Chitrasena

“King Citrasena rushed against the advancing Srutakarman;” – The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 13
“Srutakarman, then, O king, thus assailed by the foe, became filled with rage, and cut in twain the foe-resisting bow of Citrasena. The latter’s bow having been cut off, Srutakarman then, O king, pierced him with three hundred arrows equipped with goodly wings, covering him completely therewith. With another broad-headed arrow, sharp-edged and keen pointed, he cut off the head, decked with head-gear of his high-souled antagonist. That blazing head of Citrasena fell down on the ground, like the moon loosened from the firmament upon the Earth at will.”
The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 14
