Arimejaya has other meanings too: see all meanings of Arimejaya. Sudhanvan has other meanings too: see all meanings of Sudhanvan.

Sudhanus is the second of the four sons of King Kuru, from whom the Kauravas take their name. His brothers were Sudhanvan, Parīkshit and the mighty Arimejaya.

Sūta tells the munis that Dhūminī, the queen of Ajamīḍha, a pativratā, performed tapas for ten thousand years for a son, and bore Ṛksha. From Ṛksha came Saṃvaraṇa, and from him Kuru. Kuru went from Prayāga and made Kurukshetra, pure and lovely, frequented by men of puṇya, and his descendants are the Kauravas. Kuru had four sons: Sudhanvan, Sudhanus, Parīkshit and the mighty Arimejaya. The text names no sons of Sudhanus.
