Reading Notes: Abhimanyu
(Uttara and Abhimanyu: Wikimedia Commons)
- Abhimanya is the son of Arjuna.
- The Pandava's cousins exile them, but Abhimanya and his mother stay in the royal, and Abhimanya vows to avenge the wrongdoings done to his father and the other Pandavas.
- The Pandavas meet King Virata, and he offers his daughters.
- Arjuna suggests that Virata's daughter, Uttara, marries Abimanya, and so, they marry.
- Krishna tries to make peace between the Pandavas and the Kauravas when the Pandava's exile ended, but the Kauravas want war.
- The Kauravas attack in a specific formation that only Abhimanya knows how to partially defeat.
- He knows how to break it but not to exit it.
- Abhimanya breaks the formation but gets cut off and is left to defend himself.
