Correct! Pāṇḍu's elder brother is Pāṇḍupūrvaja.


The name could also be interpreted as the one whose elder brother is Pāṇḍu.

Bhurishrava, Son of King Somada. He fought against Pandavas. On the 14th day of the war, when Arjun was on his way to kill Jaydrath, he cut the left arm of Bhurishrava to save Satyaki.


Bhurishrava had a younger brother called Shala, hence named Shalagraja.

Correct!


However, Bhūriśravas's father is usually called Somadatta, and since Bhūriśravas uses his left hand at Droṇaparvan 118.17 as he enters prāya, clearly it was his right arm that Arjuna cut off.

I'm not sure I've seen Bala Rāma called Śauri, but it works for him.


Kṛṣṇa and someone else definitely are called Śauri. Who and why?
