What does pandavas of mahabharata represent?
The pure discriminative powers are symbolically represented as the five divine sons of Pandu….The five Pandavas are the central heroic figures of the Gita analogy, controlling the armies of consciousness and energy (prana) in the five subtle centers of the spine. They represent the qualities and powers acquired by the devotee whose deep meditation is attuned to the astral and causal centers of life and divine consciousness. In ascending order, the significance of the five Pandavas is as follows: Sahadeva: Restraint, Power to Stay Away From Evil (Dama, the active power of resistance, tenacity, by which restless outer sense organs can be controlled); and the vibratory earth element in the coccyx center, or muladhara chakra.

Arjuna: Self-Control; and the vibratory fire
