Kurukshetra War
During the Kurukshetra war, Karna did not take part for the first ten days due to the dispute he had with Bhishma. Only when Bhishma fell on the tenth day, did Karna and his son Vrishasena join the Kauravas to fight against Pandavas on the eleventh day in the Kurukshetra war. Vrishasena with his archery skills displayed immense prowess in the war, being praised by Lord Krishna. As per advice from Lord Krishna, Arjuna attacked Vrishasena fiercely and fired four razor headed arrows, cutting off Vrishasena's bow, his two arms and then his head while his father was engaged elsewhere as a revenge for the part Karna took in Abhimanyu's killing.
