File Kripa and shikhandi.jpg thumb Kripa fights with Shikhandi top right . Shikhandi lang sa , IAST ikha Indonesian, Srikandi is a character in the Hindu epic, the Mah bh rata . He was originally born as a girl child named Shikhandini to Drupada , the king of Panchala Kingdom Panchala . Shikhandi fought in the Kurukshetra war on the side of the Pandavas , along with his father Drupada and brother Dhristadyumna . He had been born in an earlier lifetime as a woman named Amba Mahabharata Amba , who had won in swayamvara by Bhishma for his younger brother and later sent her back to her lover who insulted her and sent her back to Bhishma. Rejected by Bhishma for marriage, due to his oath of lifelong celibacy, and feeling deeply humiliated and wanting revenge, Amba carried out great prayers and penance with the desire to be the cause of Bhishma s death. Amba was then reborn as Shikhandini. King Drupada knew who she was and she was sent on exile as king Drupada feared a conflict with Bhishma. She again did great prayers and gained manhood. In the battle of Kurukshetra , Bhishma recognised him as Amba reborn, and not wanting to fight a woman , lowered his weapons. Knowing that Bhishma would react thus to Shikhandi, Arjuna hid behind Shikhandi and attacked Bhishma with a devastating volley of arrows.

He presented them to Satyavati for marriage to Vichitravirya , the king of Hastinapura .
