द्वाभ्यां द्वाभ्यां महाराज शराभ्यां रणमूर्थनि । महाराज! माद्रीके प्रतापी पुत्र नकुलने बिना किसी घबराहटके युद्धके मुहानेपर दो-दो बाणोंसे उन दोनों भाइयोंको घायल कर दिया
dvābhyāṃ dvābhyāṃ mahārāja śarābhyāṃ raṇamūrdhani |
द्वाभ्यां द्वाभ्यां महाराज शराभ्यां रणमूर्धनि। माद्रीपुत्रो महातेजा नकुलोऽभयविक्रमः तौ भ्रातरौ द्वाभ्यां द्वाभ्यां शरैर्विव्याध।
