"Bright, White", in the Mahabharata, the third of the Pandavas. A renowned archer, he was very close to Krishna who acted as his charioteer in the battle. It was Krishna who - with the words that form the substance of the Bhagavadgita - helped him out of the crisis he underwent before the commencement of the battle of Kurukshetra.
