Bhurishrava

भूरिश्रवा · bhūriśravā

Son of Somadatta; prince of the Bahlika branch of the Kuru family

He was about to win his duel when an arrow from outside it took off his arm.

Bhurishrava's grandfather Bahlika was the brother of King Shantanu, so he is a distant uncle of both sides. His family had an old feud with Satyaki's. On the fourteenth day he beat Satyaki down and raised his sword. Arjuna, watching from a distance, shot off his sword arm. Bhurishrava rebuked him, sat down to die in meditation, and Satyaki beheaded him. Both armies condemned the act.
