Vrishaketu (Sanskrit: वृषकेतु, romanized: Vṛṣaketu) is a character in the Hindu Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. He is the son of Karna and Vrishali and the youngest of Karna's sons. Following the events of the Kurukshetra War, Arjuna trains Vrishaketu, later making him the king of Anga.

Legend[edit]

Vrishaketu was the youngest son of Karna. He was the only son of Karna to survive the Kurukshetra War. Once Karna's identity as the eldest son of Kunti was revealed, he was taken under the patronage of the Pandavas and received the kingdom of Anga. Before the ashvamedha yajna of Yudhishthira, he took part in Arjuna's battles against a number of kings.[1] Vrishaketu was an active participant in Yudhishthira's ashvamedha yajna, capturing King Anushalva of the Chandravamsha dynasty.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
