Vrushali, also spelled Vrishali, is a Hindu female first name. The name is mentioned in the ancient Mahabharata epic as the wife of famed warrior Karna.

Very little known is known about Vrushali, except that she was from the charioteer caste and chosen by Karna's adoptive father Adhiratha, also of the same caste. According to the Udyoga Parva Bhagavatayana, in shloka #1011, where Karna declines Lord Krishna's offer to defect from Duryodhana's camp, the warrior states :

Naama vai vasusheneti kaarayaamaasa maadhava I

Bhaaryaashchoda mama praapte yauvane tatparichhaat II

Unfortunately, M.N. Dutt's Mahabharata translation has been incorrectly rephrased as "On attaining my youth too did I marry wives according to his choice." Grammatically speaking however, the word "bhaaryaa" in Sanskrit means "the wife" or "one of the wives".

In addition, in the Stree Parva's Jalapradanikaparva, when Gandhari laments the massacre on the battlefield, she devotes four lengthier shlokas (#10, #11, #12, and #14) to one sole woman whom she identifies as Karna's wife, albeit with no name. Gandhari does state the names of the couple's two sons, Vrishasena and Sushena.

Although the names Supriya and Prabhavati have recently surfaced on the internet as possible co-wives of Karna, they appear nowhere in any reputed translation of the Mahabharata. Interestingly, a far later version of Karna's story appears in Tamil literature, where the wife is named Ponnaruvi. Since Karna was crowned king of the Anga province by his emperor and best friend Duryodhana, and both Anga andHastinapura are in North India, it is unlikely that members of this Sanskrit-speaking area would give their children Dravidian names.

You know I have plans to adopt baby Karna.. So being Mrs Pandu is the best choice.. what say Sappy? 😉 yup di I agree

Aham Sharma is sadly not a character in Mahabharat.. And Karna is kind of too much for me.. And for my complaining nature, had I been his wife either he would have not been a Danveer or he would have killed me.. 😆 . oh really .. god saved Karna then .. literally

And yah.. with so many woman of our kind as wives, Karna will not have any bank balance to be a Danveer..😆 before Indra could come in we would have taken his Kavach Kundala for a good exchange offer at Kalyan Jewellers 😛 ... hmmm yaaa daanveer would have to mortagage his dhanush and vaan at THE STATE BANK OF INDIA and apply for personal loan .. I'm horified to think of his state when he'd go bankrupt ..😲😲
