Princess Nirjara came in the [[Kurukshetra War]], but finally fought with [[Dushasana]], which has a context about her in the [[Stri Parva]]. [[Shanti Parva]] mentions her emotions like a warrior. Infact, she was a warrior, and she adopted the title &quot;Maharathi&quot;, in which she was later known as ''Maharathi Nirjara'' (meaning warrior Nirjara). She was the princess of [[Dholakpura]], which is mentioned in the [[Mahabharata]] also. As a warrior, she pierced a arrow in Dushasana's neck but finally he marries her in the [[Hastinapura]], which has the information about [[Dushasana]]'s marriage in the [[Shanti Parva]]. Nirjara was also a short tempered woman who later resulted in the marriage of [[Kaurava]] [[Dushasana]] and later became his wife. They later have a son named Duryodhana (not to be confused with the Kaurava [[Duryodhana]]) and a daughter named Sirat.<br /> <br /> ==War==<br /> ===Story of the Shanti Parva===<br /> Finally, Suddenly, a beautiful princess named Nirjara appears in the [[Bharatayuddha]], in which every warrior is shocked to see a woman in the war.

[[Duryodhana]] and [[Ashwatthama]] were also shooted with her arrows. But, finally [[Dushasana]] comes to fight with her. Nirjara and Dushasana keep fighting and fighting. Nobody winning and nobody losing. Nirjara finally stops shooting [[Dushasana]]. Dushasana shoots her with one arrow when finally Nirjara loses the war. Later, she married him and became the daughter in law of [[Dhritarashtra]] and [[Gandhari (Mahabharata)|Gandhari]].<br /> <br /> ==Nirjara's offspring==<br /> Nirjara and [[Dushasana]] had a son named Duryodhana and a daughter named Sirat.
