Sahastrabahu


Sahasrabahu is a legendary warrior in Indian history. According to legend, he was a contemporary to Ravana. He fought many fights and won all of them except one with Parshuram who killed all the Kshatriya Kings to take revenge of his parents' death.
"'Sahasrabahu"' is also known as 'Kartavirya Arjuna'.

Spelling confusion

Sahasrais the correct prefix that means "a thousand", not SahasTra. However, it is invariably misspelled as the latter. Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "Sahasrara Chakra" or when it occurs in family names without a T. Also see Sahasralinga. The confusion arises because the Hindi letter "Sa" merges with "ra" and looks like "tra".
