27 Barbareeck, Bheema's mighty grandson, was unable to participate in the war because he offered his severed head to his guru as 'guru dakshina' (fees). Who was his guru?
Answer: Krishna

Krishna was the initial guide in Barbareeck's life. Barbareeck was invincible in war and had three arrows given to him by the Goddess Kamakhya. Using a single arrow, Barbareeck could wipe out all enemies in his sight. But Barbareeck had sworn to aid the weaker side in war. This posed a threat to the Pandavas itself because if Barbareeck wiped out a large portion of the Kaurava army on the first day of the war, they would be weakened and thus Barbareeck would be forced to join them due to his oath. So Krishna asked Barbareeck for his head as 'Guru Dakshina'. Barbareeck as a disciple was obliged to obey. Today Barbareeck is worshipped as a form of Krishna in Khatu, Rajasthan.
