In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Bhim (Sanskrit: ???, Bhima, Tibetan: ????????????, Wylie: mi 'jigs stan) (lit. 'terrible', 'awful'), also called Vrikodara (lit. 'one with a wolf's belly' also in Javanese: Werkudoro, is the second of the Pandava brothers. He is one of the central characters and is symbolic of great strength.
