Vikarna was one of [[Dronacharya]]'s students who excelled in archery like Arjuna. On completing their training, Drona asked the [[Kauravas]] to bring him [[Drupada]] as a [[Dakshina|guru dakshina]]. [[Duryodhana]], [[Dushasana]], [[Yuyutsu]], Vikarna, and the remaining Kauravas with the [[Hastinapura]] army attacked [[Panchala|Pañchala]]. Their attack was repelled.

In some folktales of [[Mahabharata]] of the Shanti Parva, Vikarna abducted a beautiful princess. [[Narada]] did not take the name of the princess but sources name her [[Sudeshnavati (Mahabharata)|Sudeshnavati]], who was a friend of [[Bhanumati (Mahabharata)|Bhanumati]] and the other was also described by Narada. Folklores name her Indumati. Jyotsyana was a daughter of Vikarna and Sudeshnavati. While, Durga and other 10 unnamed daughters were the children of Vikarna and Indumati. | |||
