Duhsala was the only daughter of King Dhritarashtra and Queen Gandhari in the Indian epic Mahabharata. She was the sister of Duryodhana and other Kaurava brothers.
Duhsala was married to Jayadratha, the king of Sauvira and Sindhu. Arjuna killed Jayadratha in the Kurukshetra war. Suratha was Duhsala's son. After the Kurukshetra war, when Arjuna went to Sindhu to collect testimonial for the horse of the grand Aswamedha sacrifice of Yudhisthira, Duhsala's grandson fought with Arjuna. But Arjuna loved Duhsala as her own sister and due to this relationship Arjuna spared life to Duhsala's grandson and left the country of Sindhus.
