Mahabharata

English

Parikshit or Parīkshit (C. has in book I ºrīº,  in books X-XVII ºriº
 B. mostly ºriº),  son of Abhimanyu and Uttarā,  and father of Janamejaya. § 11 (Parvasaṅgr.): I,  2,  606 (ºaḥ…janma,  ºrīº also B.).--§ 51 (cf. Āstīkap.): One day king P.,  the son of Abhimanyu,  when hunting,  having pierced a deer lost sight of it. He then asked the muni Śamīka,  but received no answer as the muni was then observing the vow of silence
 in anger the king then placed upon the muni's shoulder a dead snake and returned to his capital Hāstinapura. Of this the muni's son Śṛṅgin was informed in a quarrel by his companion Kṛśa (I,  40),  and then cursed P.,  saying that within seven nights he should be stung to death by Takshaka. The muni was not pleased with the curse,  as P. properly protected his subjects (I,  41). Therefore he sent his disciple Gauramukha to inform P.,  who became very repentant and sorrowful. A mansion was erected upon a solitary column and well guarded. The seventh day the brahman Kāśyapa was coming desirous of curing the king. Takshaka in the shape of an old brahman met with Kāśyapa (I,  42). As Kāśyapa revived a banyan which had been reduced to ashes by being bitten by Takshaka,  Takshaka gave to Kāśyapa more wealth than what he expected from P.,  and having ascertained by means of yoga that P.'s span of life was at an end,  Kāśyapa retired. Takshaka went to Hāstinapura,  and hearing that P. was protected by poison-neutralizing mantras and medicines,  he caused some serpents in the guise of ascetics to present the king with kuśa-grass,  water,  and fruits,  in one of which he himself was concealed as a tiny ugly insect. As such he appeared when P. was eating the fruit. P. said: “The sun is setting,  to-day I have no more fear from poison
 therefore let this insect becoming Takshaka bite me so that the words of the ascetic may be rendered true.” Then he placed the insect on his neck and was bitten by Takshaka,  who coiled round his neck and uttered a tremendous roar (I,  43): I,  40,  1664 (Kauravavaṃśajaḥ),  1670,  1673 (rājā …Abhimanyujaḥ,  ºrīº also B.)
 41,  1692,  1696 (rājā …Abhimanyujaḥ),  1709,  1716
 42,  1737,  1762 (nṛpaṃ Kurukulotpaṅnaṃ).--§ 56 (do.): The ministers of Janamejaya told him about P.,  that he was virtuous,  a pupil of Śāradvata (i.e. Kṛpa) in the science of arms and dear to Govinda (i.e. Kṛshṇa),  and that he had got his name because he was born by Uttarā,  “parikshīṇeshu Kurushu, ” and that he ruled sixty years
 that being addicted to hunting he made over all affairs of state to his ministers
 then how he insulted Śamīka,  and his death (cf. § 51)
 they also mentioned that Takshaka had insulted the ṛshi Uttaṅka: I,  49,  1934,  1947 (Saubhadrasyātmajaḥ)
 50,  1980 (rājā Kuruśreshṭhaḥ).--§ 160 (Pūruvaṃś.): I,  95,  ††3836 (parikshīṇa kule jātaḥ),  ††3837 (married Mādravatī).--§ 617 (Aishīkap.)
 X,  16,  724 (parikshīṇeshu Kurushu putras tava bhavishyati | etad asya Pºtvaṃ),  725,  734,  737 (being still a fœtus P. was slain by Aśvatthāman,  but-Kṛshṇa promised to revive him).--§ 785 (Anugītāp.): XIV,  66,  1943 (was still-born)
 70,  2044 (was revived by Kṛshṇa
 parikshīṇe kule yasmād jāto 'yam Abhimanyujaḥ | Pºd iti nāmāsya bhavishyati)
 78,  2288 (Abhimanyor yathā jātaḥ).--§ 788 (Āśramavāsap.): XV,  21,  591 (Vairāṭyās tanayaṃ…pitaraṃ te,  i.e. Janamejaya's).--§ 790 (Putradarśanap.): XV,  35,  944 (Janamejaya wished to see P.,  Vyāsa then summoned him from the other world).--§ 791 (Mahāprasthānikap.): XVII,  1,  7,  9,  15,  28 (when the Pāṇḍavas left this world P. was installed as king in Hāstinapura. Kṛpa became his preceptor). Cf. Abhimanyoḥ sutaḥ,  Abhimanyuja,  Bharataśreshṭha,  Kirīṭitanayātmaja,  Kuruśreshṭha,  Kurukulādhama,  Kurunandana,  Kururāja,  Kuruvardhana,  Pāṇḍaveya.

Parikshit^2 or Parīkshit,  son of Avikshit. § 154 (Pūruvaṃś.): I,  94,  3741 (son of Avikshit
 ºriº both C. and B.),  3743 (father of Janamejaya^5,  etc.
 ºrīº both C. and B.).

Parikshit^3 (C.) or Parīkshit (B.),  a-king of Ayodhyā. § 461 (Vāmadevac.): III,  192,  ††13145 (Ayodhyāyām Ikshvākuḥ,  married the daughter of the frog king,  etc.)

Vedic Reference

English

 Pari-kṣit appears in the Atharvaveda^1 as a king in whose
realm,  that of the Kurus,  prosperity and peace abound. The
verses in which he is celebrated are later^2 called Pārikṣityaḥ, 
and the Brāhmaṇas explain that Agni is pari-kṣit because he
dwells among men. Hence Roth^3 and Bloomfield^4 regard
Parikṣit in the Atharvaveda not as a human king at all. This
may be correct,  but it is not certain. Both Zimmer^5 and
Oldenberg^6 recognize Parikṣit as a real king,  a view supported
by the fact that in the later Vedic literature King Janamejaya
bears the patronymic Pārikṣita. If this be so,  Parikṣit
belonged to the later period,  since the Atharvan passage in
which his name occurs is certainly late,  and none of the other
Saṃhitās know Parikṣit at all. The Epic^7 makes him grandfather
of Pratiśravas and great-grandfather of Pratīpa,  and Zimmer, ^5
probably with justice,  compares the Prātisutvana and Pratīpa
found in another late Atharvan passage.^8 But Devāpi and
Śantanu cannot be brought into connexion with Pratīpa.^9

witz,  Die Apokryphen des Veda,  156,

Parikṣit,  not Parīkṣit.

9) Devāpi is really a Brahmin,  son
of Ṛṣṭiṣeṇa,  and not connected directly
with Śantanu. Yāska,  Nirukta,  ii. 10, 
identifies them as brothers and Kurus
but the former part of the identification
is,  no doubt,  wrong.
