+Prabu Citranggada died at a young age, he fell when the Astina Kingdom was invaded by an army of giants led by a powerful giant king of Gandarwa who coincidentally had the same name, Prabu Citranggada too. Although in the end the giant king died at the hands of Citrasena’s older brother Dewabrata, Prabu Citranggada's soul could not be saved. When Citranggada died, he had not had time to have a son.<p>

+Citrasena, who was still young, replaced his biological brother Prabu Citranggada, to rule the Kuru Kingdom which fell due to a battle. Because he was very young, he also was assisted by his brother named Bisma (Dewabrata). Although Bisma himself is not Wicitrawirya's biological brother.  Prabu Wicitrawirya did not rule the country of Astina for long, he died of illness, without leaving any descendants. With the approval of Resi Bisma, Dewi Durgandini appointed Bagawan Abiyasa as king of the country of Astina with the title Prabu Kresnadwipayana.<p>

A fight ensued, with Citrasena routing the Kaurava army and binding the captured Duryodhana. A helpless Kaurava went to Arjuna and begged his help to free Duryodhana from this terrible foe. Of course Arjuna went to his enemy’s aid and fought a foe that he did not recognize. Finally after much combat, Citrasena took the form that Arjuna recognized.

	After a short time Duryodhana and the Kauravas expressed their gratitude by renewing their evil ways. (It still delights the hearers of all ages that they know the nature of Duryodhana better than Arjuna.) Next Citrasena taught Arjuna dance and music in the court of Indra.<p>

	While there the much-celebrated apsara Urvasi became attracted to Arjuna. However Arjuna declined her advances. The frustrated Urvasi cursed Arjuna to become a eunuch. This curse was a blessing to Arjuna and enabled him to stay incognito as a dance teacher in the palace of King Virata during a year when he needed to go unrecognized. It was through Citrasena that Indra sent a message to Urvasi to remove her curse.
