Mahabharata
English
Bhīmakadalīkhaṇḍapraveśa(ḥ) (Bhīma's entering the plantain thicket). § 424 (cf. Tīrthayātrāp.): There they dwelt for six nights. Suddenly a wind from the north-east brought a celestial lotus of 1, 000 petals, which Kṛshṇā presented to Yudhishṭhira
she sent Bhīma to bring others, in order to carry them to their hermitage in Kāmyaka. Bhīma proceeded along the slopes of the Gandhamādana (b)
the lions, etc., fled
invisible, the wives of Yakshas and Gandharvas stared at him. After having bathed in a lake, he blew his shell and began to proceed into a plaintain wood, but was arrested by his brother the ape Hanumat, who for his good obstructed the way to heaven (divaṅgamaṃ mārgaṃ), saying that this was the path to the devaloka, impassable by mortals, save the way of siddhi (siddhigatiṃ) (III, 146). Hanumat said he was suffering from illness and could not rise
but Bhīma would not leap over him, and could not remove his tail.-§§ 425-430: Hanumad-Bhīma-saṃvāda (q.v.).
