अनुवाद
"When I heard that Nakula, son of Madri, fought Drauni (Ashvatthama) on even terms in a one-on-one chariot duel before the eyes of the world -- then, O Sanjaya, I lost hope of victory."

Nakula, the youngest of the Pandavas, holds his own before all eyes against Ashvatthama -- one of the mightiest warriors, wielder of divine weapons. Even the youngest devotee, sheltered by the Lord, is not inferior to the great: his strength comes from nearness to Krishna, not from his own might. So every apparent superiority of the impious is dissolved: where the Lord is, even the least of His devotees stands firm.
