Characters of Mahabharata:(B contd)

Balarama
Balarama, son of Vasudeva and brother of Krishna, is the guru who taught the nuances of mace to both Duryodhana and Bhima. That being the reason, he denies to take any side in the Kurukshetra war and stays out of the battle field. It is noteworthy that Duryodhan's end came in a mace fight with Bhima.
Brihatbala
Brihatbala fights against the Pandavas and is one among those who trapped Abhimanyu in the Padmavyuham.
Babruvahana
Babruvahana is the son of Arjuna and Chitrangada, the princess of Manipur whom Arjuna married during his period of exile. He is not mentioned to be part of the Kurukshetra war. Post the war, when Yudhistra decides to perform the Ashwamedha yaga, the sacrificial horse enters Babruvahana's kingdom and a fight ensues between Babruvahana and Arjuna. Babruvahana kills Arjuna as a result of a curse by vasus against Arjuna for having killed Bhishma. Arjuna's naga wife Ulupi then brings back Arjuna to life.
