Varchas (Sanskrit: वर्चस्, romanized: Varcas) is a Hindu deity. He is one of the eight Vasus. He is the son of Chandra, the moon god, and Rohini, a daughter of Daksha and the chief consort of Chandra.[3] According to the Mahabharata, Arjuna's and Subhadra's son, Abhimanyu, is regarded to be his incarnation.[4]
