Offbeat: The death of this warrior of Mahabharata was decided before his birth, know who he is
We are going to tell you about a person from mythological times whose death was decided at the time of his birth. We are talking about Abhimanyu whose father had decided the age of his death even before his birth.
Actually, Abhimanyu was Varcha, son of Chandradev in his previous birth. When Lord Krishna incarnated on earth, all the gods and goddesses decided to come to earth in some form or the other.
But Chandra Deva remained aloof and did not allow his son Varcha to come to earth. When all the gods requested Chandra Deva a lot, he agreed to this.
But he put a condition that he can send him to earth only for 16 years. This is the reason that Abhimanyu's age was only 16 years and his death was decided by his father even before his birth.
