Vrishasena was the son of Karna and Vrushali. He was the eldest son of Karna.[1] He was referred as Maharathi by Bhishma.[2] With his father, he entered battle field on the 11th day of Kurukshetra war and fought for Kauravas . He was also one of the greatest archer for the Kauravas. Vrishasena was killed on the 17th day of the battle.
Kurukshetra War
During the Kurukshetra war, Karna did not take part for the first ten days due to the dispute he had with Bhishma. Only when Bhishma fell on the tenth day, did Karna and his son Vrishasena join the Kauravas to fight against Pandavas on the eleventh day in the Kurukshetra war. Vrishasena with his archery skills displayed immense prowess in the war. He was described as one of the foremost car warriors by Bhishma before the war.[3] Vrishasena was the youngest warrior to fight in Kurukshetra War. He was named Maharathi by Bhishma when he was fourteen years old. His talent was applauded by Lord Krishna. As per advice from Lord Krishna, Arjuna attacked Vrishasena fiercely and fired four razor headed arrows, cutting off Vrishasena's bow, his tow arms and then his head in front of his father as revenge for the part Karna took in Abhimanyu's killing.but according to real Mahabharata karna had not taken revenge by killing Abhimanyu.[4][5] He also supported his father(Karna) when he is in pain due to removal of Kavach and kundal given to Indra in favour of Arjuna victory.
