According to
Mahalaksmi Vrat Katha, Emperor Agrasen was a
Kshatriya and a
Suryavanshi (lineage from the Sun) born during the last stages of
Dwapar Yuga. The young Prince Agrasen was an icon of non-violence, messenger of peace and well known for his compassion. He never discriminated against anyone and the subjects were very pleased with the way he conducted himself.
