Scene: The Pandava camp, on the eve of the battle.
[Abhimanyu enters the tent where the Pandavas, Kunti, and Uttara are
gathered.]
Abhimanyu: (with determination) Respected elders, dear mother, and beloved
Uttara, I seek your permission to enter the Chakravyuh formation tomorrow.
Yudhishthira: (concerned) Abhimanyu, you are brave and skilled, but the
Chakravyuh is a deadly formation. Are you sure you want to take this risk?
Bhima: (supportive) You have the heart of a lion, nephew. But remember, the
Chakravyuh is not just about entering; it's about breaking through and coming out
alive.
Arjuna: (proud yet worried) My son, I have taught you how to enter the
Chakravyuh, but the knowledge to exit it remains incomplete. Are you prepared for
this challenge?
Nakula: (cautious) Abhimanyu, think carefully. Your life is precious to us all.
Sahadeva: (thoughtful) The enemy will not show mercy. You must be certain of
your decision.
Kunti: (with tears) My dear grandson, your courage is unmatched, but a mother's
heart trembles at the thought of losing you. Please reconsider.
Uttara: (holding Abhimanyu's hand) My love, our future together is just beginning. I
cannot bear the thought of losing you. Please, stay with us.
Abhimanyu: (resolute) I understand your concerns, but I am a warrior of the Kuru
dynasty. It is my duty to fight for dharma. I cannot stand by while my uncles face
danger. I must do my part.
Yudhishthira: (sighs) Your resolve is admirable, Abhimanyu. If this is your decision,
we will support you. May the gods protect you.
Kunti: (embracing Abhimanyu) Go with my blessings, my child. May you return
victorious.
Uttara: (tearfully) I will pray for your safe return. Be strong, my love.
Abhimanyu: (with a determined smile) Thank you, everyone. I will not let you
down.
[Abhimanyu exits the tent, ready to face his destiny.]
