ఒకరు—“నేను నకులుణ్ని”, మరొకరు—“నేను సహదేవుణ్ని”, ఇంకొకరు—“నేను ధృష్టద్యుమ్నుణ్ని” అని; మరికొందరు—“నేను ద్రౌపదిని” మరియు “మేము ద్రౌపది కుమారులం” అని—ఇలా వారు అందరూ గట్టిగా కేకలు వేశారు.

Educational Q&A

At the end of life’s journey, mere assertion of name and status is powerless; the narrative highlights how attachment to personal identity persists, yet the final passage demands truthfulness and detachment, aligning one’s self-understanding with dharma rather than ego.

A group of figures cry out loudly, each declaring who they are—Nakula, Sahadeva, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Draupadī, and the Draupadeyas—responding to an inquiry by proclaiming their identities from all sides.
