All in One

Sanjaya to Dhritarashtra
  1. In righteousness, 
  2. in deeds, 
  3. in lineage, 
  4. in intelligence, 
  5. in achievements, 
  6. in fame, 
  7. in prosperity, there never was, and there never will be, another man so endued as Yudhishthira. Devoted to truth and righteousness, and with passions under control, king Yudhishthira, in consequence of his worship of the Brahmans and, diverse other virtues of similar nature, is always in the enjoyment of Heaven. 
The
  1. Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga, 
  2. Jamadagni's valiant son (Rama), and 
  3. Bhimasena on his car,--these three, O king, are spoken of as equal. 
Of Partha, the wielder of Gandiva,
  1. who always achieveth his vows in battle, 
  2. I do not see a proper parallel on earth. 
  1. Reverence for superiors, 
  2. keeping counsels, 
  3. humility,
  4. self-restraint, 
  5. beauty of person, and 
  6. bravery--these six--are ever present in Nakula. 
In
  1. knowledge of scriptures, 
  2. gravity, 
  3. sweetness of temper, 
  4. righteousness and 
  5. prowess, the heroic Sahadeva is equal to the Aswins themselves. 
All those noble qualities that are in Krishna, all those that are in the Pandavas, all that assemblage of qualities was to be found in Abhimanyu alone.
  1. In firmness, he was equal to Yudhishthira, and 
  2. in conduct to Krishna; 
  3. in feats, he was the equal to Bhimasena of terrible deeds, 
  4. in beauty of person, in prowess, and in knowledge of scriptures he was the equal to Dhananjaya. 
  5. In humility, he was equal to Sahadeva and Nakula.'

Greatness

Who - among mighty men like Bheeshma, Drona, Bheema, Arjuna, Karna, Ashwatthama, Duryodhana and Dusshasana - was this great hero who won such praise?

He was yet a boy. Such was his prowess that the entire army of the Kauravas trembled.

Mighty heroes among the Kauravas, who were deemed unequalled, had to flee, To defeat and kill that young boy, all of them had to join together and encircle him.

That human thunderbolt was the heroic Abhimanyu.
