Chapter 111
नकुलस्तु चतु:षष्ट्या द्रौपदेयास्त्रिभिस्त्रिभि: । हैडिम्बो राक्षसं विद्ध्वा युद्धे पड्चाशता शरै:
nakulas tu catuḥṣaṣṭyā draupadeyās tribhis tribhiḥ | haiḍimbo rākṣasaṃ viddhvā yuddhe pañcāśatā śaraiḥ ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ନକୁଳ ରାକ୍ଷସ ହୈଡିମ୍ବକୁ ଚଉଷଠିଟି ବାଣରେ ବିଦ୍ଧ କଲେ; ଦ୍ରୌପଦେୟମାନେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକେ ତିନି ତିନି ବାଣରେ ତାକୁ ଆଘାତ କଲେ।

Educational Q&A
Even within the harsh necessity of war, action is portrayed as purposeful and proportionate: the warriors coordinate to neutralize a threat, reflecting kṣatriya-dharma—firmness in protecting one’s side without descending into uncontrolled violence.
Sañjaya reports that Nakula shoots the rākṣasa Haiḍimba with sixty-four arrows, and the sons of Draupadī each add three arrows, collectively wounding him in the midst of battle.
