धृतराष्ट्रस्य पाण्डवेषु प्रीति-वृत्तान्तः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Affectionate Disposition toward the Pāṇḍavas
माद्रीपुत्रौ च धर्मज्ञौ चित्त तस्यान्ववर्तताम्
mādrīputrau ca dharmajñau cittaṃ tasyānvavartatām
మాద్రీదేవి ఇద్దరు కుమారులు—ధర్మజ్ఞులు—తమ మనస్సును అతనితో సమంగా ఉంచి, ఆచరణలోను సంకల్పంలోను అతని మార్గాన్నే అనుసరించిరి.

Educational Q&A
Ethical maturity expresses itself as disciplined alignment of one’s mind and actions with dharma and with rightful leadership; Nakula and Sahadeva are portrayed as dharma-aware followers whose inner intention (citta) supports the chosen course rather than resisting it.
In the Ashramavāsika setting, the narrative notes that Mādrī’s two sons—Nakula and Sahadeva—act as dharma-knowing companions: they keep their minds in step with him (the leading figure in context) and follow his direction in resolve and behavior.
