Śrutasena

Fifth and youngest of the five Upapāṇḍavas. Quartigod-tier son of Sahadeva (Nāsatya-paternal demigod, younger Aśvinī twin Dasra) by Draupadī. Killed in the Sauptika-massacre. The collective slaughter of the five Upapāṇḍavas terminates the Pāṇḍava-Draupadī line; only Abhimanyu's posthumously-revived son Parīkṣit (through Subhadrā) continues the Kuru dynasty into the kali-yuga.
