Abhimanyu is Subhadra's Son - Subhadra is the 4th wife of Arjuna

Abhimanyu dies on the 13th day - 1+3 = 4

Abhimanyu used a chariot wheel as his last weapon after which he is killed, 4 days later Karna dies because of a Chariot wheel.

nopes, it was a like 7 circles with 7 great warriors protecting each i think ...

The four Krishnas of Mahabharata represent this complexity of Power. And then there is Karna too.

Let us now apply this Day and Night rotation to Mahabharatan characters.

Arjuna's another name is Krishna; besides, there are two other Krishnas in Mahabharata - Krishnadvaipayana-Vyasa himself and Draupadi-Krshna. Again, Karna is Surya's son, and Draupadi is Agni-born. Again, going by Rg Veda, Indra is opposed to Surya.

To include these -

a) Surya = Agni = Day = Waxing Candra = Arjuna = White = Indra = Karna = Draupadi
b) Candra = Soma = Night = Waning Candra = Black = Krishna = Vyasa = Arjuna = Draupadi = Surya = Vrtra

-----------------------

The one who rotates in Day and Night, his Dharma is bound to diminish; however, one is Objective to the rotation is firmly established in Dharma. Krishna-Arjuna are the rotating Day and Night, however, Krishna-Arjuna on One Chariot is also free from the rotation.

The two armies clashing at Kurukshetra are apparently the Deva-Asuras - and like Power and Anti-Power endless game, there are Devas within Asuras (like Bhishma), and Asuras within Devas (like Ssikhandi - a Rakshasa incarnate).

So, the two armies are Day and Night.

By placing the Chariot between the two armies, Krishna-Arjuna are at the Joint.

Does it need any further explanation why Krishna advises Gita on the Chariot that is placed between the two armies?

We already have the equation -

Prajapati = Year = Yuga

Thus, Krishna-Arjuna on One Chariot represents Yuga - whether beginning of Yuga or end of a Yuga - we cannot determine.

Medha didi, very profound meanings you have given.

Thanks for the link also.

I didn't understand the equations clearly. Can you explain?
