Kirmeera samhara Kirmeera is Bakasuras brother. He was a man eater. He was the friend
of Hidimbasura. Bakasura was troubling the people in the city, whereas the brother Kirmeera was troubling the forest animals, people. Both were having avadhyatva and ajeyatva boon from Shiva. Kirmeera was searching for Bheema to take a revenge and now he has found him in the forest. He attacked Bheema, who in turn, pushed him and killed him after a fight. Bheema did this as a yajna for Srihari.

Akshaya Paatre Pandavaas were accompanied by 10000 yatees and 88000 saints, wherever they go. They were thinking as to how to feed them. They did the aradhana of Suryantargatha Srimannarayana and got Akshaya paatre. This akshayapatre was capable of preparing any quantity of food. It was giving various food, Gems and jewels, cows, as soon as it is asked. Because of this Dharmaraja was able to feed all who followed him. Everyday, Dharmaraja used to take food only after all the Brahmins, his brothers ate. Then only Draupadi used to eat. After her bhojana, the akshaya patre was not getting anything on that day. Pandavas enjoyed like heaven in the forest also Pandavas used to hear Sarvottama Sriharis story daily from the yatees and muneeshwaraas who accompanied them. Yudhistira used to donate daily one lakh cows and suvarna bhaara when he was in Indraprastha. Even in forest, he continued the daana of cows. Maitreya munees curse to Duryodana Once, Maitreya came to Hastinavati and told Duryodana that in front of Bheemasena who has killed Hidimba, Kirmeera, Baka, Jarasandha, you cant do any thing.

Pandavas enraged the sage, Maitreya cursed him You will have a great fight, and Bheema will break your thigh. Krishna, Satyabhama also stayed with Pandavas in the forest for some time. Bheemopadesha during Vanavasa to Yudhistira During vanavasa also, Pandavaas had the privilege of hearing the words of vayudevaru. Bheemasenadevaru gave the upadesha to his brothers and wife. Vishnu is sarvakarta. All others are under his control. He is svatantra. Jeeva does the karma with Hari prerane. According to karmanusara, he will have sukha-dukha. In Jeeva yogyate there is taaratamya from Brahma to Kali. vinaa yatnaM na haTO naapi karma | - Without effort, even yogyate also will not be fruitful. Even poorvakarma also will not be fruitful. Srihari gives phala based on Yogyate, poorvakarma, purushaprayatna. As the Jeeva has kartrutva, we have to do the karma for hari pooja. Only with Hari preethi, that we can get moksha. Bheemasena also explains the Chaturvarnya dharma, Devates varna dharma, Raja dharma, etc. After hearing Bheemas upadesha, Dharmaraja took an oath that he will go for war against Kauravaas. gachChan sougandhikaartham saugandhikaaharaNa Pandavaas were in Badarikashrama. Bheema Draupadi were sitting in one place. At that time, Garuda carried one snake. When Garuda was flying, winds passed through the wings of Garuda brought one golden lotus near BheemaDraupadi. It was smelling sugandhapooritha, beautifully. On smelling the lotus Draupadi asked Bheema to bring few more such flowers. gajEnaanyaan gajaan shrImaan siMhaM siMhEna vaa vibhu: | tala prahaarairanyaaMshcha vyahanat paaMDavO balI | (vanaparva) Immediately Bheema started climbing that gandhamadhana parvata, and on his way he killed many wild lions, elephants, by throwing elephants on elephants, and by throwing lions on lions. While climbing he neither experienced fear nor strain. www.sumadhwaseva.com Collection by Narahari Sumadhwa

On his way, he saw Hanumaan, his own avatara in Tretayuga, who is Chiranjeevi. Hanuman tells Bheema that this is not the route for human and he suggested him to go back. If you still want to go ahead, you can cross over me and go, as I am aged and cant move myself. Then Bheema told that in you, there is Bhagavanta, and that I cant cross over you and asked him to keep the tail aside so that he can move there. Hanuman told that he is not even capable of moving his tail also and asked Bheema to move the tail and go ahead. Bheema tried and tried, in vain, could not move. Then Bheema asked Hanuman as to who are you? Hanuman replied that he is Hanumantha from Ramayana period and he explained what he has done during Ramavatara. Bheema wanted to see the roopa of Hanuman during Sagarollangana. Hanuman showed his huge roopa which was touching the sky. Bheema was astonished to see the Hanumakruti. Then Hanuman blessed him with the boon that Hanuman will stay in the flag of Arjunas chariot and blessed him that Flag itself can bring Shatru nigraha in Kurukshetra. Then Hanumantha showed the Soughandhika vanas route and he disappeared. Here one may get a doubt that how Bheema could not move the tail?, why could not he guess who is this monkey? Why he got feared at Hanuman?. Both Bheema and Hanuma knows that they are the same avataraas. But they only pretended as if they do not know each other. Acharya Madhwa in MBTN has clarified that devates must not show the shakthi of their moola roopa with that of the avatara roopa. In order to see the Hariyaajne, he didnt move the tail. He knows that Hanuman is his another avatara. This is only for asura jana mohanartha that he did like that. There is no difference between Hanumanthas shakthi and Bheemas shakthi. Like Sriharis different roopas, there is no bedha (differenciation) for Vayus avatara roopaas also.

Killing of Krodhavashas After reaching Gandamadhana parvatha, Bheema saw a river which contained golden lotus, which was supervised by Krodhavashadi daithyaas. The river belong to Kubera. The Rakshaas told that this flower is for devate and not for you. Bheema told that he has not come hear to beg, and that he will get it through efforts. Bheema further told that flowing river is no bodys property and went inside the river. The Krodhavasha daithya team comprise of 100 crore. They all were protected by the ajeyatva boon from Shiva. Bheema killed all of them with Gadha only. After this Bheema brought golden lotus and gave it to Draupadi. Killing of Manimantha After some period of stay in Gandhamadhana parvata Draupadi saw panchavarna pushpa from Lotus vana of Kubera and asked Bheema to bring it. Draupadi wanted to have killing of more daithyaas, and she asked Bheema to bring more flower from the moola vana. When Bheema came there with gadha, there were many daithyaas with shivas boon with ajeyatva, they tried to prevent Bheemas entry. Their leader was Manimanta, who had attacked with more than 300 mahapadma raakshasa sainya. Bheema killed all. Same Manimantha was born again in Kaliyuga, having been defeated by Bheemasena, he created a new shastra in the form of Acharya Shankara, the advaitha shastra. Kubera got angry as Bheema attacked his Kubera vana twice and he himself went with his sainya to attack, with asuraavesha. But immediately after seeing Bheema Dharmaraja, Kubera lost his asuravesha, and repented.
