Bhīma married the *āṭaviki* Hiḍimbi and begot on her a son Ghaṭotkacha. In the disguise of Brahmans the Pāṇḍavās again reached the Pañchāla territory where the king of that land had arranged for a *svayamvara* (marriage by choice) for his daughter (प्रवीरपुरुषकन्या). Arjuna married her and fought along with his brothers for their rights backed by the Pañchāla king. The *sāmanta* who was of help to them was Vetrakīya.¹
