== Life as a warrior ==

Following the wishes of queen Satyavati, [[Bhishma]] had placed Chitrangada on the throne of the kingdom of the [[Kuru (kingdom)|Kurus]] after Shantanu's departure. Chitrangada was a great warrior and defeated many powerful enemies and [[Asura]]s. Finally, the king of the [[Gandharva]]s, who was his namesake, came to challenge him. A fierce battle took place between the two warriors on the bank of the river Hiranyavati, lasting three years. In the end the king of the Gandharvas defeated the Kuru king and killed him.<ref>{{cite book|title=Myths and Legends from India - Great Women|last=Bhanu|first=Sharada|publisher=Macmillan India Limited|year=1997|location=Chennai|isbn=0-333-93076-2|page=6}}</ref> After having performed the rites of the dead, [[Bhishma]] immediately consecrated Chitrangada's younger brother [[Vichitravirya]] to the kingdom.<ref>van Buitenen (1973), p. 227; Mbhr. 1.95.5-14 (Pune Critical Edition)</ref>
