Kshemadhurti

Kshemadhurti was a warrior on the Kaurava side in the war at Kurukshetra. The Śalya Parva calls him a Mleccha king of the Śālvas, and says Sātyaki killed him on the eighteenth day of the war.

In the Droṇa Parva

Kshemadhurti is named in the Droṇa Parva of the Mahābhārata among the Kaurava fighters. This is the part of the war in which Droṇācārya held the supreme command of the Kaurava army. The Droṇa Parva does not tell of his fights one by one.

In the Śalya Parva

The Śalya Parva (Chapter 21) names Kshemadhurti as a Mleccha (barbarian) and a Śālva king. He fought for the Kauravas on the eighteenth day of the war. Sātyaki killed him in the course of that day’s fighting.
