if you hav any source to read about him,please share with me too
I usually read that he survived the war, makes it sound like he took part in it too but that is just me guessing.
He was one of the 7 sons(?) of the first wife.
He went against Bavru during the Ashwamedha war and died, and was revived by Krishna with the naagmani.Though i could be wrong.
And he was married to king Yavnatha's daughter during the Ashwamedha Camp.. Arjuna ( and Krishna)developed great affection for him and trained him to become a great Archer. He was the last mortal on the earth who knew how to use Brahmastra, Varunastra, agniastra and vayuastra.
"Vrishaketu, son of Karna, fought on the side of Kauravas, but became very close to the Pandavas after the war. Later during the time of Pandava's Aswamedha Yaga, he fought alongside Arjuna against Babhruvahana."
