Chitrāngada

Chitrāngada
This article is about the elder son of Shantanu and Satyavati. For the wife of Arjuna, see Chitrāngadā.

Chitrāngada (चित्रांगद), was the elder son of Shantanu and Satyavati. Since his elder half brother Bhishma (son of Shantanu and Ganga) took a vow of not ascending the throne of Hastinapura, he became the king after Shantanu and was very successful. Unfortunately, his success angered a Gandharva king of the same name. They fought an even matched duel for three years, before the human Chitrāngada was slain heirless. His younger brother Vichitravirya then ascended the throne.
