Dhananjaya (dhanañjaya)
धनञ्जय
What Dhananjaya Means in the Mahabharata
Dhananjaya means winner of wealth, a name Arjuna earned by the campaign of conquest that brought tribute from every direction for Yudhishthira's Rajasuya. It is one of the ten names he recites to Uttara at Virata's court when the boy asks who is really driving his chariot, each name recording a different feat or trait. The list is one of the epic's great set pieces, a warrior identifying himself by his own history after a year of hiding it.
