hidimba vadha

Paandavaas enetered deep forestof durgamaaranayamu.Hidimbudu,a demon was living there .He saw these pandavas.He sent his sister ,Hidimba,to go and kill them and bring them to him.Hidimba saw Bheema and had love at first sight.She approached him in the guise of a lady.She requested him to make her his wife.Bheema made fun of her and sent her back.Hidimbudu came angrily that his sister did not pay heed to his directions.She was afraid of her brother and hid behind Bheema.Bheema held Hidimbudus hand.They had a ferocious fight.Hidimbudu roared holding Bheema viciously.Kunthi and other brothers of Bheema woke up.

Kunthi saw Hidimbi and enquired about her.How she came to be there,they were surprised.Hidimba replied her that she was hidimbudus sister and they were fighting.She pacified Kunthi and told that Bheema would kill the demon and save them/They need not fear any more.Then they saw Bheema and Hidimbudu fighting.Bheema threw him down and broke his hips and killed the demon.

Dharmaraju and others saw Bheemas technique and the torture Hidimbudu suffered in the hands of Bheema.They continued their journey from there.Bheema told Hidimbi ,he would not believe her.He told her to leave them and go her own way.Hidimbi was afraid and shuddered with fear.

But Dharmaraju took her side.He told that they believed her virtue and had faith in her integrity.Hidimba prayed Kunthidevi and Dharmaraaju.She told Kunthee devi in secrecy that she could assess past,future and present.She told Kunthi that Krishna dvaipaayana mahaamuni would come there and preach them.

Kunthideviand Pandavas were awestruck by her forecast.They requested Bheema to accept her hand in marriage.Bheema alos put one condition that he would live with her till she had a son and no more.
