Śatrujit (son of Rājādhideva)

Śatrujit · śatru-jit, “the conqueror of foes”

Śatrujit is a Yādava prince of the line of Bhajamāna, one of the sons of the hero Rājādhideva. He is not the Śatrujit of the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, the father of Ṛtadhvaja.

His family

The Brahma Purāṇa gives the line of Bhajamāna. Bhajamāna’s son was Vidūratha, chief among chariot-warriors, and Vidūratha’s son was the hero Rājādhideva. Rājādhideva’s sons were Datta, Atidatta, Śoṇāśva, Śvetavāhana, Śamī, Daṇḍaśarma, Dantaśatru and Śatrujit, and his daughters were Śravaṇā and Śravishṭhā. Through his brother Śamī the line went on to Pratikshatra, Svayambhoja and Bhadika, the father of Kṛtavarmā and Śatadhanvā.
