Lakshaṇa of Kānyakubja

Lakshaṇa

Lakshaṇa is the son of Ratnabhānu of Kānyakubja and the pillar of the Śukla line. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that among the aṃśa births foretold by Bhagavān Śiva, the very mighty Nakula would be born as this son of Ratnabhānu.

Lakshaṇa died fighting in Kurukshetra. After he died, all the chief kshatriya kings came to their end there.
