Puranic Encyclopaedia

CANDRASENA I   A king of Siṁhala deśa (Ceylon). Candrasena had two daughters, Mandodarī and Indumatī by his wife Guṇavatī. Kambugrīva, son of Sudhanvā, the chief of Mādra desired to marry Mandodarī. But, since she preferred unmarried life Kambugrīva's desire did not fructify. Some time later she refused to marry another suitor also, King Vīrasena of Kosala. Meanwhile the marriage of her younger sister, Indumatī was celebrated, herself having selected Sudeṣṇa, the Mādra prince at the Svayaṁvara as husband. Though a handsome person Sudeṣṇa was a philanderer, and one day Indumatī saw him in bed with her maid-servant. From that day onwards, cutting asunder all marital relationship with Sudeṣṇa, Indumatī went and stayed with her father. This story told by Mahiṣāsura to show that women possess only very little discretion occurs in the [Pañcama Skandha of Devībhāgavata] .
CANDRASENA II   A king of Ujjayanī and a great devotee of Śiva. As he performed great sacrifices and gave away money and materials in gift to those who prayed for them, an attendant of Śiva called Maṇibhadra once gave him a gem, which possessed supernatural powers. Attracted by the lustre and glare of the gem many kings wanted to purchase it. But Candrasena refused to sell it. Much incensed at the refusal, the enemy kings set out to fight Candrasena, who then took refuge in the Mahākāla temple in Ujjayanī the idol installed in which was Śivaliṅga. Lord Śiva then appeared to him and granted him salvation. [Śiva Purāṇa, Śanipradoṣamāhātmyam] .
CANDRASENA III   The Mahābhārata refers to another Candrasena, son of Samudrasena, King of Bengal. He was present at the svayaṁvara of Pāñcālī. [M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 185, Verse 11] . Bhīmasena once defeated Candrasena and his father in fight. [Sabhā Parva, Chapter 30, Verse 24] . After that Candrasena became a supporter of the Pāṇḍavas. It is stated in Droṇa Parva that in the great war Candrasena fought from a chariot drawn by horses as white as Candra (moon) and got killed by Aśvatthāmā.
CANDRASENA IV   Another Candrasena, a partisan of the Kauravas, is referred to in the Bhārata as having fought against the Pāṇḍavas. His duty was to guard the chariot wheels of Śalya; he was killed by Yudhiṣṭhira. [Śalya Parva, Chapter 12, Verse 52] .
