Abhimanyu: The best of Warriors

Abhimanyu: The best of Warriors
Mahabharata Drona Parv Ch 33-50


On 11th and 12th Day of war Drona have been trying to capture Yuddhisthir but Couldn't do it because of Arjun.

So on 13th Day, Drona pledged to kill anyone Maharathi from Pandavas army and he created Chakra Vyuha to fulfill that pledge.


Arjun was distracted and taken away by Sanshaptakas.

When Pandavas came to know about Chakra Vyuha, Abhimanyu told that he knows how to enter the Vyuha but doesn't know the outlet. Yuddhisthir told him that he along with other warriors will follow him into the Vyuha.


Abhimanyu started at the Gate and defeated Drona along with his army.

Some of major accomplishments on the day were:
1. Killed son of Ashmak and brother of Shalya.
2. Made Shalya unconscious.
3. Defeated Dushashan and Karna.
(Karna was defeated even by Abhimanyu leave Arjun aside.)
4. Killed brother of Karna.
5. Killed Satyashrava, Rukmarath and other Prince warriors.
6. Defeated Duryodhana.
7. Killed Laxman and Son of Krath.
8. Killed Brihadwal(King of Koshal)  and other kings.
9. Defeated 6 Maharathi warriors at once.
10. Killed Ashwaketu and Bhoj and defeated Karna again.

Abhimanyu was killed by 6 Maharathi warriors after all this destruction.
They were: Dronacharya and Kripacharya, Karna, Kritvarma and Ashwasthama.

They all broke his Bow. When he defended himself with Sword and shield, Drona broke his sword. He then started killing Kauravas with a Chakra. They destroyed his Chakra too. He then wielded a Gada and killed the horses of Ashwasthama.
Then son of Dushashan killed him with his Gada.

Thus, Abhimanyu marked his name in History with Golden letters on 13th day of Mahabharata war.
