'I desire this  flower !' said Draupadi, eyes on Bhima, flourishing hand

This one is for Yuddhishthira my offering sacred and sweet

But I must have these please, dearest - only by your feat.

 Brawny Bhima bounded brisk to her call       her wish his command

So like a lion he leaps  forthwith  far over fabled fairy land.

This lotus white for his beloved - her scent a lotus blue

A thousand will he obtain no matter what - it is but her due

Like a wild wind Bhima across the valley he roaringly rushed

On his flight path trees uprooted and meadows sweet crushed

Arrived at the pond covered with lotus bloom after bloom

Massive his hands, grasped masses of flowers

Beating off  the guardians, ballistic boom after boom

Bhima unleashed his spear, club and sword's powers

Faraway the sky over Yuddhisthira turned ominous and dark

Missing Bhima he sensed that something was sorely amiss

Questioned Draupadi and she explained her part and his in the arc

With a search-party hastened Dharmaraj, questioning the premiss.

''Brother Bhima truimphant in the lotus lake

Make not again this impulsive  and intrusive mistake!

Let nature wild and its spirits be free

We exiles are but guests in their territory''

Thus the censure ...gentle be it though

Vyasa lets characters and their events flow

Will this situation repeat again?

Yes it did and of course both boon and bane!
