Malayadhvaja who was a very valiant archer started for Dvārakā to kill Kṛṣṇa to avenge the death of his father. Friends dissuaded him from his attempt and so he dropped the idea. During the time of Mahābhārata Malayadhvaja was the King of Pāṇḍya. (Chapter 23, Droṇa Parva). - [Previous: c8.1856](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1856) - [Next: c8.1858](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1858) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1857](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1857) · Pramāṇa
