Yudhamanyu

युधामन्यु · yudhāmanyu

Panchala prince; guard of Arjuna's chariot wheel

His post is one pace from Arjuna's left wheel.

A great chariot-warrior fought with two guards riding beside his wheels to cover his flanks. Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, princes of Panchala, did this for Arjuna through the war. Yudhamanyu survived all eighteen days of battle, and was then killed in his sleep when Ashvatthama raided the Pandava camp at night.
