सौगन्धिकपुष्पप्रसङ्गः — The Saugaṇdhika Lotus and Bhīma’s Approach to Hanūmān
भीमसेन उवाच हैडिम्बेय परिश्रान्ता तव मातापराजित । त्वं च कामगमस्तात बलवान् वह तां खग,भीमसेन बोले--अपराजित और आकाशचारी हिडिम्बानन्दन! तुम्हारी माता द्रौपदी बहुत थक गयी है। तुम बलवान एवं इच्छानुसार सर्वत्र जानेमें समर्थ हो; अतः इसे (आकाशमार्गसे) ले चलो
bhīmasena uvāca haidimbeya pariśrāntā tava mātāparājitā | tvaṃ ca kāmagamas tāta balavān vaha tāṃ khaga ||
Bhīmasena said: “O son of Hiḍimbā, O unconquered one! Your mother is exhausted. You are strong and can go wherever you wish; therefore, O sky-ranging one, carry her (by the aerial path).”
भीमसेन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Strength and extraordinary ability are to be used in service of care and protection—especially toward those who are fatigued or vulnerable—reflecting compassionate duty within family and community.
During the Pandavas’ forest life, Bhīma addresses Ghaṭotkaca (his son through Hiḍimbā), praising his power and aerial mobility, and instructs him to carry the exhausted woman (identified in the Gita Press gloss as Draupadī) by the sky-route.
