Excellent write up. This is about the great MAHABHARATA warrior ABHIMANYU who entered the military formation called as CHAKRAVYU or PADMAVYUHA. The Padmavyuha was a spinning death machine on the battlefield. It had the capability to maintain its form while slowly engulfing enemy soldiers into it where they are surely doomed to fall to an endless alley of soldiers stabbing at them from every direction. The Mahabharat was one of the largest wars ever fought, and armies used a scale of measure known as AKSHAUHINI to measure strength. As single AKSHAUHINI consisted of 21,870 CHARIOTS, 21,870 ELEPHANTS; 65,610 CAVALRY and 109,350 INFANTRY. Now, it is said that over the course of the war, 18 AKSHAUHINI SENAS (armies) were involved. Just cant imagine how huge the armies were !!!!!
