Additional Details

@ Amit k ; Sir what do you mean by ''half brother of kouravaas''? can you please explain?

@ Amrit k;

Thank you for the additional details.I am very much interested in Mahabharatam of veda Vyaas.

can you please give the Sloka (verse) numbers with Parva name, ( sanskrit bharatam of Vyasa).I shall be thankful to you.

@ Sri vidyarajagopalan ji, Pranaams .Sir I was about to add whatexactly you gave as a reply , in details here as no further answers are coming.
The Ramayanam of Valmiki and Vyaasa MahaBhaaratam are most revered Epics and they have been translated to almost all languages in the world.
But here in YA we are seeing questions , by members who by mistake put some irrelevant questions, or trolls insulting these Epics.I feel that Every Hindu MUST KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS THERE IN VALMIKI RAMAYANA AND VYAASA MAHABHARATAM.
You take so much strain to answer the questions.
Bur Sir, the nasty comments by Trolls and clones , personally attacking Hindus and passing nasty comments in vulgar languages are spoiling the VERY GLORY OF YA R & S INDIA.
I think some thing will have to be done for this.

I thank you for the Great answer.I thank all the answerers .

Answer 2

Vikarna was the half brother of Kauravas, the only son of dhritrashtra to survive the war because he switched sides prior to beginning of battle to be on side of dharma.

According to tradition, Gandhari gives a part of the divine portion to her favourite maid and Vikarna is born to that maid. He had also opposed the ********* of draupadi in court.

he was also known as Yuyutsu.

Son of karna was Vrishasena.

@asker: he was the son of dhritarashtra, born of a vaishya maid who was given a part of divine portion by gandhari. So, in other words, he was the half brother of kauravas.
