"Seeing Bhima thus hard-pressed by the rakshasa, Partha, softly laughing, spoke this word: 'Bhima, fear not, O mighty-armed one; we did not notice how you came to grips with this terrible one — we were asleep, worn out by toil. I stand ready to help, Partha, and will fight the rakshasa; and Nakula and Sahadeva will guard our mother.'"

Here brotherly love shows itself in readiness to share the danger. It is telling that Arjuna, hardly awake, at once offers his help and arranges for the mother's protection: in the hour of trial the family closes ranks as one. Here is the dharma of brotherhood: each is ready to stand in another's place, and each is given his own service — the elder fights, the younger guard the mother. Telling too is Arjuna's light laughter: among the brothers there is neither alarm nor reproach for having slept through it — only calm assurance. The verse shows the harmony of the Pandavas, in which the strength of one is completed by the devotion of all.
