ALAMBUṢA I . Son of the giant Ṛṣyaśṛṅga. He had

fought on the side of the Kauravas. (M.B., Udyoga Parva,

Chapter 167, Stanza 33). There was a combat between

Alambuṣa and Ghaṭotkaca, on the first day of the battle

of Kurukṣetra.

“Alambuṣa shot ninety sharpened pointed arrows at the

son of Bhīmasena (Ghaṭotkaca), cut his body in several

places. Though he was full of wounds, he fought all the

more fiercely”. (Bhāṣā Bhārata, Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter

45, Stanzas 43, 44).

Alambuṣa had engaged Abhimanyu, Sātyaki, Ghaṭot-

kaca, Kuntibhoja and Bhīmasena all mighty men of

arms, in single combat, in the Kaurava battle. It is seen

that he has got another name, Sālakaṭaṃka. He was

killed by Ghaṭotkaca in the battle. (M.B. Droṇa

Parva, Chapter 109, Stanzas 22 to 33).

ALAMBUṢA II . Another king on the side of the Kaura-

vas. Sātyaki killed this king. (Mahābhārata, Droṇa

Parva, Chapter 140, Stanza 13).

ALAMBUṢA III . A king of the Rākṣasas. It is seen that

this Alambuṣa was defeated and driven away from the

battle-field by Arjuna. (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 167,

Stanzas 37 to 47).

ALAMBUṢA IV . A giant, the son of Jaṭāsura. Ghaṭot-

kaca killed this giant in the battle.
