अभिमन्युः [abhimanyuḥ], 1
N.
 of a son of Arjuna by his wife Subhadrā, sister of Kṛiṣṇa and Balarāma
also known by the metronymic Saubhadra. [He was calledAbhimanyu because at his very birth he appeared to be heroic, long-armed and very fiery (अभिवृद्धः मन्युर्यस्य). When the Kauravas at the advice of Droṇa formed the peculiar battle-array called 'Chakravyuha' hoping that, as Arjuna was away, none of the Paṇḍavas would be able to break through it, Abhimanyu assured his uncles that he was ready to try, if they only assisted him. He accordingly entered the Vyūha, killed many warriors on the Kaurava side, and was for a time more than a match even for such veteran and elderly heroes as Droṇa, Karṇa, Duryodhana
&c.
 He could not, however, hold out long against fearful odds, and was at last overpowered and slain. He was very handsome. He had two wives, Vatsalā daughter of Balarāma and Uttarā daughter of the king of Virāṭa. Uttarā was pregnant when he was slain and gave birth to a son named Parīkṣita who succeeded to the throne of Hastināpura. ]

"अर्जुन के पुत्र का नाम। इसकी माता सुभद्रा थी जो श्रीकृष्ण तथा बलराम की बहन थी। जब द्रोण की सलाह के अनुसार कौरवों ने ‘चक्रव्यूह’ नाम की विशिष्ट सैन्यस्थिति बनाई, और वह भी इस आशा से कि आज अर्जुन दूर है, उसके अतिरिक्त और कोई पांडव इस व्यूह को तोड़ नहीं सकेगा, तो अभिमन्यु अपने चाचा ताउओं को विश्वास दिलाया कि यदि आप लोग मेरी सहायता करें तो मै अवश्य ही इस व्यूह को तोड़ डालूँगा। तदनुसार वह व्यूह में प्रविष्ट हुआ, कौरवपक्ष के अनेक योद्धाओं को उसने मौत के घाट उतारा। एक बार तो उसने ऐसा घोर पराक्रम दिखाया कि द्रोण , कर्ण दुर्योधन आदि बड़े-बड़े महारथी भी उसका मुकाबला न कर सके। परन्तु वह बहुत देर तक इस भीषण युद्ध का सामना न कर सका, अन्त में परास्त हुआ और मारा गया। वह बहुत सुन्दर था। उसकी दो पत्नियाँ थी-बलराम की पुत्री वत्सला, तथा राजा विराट की पुत्री उतरा। जिस समय वह मारा गया उस समय उतरा गर्भवती थी। उससे परीक्षित का जन्म हुआ। परीक्षित ही बाद में हस्तिनापुर की राजगद्दी पर बैठा।"
