Purujit

पुरुजित् · purujit

Prince of the Kunti kingdom; maternal uncle of the Pandavas

He rides to war for his sister's sons.

Purujit belongs to the royal house of the Kuntis, the family that adopted the Pandavas' mother. That makes him, by adoption, Kunti's brother and an uncle to the five brothers. He and Kuntibhoja came to Kurukshetra together. His name means 'conqueror of many'. He was killed by Drona.
