Anjanaparvan , grandson of Bhima

Anjanaparvan was the grandson of Bhima and his asura wife Hidimbi . Meaning he is the son of Ghatotkach .


As he is an asura , meaning demon by birth , Anjanaparvan was very good at performing war with the help of illusions .


He came to the Kurukshetra battle ground when it was almost sunset . He was confronted with Ashwatthama who was heading the Kourava army .


At first , he threw a mace towards Ashwatthama . By illusion  , it became 1000 maces when it reached Ashwatthama . But Ashwatthama was able to escape that one .


Then Ashwattama aimed at Anjanaparvan's chest and threw some arrows . But they didn't pierce his chest . Anjanapurvan's chest was very hard that no weapon could piece it .


Finally , Ashwatthama beheaded him .
