By their lore the brahmins named him Prativindhya: 'In knowledge of parrying an enemy's blows, may he be Prativindhya.' Sutasoma, the great archer, equal in brilliance to moon and sun, Draupadi bore from Bhimasena. 'Having accomplished a great and renowned deed, when the Diademed One returned, a son was born to you' — thus he became Shrutakarman. After the name of the royal sage Shatanika, Nakula gave his son the same name, an increaser of fame. Then Krishna bore, under the constellation of Fire, a son from Sahadeva — hence he is known as Shrutasena.

Here the names of the sons are meaningful, reflecting the circumstances of their birth. It is significant that each name carries meaning — valor, a renowned deed, an auspicious constellation: among the righteous, naming is never accidental but significant. Here a name can be both a blessing and an omen. So the scripture shows forth the naming of the Draupadeyas; and in their names are stamped the hopes of the line.
