just saw this posting in a community on orkut .. on a discussion abt Abhimanyu's death
"Krishna was teaching Arjuna and Uttara was also seated with him who was pregnant at that time.Both started sleeping and Krishna still found a voice of nod which was from Uttara's womb.
He stopped it there as abhimanyu was not of age to study chakravuh yudh as it is taught after 16 only.(*it is also being said that as krishna killed his uncle (kansa)also and he was afraid of a repitition as he was the uncle of abhimanyu*) this caused incompleted learning which led to abhimanyu's death "
see the line in the paranthesis .. :D

ReplyDeleteArjuna was narrating to Utthara as to how a Chakravuh has to be performed. When he had finished narrating the first part, he realise that she had gone to sleep and left it at that.
Lord Krishna was born under Rohini Nakshatara, so it is of a major concern to the uncle if his nephew is born under ONLY this Nakshtara.
