Pṛshadhra (Droṇa Parva)

Pṛshadhra was a warrior killed by Aśvatthāmā in the Droṇa Parva of the Mahābhārata. He is a different person from Pṛshadhra, the son of Manu who killed a cow by mistake in the Purāṇic accounts. That Pṛshadhra belongs to the line of the Sūrya dynasty. The two share only a name.

His death

Pṛshadhra was one of the warriors killed by Aśvatthāmā when he struck back after the killing of Droṇācārya. He fell with Hemamālin and Candrasena in Aśvatthāmā’s campaign of destruction in the Droṇa Parva. (Mahābhārata, Droṇa Parva)
