"Learning that I was delaying, that man-eater himself came to kill all these sons of yours; but he, gripped by force, was drawn away from here by that beloved of mine, your wise, great-souled son. Behold: here are these two, man and rakshasa, swift, roaring at one another, valiant in battle."

Here Hidimba completes her confession and openly takes the side of the righteous. It is telling that she calls Bhima "my beloved" and her man-eating brother merely "the man-eater": her heart has passed wholly over to the good, and blood kinship has yielded before love for the worthy. Here is the finality of her choice: one who has turned to the good does not divide loyalty in two, but gives herself wholly to the chosen path. It is telling too that she calls the family to watch the battle without fear for Bhima: her faith in her beloved is firm. The verse shows that true conversion is a complete change of heart — and Hidimba is no longer the sister of a villain, but a companion of the righteous.
