Lord Krishna's Horses


Most of you would have seen the picture of lord Krishna as Arjuna’s charioteer. Here are the names of the 5 horses which pulled lord Krishna’s chariot.

  • Kamagha
  • Shybhya
  • Sugreeva
  • Meghapushpa
  • Valahaka
It is often interpreted by scholars that the 5 horses represent the five senses. It is said that the concept is symbolic to denote that Arjuna was able to succeed only because he surrendered his sense to Lord Krishna.
