In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Vrishasena (Sanskrit: वृषसेन, romanized: Vṛṣasena) was the eldest son of the warrior Karna.[1] Along with his father, he fought in the Kurukshetra war from the side of the Kauravas. Vrishasena was killed by Arjuna. His wife was Devesvari.[2]
Kurukshetra War
During the Kurukshetra war, Karna did not take part for the first ten days due to the dispute he had with Bhishma. After Bhishma's fall on the 10th day of the war, Karna and his sons, including Vrishasena, joined the war on the 11th day and fought against the Pandavas.
11th day
On the 11th day of the war, Vrishasena overwhelmed Satanika, the son of Nakula in a single combat, and afterwards fought against the other Upapandavas.[3]
14th day
On the night of the 14th day, Vrishasena engaged in a single combat against Drupada, the King of Panchala, and defeated him.[4] Following, Drupada's defeat, he defeated Drupada's army and compelled them to retreat.
17th day
On the 17th day of the war, Vrishasena engaged in a single combat against Nakula and destroyed his chariot.[5] After that, Nakula mounted on Bhima's chariot, but Vrishasena continued to strike both of them. Then Bhima asked Arjuna to kill Vrishasena, and after a fierce battle, Arjuna killed him.[6]
