Subhūshaṇa

Subhūshaṇa · su-bhūshaṇa, “well adorned”

Subhūshaṇa is one of the nine sons of Ugrasena of the Kukura line, and so a brother of Kaṃsa. The Brahma Purāṇa names him in its account of the line of Vṛshṇi.

Son of Ugrasena

Āhuka, in Kāśyapī, had two sons like the sons of the devas: Devaka and Ugrasena. Ugrasena’s nine sons were Kaṃsa, Nyagrodha, Sunāma, Kaṅka, Subhūshaṇa, Rāshṭrapāla, Sutanu, Anāvṛshṭi and Pushṭimant, and their five younger sisters were Kaṃsā, Kaṃsavatī, Sutanu, Rāshṭrapālī and Kaṅkā. One who hears and holds in mind the line of the Kukuras gains the growth of his own line and lives in happiness.
