Jalasandhaजलसन्ध कौरव

His Place in the Kaurava Household

The family list is recited by Vaishampayana when King Janamejaya asks for Dhritarashtra’s sons in birth order. Jalasandha appears among the many names following Duryodhana. The account also records a daughter, Duhsala, distinguishing the brothers’ large sibling group from the smaller household of Pandu.

The passage describes the sons as accomplished warriors trained in the Vedas, the sacred texts, and in the use of weapons. It praises their skill as a group rather than assigning a distinct feat to every prince named in the list.

Dhritarashtra later chooses suitable wives for the sons and arranges Duhsala’s marriage to Jayadratha, king of Sindhu. Jalasandha is recorded within these shared arrangements of the royal household. This genealogy supplies no separate speech, campaign or death for him.
