अश्वबन्धो5थ नकुलः सहदेवस्तु गोकुले । सैरन्ध्रीं द्रौपदी विद्धि यत्कृते कीचका हता:,अश्वोंकी देखभाल करनेवाले ग्रन्थिक नकुल हैं और गोशालाके अध्यक्ष तन्तिपाल सहदेव। सैरन्ध्रीको ही द्रौपदी समझो, जिसके कारण सभी कीचक मारे गये हैं
aśvabandho 'tha nakulaḥ sahadevas tu gokule | sairandhrīṃ draupadīṃ viddhi yatkṛte kīcakā hatāḥ ||
