About Jaidratha

In The Mahabharat story, Jayadratha was the son of Vridh Nakshatra and king of Sindh. He married Dusshara, the only sister of 100 Kaurab brothers. He had two other wives, one of whom was Gandhar, and another of his was Kamboi. His son was Sulas. A close relative of the Kaurav family, a follower and hero of Lord Shiv, he is an important figure in Mahabharat but is evil.

Etymologically, the word Jayadratha may also be a combination of his two Sanskrit words, jayat meaning victory and ratha meaning chariot. Therefore, Jayadratha means having a chariot of victory.
