What was the name of Bhima's son with Draupadi?
Answer
Sutasoma
Answer
Sutasoma
Bhima’s son with Draupadi was Sutasoma, the second of the five Draupadeyas.
Sutasoma was born from the union of Bhima and Draupadi in the Mahabharata’s Pandava family. His name is often explained in connection with soma, a sacred substance and important religious symbol in ancient Indian tradition. The other four Draupadeyas were each associated with one of Bhima’s brothers.
Sutasoma is portrayed as a warrior during the Kurukshetra War. He fought on the Pandava side, using both the mace and bow, and is associated with several battles against Kaurava forces. The epic gives him more battlefield activity than his brief modern quiz references may suggest.
A common mix-up is between Sutasoma and Shrutakarma. Shrutakarma was Draupadi’s son by Arjuna, while Shrutasena was her son by Sahadeva. Sutasoma was also different from Ghatotkacha, Bhima’s famous son by Hidimbi, who was another major Pandava ally in the war.
