17.2.17

nakulaḥ patitastasmādāgaccha tvaṃ vṛkodara |
yasya yadvihitaṃ vīra so'vaśyaṃ tadupāśnute || 17 ||

"Thus addressed by Bhimasena, Yudhishthira, said, with respect to Nakula, these words: ‘He was of righteous soul and the foremost of all persons endued with intelligence. He, however, thought that there was nobody that equalled him in beauty of person. Indeed, he regarded himself as superior to all in that respect. It is for this that Nakula has fallen down. Know this, O Vrikodara. What has been ordained for a person, O hero, must have to be endured by him.’
