ततॊ महावने घॊरे हिडिम्बं नाम राक्षसम भीमसेनॊ ऽवधीत करुद्धॊ भुवि भीमपराक्रमः ।। १-५५-१९ ।।

sanskrit

'Fearing exposure and retribution from the sons of Dhritarashtra, the Pandavas, after setting the house of lac ablaze and ensuring the death of Purochana, escaped with their mother. In the forest near a spring, they encountered a Rakshasa. However, apprehensive about the potential consequences of revealing their identity, the Pandavas fled under the cover of darkness. It was in this instance that Bhima married Hidimva, the sister of the Rakshasa he had earlier slain, and Ghatotkacha was born of this union.' ।। 1-55-19 ।।
