In the Mahabharata, Srutasena was one of the five sons born to Draupadi, one from each Pandava husband. Specifically, Srutasena was the son of Sahadeva, the youngest of the five Pandava brothers. The other sons of Draupadi were Prativindhya (from Yudhishthira), Sutasoma (from Bhima), Srutakarman (from Arjuna), and Shatanika (from Nakula).
