Ugrasena

उग्रसेन

Also known as आहुकः

Ugrasena, the Yadava king of Mathura, was the father of Kamsa. His son deposed and imprisoned him; after Kamsa was slain, Krishna did not take the throne Himself but restored it to Ugrasena — a celebrated instance of His freedom from self-interest. At Dvaraka too he presided over the Yadava assembly. At SB 1.11.17 he comes forward with Vasudeva and Akrura to welcome Krishna.
