Aśvasena  : m.: A mythical serpent.


A. Family and Residence: Takṣaka's son and his constant companion (nityaṁ sahacarāv ubhau) 1. 3. 145; 1. 218. 5; 8. 65. 39; Uttaṅka mentions him, (while praising the nāgas), as one living at Kurukṣetra along the river Ikṣumatī 1. 3. 145.


B. Khāṇḍava fire: He was at the Khāṇḍava forest at the time of the great fire, but escaped death 1. 219. 40; his mother swallowed him, head first, so that when Arjuna cut off her head while she was flying upwards Aśvasena did not die 1. 218. 5, 1. 220. 2; Aśvasena could escape because Indra confounded Arjuna with Vātavarṣa (an astra ?) 1. 218. 9.


C. Part in the great war: Karṇa had a fiery arrow described as bhujaga (8. 66. 10), sarpamukha (8. 66. 5), poisonous (8. 66. 6, 16); reserved by him for use against Arjuna 8. 66. 5; when the arrow was shot it could remove only Arjuna's diadem (kirīṭa) 8. 66. 11, 12, 15, 17; on this arrow apparently lay the big snake (mahoraga) Aśvasena, inimical to Arjuna due to the killing of his mother by Arjuna 8. 66. 20, 21; Arjuna killed him when Kṛṣṇa explained to him who the serpent really was 8. 66. 21, 24; Aśvasena not directly named in this incident, but Duryodhana names him as figuring in this incident when he mentions Aśvasena (as an arrow shot at Arjuna) who was deflected (vyaṁsanenāśvasenasya) by Kṛṣṇa 9. 60. 35.
