Mahabharata — Shalya Parva, Shloka 19
Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
तत्र यन्मानसं महां तत् सर्व निगदामि व: । चक्ररक्षाविमौ वीरौ मम माद्रवतीसुती
tatra yan mānasaṃ mahān tat sarvaṃ nigadāmi vaḥ | cakrarakṣāv imau vīrau mama mādravatīsutī ||
桑阇耶说道：“在那里，我将把他们心中生起的那宏大决意，尽数告知诸位。这两位勇士——摩陀罗伐底之子——立为战车车轮的守护者，在战阵拥挤的厮杀中，以坚定无畏之勇护持不退。”

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in practice: steadfastly protecting a vital point (the chariot wheel) and fulfilling one’s assigned duty with courage and loyalty, even amid danger.
Sañjaya, narrating the battle events, announces that he will describe the warriors’ significant resolve; he notes that the two sons of Mādrī (Nakula and Sahadeva) are acting as protectors of the chariot wheel, guarding it in the combat situation.
