'Nakula, matchless in the world in
beauty, has fallen on the ground."
युधिष्ठिरः-
'रूपेण मत्समो नास्ति कश्चिदित्यस्य दर्शनम् ॥'
 
Yudhisthira-
"His view was that there was none
equal to him in beauty."
 
तांस्तु प्रपतितान्दृष्टा पाण्डवः श्वेतवाहनः ।
 
पपात शोकसन्तप्तो, भीमो राजानमब्रवीत् ॥
Seeing those three fallen, Arjuna,
afflicted with grief, fell down; (and) Bhima
said to king Yudhisthira :

अथ कस्य विकारोऽयं येनायं पतितो भुवि ॥ '
"Of what is this the effect that Arjuna
has fallen on the ground ?"
 
युधिष्ठिरः-
'एकोऽहं निर्ददेयं वै शत्रूनित्यर्जुनो ऽब्रवीत् ।
 
न च तत्कृतवानेष शूरमानी ततोऽपतत् ॥
 
Yudhisthira-
Single-handed, I will burn the
enemies, so did Arjuna say ; and he did
not do that ; therefore, has this Arjuna,
who thought himself a hero, fallen. "
