Bhima

In Hinduism, Bhima is a heroic warrior, son of Kunti by Vayu, but considered a son of Pandu and the second eldest of the Pandava brothers. He is distinguished from his brothers by his great stature and strength.

With his brothers, he is married to Draupadi. He lives for a time in the forest with the rakshashi Hdimbi, who bears him a son, Ghatotkacha.

He was addressed sometimes as "Bhimasena" because he was as powerful as a whole "sena," or army.
