''Abhimanyu'' ((サンスクリット:अभिमन्यु) ''Abhimanyu'') was the son of Arjuna and Subhadra. He was a tragic hero of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. He was the nephew of Lord Krishna and was married to Uttara, the princess of Matsya Kingdom. Abhimanyu was killed on the 13th day of the Kurukshetra War. Abhimanyu possessed incomparable courage, valour and fighting ability. He was considered to be a warrior equal or perhaps superior to his father (Arjuna) owing to his prodigious feats. During the Mahabharata war, as a sixteen-year-old, Abhimanyu had equated supreme warriors like Bhishma and Karna, and vanquished many other great warriors such as Drona, Salya, Kripa, Aswatthama, Duryodhana, Dussasana, Alamvusha and Kritavarma. Abhimanyu's son, Parikshit, became the sole heir to the Pandava empire and succeeded Yudhishthira to the throne. ==Origin== According to some stories, Abhimanyu was the reincarnation of the son of the moon-god (Somadeva/Chandradeva). When the moon-god was asked to let his son incarnate himself on earth, he made a pact that his son will only remain on earth for 16 years as he could not bear to be separated from him. Abhimanyu was also a scion of the Lunar dynasty and heir to the legends of such men as Bharata, Ajameedha, Kuru, and so on. His mother was Subhadra, a Yadava princess, on whose side too his ancestry could be traced to Yadu, the founder prince of the Yadava line and through him to the same legendary Puroorava, Nahusha and Yayati. And, beyond all this, he was the nephew of Krishna himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「abhimanyu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
