Episode description
Bhurishrava was son of Somdatta and grandson of Bahlika. He played a key role in the killing of Abhimanyu.
When Arjuna taunted him for his participation in the dishonorable act of killing Abhimanyu against the rules of engagement, he felt ashamed. He threw away his weapons and sat down on the battlefield.
At this point Satyaki leapt forward and beheaded a weaponless Bhurishrava with his sword.
When Kritavarma taunted Satyaki recalling this incident, this became the cause of infighting among Yadav warriors and caused the destruction of the entire Yadav clan as cursed by Gandhari.
