Senābindu and Krodhahasta

Senābindu and Krodhahasta were warriors allied with the Pāṇḍavas. Bhīshma names them as a pair among the Pāṇḍava rathas (chariot-warriors) at Kurukshetra.

In Bhīshma’s count of warriors

The name Senābindu means “drop of the army”, or “army-drop”. The name Krodhahasta means “wrathful hand”, or “rage-fist”. Bhīshma names the two together among the Pāṇḍava rathas in his Rathātiratha-Saṃkhyāna, his count of the rathas and atirathas (chariot-warriors and the greater chariot-warriors). Both fought as allies in the Pāṇḍava army at Kurukshetra. In Bhīshma’s full count, each is rated as a ratha.
