How 16-Year-Old Abhimanyu Fought 6 Warriors Alone | Day 13

How 16-Year-Old Abhimanyu Fought 6 Warriors Alone | Day 13 — Experience the complete, unfiltered story of Day 13 of the Kurukshetra War from the Mahabharata (Drona Parva: Abhimanyu-badha Parva & Pratijna Parva) on Vedic Bytes 360. When Arjuna and Sri Krishna are lured away to the southern plains by the Samsaptakas, Commander Dronacharya unleashes the deadliest military formation in ancient Indian history: the seven-ringed spinning Padmavyuha (Chakravyuha). Only sixteen-year-old Abhimanyu—who heard the secret of piercing the outer gate while resting inside his mother Subhadra's womb—can break the formation. Promised by Yudhishthira, Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva that all four brothers will ride right behind his chariot wheels, Abhimanyu shatters the first ring—only for King Jayadratha of Sindhu to invoke Lord Shiva's one-day boon and seal the gate behind him. Trapped completely alone inside seven concentric rings of chariots and war-elephants, sixteen-year-old Abhimanyu routs Shalya and Duhshasana, fells Prince Lakshmana and King Brihadbala, and pierces Karna's armor so fiercely that Karna retreats to ask Dronacharya how to survive. Unable to defeat the boy face-to-face in righteous Dharma-yuddha, six Maharathis strike in the blink of an eye: Karna slices Abhimanyu's bowstring from behind, Drona slaughters his horses from the front, and Kripa slays his charioteers. Even after his bronze sword is sliced at the hilt and his eight-moon shield is shattered, Abhimanyu wrenches a massive eight-spoked wooden chariot wheel (Ratha-Chakra) from the wreckage and charges all six warlords like Lord Vishnu wielding the Sudarshana Chakra.
