Varchas is one of eight Vasus the son of Chandra, the moon god, and Rohini, a daughter of Daksha and the chief consort of Chandra.[2] Arjuna's and Subhadra's son, Abhimanyu, was his incarnation.[3][1]

Story[edit]

Varchas was the son of Chandra. He was told to be born on the earth as a mortal. His father agreed the proposal only on one condition. The condition was that Varchas would not leave him for more than 16 years.[4] During the Dvapara Yuga, he took an avatar named Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu was the son of Kuru prince, Arjuna, and Yadava princess, Subhadra.[5]
