Susharma (Sanskrit: सुशर्मा, romanized: Suśarmā) is the king of Trigarta in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.[1]He was the brave Archer and a Competitor of Arjuna who vowed to either die or kill Arjuna as a part of a larger plan by Duryodhana to capture Yudhishthira alive in Kurukshetra war. For this, he used the Samsaptak Shakti against Arjuna Nagastra in 8th day on the battle of Kurukshetra and also formed a suicide squad on 11th night of the war. On the 13th day of the battle, he kept Arjuna distracted from the Chakravyuh, even though he knew that he could not defeat Arjuna. He was assigned this task because the Kaurava commander Dronacharya had created the Chakravyuh to capture Yudhishthira and no one in the Pandava army knew how to break the Chakravyuh except Arjuna. Fearless Susharma was killed along with his brothers by Arjuna in the battle of the same day.
