नकुल: सहदेवश्न युयुधानश्च वीर्यवान्
Nakulaḥ Sahadevaś ca Yuyudhānaś ca vīryavān
Sañjaya dit : Nakula et Sahadeva, ainsi que le vaillant Yuyudhāna—ces guerriers valeureux sont nommés parmi ceux qui se tiennent là tandis que la bataille se déploie, soulignant la résolution du camp des Pāṇḍava et le poids éthique de parents contraints de s’affronter dans une guerre menée par le devoir et le destin.

Even in a brief roll-call of warriors, the epic highlights kṣatriya-dharma: courage and steadfastness in a righteous cause, while reminding the listener that war involves grave moral stakes because it pits relatives and allies against one another.
Sañjaya is reporting to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, naming key Pāṇḍava-side fighters—Nakula, Sahadeva, and the powerful Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki)—as part of the ongoing description of forces and actions in the Drona Parva battle sequence.
