Shurasena or Shursen/Shursaini (Sanskrit: शूरसेन, IAST: Śūrasena) was a ruler of Mathura or Sursena Mahajanpada. He was married to a nāga community woman named Marisha. She bore all of his children and was the cause for Vasuki's boon to Bhima.[2] He is stated to be the king after whom the Surasena Kingdom was named and founded.
Shurasena was the father of Samudravijaya (himself father of Arishtanemi), Vasudeva (himself father of Vāsudeva-Krishna & Balrama ) and Kunti (mother of Karna and the Pandavas)[3] He is extensively mentioned in both the Mahabharata and the Puranas as the father of Vasudeva (father of Krishna) and Kunti.
