तं द्वादशाख्यैर्नकुलो माधवद्च त्रिभि: शरै: । धृष्टय्युम्नश्व॒ सप्तत्या भीमसेनश्न सप्तभि:

Transliteration

taṁ dvādaśākhyair nakulo mādhavaṁ ca tribhiḥ śaraiḥ | dhṛṣṭadyumnaś ca saptatyā bhīmasenaś ca saptabhiḥ ||

Translation

Disse Sañjaya: Nakula o atingiu com doze flechas, e Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) com três. Dhr̥ṣṭadyumna o traspassou com setenta, e Bhīmasena com sete. Assim, no aperto da batalha, os guerreiros Pāṇḍava concentraram seus dardos sobre um único inimigo, exibindo resolução coordenada em meio à dura ética da guerra, na qual o dever é cumprido por força disciplinada.
