During the war of Kurukṣetra (Kurukshetra), a Rākṣasa (Rakshasha; a monster) named Alamvuṣa (Alamvusha)fought on the side of Duryodhana. This Alamvuṣa is referred to as Ārṣaśṛṅgi (Arshasringi; that is, the son of Rishyasringa), more than once. It can be assumed that some Rākṣasa warrior called Ṛṣyaśṛṅga (Rishyasringa) was the father of Alamvuṣa.
