Story Of Abhimanyu The Tragic Hero Of Mahabharat

Abhimanyu is a brave, legendary and a tragic hero in the Hindu epic of Mahabharata. He was born to the third Pandava prince Arjuna and Yadava princess Subhadra, who was also Krishna's sister. As an unborn child in his mother's womb, Abhimanyu learnt the knowledge of entering the deadly and virtually impenetrable Chakravyuha from Arjuna.The epic explains that he overheard Arjuna talking about this with his mother from the womb. Arjuna spoke about entering Chakravyuha and later Subhadra dozed to sleep. Upon seeing Subhadra asleep Arjuna stopped explaining and and did not proceed with explaining the way to escape the Chakravyuha. As an effect, the baby Abhimanyu in womb did not get a chance to get the complete knowledge about the Chakravyuha.

Abhimanyu was trained in arms and warfare by Pradyumna, Balarama and Krishna. Abhimanyu was given the Raudra bow by Balarama which he received from Lord Shiva. Being the grandson of Lord Indra, Abhimanyu was a courageous and dashing warrior. In the battle, Abhimanyu was able to hold at bay, great heroes like Drona, Karna, Duryodhana and Dushasana in the Mahabharata war. Abhimanyu also killed important personalities such as Kumara Lakshmana, the son of Duryodhana and Brihadbala, the king of Kosala belonging to Ikshwaku dynasty, six counselors and seven foster brothers of Karna, sons of Shalya, etc.
