Bhima finds the flowers

Bhima continued his journey northwards. Travelling for days he soon came across the mountain which he was searching for. It was a beautiful mountain with birds and animals roaming peacefully. Beautiful flowers were blooming everywhere. Following the scent of flowers, he soon across a lake. In the lake were golden lotuses over which countless bees were buzzing. There were ducks and swans swimming there in pairs. Bhima also saw the Yakshas who were guarding the lake.

Bhima had a bath in the lake. After worshiping his Gods, he began plucking the lotuses. The yakshas were wondering who this mortal was, who had no fear. They asked Bhima to leave. When Bhima did not, they asked him who was he, who had come to the lake of Kubera.Bhima said he was son of Pandu who had come to gather the flowers for his worship.

The yakshas then attacked Bhima, who started throwing trees at them. The yakshas ran to Kubera and said Bhima was plucking the flowers. Kubera said let him take as many flowers as he wants and let him go in peace.
