Nakula, Sahadeva and Draupadi Choose Their Disguises

Verse 1 (4.4.1)

इत्येवमुक्त्वा पुरुषप्रवीरस्तथार्जुनो धर्मभृतां वरिष्ठः । वाक्यं तथासौ विरराम भूयो नृपोऽपरं भ्रातरमाबभाषे ॥

ityevamuktvā puruṣapravīrastathārjuno dharmabhṛtāṃ variṣṭhaḥ | vākyaṃ tathāsau virarāma bhūyo nṛpo'paraṃ bhrātaramābabhāṣe

Having spoken thus, Arjuna, hero among men and foremost of those who uphold dharma, fell silent; and the king spoke again, now to another of his brothers.

Note on the text: Restored from the critical edition's apparatus (4.2.27d*0063): Wikisource prints two gaps in the second line ("वाक्यं तथासौ .... भूयो नृपोऽपरं भ्रातर...बभाषे"); filled with विरराम and the मा of भ्रातरमाबभाषे. Corrected धर्मामृतां → धर्मभृतां (misprint in Wikisource; the apparatus reads dharmabhṛtāṃ). Not in the critical edition's text (found in the vulgate recension); the critical edition records it in its apparatus as 4.2.27d*0063, where it closes the previous adhyaya.

Verse 2 (4.4.2)

किंकर्मा किंसमाचारो नकुलोयं भविष्यति । सुकुमारश्च शूरश्च दर्शनीयः सुखोचितः ॥

kiṃkarmā kiṃsamācāro nakuloyaṃ bhaviṣyati | sukumāraśca śūraśca darśanīyaḥ sukhocitaḥ

"What work will Nakula here take up, and how will he conduct himself? He is delicate and brave, handsome, and used to comfort.

Note on the text: The second line is CE 4.3.1c; the first line is not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). Wikisource prints no speaker heading for verses 2–4; the speech is Yudhishthira's, as verse 1 introduces it.

Verse 3 (4.4.3)

अदुःखार्हश्च बालश्च लालितश्चापि नित्यशः । सोयमार्तश्च शान्तश्च किं नु रोचयतात्त्विह ॥

aduḥkhārhaśca bālaśca lālitaścāpi nityaśaḥ | soyamārtaśca śāntaśca kiṃ nu rocayatāttviha

He has never deserved sorrow; he is young and has always been cherished. Now he is in distress, and subdued — what would he choose to do here?

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); the critical edition records it in its apparatus as 4.3.1b*0067 and 4.3.1b*0068.

kiṃ tvaṃ nakula kurvāṇastasya tāta cariṣyasi | karma tattvaṃ samācakṣva rājye tasya mahīpateḥ

Nakula, my dear, what will you do for him as you live there? Tell me truly what work you will take up in that king's realm."

Note on the text: The first line is a variant of CE 4.3.1a; the second line is not in the critical edition's text (its apparatus has it as 4.3.1b*0064).

Verse 5 (4.4.5)

अश्वाध्यक्षो भविष्यामि विराटस्येति मे मतिः । दामग्रन्थीति नाम्नाऽहं कर्मैतत्सुप्रियं मम ॥

"I mean to be Virata's master of horse. Damagranthi will be my name. This work is very dear to me.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.3.2 (Wikisource gives Nakula's assumed name as Damagranthi, the CE as Granthika).

दामग्रन्थी परिज्ञातः कुशलो दामकर्मणि । न मां परिभविष्यन्ति जना जात्विह कर्हिचित् ॥

dāmagranthī parijñātaḥ kuśalo dāmakarmaṇi | na māṃ paribhaviṣyanti janā jātviha karhicit

Known as Damagranthi, skilled in the work of halters and reins, I shall never be slighted by the people here at any time.

Note on the text: Corrected दामग्नन्थी → दामग्रन्थी (misprint in Wikisource; the name is spelled दामग्रन्थी in the previous verse and the apparatus reads dāmagranthī). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); the critical edition records it in its apparatus as 4.3.2d*0071.

Verse 7 (4.4.7)

कुशलोऽस्म्यश्वशिक्षायां तथैवाश्वचिकित्सने । प्रियाश्च सततं मेऽश्वाः कुरुराज यथा तव ॥

kuśalo'smyaśvaśikṣāyāṃ tathaivāśvacikitsane | priyāśca satataṃ me'śvāḥ kururāja yathā tava

I am skilled in training horses and in treating them as well. Horses have always been dear to me, O king of the Kurus, just as they are to you.

Note on the text: Corrected कुशलोत्स्म्य → कुशलोऽस्म्य (misprint in Wikisource; the CE reads kuśalo 'smy) and कुरुराजा → कुरुराज (misprint in Wikisource; the vocative is required, as in the CE's kururāja).

न मां परिभविष्यन्ति किशोरा वडवास्तथा । न दुष्टाश्च भविष्यन्ति पृष्ठे धुरि च मद्गताः ॥

Verse 11 (4.4.11)

नकुलेनैवमुक्तस्तु धर्मराजोऽब्रवीद्वचः । बृहस्पतिसमो बुद्ध्या नयेनोशनसा समः ॥

nakulenaivamuktastu dharmarājo'bravīdvacaḥ | bṛhaspatisamo buddhyā nayenośanasā samaḥ

When Nakula had said this, the King of Dharma spoke. He was Brihaspati's equal in wisdom and Ushanas's equal in statecraft;

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); the critical edition records its first line in its apparatus as 4.3.7d*0083 and its second as 4.3.5*0084, line 1.

"Sahadeva, always dearest of all to our mother Kunti, what work will you do for that king? Or, my dear, what will you be doing as you go about in hiding?"

Healthy, many in number and well fed, rich in milk and with many calves, sturdy, well looked after and free from fever and disease,

Note on the text: Corrected अयोगा → अरोगा (misprint in Wikisource; the line lists the cows' good health, and the apparatus reads arogā). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); the critical edition records it in its apparatus as 4.3.7b*0088, lines 1–2.

Verse 17 (4.4.17)

naṣṭacorabhayā nityaṃ vyādhivyāghravivarjitāḥ | gāvaḥ susahitā rājannirudvignā nirāmayāḥ

ever rid of the fear of thieves and spared from disease and tigers — the cows, O king, kept well together, will be untroubled and sound;

Note on the text: Corrected दृष्टचोरभया → नष्टचोरभया (misprint in Wikisource that inverts the sense, "having seen the fear of thieves"; the apparatus reads naṣṭacorabhayā) and निरामयः → निरामयाः (misprint; the adjective agrees with गावः, as in the apparatus).

For in the past you always sent me to look after the cattle, and all my skill was formed in that work, lord of the people.

Note on the text: Corrected सतत → सततं (misprint in Wikisource; dropped anusvara, the CE reads satataṃ).

Verse 20 (4.4.20)

लक्षणं चरितं चैव गवां यच्चापि मङ्गलम् । तत्सर्वं मे सुविदितमन्यच्चापि विशांपते ॥

vṛṣabhānapi jānāmi rājanpūjitalakṣaṇān | yeṣāṃ mūtramupāghrāya api vandhyā prasūyate
