Vyaasamaharshi came to Pandavas like a boon one day.They all respected him in proper manner.He told them that they would rule the country definitely after some time.He advised them to be anonymous for certain period for the present.He directed them to go to Yekachakrapuram after some time and live there like Brahmins.He would come there and advise them accordingly .Pandavas lived in the abode of Salihothras aasramam.Hidimba gave birth to Ghatothkachudu.He told them that he would come to them in times of need and went away along with his demons in the direction of north.Pandavas reached Yekachakramanu agraharam.

Pandavas lived in a house of a Brahmin like brahmins.Pandavas went for bikshaatana and gave to their mother what all they brought.Kunthi used to divide the food food they brought in to two halves .She used to give one part to Bheema and the remaining portion was eaten by her other sons and herself.Like that they lived there in hiding.One day Kunthi and bheema were in the house.Owners of their house started crying.Kunthi said that she had to know their problem and clarify it.Because she too was affected by their unhappiness.Bheema consoled her and told her to know what their problem was.Then he would try to clear it.She went in to their house but no one took notice of her presence.They were still crying.House owner said he would go as food to the demon.Wife told him to get married to another woman and fulfill his duties.She would become the food for for the demon.Daughter told them to send her as food to the demon.She felt that they both should live to propagate the vamsam.Their small son came with a small stick and told them that he would kill the demon with that stick and save them in a childish manner.

Kunthi asked them the reason for their unhappiness.He told her that on the banks of Yamuna ,there lived a demon by name Bakudu.He used to kill and eat everyone in the village.Then the villagers came to an understanding with them that daily they would send a man along with food to him.Today was their day to send a person and food to the demon.So he had to go to the demon as food.Then Kunthi told them them not to worry.She would send one of her sons as food to the demon.But The owner said that brahma hathya was papam was the most severe papam and he would never do it.So he himself would go the demon.But Kunthi consoled him and told Bheema to go as food to the demon and make her happy.Bheema agreed.Bheema was happy that there was achance for him for duel with the demon.She told of her decision to Dharmaraju and others and they were happy for her act.Bheema took the food on a cart with two bullocks and went southwards to the demon.He was calling the demon to come.He started eating the food before his arrival.

Bakaasura was very angry with the attitude of Bheema and came to him.He lifted a tree from the ground and came to fight with Bheema.Bheema also did the same and they fought ferociously.Bakasura died of wounds made by Bheema.Pandavas lived there as usual afterwards.
