7965O oppressor of all foes, O great king, I hope thou slayest thy foes without regarding their seasons of reaping and of famine?
7965O represser of all foes, do men dressed in red and armed with swords and adorned with ornaments stand by thy side to protect thy person?
7965O sinless one, art thou acquainted with all mysterious incantations, and with the secrets of poisons destructive of all foes?
7965O sinless one, causest thou ever grief or anger in any one?
7965O slayer of all foes, watchest thou all thy enemies with care and attention, and unknown to them?
7965O son of Dhritarashtra, how dost thou regard Krishna as not won, when the eldest of the Pandavas before this assembly staked all his possessions?
7965O son of Pritha, seekest thou to cure bodily diseases by medicines and fasts, and mental illness with the advice of the aged?
7965Observest thou neutrality towards strangers and persons that are neutral towards thee?
7965Of great renown, what can he not achieve when with ye two?
7965Oppressest thou not thy people with cruel and severe punishment?
7965Or, O son of Kuru, regardest thou Krishna as preceptor?
7965Or, O son of Kuru, regardest thou Krishna as the Ritwija?
7965Or, dost thou entertain hostile feeling towards me?
7965Or, if thou regardest Vasudeva as your well- wisher and supporter, here is Drupada; how then can Madhava deserve the( first) worship?
7965Or, what need is there of words or of command?
7965Passing over that foremost of bowmen-- that excellent of kings, Rukmin of great energy, why praisest thou Kesava?
7965Persecutest thou thy kingdom by the help of thievish or covetous men, or minors, or women?
7965Protectest thou thy kingdom from the fear of fire, of snakes and other animals destructive of life, of disease, and Rakshasas?
7965Such measures are never obstructed?
7965The counsels thou hast resolved upon, do not become known all over thy kingdom?
7965The two midwives( that waited upon the queens) then carefully wrapping up the still- born(?)
7965Then, O monarch, the king of Chedi offered his kingdom unto Bhima and said smilingly,--''O sinless one, upon what art thou bent?''
7965Therefore, O thou parasite, why dost thou obstruct us so?
7965Therefore, who is there that will not envy ye?
7965Therefore, why regardest thou Krishna who hath been justly won as not won?
7965They do not fear to approach thee?
7965Thou ascertainest, I hope, what thy friends, foes and strangers are about?
7965Thou dost not oppress them by withholding these?
7965Thou hast not become the slave of sleep?
7965Thou settlest nothing alone, nor takest counsels with many?
7965Thou wilt then enjoy the whole earth; what need hast thou with me?''"
7965Thy counsels, I hope, are never divulged by thy trusted spies in disguise, by thyself or by thy ministers?
7965Unwilling as I am to gamble, I will not do so, if the wicked Sakuni doth not summon me to it in the Sabha?
7965Wakest thou at the proper time?
7965We will succeed in warding off the fates by exertion alone?''
7965What boon shall I give thee?
7965What can be more distressing to me, than that though high- born and chaste, I should yet be compelled to enter this public court?
7965What can they do thee?''
7965What dost thou gain by winning from the Pandavas their vast wealth?
7965What dost thou think fit for us?
7965What is his energy and what is his prowess, that having touched thee he hath not been burnt like an insect at the touch of fire?''
7965What is the area of each, and what is the length and breadth of each?
7965What is there in this to make thee sorry?
7965What is there to make thee sorry for this?
7965What is there to make thee sorry for this?
7965What is thy counter stake, O great king,--the wealth with which thou wishest to play with me?''
7965What is your motive for coming to me?''
7965What it is, therefore, that hath made thee pale and emaciated?
7965What kings also were present in that assembly, and who amongst them approved of the gambling match and who amongst them forbade it?
7965What love can we bear to the wicked and avaricious Kurus?"
7965What man is there in the world possessed of vigour who can bear to see his foes in the enjoyment of prosperity and himself in destitution?
7965What man is there, who knowing all this, will consent to gamble?
7965What prince is there who playeth staking his wife?
7965What shall I do, O aunt?
7965What shall I do, therefore, with my kingdom or with a boon?"''
7965When Drona is here, how hast thou worshipped him of the Vrishni race?
7965When I have never done ye an injury, why, ye Brahmanas do ye regard me, who am innocent, as your foe?
7965When old Dwaipayana is here, how hath Krishna been worshipped by thee?
7965When one hath placed on the neck and back of venomous snakes full of wrath for encompassing his destruction, is it possible for him to take them off?
7965When the brave Aswatthaman, versed in every branch of knowledge is here, why, O king, hath Krishna, O thou of the Kuru race, been worshipped by thee?
7965When, therefore, thou taken fright at Jarasandha''s might, how should I regard myself strong in comparison with him?
7965Whence is this reverse of fortune?
7965Where is that virtue for which these kings were noted?
7965Where is thy virtue, O Bhishma?
7965Whether, therefore, the means is virtuous or sinful, what scruples can there be in the duties of one''s own order?
7965Who amongst us shall prepare himself for battle( with thee)?''
7965Who are ye, therefore, thus decked with flowers, and with hands bearing the marks of the bow- string?
7965Who else is there in the world of men save Kesava that is so distinguished?
7965Who hath been kept here that hath not been defeated in war?
7965Who is there among them that will forgive that insult to Draupadi?
7965Who is there that can stake equally with me?
7965Who is there that will break an embankment which hath been completed, or re- kindle a conflagration which hath been extinguished?
7965Who wait upon the Grandsire in that assembly room?
7965Who will regard as praiseworthy the act which was done by Kesava, as also by Bhima and Arjuna, in the matter of Jarasandha''s death?
7965Who, O Bhishma, knowing himself to be virtuous and superior in knowledge, will so act as thou hast done from motives of virtue?
7965Whom doth it behave to transgress his virtuous eldest brother?
7965Whom doth it behove to boast, thus having won wealth by foul means?
7965Why also, O Janarddana, didst thou accept the worship of which thou art unworthy, although it was offered unto thee by those mean- minded princes?
7965Why do not these best of regenerate ones answer the question?
7965Why dost thou not deliver me and these best of men also from such woe?
7965Why dost thou not, after due enquiry, ascertain the grief that is in the heart of thy eldest son, the grief that is caused by the foe?''
7965Why dost thou, therefore, seek to perform a sacrifice unto god Sankara by slaughtering human beings?
7965Why shall we not, therefore, meet together and oppose Jarsandha in battle?
7965Why should you, therefore, regard us as incompetent?
7965Why shouldst thou then longer wait upon the fallen sons of Pandu?
7965Why shouldst thou, therefore, be jealous of him?
7965Why shouldst thou, therefore, covet, from folly, the property of thy brother?
7965Why sufferest thou quietly thy good children to be thus sent into exile, defeated at dice?
7965Why then, O Bhishma, was that virtuous girl Amva, who had set her heart upon another, carried off by thee, so proud of wisdom and virtue?
7965Why wishest thou not to praise them?
7965Why, then, O king, dost thou praise gambling so?
7965With whom in this assembly am I to play?
7965With whom( as stake) wilt thou now play?''"
7965Ye my dear ones, if Time hath intended so what need is there for me to live?''
11894''Having heard the words of the gods, Agastya, the son of Mitra, and Varuna, said,Wherefore are ye come?
11894''Sakra said,O fair one, when thousands of thy son are( daily) oppressed, why dost thou grieve for one under infliction?"
11894What for, O fortunate one, hath thy father bestowed thee on a person who is verging on death? 11894 Who is it that hath done wrong to the illustrious son of Bhrigu, old and ever engaged in austerities and of wrathful temper?
11894Yudhishthira said,''How did the mighty sage, Yavakri, son of the ascetic Bharadwaja, acquire profoundity in the Vedas? 11894 Yudhishthira said,''How was the chastiser of the demon Paka, the god possessed of the six attributes, paralysed by Chyavana?
11894Yudhishthira said,''How was the son of Kasyapa, Rishyasringa, born of a hind? 11894 Yudhishthira said,''O worshipful one, relate in particular how Vishnu, the lord of the celestials, raised up the earth sunk a hundred_ yojanas_?
11894Yudhishthira said,''What was that occasion, O Saint? 11894 All this evil is her work, what need of doubts? 11894 And O mighty monarch, not finding her lord Naishadha, afflicted with grief and pain, she shrieked aloud in fright, saying,O lord?
11894And by whose influence is it that the whole universe is in ferment?
11894And distracted by gusts of the wind, they thought,''Are the heavens falling down; or the earth and the mountains being rent?''
11894And exclaiming repeatedly--_Where is he?
11894And filled with anxiety, the beautious one thought within herself,"Oh, how shall I distinguish the celestials, and how discern the royal Nala?"
11894And for what reason did the mighty saint conceive wrath towards Indra?
11894And having received very great hospitality from them, he asked them, saying,"To whom, O cowherds, do ye belong?"
11894And he asked himself,"Why is it that my daughter seemeth to be so ill now?"
11894And he thought,"How shall I divide this garment, so that my beloved one may not perceive?"
11894And he thought,"Is he Matali, the charioteer of the king of the celestials?
11894And he went home and asked his mother saying,"Where is my father?"
11894And how also did he perish?
11894And how also did he regain it?
11894And how also hast thou come to know this lady fallen into such a plight?
11894And how beautiful was that princess Santa, pure in life, she who allured the heart of him when he had turned himself into a stag?
11894And how did the agnates of( Bhagiratha furnish the same)?
11894And how did those high souled ones bear themselves and derive their sustenance, and where did they put up?
11894And how shall we be able to go this long way by help of these?"
11894And how was he endowed with holiness, being the issue of a reprehensible sexual connexion?
11894And how was the ocean refilled by the interference of Bhagiratha?
11894And is it well with the beasts and birds of this asylum?"
11894And reproaching the sons of Dhritarashtra, they said,''What should we do?''
11894And seeing those horses, the king said somewhat angrily,"What is this, that thou wishest to do?
11894And she asked herself,"Was it a dream that I saw?
11894And she said"O lord, why dost thou not rush towards me, now that I am seized, without anybody to protect me, by this serpent in these desert wilds?
11894And some, O Bharata, felt pity for, and even addressed, her, saying,"O blessed one, who art thou, and whose?
11894And the deities enquired of the great Indra,"What is to be sucked by this boy?"
11894And then approaching these, he asked with folded hands,"Who are ye?
11894And then he asked the valiant Akritavrana, who was a follower of Parasurama,''when will the revered Parasurama show himself to the religious men here?
11894And those of the caravan that had escaped unhurt, met together, and asked one another,"Of what deed of ours is this the consequence?
11894And what didst thou do while out of thy kingdom?''
11894And what doest thou in this wood?
11894And what if I act not thus?
11894And what must I bestow on thee?
11894And what woman would not choose as her lord the virtuous and high- souled Mahendra, the lord of the celestials, the chastiser of Daityas and Danavas?
11894And what, further, shall I have to do for you?
11894And where is that asylum?
11894And where is thy hermitage?
11894And where, again, are those charming trees decked with fruits and flowers?"
11894And who also is he that desireth me to be his messenger?
11894And whose son art thou, and how hast thou come to do this work?"
11894And why also hast thou come into the woods?
11894And why hast thou come hither?
11894And why should not this king rule over the entire world when he hath the two sons of Madri to espouse his cause?
11894And, O Naishadha, how will it fare with thee when thou rememberest me?
11894And, O beauteous one, how hast thou fallen into this extreme misery?"
11894And, O descendant of the Vrishni race, while thou wert away, where didst thou dwell?
11894And, O king, who is there that will weaken in battle Arjuna, who could not be weakened by Maheswara himself possessed of eight forms?
11894And, O king, why dost thou not return an answer to thy beloved wife bewailing and bereft of sense, although thou lovest her, being loved in return?
11894And, O sister, assisted by Rama and Krishna, we are invincible in battle by even the slayer himself of Vritra-- what are the sons of Dhritarashtra?''"
11894And, O thou foremost of those acquainted with the Veda, what also did Arjuna do while dwelling there?
11894And, O thou of mighty arms, he said,"Where is that wretch of the Vrishni race, Vasudeva, the evil- souled son of Vasudeva?
11894Are those heroes, the five Pandavas living happily?
11894Art thou a female_ Yaksha_, or a female_ Rakshasa_, or a celestial damsel?
11894Art thou human?
11894Asked by thee, what else can I counsel thee to do?
11894Beholding that Arjuna that tiger among men worshipped by both the celestials and the Danavas so anxious, why, O king, dost thou not feel indignant?
11894But I do not seek to renounce thee, wherefore, O timid one, dost thou dread this?
11894But is there any ceremony, by celebrating which one may get a hundred sons?
11894But what do Bhishma and Drona and Vidura think?
11894But what stake hast thou now?
11894But, O timid one, can any other woman, forsaking her loving and devoted husband, ever choose a second lord like thee?
11894Can those who are familiar with his power, speak as thou dost?
11894Clad in this severed piece of cloth, and lying like one distracted, how will the beauteous one of luminous smiles behave when she awaketh?
11894Conscious of thy prowess, why didst thou not, O Bhima, say so before we entered into such an agreement?
11894Do those bulls of the Kuru race intend to stay out their time?
11894Dost thou not behold, O Brahmana, that vegetable juice floweth from the wound in my hand?
11894Doth he come hither, despatched by Sakuni, to invite us again to a game of dice?
11894Doth it not behove thee to deliver me?
11894Doth the little- minded Sakuni intend to win again our weapons at dice?
11894For what purpose, O Brahmana, doth one like us lead a domestic life, if he can not cherish and support those that follow him?
11894For what then do Rishis and gods and Gandharvas and Rakshasas who are all independent of human conditions, cherish virtue with such affection?
11894Free from thy curse, when thou wilt have regained thy mind and senses and wealth, how will it be with thee when thou thinkest of me?
11894From what other cause, then hath this disaster come?"
11894Hast thou ever seen me, O son of Suta, fly in fear from the field of battle like a coward?
11894Hast thou ever seen or heard of any such before?
11894Hast thou from despair been deprived of thy manliness?
11894Hast thou seen king Nala, the slayer of foes and the beloved husband of Damayanti,--freed from fear and grief and obstacles?
11894Hast thou, O foremost of mountains, with thy hundreds of peaks towering( into the sky) seen king Nala in this frightful forest?
11894Hath any misfortune, ever so little, befallen the world of men or serpents?"
11894Having entered into such an agreement in the presence of all good men, who dareth break it for the sake of a kingdom on earth?
11894Having given my pledge, O blessed one, unto the gods in especial, how can I, having come on other''s mission, dare seek my own interest?
11894Having hurled from the throne his in- offensive sons, will he be able to declare that he had treated them in a blameless way?
11894Having left my brothers behind me in the forest, and without avenging myself on the foe, shall I incur the opprobrium for all ages of all the world?''
11894Having left the field of battle, what shall I say unto that mighty warrior when I meet him?
11894Hiding thyself behind those shrubs, why dost thou not reply unto me?
11894How also were the illustrious Sthanu and the chief of the celestials gratified by him?
11894How also will these children, the brothers, Nakula and Sahadeva, equal unto a couple of young lions, both live in secret?
11894How came it then, O chiefs of the immortals, that Raivya succeeded in killing me in that way?"
11894How can I abandon my son for the sake of the sons of Pandu?
11894How can I go there now in misery, augmenting thy grief?"''
11894How can I hope to enter them?"
11894How can a person who is himself under the influence of love bring himself to speak thus unto a lady on behalf of others?
11894How can my wicked sons live, whose eldest brother and preceptor walketh not in the path of righteousness?
11894How can one know beforehand what the consequence will be?
11894How can one like us indulge in it then?
11894How can these horses of mine, weak in strength and breath, carry us?
11894How can they then rightfully claim the juice of the Soma?"''
11894How canst thou then consider the forsaking of one, seeking for help, as virtuous?
11894How could men know anything of it?
11894How hast thou been born in the Kshatriya order?
11894How hast thou settled all this in thy mind now?
11894How hast thou then, having pledged thy word, deserted me asleep in the woods?
11894How hath this lady of beautiful eyes been deprived of the company of her relatives and of her husband as well?
11894How may I secure the goodwill of the citizens so that they may not destroy us to the roots?
11894How shall I behold you all, that do not deserve to bear trouble, out of love for me painfully subsisting upon food procured by your own toil?
11894How shall I live afflicted with grief on account of my husband?"
11894How then can one like me indulge his anger which is so destructive of the world?
11894How, O Krishna, can one like us abandon forgiveness, which is such, and in which are established_ Brahma_, and truth, and wisdom and the worlds?
11894How, again, can I obtain the flowers soon?''
11894How, long- armed one, will Krishna pass over them?''
11894If a man were not himself the cause of his acts, how would all this be justified?
11894If fools, of mind without light, transgress in every respect, how, O faultless one, can one like me transgress( like them)?
11894If thou couldst do what thou hadst desired, could this calamity befall us?
11894In Gaya''s great sacrifice, who is there today, amongst creatures, that still desireth to eat?
11894In the evening oppressed with hunger and thirst and fatigue, underneath the trees, how wilt it take with thee when thou seest me not?"
11894Is death the better for me now?
11894Is everything well with the celestials?
11894Is he Rudra himself, or some other god, or a Yaksha, or an Asura?
11894Is he some god or Yaksha or Gandharva?"
11894Is it all well with my hermitage?
11894Is it not because he hath banished Kunti''s son from his kingdom?
11894Is there a king on this earth who is more unfortunate than myself?
11894Janamejaya said,"How did that bull among the Kurus, king Yudhishthira, for the sake of the Brahmanas adore the sun of wonderful appearance?"
11894Kesini then asked,"Whence doth the third among you come, and whose( son) is he?
11894Let me ask thee, who hath been to this place today?"''"
11894Like a large tree in a well- watered region with spreading branches and flowers and leaves, or like Indra''s elephant, how will Jishnu live unknown?
11894O Brahmana, what did Dhritarashtra of great wisdom say, when he heard of them?"
11894O Brahmana, what is thy opinion on this?''
11894O Naishadha, O sinless one, who will soothe thee when thou art weary, and hungry, and fainting, O tiger among kings?"
11894O Vidura, things having thus taken their course, what should we do now?
11894O bull among Munis, what can be the reason of this thy present joy?''
11894O hath king Nala, the lord of the Nishadhas, come to this delightful asylum of your holy selves?
11894O husband, dost thou desert me?
11894O lord, why hast thou gone away, deserting me today in the forest?
11894O slayer of Madhu, how can crookedness be in thee, devoid as thou art, O thou of the Dasarha race, of anger and envy and untruth and cruelty?
11894O son of a Suta, hast thou been bewildered at the sight of a Salwa in that fierce encounter?
11894O thou blest with length of days, whose spouse is she whom thus lamentest?"
11894O thou conversant with all duties, tell me truly which of these is meritorious?
11894Of frightful form and dreadful to behold, uttering loud cries as he came, the Rakshasa said,"O Hidimva, with whom dost thou converse?
11894Of what deed, then, is this the consequence?
11894Of what misdeed is this the consequence?
11894Of what use is my life without that bull among men?
11894Oh, when shall I see the sweet- speeched and large- hearted Vibhatsu so full of kindness and activity, return to us, having obtained all weapons?
11894Or hast thou been disheartened, beholding the fight?
11894Or should I desert my wife?
11894Or, hath Salihotra versed in the science of horses taken this human shape so beautiful?
11894Or, is Rituparna equally skilled with Nala so that the rattle of his car seemeth to be like that of Nala?"
11894Or, is it king Nala the reducer of hostile towns that hath come here?
11894Overwhelmed with the consequence of our pledge, and the time itself having passed, what is the use of thy addressing me these harsh words?
11894Possessed of fame and wisdom, and lineage, and kindness, why hast thou be unkind?
11894SECTION XIV"Yudhishthira said,''O Krishna, why wert thou absent( from the Anartta country)?
11894Simple, gentle, liberal, modest, truthful, how, O king could thy mind be attracted to the vice of gambling?
11894Suffering such wrongs at the hands of wicked and evil- doing foes of small strength, am I to burn in grief so long?
11894Tell us now, O Brahmana, what was the food of the sons of Pandu, while they lived in the woods?
11894Tell us, O blameless and blessed one, art thou the presiding deity of this forest, or of this mountain, or of this river?"
11894The celestials said,"Where is that Being who with pleasure raiseth up the Earth?
11894The gods, however, said,"O ruler of the Nishadhas, having promised first, saying,_ I will!_ why wilt thou not act accordingly now?
11894The son of Pandu then, O king, asked Lomasa, saying,''O illustrious one, why had Rama''s energy and might been taken away?
11894Then Indra, O Yudhishthira, went to him and addressed him saying,"Wherefore, O sage, hast thou become engaged in practising such rigid austerities?"
11894Then calling Sudeva, O king, the queen- mother asked him,"Whose wife is this fair one, and whose daughter?
11894Then king Yudhishthira, endued with great wisdom, addressed him saying,''Who art thou, and whose( son)?
11894Then that best of Munis-- Agastya-- bursting out in laughter, said,"How can he come out?
11894Then those two spake unto Raivya, saying,"What shall we do?"
11894Thinkest thou otherwise?''
11894Thinking of this Bhimasena living in sorrow in the woods, doth not thy anger blaze up, even though it is time?
11894Through whose power had she sunk an hundred_ yojanas_ below, and under what circumstances was exhibited this greatest exploit of the Supreme Being?
11894Thus addressed by Sakra, Narada replied,"Listen, O Mahaval, why seest not thou the kings( now)?
11894Thus addressed by the daughter of the king of the Vidarbhas, Nala answered her saying,"With the_ Lokapalas_ present, choosest thou a man?
11894Was it of the wilderness, or was it the produce of cultivation?"
11894Was not the enmity sufficient that was provoked by bringing Krishna into the assembly?
11894What also dost thou think?
11894What also, O Suta, will that lion among men, the grand- son of Sini( Satyaki), that great warrior, say on hearing that I have forsaken the fight?
11894What boon do ye solicit from me?"
11894What can I do now?
11894What can be sadder than this that the virtuous Vibhatsu hath gone away at thy command, thinking of his many griefs?
11894What damsel is there that would not choose king Nala endued with every virtue?
11894What do we gain by living in the asylum of ascetics, thus deprived of virtue, pleasure, and profit?
11894What else, O Brahmana, shall I do for thee?"
11894What for, O Brahmana, wilt thou destroy thyself?
11894What grief can be greater than this?
11894What hath she said unto us all?
11894What have I to do with any other sort of food?
11894What is the matter?
11894What is the name of this particular religious vow, which thou seemest to be observing now?"
11894What is the occasion of this thy visit?"
11894What other man on earth, except Phalguna, would strive to have a sight of these gods in their own forms?
11894What peace can my heart know in not beholding thee such now?
11894What peace, O king, can my heart know in not beholding all this now?
11894What prosperity can he have who is an object of alarm to the world?
11894What seekest thou in woods?
11894What shall I say unto them?
11894What shall I shoot now from my bow?
11894What will that sinner, the chieftain of the earth, say to the departed forefathers of his race, when the wretch will meet them in the world to come?
11894What will the elder brother of Kesava, the mighty- armed Baladeva, clad in blue and inebriate with wine, say, when he returneth?
11894What woman would not choose as her lord Hutasana-- the chief of the celestials, who encompassing the earth swalloweth it?
11894What woman would not choose him as her lord the dread of whose mace induceth all creatures to tread the path of virtue?
11894When this pigeon hath in such a manner sought my protection, why dost thou not see that the highest merit is even in my not surrendering it unto thee?
11894Where are all those ascetics?
11894Where are my favourite guests?"
11894Where be those Kshatriya heroes?
11894Where dost thou go, O just monarch, leaving all these citizens and the inhabitants of the country, like a father leaving his sons?
11894Where is he?_ the lord of Saubha rusheth to this place and that, desirous of encountering me in battle.
11894Where is now Vandin?
11894Where will ye go, leaving us in grief?
11894Where, further, is that delightful river of sacred waters-- the resort of diverse kinds of fowls?
11894Wherefore then being a child, dost thou talk like an old man?"
11894Wherefore, O prince, has thou then stopped to perpetrate a deed not sanctioned by the ordinance?
11894Wherefore, then, dost thou not reply unto me?
11894Who are ye that have come near me in the shape of my food?
11894Who 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?
11894Who can be more fortunate than he who is remembered even by the lord of the celestials?
11894Who followed the steps of those princes plunged in excess of affliction?
11894Who is he?
11894Who is he?
11894Who is there capable of doing such an act?
11894Who is there that will defeat him?''"
11894Who is there that would be able to go forward to the car of Samva, who is great in fight, when mounted on a car?
11894Who is there that, desiring to live, will encounter these in battle, resembling angry lions of erect manes?''
11894Who is this person that swalloweth my arrows?
11894Who then, speaking with impartiality, will ever counsel me to renounce my own body for the sake of others?
11894Who, except the virtuous Nala, could go away, deserting in the woods, his dear and unoffending wife overcome with fatigue?
11894Why art thou so sad today?
11894Why did the king permit his foolish son Duryodhana to thus incense those mighty warriors, the sons of Pandu?
11894Why do they bear the wrongs inflicted( on me) by the sons of Dhritarashtra of such contemptible strength?
11894Why do ye fly?
11894Why do you speak so now?
11894Why dost thou go leaving the field of battle?
11894Why dost thou overlook then this great evil that is about to overtake all?
11894Why dost thou then, O king, forgive the wicked sons of Dhritarashtra?
11894Why dost thou then, O tiger among men, act in respect of thy duties, like a huge snake that is destitute of motion?
11894Why dost thou, for nothing, make this mighty endeavour?"
11894Why dost thou, so delicate and brought up in luxury and possessed of the splendour of fire, dwell alone in such a solitary region?''
11894Why doth not thy anger blaze up, O king, it sight of both Nakula and Sahadeva overwhelmed with grief, though so undeserving of distress?
11894Why doth not thy wrath blaze up at sight of that Arjuna in exile, who, on a single car, hath vanquished celestials and men and serpents?
11894Why doth thy sinful son of wicked heart, ever inflamed with ire, seek to slay the sons of Pandu for the sake of their kingdom?
11894Why is it that thou alone smilest, as if in glee, in the presence of these?''
11894Why should I disregard God, the lord of all creatures?
11894Why should I not then, choose Arjuna for a lover?
11894Why shouldst thou and the other celestials have a right to the distilled Soma juice, and not they?
11894Why then, good as thou art and acquainted with every duty, hast thou neglected both thy duties?
11894Why was he born as_ Ashtavakra_( crooked in eight parts in his body)?''
11894Why, O king, dost thou pardon the foe, O Yudhishthira, at sight of Madri''s son, the handsome and brave Sahadeva in exile?
11894Why, O king, doth not thy wrath blaze up at sight of Nakula, in exile, who so fair and able- bodied and young, is the foremost of all swordsmen?
11894Why, again, didst thou shoot the boar that was first aimed at by me?
11894Will the brotherly affection of the Kauravas ever be impaired?''
11894Without first vanquishing in battle all those foremost of men, unaided as thou art, how canst thou slay Duryodhana?
11894Yet why, O Lomasa, do they prosper in this world?''
11894being grilled in this hell?"
11894did he raise the celestial physicians to the rank of the drinkers of Soma?
11894dost thou not recognise him as an ancient Rishi of the highest merit?
11894thou of the splendour of gold, art thou not afraid of this terrible forest?
11894what dost thou desire of me?
11894what was the extent of power and strength possessed by king Somaka?
11894wherefore dost thou not answer me?
11894why dost thou weep?
7864''The husband then addressing his wife Pradweshi, said,''Why is it that thou also hast been dissatisfied with me?''
7864''After the birth of Vrikodara, Pandu again began to think,How am I to obtain a very superior son who shall achieve world- wide fame?
7864''Arjuna answered,She is Vasudeva''s daughter and Vasudeva''s( Krishna) sister; endued with so much beauty, whom can she not fascinate?
7864''Ashtaka asked,For what sin are beings, when they fall from heaven, attacked by these fierce and sharp- toothed Rakshasas?
7864''Ashtaka asked,How many kinds of Munis are there( observers of the vow of the silence)?"
7864''Ashtaka said,How, O father, do men attain to those superior regions whence there is no return to earthly life?
7864''Ashtaka then said,Whose are those five golden cars that we see?
7864''Hearing these words, Hidimva said,What need is there, O man, for this thy vaunt and this thy boast?
7864''Hearing this, Sukra said,O daughter, what good can I do to thee?
7864''Jarita then said,What hast thou to do with the eldest of these, and what with him that is next?
7864''Mandapala then said,Who amongst these is thy first born, and who the next after him?
7864''On hearing this, Yudhishthira asked,O great Muni, whose sons were Asuras called Sunda and Upasunda?
7864''When they had all finished speaking, Vyasa said,O amiable one, how shall thou be saved from the consequence of untruth?
7864And Sringin asked,''What wrong was done to that wicked monarch by my father? 7864 Astika asked,''Why wert thou, O mother, bestowed on my father by my uncle?
7864Janamejaya asked,''O Brahmana, how was Drona born? 7864 Janamejaya said,''O Brahmana, what did those tigers among men, the Pandavas, do after they had slain the Rakshasa Vaka?''
7864Janamejaya said,''O best of Brahmanas, how did Gandhari bring forth those hundred sons and in how many years? 7864 Vaisampayana continued,''And Devayani without waiting for a reply from the king, asked the children themselves,"Ye children, what is your lineage?
7864Vaisampayana continued,''Sukra then said,By what path, O Brahmana, hast thou entered my stomach, where thou stayest now?
7864A child as thou art, how much more dost thou stand in need of counsel?
7864Again, how was his son Aswatthaman, the foremost of all skilled in arms born?
7864Always melancholy at the thought of the Rishi''s curse, how came he to be merry with thee in solitude?
7864Amongst his friends, or of our own race, who art thou, O excellent one, that thus grievest for us all like a friend?
7864An instant after Drona asked him as in the case of others,"Seest thou, O Arjuna, the bird there, the tree, and myself?"
7864And Devayani asked in surprise,"Whose children are they, O king, who are so handsome and so like unto the children of the celestials?
7864And Devayani said,"O daughter of the Asura( chief), why dost thou take my attire, being, as thou art, my disciple?
7864And Jaratkaru, approaching the pitiable ones, himself in humble guise, asked them,''Who are ye hanging by this cord of virana roots?
7864And King Paushya, having returned Utanka''s salutations, said,''Sir, what shall I do for thee?''
7864And Ruru asked,''O thou best of snakes, for what wast thou cursed by a Brahmana in wrath?
7864And Ruru, the possessor of the six attributes, comforting the snake addressed it, saying,''Tell me fully, O snake, who art thou thus metamorphosed?''
7864And addressing Bhima he said,"Who is this fool, who desiring to go to the abode of Yama, eateth in my very sight the food intended for me?"
7864And beholding that man of grim visage, who was totally a stranger to them, they asked,"Who art thou and whose son?"
7864And having said this, he went with his disciples into the forest and began to shout, saying,''Ho Upamanyu, where art thou?''
7864And he asked himself,"What will the illustrious ascetic say, after he has known all?"
7864And he said,"How, O illustrious one, can one woman become the wife of many men without being defiled by sin?
7864And he said,"Who art thou, O fair one, of nails bright as burnished copper, and with ear- rings decked with celestial gems?
7864And his mother seeing him crying exceedingly asked him,''Why criest thou so?
7864And his preceptor seeing him in good condition of body asked him,''Upamanyu, my child, upon what dost thou support thyself?
7864And how long also will thy form continue so?''"
7864And looking at Krisa, and speaking softly, he asked him,''Pray, why doth my father bear today a dead snake?''
7864And not seeing the Rishi and finding that the abode was empty, he called loudly, saying,"What ho, who is here?"
7864And remembering the immense service done by him, who is there so ungrateful as to injure him?
7864And she asked herself,"Could the illustrious Vyasa himself( who had directed my sons to come to Panchala) have been guided by perverse intelligence?"
7864And she thought,''What should I now do?
7864And the Grandsire addressing him, that penance- practising one of great fortitude, said,''What is that thou doest, O Sesha?
7864And the Rishi in a rage asked her,''By whom wast thou made known to that Rakshasa who resolved to carry thee away?
7864And the entire assembly, motionless and with steadfast gaze, thought,"Who is he?"
7864And the great Rishi( Kasyapa) then asked him,''O child, is it well with thee?
7864And the illustrious monarch asked Dhristadyumna on his return,"Oh, where hath Krishna gone?
7864And the mighty god of wind, thus invoked, came unto her, riding upon a deer, and said,"What, O Kunti, am I to give thee?
7864And the prince of snakes then spake unto that bull among Munis, Kasyapa, saying,''Whither dost thou go with such speed?
7864And the queen of rivers beholding them in the predicament, asked them,"Why look ye so dejected?
7864And there were some that said,"What good is not done to us today when the heroic sons of Kunti come back to our town?
7864And those Brahmanas who were all Brahmacharis beholding the Pandavas, O king, asked them,"Where are ye going to?
7864And what the horse of extraordinary size likewise beheld by me?
7864And what with the third and what with the youngest?
7864And when Vyasa came out, he was met by his mother, who asked him,"Shall the princess have an accomplished son?"
7864And who is the third, and who the youngest?
7864And who was the Brahmana ascetic from whose curse the god had to be born in the Sudra caste?''
7864And whose daughter, O beautiful one?
7864And whose son also was that best of regenerate ones?"
7864And why art thou, low as thou art, in the guise of an ascetic?
7864And, O Brahmana, how and for whom and for what reason was the friendship between Drona and Drupada broken off?"''
7864And, O thou eater of the sacrificial butter, why dost thou act so foolishly, being, as thou art, the Lord of all?
7864Approaching Indra, the celestials said,"Why, O lord of immortals, doth Agni burn these creatures below?
7864Arrived here, where hath he gone?
7864Art thou going down into the Earth?"
7864Art thou not ashamed to speak them, especially before me?
7864Art thou that foremost of sky- ranging bodies-- the sun-- emerging from, dark masses of clouds?
7864As I am deprived of judgment what should I do that is consistent with duty?
7864At these words of her son, Satyavati said,"O thou of ascetic wealth, how can one that is blind become a monarch worthy of the Kurus?
7864Beholding their plight, Sakra became seized with grief and exclaimed,''Shall I be even like these?''
7864Being their daughter, why dost thou speak like a lewd woman?
7864Being, as I am, their mouth, how am I to be an eater of all things( clean and unclean)?''
7864Burnt with the strong flame of desire the king asked that charming maiden, still innocent, though in her full youth, saying,''Who art thou and whose?
7864But dost thou not know that this royal sage is held by me in greater esteem still?"''
7864But how is it that Usinara''s son, Sivi hath already left us behind?"
7864But knowest thou not that the Ancient, Omniscient one( Narayana) liveth in thy heart?
7864But shall this my son born after him become king?
7864But the next instant Drona again asked him,"What dost thou see now, O prince?
7864But thou hast not as yet said what the cause was of the escape of the Sarngakas?
7864But what can I do, for, ye sinful wretches, the virtuous king Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandavas, is not yet angry with you?"
7864But what must be the means?''
7864But who is Tapati that we should be called Tapatyas?"''
7864But, O Nandini, even Viswamitra is taking thee away by force, what can I do in this matter, as I am a forgiving Brahmana?''"
7864By what means dost thou contrive to live now?''
7864Can the great Bhimasena of strong arms possessing the might of ten thousand elephants, be vanquished in battle by the immortals themselves?
7864Can the heart of one that rangeth the woods be agitated by the god of desire?
7864Devayani then enquired,"O king, what hast thou come here for?
7864Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti, beholding that strange sight, asked that damsel with a pleased heart,"Who art thou, O beautiful one?
7864Didst thou not speak to Agni in my presence, in their behalf?
7864Disregarding thy words, why shall we not touch the sacred waters of the Bhagirathi free from all dangers and from which none can bar us?"''
7864Do men that repair to these regions of everlasting bliss ride in them?"
7864Do ye worship the Brahmanas?
7864Do you know any act by which I may cast into the blazing fire the snake Takshaka with his relatives?
7864Dost thou get sufficient food every day?
7864Dost thou not fear to have recourse once more to that Asura custom of thine?"
7864Dost thou not hear me?
7864Dost thou now desire to revive thy friendship( with me)?"
7864Dost thou want to have your youth?"
7864Dost thou, O Asura chief, think that I am a raving liar?
7864Doth a being that hath received a human form enter the womb in its own shape or in some other?
7864Doth he do so at thy command or of his own accord?"
7864Doth he shine like fire, or is he of tranquil mien?
7864Draupadi, from jealousy, spoke unto him, saying,"Why tarriest thou here, O son of Kunti?
7864Even ants support their own eggs without destroying them; then why shouldst not thou, a virtuous man that thou art, support thy own child?
7864For what cause, O foremost of those that flourished in the Krita age, hast thou been compelled to leave that region and come hither?"
7864Garuda then asked,''O mother, of what form is a Brahmana, of what behaviour, and of what prowess?
7864Garuda, after reflecting for a few moments, asked his mother Vinata, saying,''Why, mother, have I to do the bidding of the snakes?''
7864Has not Bhrigu appropriated her who was chosen by me as my wife?
7864Has not the illustrious deity promised to save them?
7864Hast thou also made them thy study?
7864Hast thou become so senseless, O Hidimva, that thou fearest not my wrath?
7864Hast thou been deprived of thy reason?
7864Hast thou seen it?''
7864Hath any Kshatriya of high birth, or any one of the superior order( Brahmana) obtained my daughter?
7864Hath any Sudra or anybody of mean descent, or hath a tribute- paying Vaisya by taking my daughter away, placed his dirty foot on my head?
7864Hath any one of mean descent, by having won Krishna, placed his left foot on my head?
7864Hath not that one sin been conquered by this my asceticism?
7864Hath the time come for the destruction of the world?"''
7864Hath thy understanding been clouded by the calamities thou hast undergone?"
7864Have I not performed those acts whose fruits are these regions?
7864Have you sent him anywhere?
7864Having already suffered so much, where now are we to go?
7864Having never done so before, how shall I now accept a gift?"
7864He is possessed of allies; how can we by force exile him from his ancestral kingdom?
7864He therefore asked her,"Who art thou?
7864Hearing that sound, the Rishi asked,''Who is it that followeth me?''
7864Hearing this, the king asked him,"Whose son art thou?"
7864His appetite unsatiated, shall I not follow him in the region of Yama to gratify him?
7864How also can one gradually attain to felicitous regions?
7864How also did Drupada''s son learn all weapons from the great bowman Drona?
7864How also did the extraordinary birth of Krishna take place from the centre of the sacrificial platform?
7864How am I to obtain the fruition of my wishes?
7864How and whence did he acquire his arms?
7864How and why came he unto the Kurus?
7864How can I act as not to offend him?
7864How can I, therefore, show my regard for her?''
7864How can a kingdom be protected that hath no king?
7864How can a woman like me even touch such a one full of ascetic virtues, like unto a blazing fire, and having his passions under complete control?
7864How can a woman like me gaze at him without alarm?
7864How can he( therefore) become king now?
7864How can one that is blind become the protector of his relatives and family, and the glory of his father''s race?
7864How can then this womb of mine afford room for two children at a time?
7864How canst thou be my waiting- maid?"
7864How dare ye approach me who am the brightest jewel on the diadem of Kuvera?"
7864How did Dhritarashtra also beget another son in a Vaisya wife?
7864How did Dhritarashtra behave towards his loving, obedient, and virtuous wife Gandhari?
7864How did he spring from a clump of heath?
7864How did he then forgetting the Rishi''s curse, approach thee with enkindled desire?
7864How did my father, blessed with many virtues, meet with his death?
7864How did that famous king, in time, meet with his death?
7864How did their wife Draupadi obey them all?
7864How do they again enter the womb, furnished with senses?"
7864How dost thou support thyself?''
7864How doth he also come back to life?
7864How doth it also acquire its distinct and visible shape, eyes and ears and consciousness as well?
7864How doth the youngest deserve the throne, passing all his elder brothers over?
7864How hast thou, O Parasara, being so superior, engaged thyself in such a sinful practice?
7864How hath he soon grown like a Sala sprout?
7864How is it also that no dissensions arose amongst those illustrious rulers of men, all attached to one wife, viz., Krishna?
7864How is it that thou spendest thy time like a child when there is another matter that urgently demandeth thy attention?''"
7864How is it that ye can not recover the ball( from the bottom of this well)?
7864How is it, therefore, that even thou, suffering thyself to be overpowered by passion and wrath losest thy reason?"
7864How is that Bhishma who suffers the exile of the Pandavas to that wretched place, sanctions this act of great injustice?
7864How may his mother''s curse prove abortive?"
7864How shall I be able to place this sole daughter of thy house-- this innocent girl-- in the way along which her ancestors have always walked?
7864How shall I be saved from untruth?"
7864How shall I myself be able to sacrifice my son a child of tender years and yet without the hirsute appendages( of manhood)?
7864How shall I therefore do it?"
7864How shall I, O Govinda, tamely bear it?
7864How shall these princesses ascend those heights of the king of mountains?
7864How shall we escape from these dangers unseen by others?
7864How shall, O chief of the celestials, a woman like me even touch him?
7864How then dost thou, at present, contrive to support thyself?''
7864How too can the eldest one of the Pandavas in whom patience, mercy, forgiveness, truth, and prowess always live together, be vanquished?
7864How was Garuda born in consequence of the ascetic penances of the Valakhilyas?
7864How will their mother be able to rescue them?
7864How, indeed, hast thou fallen into this well covered with creepers and long grass?
7864How, indeed, shall any other man touch my hand which had before been touched by thyself who art a Rishi?"
7864I am speaking unto thee woefully; why dost thou not reply to me?
7864I ask thee if there are any worlds for me to enjoy as fruits of my religious merits, in heaven or the firmament?
7864I ask thee, O king, are there any regions for myself to enjoy in heaven or in the firmament?
7864I would ask you, should children be begotten in my soil( upon my wives) as I myself was begotten in the soil of my father by the eminent Rishi?"
7864If it so happen, what then will be the state of the Bharata dynasty?
7864If the eldest himself faileth to rescue them, what can the younger ones do?"
7864If the renowned sons of Pandu obtain not the kingdom, how can it be thine, or that of any other descendant of the Bharata race?
7864If thou art the deity of these woods or an Apsara, tell me all regarding thyself and also why thou stayest here?"
7864If thou shouldst succeed, good fortune shall attend thee; if not, what good canst thou expect?''
7864If to accept them as gift be improper for thee, then, O monarch, buy them for a straw?"
7864If we are burnt to death, will our grandfather Bhishma be angry?
7864Illustrious one, how is that thou sayest Gandhari had a daughter over and above her hundred sons?
7864In the presence of so many, why dost thou treat me like an ordinary woman?
7864In this assemblage of monarchs like unto a conclave of the celestials, doth he not see a single monarch equal unto himself?
7864Is it by asceticism or by knowledge?
7864Is it to gather lotuses or to angle or to hunt?"
7864Is there any energy in Brahmanas who are peaceful and who have their souls under perfect command?
7864Is there any other Brahmana or Kshatriya who hath done what thou didst on earth?"
7864Is there food in plenty for thee in the world of men?''
7864Know ye not that I am bathing in the waters of the Bhagirathi?
7864Moreover, it behoveth thee not to grieve for that which must happen: for who can avert, by his wisdom, the decrees of fate?
7864Nandini answered,''Castest thou me away, O illustrious one, that thou sayest so?
7864O Brahmana, why hast thou not taken a wife?''
7864O Lord, what will happen when he doth rise?''
7864O best of Brahmanas, my virginity being sullied, how shall I, O Rishi, be able to return home?
7864O chastiser of enemies, have the fates been propitious unto us?
7864O excellent one, high- souled thou art; so why shall thou leave me who am faultless?
7864O excellent one, who art thou that thus sorrowest as a friend on our account?
7864O father, are there in the firmament or in heaven any worlds for me to enjoy?
7864O fortunate one, hast thou conceived from thy union with that best of Rishis?
7864O friend, was this an act of sin on the part of Vasishtha?
7864O handsome one, gifted with so much beauty and such virtues, whence hast thou come?
7864O king, who, unless cursed by the gods, would seek, to effect that by means of war which can be effected by conciliation?
7864O son, hath that wreath of flowers been thrown away on a grave- yard?
7864O thou best of Brahmanas, as we were desirous of heaven, of what use could wealth be to us?
7864O thou exalted one, tell me truly who hath won my daughter today?
7864O thou of sweet smiles, why dost thou wander alone in these solitary woods?
7864O thou of the fairest complexion, on what business hast thou come hither and whence hast thou come?
7864O thou whose wealth is asceticism, desirous of what wealth, goest thou thither?
7864O, are the sons of that foremost of Kurus, Vichitravirya''s son alive?
7864O, what hath happened, what should I do?
7864Of what sin is he not capable?
7864Oh why then didst thou yet like to live here?
7864Oh, how is Jaritari, my son, and how is Sarisrikka, and how is Stamvamitra, and how is Drona, and how also is their helpless mother?"
7864Oh, what can be more painful than this?
7864On hearing these words, Ekalavya was very much gratified, and said in reply,"O illustrious preceptor, what shall I give?
7864One day, Devavrata approaching his afflicted father said,"All is prosperity with thee; all chiefs obey thee; then how is it that thou grievest thus?
7864Otherwise why should not the Immutable Lord prevent our mother while uttering the curse?
7864Pray, what is that?
7864Reduced to nothing upon such dissolution, by what principle is one revived?"
7864SECTION CVII( Sambhava Parva continued)"Janamejaya said,''What did the god of justice do for which he was cursed?
7864SECTION XXXI( Astika Parva continued) Saunaka said,"O son of Suta, what was Indra''s fault, what his act of carelessness?
7864Saunaka said,"Was it, O Suta, that the mantras of those wise Brahmanas were not potent; since Takshaka did not fall into the fire?"
7864Saunaka said,"When did the revered Surya resolve at the time to burn the worlds?
7864Seeing them about to start, Pandu asked those ascetics, saying,"Ye first of eloquent men, where shall we go?"
7864Seen by them, how can I grant thy wish?"
7864Seest thou the tree, myself or thy brothers?"
7864Shall I choose him also for my husband whom Devayani hath chosen?
7864Shall I not resent it, even like a snake that is trodden upon?
7864Shall I wake my husband or not?
7864Shall we not be glad when our doubts have been removed?
7864She asked,"O thou of the splendour of a daughter of the celestials, whose art thou and who art thou?
7864Should I have peace or war with them?
7864Smiling, he asked,"O Kunti, what am I to give thee?"
7864Takshaka answered, saying,"Why dost thou seek to revive the king to be bitten by me?
7864Tell me, O amiable and beautiful one, where has the illustrious Rishi gone?"
7864The Asuras, beholding me, asked''Who art thou?''
7864The Pandavas said,"How, O Brahmana, did the birth of Dhrishtadyumna the son of Drupada, take place from the( sacrificial) fire?
7864The eldest son of Pritha, filled with fraternal love, going unto his mother, said, after making obeisance to her,"O mother, hath Bhima come?
7864The king addressing her, said,"Who art thou, and whose daughter?
7864The latter coming before her, asked,"What are thy commands?"
7864The latter, observing the Rishi sitting under the tree, questioned him, O king, saying,"O best of Brahmanas, which way have the thieves taken?
7864The moment after, she beheld Krishna and then she said,"Oh, what have I said?"
7864The wielder of the thunderbolt, beholding that wonderful sight, approached the woman and asked her,''Who art thou, amiable lady?
7864Then Arjuna said,"What need, O Bhima, for keeping the Rakshasa alive so long?
7864Then Rama, that oppressor of foes, spoke unto Vasudeva, saying,"Why, O Janardana, sittest thou, gazing silently?
7864Then Yudhishthira, addressing Bhima endued with great energy, said,"What can be more painful than this?
7864Then the gods, accompanied by the Rishis, wended to the Grandsire, and said unto him,''O what is this great heat today that causeth such panic?
7864Then wherefore wilt thou slay me in anger?''"
7864Then why dost thou reprove me?
7864Then, O Bharata, that tiger among men, Krishna, observing Partha contemplate her with absorbed attention, said with a smile,"How is this?
7864Then, Vasuki, learning all, was pleased with Bhima, and said to Aryaka with satisfaction,"How are we to please him?
7864Therefore, O Ashtaka, why should I grieve?
7864Therefore, O deer, why dost thou reprove me?"
7864Therefore, O thou of the fairest complexion, how hast thou been born as his daughter?
7864Therefore, why dost thou desire the continuance of our former friendship?"''
7864They were much pleased with Astika and asked him to solicit a boon, saying,''O learned one, what good shall we do unto thee?
7864This woman is the sister of that Rakshasa, what can she do to us even if she were angry?"''
7864Thou art my life, wealth, and lord; bereft of thee, how shall these children of tender years-- how also shall I myself, exist?
7864Thus addressed, the queen of rivers told them,"Be it so"and asked them,"On earth, who is that foremost of men whom ye will make your father?"
7864Thus benefited of old by Pandu, shall not, O child, the citizens slay us with all our friends and relatives now on account of Yudhishthira?"
7864To him his eldest son born of Devayani then said,"What needest thou, O king?
7864Unaccustomed to pain, shall they not droop in affliction?
7864Unfortunate that I am, what shall Vasuki say unto me?
7864Was it Partha( Arjuna) that took up the bow and shot the mark?"''"
7864Was she an Apsara( water nymph) or the daughter of any celestial?
7864What also can we do for thee?"
7864What also do you, my infant sons, think?
7864What also hath this child of thine, Gangadatta, done for which he shall have to live among men?
7864What can be more deplorable to us, her friends?
7864What can be more ridiculous in the world than that those that are themselves wicked should represent the really honest as wicked?
7864What can therefore be more amusing than that they both should give thee advice which is not for thy good?
7864What did they do after hearing of that curse?"
7864What dost thou do here, O timid one?"
7864What dost thou think, O son?''"
7864What dost thou think, sister?
7864What else can be said, O king, than that monarch''s sovereignty was dependent on destiny?
7864What good luck doth he not deserve who, after overcoming a foe by his might, giveth him life when that foe asketh for it?
7864What good shall I do to thee?''
7864What hast thou done, O best of men, in killing me who have given thee no offence?
7864What hath occasioned thy long absence?''
7864What is this that thou hast, O monarch, desired to do?
7864What man again is there on earth that would sell his offspring?
7864What man like me would go to gratify his lust, leaving his sleeping mother and brothers as food for a Rakshasa?"
7864What man of wisdom and virtue is there that can kill a deer while engaged in such an act?
7864What more wilt thou ask me?"
7864What need of altercation which is the exercise of the weak?
7864What other man is there in this world superior to thee?
7864What shall I do for thee?
7864What shall I do for you?
7864What shall I do?"
7864What shall I relate to you?"
7864What shall I say which would be for your good?
7864What should we do, therefore, but bestow her on Samvarana?''
7864What too doth that import?
7864What transgression can be imputed to me who was labouring to do justice and speak the truth impartially?
7864What was the cause of the disunion amongst them that was fruitful of such extraordinary deeds?
7864What were also the periods of life allotted to each?
7864What would he have lost if the king had revived by the grace of Kasyapa and the precautionary measures of his ministers?
7864What wrong was done to him by the gods that provoked his ire?"
7864What( act) should I do now that is consistent with duty?
7864What, O Karna, dost thou think?"''"
7864What, besides, is the business upon which thou art intent?''
7864What, indeed, am I to do?
7864What, revered Sirs, do ye wish to hear now?
7864When others desirous of acquiring religious merits do not accept gifts, how can I do what they themselves do not?"
7864When the maiden of handsome face had so sat upon his lap, the monarch said unto her,"O amiable one, what dost thou desire?
7864When these will remain quiet, how shall the illustrious son of Madri do anything?
7864Whence also are ye come?"
7864Whence also did he obtain his weapons?''
7864Whence arose that dissension amongst them, and why did they slay each other?
7864Whence dost thou come and where dost thou go?
7864Where art thou?
7864Where doth man then reside?
7864Where has he gone?
7864Where is that foremost of great Rishis, where also is that Apsara Menaka?
7864Where is that manliness of thine, those high words of thine begotten of pride, when thou must have to behold thy father bearing a dead snake?
7864Where may he have gone?
7864Wherefore hath he been beaten?''
7864Wherefore reprovest us then?
7864Who also became the Sadasyas in that terrible snake- sacrifice, so frightful to the snakes, and begetting such sorrow in them?
7864Who also can encounter Duryodhana in battle except Krishna, the son of Devaki, and Kripa, the son of Saradwan?
7864Who also is he?
7864Who also that desireth to live can overcome in battle the twins( Nakula and Sahadeva) like unto the sons of Yama himself, and well- skilled in fight?
7864Who also would approve of accepting a bride in gift as if she were an animal?
7864Who also, O sinless one, is this lady of transcendent beauty sleeping so trustfully in these woods as if she were lying in her own chamber?
7864Who amongst monarchs in prosperity or adversity would not like to have Drupada with his relatives as an ally?"''
7864Who are we to thee?
7864Who art thou and whose?
7864Who art thou, O wicked woman in ascetic guise?
7864Who can encounter Karna, the son of Radha, in fight, except Rama or Drona, or Kiriti, the son of Pandu?
7864Who else among men than the Pandavas could exhibit such might?
7864Who except Airavata would desire to move in the burning rays of the Sun?
7864Who hath beaten thee?''
7864Who hath taken her away?
7864Who is also the man that I saw?
7864Who is there that will not be charmed with such an account, as it is sacred?
7864Who is your father?
7864Who shall be equal to him?
7864Who shall believe in thy words?
7864Who, besides, are these persons of celestial beauty sleeping here?
7864Whom amongst my sons, shall I leave behind, and whom shall I carry with me?
7864Whom shall I take with me?
7864Whose daughter also was this Tilottama for whose love the maddened brothers killed each other?
7864Whose is this beautiful region, who art thou and whose daughter?"
7864Whose messenger art thou?
7864Whose son also was endued with such energy?
7864Whose son was that monarch who celebrated the snake- sacrifice?
7864Why also Kasyapa-- a Brahman-- had the king of birds for a son?
7864Why also did that illustrious and great Rishi Vasishtha himself who was acquainted with every rule of morality know a woman he should not have known?
7864Why also didst thou commit such a dreadful sin?"
7864Why also dost thou stay here?
7864Why also was that ranger of the skies capable of going into every place at will and of mustering at will any measure of energy?
7864Why also were the Vasus, the lords of the three worlds, condemned to be born amongst men?
7864Why also, O best of Brahmanas, did Bhima of mighty arms and of the strength of ten thousand elephants, control his anger, though wronged?
7864Why are they not reduced to annihilation?
7864Why didst thou tempt him into solitude?
7864Why dost thou desire the continuance of our former friendship?
7864Why dost thou kill thy own children?
7864Why dost thou then desire to bar us from it?
7864Why dost thou weep in affliction?
7864Why dost thou weep?
7864Why dost thou, O mother, wish to sacrifice thy own child for the sake of another''s?
7864Why dost thou, therefore, desire the revival of our former friendship?
7864Why dost thou, therefore, desire( to revive our) former friendship?''"
7864Why dost thou, therefore, strive to protect us at so much cost to thyself?
7864Why hast thou been a ranger of the waters?
7864Why hast thou come into the woods also?
7864Why should I not also be anxious?
7864Why should he, O king, speak a falsehood on such a serious occasion?
7864Why should, therefore, these tigers among men, who are ever truthful, give thee wicked advice, especially when thou hast never injured them?
7864Why then hast thou rashly done this unrighteous action through childishness?
7864Why then is there a pupil of thine, the mighty son of the Nishada king, superior to me?"''
7864Why will he, by showing his wrath, make the Kauravas angry with him?
7864Why, O prince, hath thy understanding become so?"
7864Why, too, was he invincible of all creatures and unslayable of all?
7864Widowed and masterless, with two children depending on me, how shall I, without thee, keep alive the pair, myself leading an honest life?
7864Will he not, therefore, certainly destroy us by adopting adequate means?
7864Will not sin touch me on that account?
7864Will not the virtuous one grant me a private interview?"''
7864Will she abandon them now that they are in prosperity?
7864Wilt thou consume us?
7864Wilt thou not treat me so, because I have come hither of my own accord?
7864Wouldst thou stand in the way of their full meals by acting as thou hast done?
7864Ye are not, I hope, backward in paying homage unto those that deserve your homage?"
7864Ye dwellers in heaven, is everything right with you?"
12333''And one among them said,Of the one who is to go with thee, who will go and who will fall down?"
12333''Skanda replied,What sort of happiness dost thou wish to enjoy?"
12333For what reason?
12333Hearing these words, Karna said,''Who art thou that tellest me so, showing me such kindness? 12333 Markandeya continued,''Then Sakra having expressed a wish to say something to Skanda, the latter enquired,"What is it?"
12333The serpent said,''O Yudhishthira, say-- Who is a_ Brahmana_ and what should be known? 12333 Yudhishthira enquired,''Which, O snake, is the higher of the two, truth or alms- giving?
12333Yudhishthira said,''By what means do Brahmanas, who accept gifts from all the four orders, save others as well as themselves?
12333Yudhishthira said,''In what race was Rama born and what was the measure of his might and prowess? 12333 Yudhishthira said,''O divine one, why wast thou cursed by the high- souled Agastya?
12333Yudhishthira said,''O holy one, O thou possessed of the wealth of asceticism, who was this_ Daitya_ of great energy? 12333 Yudhishthira said,''O thou of great wisdom, what purification is there by which a Brahmana may always keep himself pure?
12333''Is this forest under some malign influence?
12333''What shall I do?
12333''[ 68] The Yaksha asked,''By what doth one become learned?
12333''[ 69] The Yaksha asked,''What constituteth the divinity of the Brahmanas?
12333''[ 70] The Yaksha asked,''What is of the foremost value to those that cultivate?
12333''[ 72] The Yaksha asked,--''What is that which sojourneth alone?
12333A mighty warrior as he is and accomplished in arms now, will he not be able to slay you all?
12333Alas, why lie ye insensible on the earth, with your bodies unwounded, ye unvanquished ones, and with your vows untouched?''
12333Amongst us three, who shall fall down first?"
12333And Arjuna asked, saying,''How is Subhadra, and her son Abhimanyu?''
12333And I asked myself,"How doth this boy alone sit here when the world itself hath been destroyed?"
12333And Narada then said,"Whither had this thy daughter gone?
12333And O Pritha''s son, dost thou not turn thy inclination unto sinful acts?
12333And Rama skilled in speech, asked him, saying,"Who art thou?
12333And Rama then taking up his bow and quiver, addressed those monkeys, saying,"Have you been successful?
12333And afflicted with grief, they began to lament in piteous accents, saying,"Alas, O son, alas, O chaste daughter- in- law, where are you?"
12333And after the_ Rishi_ had said so, of the two that remained, one asked,"Who amongst us two shall fall down?"
12333And after those rites were ended, a strange goddess, O king, with mouth wide open, arose( from the sacrificial fire), saying,''What am I to do?''
12333And are pious men gratified, being honoured by thee?
12333And art thou intent upon virtue?
12333And as he was rushing( towards the water), he heard these words from the sky,''Why dost thou approach this water?
12333And at this Indradyumna became a horse and carried me to where that owl lived and the king asked the owl, saying,"Dost thou know me?"
12333And by what means?
12333And can a man that is troubled with fear have peace, and how can one that hath no peace have happiness?
12333And did they meet with Vaisravana?
12333And dismissing his ministers, he enquired of her in private, saying,"Blessed sister, who hath made thee so, forgetting and disregarding me?
12333And dost thou go along the way taken by the royal sages?
12333And dost thou, O best of the Kurus, properly know how to perform meritorious acts, and to eschew wicked deeds?
12333And endued as I am with the strength of ten thousand elephants, how hast thou been able to overpower me?
12333And even dwelling in the woods, dost thou follow virtue alone?
12333And for what doth one fail to go to heaven?''
12333And for what to the king?''
12333And for what, a sacrifice?''
12333And from whom did they hear this welcome news?
12333And he asked me, saying,"O son of Kunti, whither wilt thou go?"
12333And he came unto me and asked,"Dost thou know me?"
12333And he said with joined hands,"Alas, do I not know this one?
12333And how can I, who am desirous of the welfare of all creatures, commit an unrighteous act?
12333And how has thou obtained the weapons, and how also hast thou gratified the lord of the celestials?
12333And how has thou obtained the weapons?
12333And how hast thou beheld the divine_ Sakra_, and the wielder of_ Pinaka_?
12333And how should I behave so that I may not fall away from the duties of my order?''
12333And in what manner didst thou worship( them)?
12333And in whom is he established?''
12333And inflamed with desire, he said to the prince named Kotika,''Whose is this lady of faultless form?
12333And quickly advancing towards Lakshmana while reproving him still, Rama asked him,"O Lakshmana, is the princess of Videha still alive?
12333And seeing me, they asked,"O Phalguna, what art thou going to do?"
12333And she said to herself,''Of what nature are those_ mantras_ that have been bestowed on me by that high- souled one?
12333And that crane was asked by us,"Dost thou know the king Indradyumna?"
12333And the Brahmana was on the point of cursing the king, when the latter said,"O Brahmana, dost thou curse him that doth not give thee what thou askest?
12333And the crane was asked by us,"Is there any one who is older than thou?"
12333And the enquirer asked,"For what cause?"
12333And the enquirer asked,"For what reason?"
12333And the king said unto himself again and again,''Why is it that the two sons of Madri are delaying?
12333And the regenerate_ Rishi_ said to them,"How hath a Brahmana come to be killed by you, and say where may be he?
12333And the royal sage Indradyumna thereupon asked the owl,"Is there any one who is older than thou?"
12333And then, O thou conqueror of hostile cities, the_ Muni_ Tarkshya, addressed them, saying,"Ye princes, can this be the Brahmana of your killing?
12333And thereupon the enquirer asked,"For what cause?"
12333And they who saw her asked themselves,''Is this an Apsara, or a daughter of the gods, or a celestial phantom?''
12333And thus addressed, the king said,"Hath any one, before this, seen birds thus speak the pure speech of man?
12333And what also did they do, when the twelfth year of their exile passed away?
12333And what also is his chief refuge?''
12333And what did the offspring of the Sun, Karna, and the mighty Sakuni, and Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa do?
12333And what did those exceedingly powerful ones, gifted with manliness, do?
12333And what do ye desire?''
12333And what hath been called simplicity?''
12333And what hath been spoken of as grief?''
12333And what he, that is devoted to virtue?''
12333And what is charity?''
12333And what is envy?''
12333And what is more numerous than grass?''
12333And what is of the foremost value to those that bring forth?''
12333And what is pride?
12333And what is shame?''
12333And what is that which if renounced, maketh one happy?''
12333And what is that which sacrifice can not do without?''
12333And what is that which swells with its own impetus?''
12333And what is the best of all kinds of happiness?''
12333And what is the largest field?''
12333And what is this entire Universe?''
12333And what is true restraint?
12333And what is_ the_ news?
12333And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?''
12333And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?''
12333And what was the food of those high- souled ones, when those heroes of the worlds dwelt( there)?
12333And what, as poison?
12333And what, of happiness?''
12333And what, patience?
12333And when the_ Asura_ was gone, Indra said to that lady,"Who and whose wife art thou, O lady with a beautiful face, and what has brought thee here?"''"
12333And where do the actions of an animated being who is dead find their resting place?''
12333And where is that same sable person that was dragging me away?"
12333And who are they with whom an alliance can not break?''
12333And who is the friend of one about to die?''
12333And who is this best of serpents having a body like unto a mountain mass?''
12333And why also hast thou assumed the shape of a monkey?
12333And why doth Bhima too, endued with great strength, delay?
12333And why doth the wielder also of the_ Gandiva_ delay?
12333And, O Bharata, her father asked her every morning and evening saying,''O daughter, is the Brahmana satisfied with thy ministrations?''
12333And, O Pandava, has thou adequately secured the weapons?
12333And, O Partha, doth not Dhaumya grieve at thy conduct?
12333And, O Partha, hath not thy attention to thy father and thy mother diminished?
12333And, O best of righteous men among the twice- born, in what way is an embodied animated being joined by his good and evil deeds that seek him out?
12333And, O best of those that are proficient in the knowledge of God, how is it that men''s actions follow them?
12333And, O descendant of Bhrigu, is what we experience in this world the result of the acts of this very life?
12333And, O eminently pious one, to whom and in what prescribed way did he give it?
12333And, O evil- minded one, having partaken of our food, how canst thou carry us off?
12333And, O foremost of reptiles, what wilt thou do with me?
12333And, O foremost of the Bharatas, being frightened, he again and again cried,"Where art thou?"
12333And, O king, he also said unto me,"Why hast thou, transgressing the rules of hunting, hit the animal first hit at by me?
12333And, O king, how can one acquire intelligence?''
12333And, O king, on seeing this wonderful city of the Daityas, I asked Matali saying,"What is this that looketh so wonderful?"
12333And, O king, whence also doth she come?
12333And, O messenger of the gods, what constitutes happiness in heaven, and what are the disadvantages thereof?
12333Answer_ me_ who enquire of thee?
12333Are all thy superiors, and the aged, and those versed in the Vedas, honoured by thee?
12333Art thou a Siddha, or a god, or a Gandharva, or a Guhyaka?
12333Art thou a friend of ours, or even our father himself?''
12333Art thou not ashamed?
12333Art thou possessed of any magic, or hast thou received any boon, that although exerting myself, I have been overcome by thee?
12333Art thou the foremost of the Vasus, or of the Rudras, or of the chief of the Maruts?
12333Art thou, as sole ruler, governing with justice the rich countries of Saivya, Sivi, Sindhu and others that thou hast brought under thy sway?
12333Aswapati then said,"And is the prince Satyavan liberal in gifts and devoted to the Brahmanas?
12333Beautiful lady, how is it that they are so obedient to thee and are never angry with thee?
12333Benefited as thou has been, whence is this unreasonable grief of thine?
12333But as in cold, heat doth not exist, nor in heat, cold, so there can not exist an object in which both( happiness and misery) can not exist?''
12333But how can one like us, acquainted with every truth of morality, embrace even for a moment a woman that had fallen into other''s hands?
12333But what can I do?
12333By obtaining which, or by knowing what wilt thou receive satisfaction, O snake, and what food shall I give thee?
12333By what doth he attain what is very great?
12333Do thou understand this?
12333Do thy subjects continue to pay thee the same allegiance that they used to pay thee before?
12333Dost thou follow the customs of thy ancestors, by charity, and religious observances, and asceticism, and purity, and candour, and forgiveness?
12333Dost thou not exalt thyself?
12333Dost thou not know, O hawk, that this creature looketh like a sacrifice with the_ Soma_ juice?
12333Dost thou not pay heed unto the established order of nature?
12333Dost thou not think so?
12333Engaged as thou are, what canst thou do to me with these angry glances of thine?
12333Exaltest thou thy husband above them?
12333Exquisitely beautiful as thou art, how is it that thou feelest not any fear in these forests?
12333For what are friends forsaken?
12333For what didst thou do all this?''
12333For what may a kingdom be considered as dead?
12333For what may a_ Sraddha_ be considered as dead?
12333For what to mimes and dancers?
12333For what to servants?
12333Forsaking Arjuna the might of whose arm is worshipped by all the sons of Pandu, why dost thou wish Nakula to revive?''
12333From what motive then dost thou wish a step- brother to revive?
12333Hast thou even seen or heard of any chaste and exalted lady that resembleth this daughter of Drupada?''
12333Hast thou, adorable sir, reached this place without any difficulty?"''
12333Hath thou ever seen or heard of such a one before?''"
12333Have the lord of the celestials and_ Rudra_ gladly granted thee the weapons?
12333Having afflicted thy enemies by thy prowess, why dost thou wish for death?
12333Having once tasted the sweet wine prepared from honey or flowers, how can a woman, I fancy, relish the wretched arrak from rice?"
12333He fell down upon the ground, and screaming loudly said,''I have harmed no one, what sinful man has done this?''
12333He then asked me,"Is there any one who is longer lived than thou?"
12333Hearing these words, Yudhishthira said,''Art thou the foremost of the Rudras, or of the Vasus, or of the Marutas?
12333How also do men pass it over?
12333How can I answer thee, O lady, about the cause that is pursued by wicked females?
12333How can a she- elephant, who hath lived with the mighty leader of a herd with rent temples forsake him and live with a hog?
12333How can man, thereof, have salvation?
12333How can one have a second?
12333How can we enter the city without thee?''"
12333How can, then, the wife do the least injury to her lord?
12333How canst thou act so, leaving thy followers in the midst of thy foes?''
12333How canst thou, O Rakshasa, ravish her when I am alive?
12333How canst thou, forsaking Bhima whose strength is equal to that of ten thousand elephants, wish Nakula to live?
12333How could I, therefore, slay thee, who wert thus innocent of offence, and who wert in the disguise of a Brahmana?
12333How could then illusion overpower you?
12333How could things thus antagonistic to one another exist together?''
12333How else could he have thus commanded us that are dwellers of heaven, as if indeed, we were his servants?
12333How hath the dead come to life again?
12333How long also, O chastiser of foes, wilt thou stay here?
12333How shall I ever speak with them?
12333How then is god the agent?
12333How wouldst thou, therefore, be able to walk on foot?"
12333How, again, can one like us raise such obstacles in the way of the merchants?

15476I hope thou feelest no pain now, remembering their rejection by thee?
15476I hope thou feelest no pain now, remembering thy rejection of those counsels?
15476I now turn to the question, which, O Gandharva, thou askest, viz., What is Universe and what is not- universe?
15476I shall not do the slightest injury to any creature, what need be said then of those that dwell in villages and towns?
15476I shall today, in the very presence of Vasudeva, despatch all the Pancalas, by all means in my power, to the abode of Yama?
15476I then besought him, saying,"When, O Brahmana, shall this curse end?"
15476I used to sport with thee before, O dear lord, but where are those joys now?
15476If I do not accept what has been given by this Brahmana, how shall I avoid being stained with a great sin?''

15476If after resorting the Vedas to Brahmana, Narayana to his own nature, where would his form be that had the horse- head?
15476If it be true that thou hast been emancipated from all bonds, what harm have I done thee by entering thy person with only my Intellect?

15476If there be no king, what would become of his wife and acquisition?''
15476If this be your duty, that one should never be slain by many, why is it then that Abhimanyu was slain by many, acting in accord with thy counsels?
15476If this virtue that thou now invokest was nowhere on those occasions, what is the use then of parching thy palate now, by uttering that word?
15476If thou hadst not been the protector of Phalguna in dreadful battle, how could then this sea of troops have been capable of being vanquished?
15476If thou hadst slain the king, O Partha, what wouldst thou have done after that?
15476If thou takest such meat, where would then the distinction be between persons of those orders and men like Chandalas?
15476If, again, thou canst act up to thy resolution of abandoning everything, then who am I to thee, who art thou to me, and what can be thy grace to me?
15476If, indeed, O Yudhishthira, Duryodhana select thee for battle, or Arjuna, or Nakula, or Sahadeva( what will be the consequence)?
15476If, on the other hand, one gives away a cow while one is not in the observance of any particular mode of life, will that pious gift produce no merit?
15476If, therefore, the king does not give( food) where will the pious that are desirous of salvation go?
15476In energy and fame and beauty, who else in the three worlds can equal Him than you two that have been born in the race of Dharma?

15476In what their purity?
15476In what way should I behave so that this blazing prosperity that I have won and that scorches all my enemies may not desert me?''
15476In whom shall my people then find an authority for guiding them?
15476In whose race was he born?
15476Indeed that best of ascetics, O monarch, wondered much, saying,''How could this one be seen in the ocean and again in my hermitage?''
15476Indeed when thy life is being incessantly shortened, why dost thou not run to preceptors( for learning the means of rescue)?
15476Indeed, by whom has this universe with its oceans, its firmament, its mountains, its clouds, its lands, its fire, and its wind, been created?
15476Indeed, having taken up that foremost of weapons, the great god began to say,''Where is he?
15476Indeed, if those duties be censurable, then why should not the Supreme Ordainer be censured?
15476Indeed, what is That which is said to be indestructible, suspicious, beneficial and free from evil of every kind?
15476Indeed, when all qualities, good or bad, enter a person, urged by Nature, what ground is there for one to boast( of one''s superior possessions)?
15476Indeed, whence their creation and destruction?
15476Indeed, who else than thou could utter such cruel speeches?
15476Indeed, why is it that canes are not washed down by any of you, uprooted from the banks where they grow?''
15476Indeed, why should they not perform wicked acts?''
15476Invincible as thou wert in battle, how, alas, hast thou been slain by the Parthas?
15476Is Krishna superior to thee in might of arms, O king?

15476Is every thing right with that dear spouse of mine in the forest?
15476Is everything the result of Chance in the world, or are the fruits that we enjoy or suffer, the results of( previous) action?

15476Is it Emancipation that thou wouldst pursue( in the usual way), i.e., by retiring into solitude and betaking thyself to Sannyasa?
15476Is it by penance, by Brahmacharya, by renunciation of everything, by intelligence, by the aid of the Sankhya philosophy, or by Yoga?
15476Is it by penances, or by the understanding, or by religious acts( like sacrifices, and vows), or by study and knowledge of the scriptures?''
15476Is it due to any act of mine or is it due to any act that Vali has done?''
15476Is it due to thy heroism or thy having waited with reverence upon aged persons?
15476Is it due to thy mind having been cleansed by penances?
15476Is it obtainable by the aid of knowledge or by that of penances?''
15476Is it that learning by which, when error is dispelled, the truth becomes discovered?
15476Is it to be judged speedily or with delay?"
15476Is it, O child, the case that Pavana is pleased with thee and is thy friend so that he protects thee always in these woods?
15476Is man, however, to be regarded as their doer or is he not to be regarded so?
15476Is not this a perversity of understanding on thy part, since thou art by nature an eater of carrion?
15476Is such a man to be regarded as following the ordinances of Sankhya or yoga or work?
15476Is that person, O Sanjaya, worthy of honour who behaveth thus towards a man possessed of glory endued with prosperity, living in the midst of friends?
15476Is the illustrious Grandsire of all the worlds any way different from or inferior to the great Narayana?
15476Is there no distinction then among duties or observances in respect of their beneficial character?
15476Is there or is there not consciousness in the emancipate state?
15476Is this due, O son of Diti, to the acquisition of wisdom or is it on account of thy fortitude?
15476It is again well known that nobody asks any of these, saying, who art thou?
15476It might be asked that when there were no men as yet to worship or to condemn such worship, how could the two arise?

15476Many of them loudly exclaimed,"What is this?"
15476Markest thou not that the Kauravas,( standing behind Karna), are even now shouting in joy?

15476O thou of unfading glory, are all thy faculties in their full vigour?
15476O thou that art eagerly desirous of enjoying all agreeable objects, how is it that thou art not yet satiated with objects of desire?
15476Observant as thou art of the duties of a Kshatriya, dost thou not rejoice, O son of Pandu?
15476Of what avail would then the distinction be between heedfulness and heedlessness?
15476Of what is he made?

15476Of what kind is the life of living creatures?
15476Of what kind is the life of living creatures?
15476Of whom, O Madhava, will the Kurus enquire of religion and duty after that bull among men, Devavrata, who resembles a god, shall have gone to heaven?
15476Oh, how shall I dwell in those forms?
15476Oh, tell me how will that man be freed from all those great terrors?
15476Oh, why didst thou not spare, O child, even one son of this old couple deprived of kingdom, one whose offences were lighter?
15476Old as I am, how shall I now submit to the sway of enemies?

15476One, therefore, being oneself so infirm, what rational consideration can one have for protecting and feeding one''s relatives?
15476Or, is it for service both here and hereafter?
15476Or, is it that course of duties consisting of acts to be done or achieved, by the aid of which the object sought may be understood or attained?
15476Or, is it that course of duties, called abstention from acts, by which an extension of the Soul is to be sought?

15476Prahlada asked the form, saying,"Who art thou?"
15476Reflecting on this, who is there that will yield to grief?
15476Reflecting on thy own instability, why dost thou grieve for them?
15476Reflecting upon this, how can one feel any affection for one''s body?
15476Repairing to Bharadwaja, he asked the Rishi about the truths of the science of Profit,--saying,--How can an unacquired object be acquired?

15476Seeing Vikartana''s son slain in single combat by Savyasaci, and the Pandavas crowned with victory, what indeed, did Duryodhana say?
15476Seeing me with thee, why will not thy dear spouse and thy loving children cheerfully eat me up?
15476Seeing this, Krishna asked him,"What is this?
15476Shakra, coming down from heaven, asked him the reason, saying,"Why O king, art thou employed( in this task) with such perseverance?
15476Shall these live after birth?
15476Shall they be able to give us happiness in this and the other world?''
15476Shall they grow in might and be objects of regard on earth?
15476Should he seek the acquisition of wealth by evil means, or should he lay down his life without seeking wealth?"
15476Should he select one already made or should he cause one to be especially constructed?
15476Should one sacrifice with the goat or with herbs and plants?
15476Similarly, O Bharata, of what use is the forest to him that has no self- control?
15476Similarly, what need is there for a king that is not competent to grant protection?
15476Similarly, who will wonder if I were described as one possessed of the full measure of fame?
15476Smiling, he then asked the gods,''Who will become my driver?''
15476Sought to be made a prey by three foes, how should I now act for saving my life?
15476Tell me also truly, O illustrious one, what is that which the very Vedas have not been able to reveal?

15476Tell us, therefore, who is to be the generalissimo of my forces now, placing whom at our head, all of us, united together, may vanquish the Pandavas?"
15476That Being, thus created, stood before the great god, with joined hands, and said,"What commands shall I have to accomplish?"
15476The Daitya chief addressed it, saying,"Who art thou?"
15476The King said,--''By what conduct, O holy one may one transcend decrepitude and death?
15476The body being non- existent, what then is the real refuge of the knowledge?
15476The king replied unto him, saying,''Why should I not bear anything thou wilt say, since I am not blind to what is for my good?
15476The question is then mentally stated,--May not the Gunas be the qualities of the knowledge( instead of being, as said above, its refuge)?
15476The sage began to reflect, saying to himself,''What is best for me to do now?''
15476The sense seems to be this: Is it a life of domesticity that thou wouldst lead?
15476The son of Rohini then, in sorrowful words, enquired of the Rishi, saying,''What is the state of the field?
15476The unfading Brahma, soothing him by soft words, said unto him,"O Sharva, what wert thou doing so long within the water?
15476The very women did not quarrel with one another, what need then be said of the men?

15476Then Bhoja and Sharadvata''s son, those high- souled persons, addressed him, saying,"Why dost thou yoke the steeds to thy car?
15476Then Vasudeva, addressing Partha, said,"Why, O sinless one, dost thou sport in this way?

15476Then the chief of the Dasharhas addressed Arjuna and said,"Why errest thou in thus sparing Ashvatthama?
15476Then, again, when I have no real connection with even my body, how then can I be said to have any contact with the bodies of others?
15476These men must be regarded as Mahajanas and Sadhus, but how can their conduct be regarded as righteous?
15476This direction or command is certainly terrible, for who can make up his mind to part with all his wealth for completing a sacrifice?
15476Those questions are as follows: What is universe and what is not- universe?
15476Thou art incapable of being known by the gods, how then canst thou be known by me?
15476Thou wouldst not speak of this( thy present motion) because of its having been a mystery to us?

15476Thyself an object of grief, why dost thou grieve( for others)?
15476To what reason is thy entrance to be ascribed into my kingdom or my palace?
15476To what regions shall I go( thereafter), having perpetrated such infamous deeds?

15476Upon what indeed, shall I once more speak to thee?''"''"
15476Upon what woman did Vyasa, endued with wealth of asceticism, beget that son of his?
15476Upon what, O Srinjaya, dost thou reflect in silence?
15476Upon whom should the king repose confidence and upon whom should he not?"
15476Vasishtha''s work commences with the query-- What is dharmah?
15476Viradyumna once more questioned that foremost of ascetics in these words:"''"''The king said,"What is the measure of the thinness of Hope?
15476Was it not improper for thee to publish that private act before all thy court?
