Bhīmasena–Duryodhana Engagement at Sunset

माद्रीपुत्रस्तु नकुल: शूरसंक्रन्दनो युधि । त्रिगर्तानां बलै: सार्थ समसज्जत पाण्डव:,माद्रीकुमार पाण्डुनन्दन नकुल युद्धमें बड़े-बड़े शूरवीरोंको रुलानेवाले थे। उन्होंने त्रिगर्तोकी सेनाके साथ युद्ध ठाना

mādrīputras tu nakulaḥ śūrasaṃkrandano yudhi | trigartānāṃ balaiḥ sārthaṃ samasajjata pāṇḍavaḥ ||

Disse Sañjaya: Nakula, filho de Mādrī—célebre no campo de batalha por fazer até grandes guerreiros bradarem—entrou em combate cerrado com as forças dos Trigartas. No desenrolar da guerra segundo o dharma, seu valor aparece como dever marcial disciplinado, e não como mera agressão.
