मम वित्तमसङ्ख्येयं यदहं वेद सौबल । अथ त्वं शकुने कस्माद्वित्तं समनुपृच्छसि ॥

mama vittamasaṅkhyeyaṃ yadahaṃ veda saubala | atha tvaṃ śakune kasmādvittaṃ samanupṛcchasi

My wealth is beyond counting, Saubala, as far as I know. But why, Shakuni, do you ask about my wealth?

Dark, young, red-eyed, lion-shouldered and mighty-armed — Nakula alone is my stake. Know that he is that wealth of mine.

Note on the text: Corrected एवैकी → एवैको (misprint in Wikisource; eva ekaḥ, "alone"; the critical edition reads glaha eko me). The rest of the second line is a recension variant.

mādrīputrau priyau rājaṃstavemau vijitau mayā | garīyāṃsau tu manye bhīmasenadhanañjayau

These two dear sons of Madri, O king, I have won. But Bhimasena and Dhananjaya, I think, weigh more with you.
