Damayantī’s Distress, Proclamation of the Svayaṃvara, and the Gods’ Request
देवपुत्रौ महाभागौ देवराजसमझ्ुती | नकुल: सहदेवश्न पाण्डवौ युद्धदुर्मदौ,'देवपुत्र महाभाग नकुल-सहदेव देवराज इन्द्रके समान तेजस्वी हैं। वे दोनों ही पाण्डव युद्धमें प्रचण्ड हैं
Vaiśampāyana uvāca | devaputrau mahābhāgau devarājasamadyutī | nakulaḥ sahadevaś ca pāṇḍavau yuddhadurmadau ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Ang dalawang anak ng mga diyos, lubhang pinagpala at nagniningning na gaya ni Indra, hari ng mga diyos—sina Nakula at Sahadeva—ang magkapatid na Pāṇḍava na iyon, ay mabangis at walang pagpipigil kapag sumiklab ang init ng labanan. Itinatampok ng salaysay ang kanilang lakas na kaloob ng mga diyos at ang nakapanghihilakbot na diwang mandirigma na sumusuporta sa makatarungang pakikibaka ng mga Pāṇḍava ayon sa dharma.
