During the campaign that preceded the Ashvamedha –yaga, Vrishakethu accompanied Arjuna and participated in the battles with Sudhava and Babruvahana. During that campaign Vrishakethu married the daughter of king Yavanatha (king of the western regions). It is said, Arjuna developed great affection for Vrishakethu, his nephew.
