ANUVINDA I . One of the 100 sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra. There is a story in the Mahābhārata about his being imprisoned along with Duryodhana. Knowing that the Pāṇḍavas were living in the forest in all comfort and happiness Duryodhana and others went in procession to them. Anuvinda also was in the procession. While Duryodhana and party were staying in a tent in the forest, a Gandharva named Citrasena appeared on the scene and imprisoned them. Anuvinda too was im- prisoned. (See Citrasena). (M.B., Vana Parva, Chapter 242, Verse 8). He was killed in war by Bhīmasena. (M.B., Droṇa Parva, Chapter 127, Verse 66).
ANUVINDA II . The purāṇas refer to one Anuvinda, a prince of Avanti. (1) He had a brother called Vinda. (2) He was defeated by Sahadeva who set forth to sub- jugate the kings of the south just before the Rājasūya yajña of Dharmaputra. (M.B., Sabhā Parva, Chapter 31, Verse 10). (3) An Akṣauhiṇī (division of army) was despatched by Anuvinda to help Duryodhana. (M.B., Udyoga Parva, Chapter 19, Verses 24, 25). (4) On the first day of the war Vinda and Anuvinda fought duels with Kuntibhoja. (M.B., Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter 45, Verses 72-75). (5) Irāvān, son of Arjuna defeated both Vinda and Anuvinda in the battle. (M.B., Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter 83, Verse, 18-22). (6) They fought with Bhīma, Arjuna and the king of Virāṭa. (M.B., Droṇa Parva, Chapter 25, Verses 20). (7) Anuvinda was killed by Arjuna. (M.B., Droṇa parva, Chapter 399, Verses 27-29). (8) Vinda and Anuvinda had a sister called Mitravindā. The three of them were the children of Rājādhidevī, sister of Śrī Kṛṣṇa's father. Śrī Kṛṣṇa married Mitravindā, which her brother did not like. This was their reason for quitting the Pāṇḍava camp and fighting on the side of the Kauravas. (Bhāgavata, Daśama Skandha, Chapter 58, Verses 30, 31).
ANUVINDA III . The Mahābhārata refers to another prince Anuvinda also. He was the son of a Kekaya- rāja. He also fought against the Pāṇḍavas and was killed by Sātyaki. (M.B., Karṇa Parva, Chapter 13, Verse 21).
