Karna's name is VasuSHena, not VasuSena -- Sha & Na as in Vishnu.
Names of Karna's wives are not mentioned in Vyasa Bharata. Vrishali & Supriya are creations of Shivaji Sawant, the author of Karna based novel, Mrityunjaya. However, in Bengali Mahabharata his wife is Padmavati; in Tamil folklore she is Urvee/Ponnuruvi; and Shruti kaanti / Surti kanti in Indonesian Mahabharata.
Karna had no sons by name Sudama and Shatrunjaya, AFAIK. Again they are only imaginations of Mr Sawant. To name, Karna's sons were Vrishasena, Dvipata, Sushena, Prasena, Satyasena, Chitrasena, Susharma (Banasena) and Vrishaketu.

@jamy Karna had 9 sons right? you mentioned only eight also Vrishketu is not in vaishampayan version he is only in Jaimeniya Aswamedha version. but Sudaman is creation of Sawant but Shatrunjaya is there right? I meant 3 sons of Karna were killed by Arjun - Vrishasena, Dvipita and Shatrunjaya , three by Nakul - Chitrasena,Sursena, Sushena , one by Bheem- Bansena and one by satyaki - Prasena.
Vrishketu adopted by Arjun is from Jaimeni MB right? or m I missing something?

Thanks for the info... 😊
But no where in mahabharat is said that karna had two wives.infact in Mahabharata there were no mention about his personal life also...according to kmg version of mahabharat he had only one wife...gandhari mentioned her in the stri parv...no particular name was mentioned there...but as she was the wife of vrisha(other name of karna by vayas dev and lord Krishna due to his generous and Nobel nature)..so she was named as vrushali...in many other folk version some other names were mentioned..but most probably all the Names belongs to the same woman...supriya is nowhere mentioned in Mahabharata...she was later edition by writers..so as urvaree ...as per most of the researchers karna was monogamist...he had only one wife who was a suta kanya...she was sister of duryadhan's charioter...karna married her as per the wish of his foster father adhirath...karna and vrushali had a very content love and married life...vrushali was totally awed by karna and he was everything for her...even he was more than a god for her...she never questioned about any decision of karna..she liked to involve herself in her household matter...as per duryadhan she was as high souled as karna and a true soul mate of him...after death of karna vrishali also went to the his pryur.. ...they had 9 sons out of which 8 were killed in kuruskhetra...but as per jamini mahabharat karna got a boon from lord Krishna that he will save his linage...and for his promise lord Krishna save his one son named as vrishaketu who did not participate in kurukshetra war due to his very young age..later he became very close to both arjuna and lord Krishna.
