Vrishaketu: Difference between revisions

'''Vrishaketu''' is a central figure in the [[Sanskrit]] epic ''[[Mahabharata]]''. He was the son of [[Karna]] and Princess Supriya, Bhanumati and Geeta's friend and also the youngest of Karna and Supriya's sons. He was the main protagonist of post-war Mahabharat. He was the only surviving son of Karna as he didn't participate in the [[Kurukshetra War]] because of his young age. After [[Arjuna]] got to know that Karna was his elder brother, he trained Vrishaketu. Later, Vrishaketu went to the kingdom of [[Manipur (Mahabharata)|Manipura]] with Arjuna and was killed by [[Babruvahana]], Arjuna and [[Chitrāngadā|Chitrangada]]'s son in a battle. In some versions of the epic, Vrishaketu was revived by Krishna, as Arjuna was crestfallen having failed to keep his promise to take care of his elder brother's son.
