While, in the course of their exile in the forest, the Pāṇḍavas were put up at the āśrama of maharṣi Ārṣiṣeṇa, Garuḍa picked up from the depths of the sea one day a nāga called Ṛddhimān, and due to the vibration caused by the lashing of Garuḍa's wings Kalhāra flowers from the garden of Kubera were flown to the feet of Pāñcālī. She wore the fragrant flowers in her hair saying that if she were to have good flowers, wind had to bring them. Since there was a mild and veiled insinuation in that statement that Bhīma was inferior to the wind the former did not appreciate that comment by Pāñcālī. And so he rushed to Mount Gandhamādana to collect Kalhāra flowers. (Vana Parva, Chapter 106). - [Previous: c7.205](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.205) - [Next: c7.207](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.207) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.206](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.206) · Pramāṇa
