Pṛṣadhra (Droṇa Parva)

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

His death

Pṛṣadhra 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)
