Drona Parva, Adhyāya 32
नकुल: सहदेवश्व सात्यकिं जुगुपू रणे । उधर धृष्टद्युम्न, भीमसेन, अभिमन्यु, अर्जुन, नकुल तथा सहदेवने रणक्षेत्रमें सात्यकिका संरक्षण आरम्भ किया
nakulaḥ sahadevaś ca sātyakiṁ jugupū raṇe | uddhṛtya dhṛṣṭadyumnaḥ bhīmasenaḥ abhimanyuḥ arjunaḥ nakulaḥ tathā sahadevena raṇakṣetre sātyakeḥ saṁrakṣaṇam ārabdhaṁ |
Sañjaya dit : Au plus fort de la bataille, Nakula et Sahadeva protégèrent Sātyaki. Se rassemblant autour de lui, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Bhīmasena, Abhimanyu, Arjuna, et de nouveau Nakula avec Sahadeva, se mirent à défendre Sātyaki sur le champ de bataille — acte de camaraderie et de devoir au milieu du chaos de la guerre.
