बलाक्ष / BALĀKṢA. An ancient king of bhārata. While the pāṇḍavas were living incognito in the kingdom of virāṭa, duryodhana and his brothers stole the cows of virāṭa, in consequence of which there was a battle. The devas (gods) came in planes to see the fight between arjuna and the teacher kṛpa. It is mentioned in the Mahā- bhārata, virāṭa Parva, Chapter 56, that the King balākṣa was there with the gods when they came to see the fight.
