Vaishampayana said: "Learning that his sister had long not returned, Hidimba, lord of the rakshasas, descended from that tree and went toward the Pandavas -- red-eyed, mighty-armed, with hair standing on end, immensely strong, his body like a mass of storm clouds, his face ablaze with sharp fangs. Seeing him rushing on, so hideous to behold, Hidimba, terrified, said this word to Bhimasena."

Here the fearsome man-eater appears -- and at once a change is revealed in his sister. It is telling that she who was sent to kill now fears for the life of the intended victim: transformed by love, she is afraid not for her brother but for Bhima. One sees how deeply attraction to the good has changed her: but lately an instrument of the man-eater, she now trembles for the righteous. Telling too is the description of Hidimba -- cloud, fangs, red eyes: a fearsome image of the raw force of evil. So the text brings face to face two forces -- the demonic fury of the brother and the awakened love of the sister; and between them will stand Bhima, in whom strength is joined with dharma.
