'''Sahasrabahu''' is a legendary warrior in Indian history. According to legend, he was a contemporary of [[Ravana]]. He fought many fights and won all of them except one with [[Parashurama|Parashuram]] who killed all the [[Kshatriya]] Kings to take revenge of his parents' death to save the [[Brahmin]] society from exploitation of Kshatriyas.<br />
<br />
Sahasrabahu is also known as [[Kartavirya Arjuna]]. He got a boon from Lord [[Dattatreya]] to be empowered with the power of 1000 arms. In his initial life he did work for development of society but later on he became arrogant and started misusing his power. He destroyed ashrams and exploited Brahmins. He also killed [[Rishi]] [[Jamadagni]] who was the father of Parashuram. To avenge his father's death, Parashuram killed Sahasrabahu.<br />

==Spelling confusion==<br />
Saha'''sr'''a<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shabdkosh.com/sa/translate/sahasra/sahasra-meaning-in-Sanskrit-English|title=Sahasra}}</ref>is the correct prefix that means "a thousand", not Saha'''s'''T'''r'''a. However, it is invariably misspelled as the latter. Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "[[Sahasrara|Sahasrara Chakra]]" or when it occurs in family names (example: Sahasrabuddhe<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vinaysahasrabuddhe.in/|title=Sahasrabuddhe}}</ref>) ''without'' a T. Also see [[Sahasralinga]]. The confusion arises because the [[Devanagari]] letter "sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) to make "sra" (स्र), which looks like "stra" (स्त्र).<br />
