Dhrishtadyumna

Dhrishtadyumna / धृष्टद्युम्न

Dhrishtadyumna was the son of king Drupad of Panchal.
Dhrishtdyumna and his sister Draupadi were born from the fire of a sacrifice, performed by Drupad to obtain a son who would kill Dron.
Dhrishtdyumna learnt the use of weapons from Dron himself.
He was also in charge of Draupadi's Svayamvar and was glad to know that it was Arjun who had married his sister.
When the Pandavs were in exile, he had taken the sons of Draupadi with him to Panchal.
During the Mahabharat war, he was the commander in-chief of the Pandav forces.
When Dron heard the false report about the death of Ashvatthama, he put down in weapons and sat down to meditate.
At this moment, Dhrishtdyumna cut of Drop's head with his sword.
Ashvatthama, on hearing this, swore to avenge his father's death.
After the war was over, Ashvatthama, with two others, crept into the Pandav camp while all were asleep and killed Dhrishtdyumna.
Dhrishtdyumna had four sons, viz. Dhrishtketu, Kshatradharma, Kshatranjay and Manad.
