(Synopsis)

Bhimasena, popularly known as Rajkumar or Prince Bhima, was the second eldest Pandava. He was well known for his mighty nature, and voracious appetite – hence also called "Vrikodara." Despite having the strength of 10,000 elephants, he was a child at heart when it came to his family. He would go to any extreme to protect and shield them from any harm.

In his motive to protect his family from harm, Bhima failed to recognize Karna as a separate entity from the Kauravas. As his eldest brother. Like Arjuna, Bhima also harboured deep hatred for Anga Raj from their first meet to Karna's demise. How will he be able to face Mitra, the child of the dear brother, whom he had insulted past limits and desired to kill. 

Read on to explore the extent of remorse and guilt that looms over Bhima as he mourns for his actions, and once again – the blooming of yet another unique relationship between Mitra and another Mahabharata protagonist.

Definition of Terms Used in Chapter 3:

*Haara – a medium-long length necklace worn by members of the Indian royal or upper class families. A piece of jewellery that many South Asian women now wear with traditional attire.
