  • Purochana (Sanskrit: पुरोचन) is a character in Hindu mythology, an architect in the kingdom of Hastinapura, and one of Duryodhana's trusted aides in the Indian epic Mahabharata. He was also a minister under the Kauravas. He is better known as the individual who created the Lakshagraha (palace of lac) under the orders of Duryodhana and his evil mentor, Shakuni. Purochana himself perished in the fire meant to kill the Pandavas. In his previous life, he had been born as Prahasta, who was a powerful rakshasa warrior, and chief commander of Ravana's army of Lanka. In both his births, he has been the minister of antagonistic monarchs. (en)
  • Purocana (Dewanagari: पुरोचन; IAST: Purocana पुरोचन) adalah seorang arsitek dan orang kepercayaan Duryodana dalam wiracarita Mahabharata. Diceritakan bahwa ia merupakan salah satu menteri dalam pemerintahan Dretarastra. Tokoh ini diceritakan dalam kisah usaha percobaan pembunuhan terhadap para Pandawa, tokoh utama Mahabharata. Nama Purocana disebutkan dalam Adiparwa, jilid pertama Mahabharata. Diceritakan bahwa ia direkrut oleh Duryodana untuk membuat sebuah istana yang mudah terbakar, atau laksagreha. Istana tersebut direncanakan untuk dibakar setelah para Pandawa berhasil dibujuk untuk menginap di dalamnya. Gagasan ini dicetuskan pertama kali oleh paman Duryodana, Sangkuni, yang iri dengan para Pandawa. Duryodana dan Sangkuni pun meminta bantuan Purocana sebagai penyulut api untuk membakar laksagreha.
