Nakula’s Adaptive Counsel to Kṛṣṇa in the Kuru Assembly (उद्योगपर्व, अध्याय ७८)
असकृच्चाप्यहं तेन त्वत्कृते पार्थ भेदित: । न मया तद् गृहीतं च पापं तस्य चिकीर्षितम्
asakṛc cāpy ahaṃ tena tvatkṛte pārtha bheditaḥ | na mayā tad gṛhītaṃ ca pāpaṃ tasya cikīrṣitam ||
“O son of Kuntī, again and again he tried, for your sake, to split me away from you. But I never accepted that sinful proposal he intended.”

Educational Q&A

Arjuna states that someone repeatedly attempted to estrange him from his own side for Pārtha’s sake, but he rejected the sinful plan and did not consent to the proposed wrongdoing.
