It is after his name that the field called Kurujangala has become so famous in the world. Devoted to asceticism, he made that field ( Kurukshetra ) sacred by practising asceticism there. Kuru’s wife, Vahini, brought forth five sons, viz., Avikshit, Bhavishyanta, Chaitraratha, Muni and the celebrated Janamejaya (Janamejaya the 2nd).
