Dhrishtadyumna, Son Of Drupada

Dhrishtadyumna is the son of Raja Drupada and brother of Draupadi. There is a legend regarding the birth of Dhrishtadyumna and his sister Draupadi. 

It is said that after being defeated and disgraced from his kingdom, king Drupada was waiting to take revenge. So, he appointed a supernatural agency to procure the birth of a son, who should one day avenge his defeat and complete the death of Drona.

After some difficulty he prevailed on two learned Brahmans named Yaja and Upayaja. These two Brahmans performed a sacrifice for this purpose and at the proper period summoned the Queen of Drupada to assist at the rite. But, she was engaged at her toilet and delayed to reach. The ceremony was completed without her and two children, one male, one female, arose from the sacrificial fire. The former was Dhrishtadyumna, who appeared with a crown on his head and bearing a bow and arrow in his hand. The latter was Krishna, so named due to her black complexion although she was very beautiful.

Dhrishtadyumna's sons were killed by Drona,so Dhrishtadyumna killed Drona in the Kurukshetra war.To avenge his father's death Aswatthama entered Pandava camp in the night & killed Dhrishtadyumna & the pandava princes.
