Once, Bhima saw Yudhistira washing Draupadi’s feet in her chambers,
and complained to Krishna, not knowing that Draupadi was actually
Goddess Durga’s avatar. Krishna took him to the jungle and asked him to
sit quietly on a tree top and witness what happens below.
Late in the night, Bhima saw that Draupadi, as Goddess Durga, was asking for Bhima’s blood in her empty bowl, since he had entered her chambers despite being forbidden from entering. Bhima, scared to death, narrated the entire story to his mother, Kunti. Kunti then asked Draupadi never to hurt Bhima. Being a mortal, Draupadi had to promise her and in the act, she bit her lip hesitantly. Kunti wiped off the blood from her lips with the edge of her cloth and promised her that Bhima will fill the bowl for her. This did happen, when Bhima killed Dushashan for humiliating Draupadi and filled her bowl with the blood from Dushashan’s chest.
