Vārdhakṣemi, Pāṇḍava Ratha at Kurukṣetra

Vārdhakṣemi was a warrior on the Pāṇḍava side at Kurukṣetra. Bhīṣma names him as a ratha (chariot warrior) of the Pāṇḍava army in the Rathātiratha-Saṃkhyāna, his count of the warriors on both sides.

In Bhīṣma’s count

Vārdhakṣemi is listed among the rathas of the Pāṇḍava host in Bhīṣma’s Rathātiratha list. He was one of the many allied warriors who gathered at Kurukṣetra under the Pāṇḍava banner. The Mahābhārata records no more about him.
