Bhima
In the Mahabharata, Bhima (Sanskrit: ŕ¤ŕĄ€ŕ¤®, bhÄ«m; Nepali: ŕ¤ŕĄ€ŕ¤®, bhim) or Bhimasena (Sanskrit: ŕ¤ŕĄ€ŕ¤®ŕ¤¸ŕĄ‡ŕ¤¨, bhÄ«masĂ©na) is a heroic warrior, son of Kunti by Vayu, but the acknowledged son of Pandu and the second eldest of the Pandava brothers (if Karna, son of Kunti by Surya is considered, then Bhima becomes the third eldest son of Kunti). He is distinguished from his brothers by his great stature and strength.
