Given to Gaṇḍūsha

In the line of Kroshṭu, the Sūta tells of Śūra‘s sons. Gaṇḍūsha, one of the sons of Śūra and a brother of Vasudeva, had no sons, and Vishvaksena gave him his sons in adoption: Cārudeshṇa, Sudeshṇa, Pañcāla and Kṛtalakshaṇa. Of Cārudeshṇa the Sūta says that, once he went to battle, he never turned back, and that he was the youngest of the sons of Rukmiṇī, a great hero.
