Story

Varchas was the son of Chandra. He was told to 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]
