Shloka 10
नकुलस्तु तथेत्युक्त्वा भ्रातुर्ज्येछ्सल्थ शासनात् । प्राद्रवद् यत्र पानीयं शीघ्रं चैवान्वपद्यत,नकुल “बहुत अच्छा” कहकर बड़े भाईकी आज्ञासे शीघ्रतापूर्वक गये और जहाँ जलाशय था, वहाँ तुरंत पहुँच गये
nakulas tu tathety uktvā bhrātur jyeṣṭhasya śāsanāt | prādravad yatra pānīyaṃ śīghraṃ caivānvapadyata ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: Si Nakula, matapos sumagot ng “Gayon nga,” ay sumunod sa utos ng panganay na kapatid. Agad siyang nagmadali patungo sa lugar na may tubig at mabilis na nakarating sa bukal.
