The Kauravas had made a fateful error. Lusting after their cousin's kingdom, they underestimated young Abhimanyu's determination and ability to defend it. Brilliantly distilled in this handsome and much-loved Pandava prince were his father Arjuna's courage, Lord Krishna's wisdom and the patience and the strength and gentle humility of his uncles. Even as he thwarted his enemies' ambitions' Abhimanyu earned their grudging admiration and a very special place in the saga of the Mahabharata.
