Shloka 36
स भीमसेनस्य रथं हताश्वो माद्रीसुत: कर्णसुताभितप्त: । आपुप्लुवे सिंह इवाचलाग्रं सम्प्रेक्षमाणस्य धनंजयस्य
sa bhīmasenasya rathaṁ hatāśvo mādrīsutaḥ karṇasutābhitaptaḥ | āpupluve siṁha ivācalāgraṁ samprekṣamāṇasya dhanaṁjayasya ||
Sinabi ni Sanjaya: Si Nakula, anak ni Madri, nang mapatay ang kanyang mga kabayo at masunog sa hapdi ng mga palaso ng anak ni Karna, ay lumundag sa karwahe ni Bhimasena—gaya ng leon na sumasagitsit paakyat sa tuktok ng bundok—habang nakatanaw si Arjuna.

Educational Q&A
In battlefield dharma, loss of resources (like a chariot or horses) is not a reason to abandon duty; a warrior must respond with presence of mind, seek lawful support, and continue with courage and discipline.
Nakula’s horses have been killed, and he is wounded/pressed by the arrows of Karna’s son. In full view of Arjuna, Nakula swiftly leaps onto Bhima’s chariot, compared to a lion springing to a mountain summit.
