Bhima-
THE MAHABHARATA

'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 प्रपतितान्दृष्टाट्वा 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 निर्ददेहेयं 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. "
