Draupadi's wish
Draupadi is the wife of Pandavas. Once she was roaming with her husbands and a nice smell captivated her. It was a flower. Its name is Sougandhika pushpa. Draupadi is very much attracted by the beauty of the flower and also its smell. She had a desire to have it.
She knew her husbands are brave. But she also knew that the news may seem ridiculous to them. She knew out of her 5 husbands, only Bhima can help her in fulfilling her wish. She came near Bhima and told her wish. Bhima could not say no to his wife's wish. He tracked down the direction of smell of flower that Draupadi had got.
He went on that direction. He travelled a lot. But could not find the flower. While he was on his way, he saw an aged monkey sleeping in middle of the way. He came near and told monkey to vacate the way. But monkey acted that it didnt listen.
Bhima thought that he will lift the tail of the monkey which is an obstacle in path. He thought if he just use his sword, he could lift the tail. But he could not. Then he used one of his hands. But no use. Then he used both his hands to lift the tail. He could not move it an inch also. Bhima thought that he is one of mightiest man in world. But now he could not lift a tail also.
Bhima realised monkey must be a person in disguise. When he asked , Monkey replied he is Hanuman. Since both are born because of boon of Vaayu Deva ,now thay have become brothers. Hanuman came to know from Bhima that he is after a flower which is beautiful and also having nice smell. Hanuman realised that the flower must be from garden from Kubera.
Hanuman said so to Bhima. He also told the way to go to Kubera's garden. Bhima thanked Hanuman and went near Kubera. Kubera gave the flower to Bhima when he asked for it. Bhima came near Draupadi and gave the flower thus completing her wish.

This story is more complex, there was fights with Kubera's ganden guards etc. Of course since Bhima is Vaayu-putra, he can locate the smell(parimala) in the AIR much easier than anyone else!/rgds/slr
