Purumitrā

Purumitrā was a warrior allied with the Kauravas. The Mahābhārata names him in the Udyoga Parva among the Kaurava forces.

Where he is named

The Udyoga Parva names Purumitrā in two places. In Chapter 57 he appears in the listing of both armies. In Chapter 66, Arjuna sends a message through Sañjaya to the court of Dhṛtarāshṭra. In that message Arjuna names each great warrior on the Kaurava side whom the Pāṇḍavas must face at Kurukshetra, and Purumitrā is among them.

He is listed with Viviṃśati, Vikarṇa, Citrasena and Jalasandha.
