The highly energetic Vrisasena of steady prowess and ready in managing the weapon-that peer of Karna in battle, was sent to the abode of Yama by Dhananjaya, who, remembering the death of his son and also his own solemn vow, showed forth his prowess in battle.
समः कर्णस्य समरे यः स कर्णस्य पश्यतः। वृषसेनो महातेजाः शीघ्रास्त्रो दृढविक्रमः॥ अभिमन्योर्वधं श्रुत्वा प्रतिज्ञामपि चात्मनः। धनंजयेन विक्रम्य गमितो यमसादनम्॥
