbed Yavakri of his sacred water-pot. |
Mbh.3.136.6987 | Then with his uplifted spear the demon flew at Yavakri, when he had been deprived of his water-pot and rendered unclean. |
Mbh.3.136.6988 | And seeing the demon approach with uplifted spear for the purpose of slaying him, Yavakri rose up all on a sudden and fled towards a tank. |
Mbh.3.136.6991 | And being obstructed again and again by the fierce demon, holding the spear, Yavakri in fright attempted to enter into the Agnihotra room of his father. |
Mbh.3.136.6993 | And, finding Yavakri thus grasped by the Sudra, the demon hurled his spear at him, and thereupon he fell down dead, pierced in the heart. |
Mbh.3.136.6994 | After slaying Yavakri, the demon went back to Raivya, and with the permission of that sage, began to live with the female |
Mbh.3.137.7014 | Evil-minded is that man, who, knowing that I am an old man, and also that Yavakri was my only son, had given way to wrath. |
Mbh.3.138.7051 | He further prayed that his brother might be absolved from his sin; that his father might have no recollection of his having been slain; that Bharadwaja and Yavakri might both be restored to life; and that the solar revelation might attain celebrity on earth. |
Mbh.3.138.7054 | Yavakri now addressed Agni and the other deities, saying, I had obtained a knowledge of all the Vedas, and also practised penances. |
Mbh.3.138.7056 | Thereupon the gods said, O Yavakri, never act again as those have done. |
Mbh.3.138.7059 | Lomasa said, Having said this to Yavakri, and restored all those to life, the celestials with Indra at their head, ascended to heaven. |
