Who is Shurasena?
Shurasena was an ancient Yadava ruler of Mathura after whom the Surasena Kingdom or mahajanpada and the Yadava sept of Surasenas or Shoorsainis were named. According to a tradition, found in the Linga Purana, Shurasena was son of Kartavirya Arjuna. According to another tradition found in the Ramayana and the Vishnu Purana, Shurasena was son of Shatrughna, brother of Rama. According to the Devibhagavata Purana, Shurasena was father of Vasudeva. He is extensively mentioned in both the Mahabharata and the Puranas as the father of Vasudeva and PÅ—tha or Kunti.
Several Indian tribes such as Sainis of Punjab, Bhatis, Jadejas, some Meo clans of Rajput descent, etc. trace their origin to the Yadava tribe of Shoorsainis or Surasenas named after this eponymous Yaduvanshi king.
