Sudhanwa, a great warrior

                               Sudhanwa, a great warrior

Sudhanwa was the son of King Hamsadhwaja. He was very young. But he had his education of battle ground techniques.
Pandavas were doing Ashwamedha yaga after they got the reins of kingdom. During that yaga, Pandavas must defeat the kings who challenge them.
Likewise, Hamsadhwaja challenged the Pandavas. Pandavas, specially Arjuna had come to fight with the king.
Fight started. Being the devotee of Shri Krishna , Sudhanwa wanted to take part in battle. He fought to such an extent that it had become impossible to defeat him.
Now , Arjuna prayed Shri Krishna for his guidance. Sri Krishna advised Arjuna to behead Sudhanwa . Arjuna did like that.
But beheaded body of Sudhanwa , continued to fight. Now , Pandavas are in the verge to lose the battle. That time, God Shiv has taken the head of Sudhnwa and added him as his army man. Then only , Sudhanwa rested in peace.
