In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Lakshmana Kumara (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मण कुमार, romanized: Lakṣmaṇa Kumāra, lit. 'Prince Lakshmana'), also rendered Lakshmana (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मण, romanized: Lakṣmaṇa) is the son of king Duryodhana and queen Bhanumati and a grandson of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari.[1] He is described to have a twin sister called Lakshmanā, who is kidnapped by Samba, a son of Krishna. He is slain on the thirteenth day of the Kurukshetra War by Abhimanyu, who decapitates him using an arrow.[2]
