About Nakula\u2026<\/p>\n
Karna\u2019s son, Sushena was the most prominent warrior killed by Nakula.
\n\u2022 Nakula slayed Karna\u2019s son, Sushena on the 18th day of Kurushetra war.
\nOn seeing that his brother had been slain, Sushena became senseless with rage. He swiftly showered down arrows on Pandu\u2019s descendant, who was fighting on foot. On seeing that Nakula was without a chariot, Droupadi\u2019s immensely strong son, Sutasoma, wished to save his father70 in the battle and attacked. Nakula climbed onto Sutasoma\u2019s chariot. The foremost among the Bharata lineage looked as beautiful as a lion on a mountain. He picked up another bow and started to fight with Sushena. They showered down arrows on each other and looked dazzling.
\nThose two supreme maharathas made great efforts to slay each other. Sushena angrily struck Pandava with three arrows and pierced Sutasoma in the arms and the chest with twenty arrows. O great king! Nakula, the destroyer of enemy heroes, became angry at this. The valiant one covered all the directions with his arrows. In the battle, he grasped an extremely energetic arrow that was in the shape of a half- moon and was pointed at the tip. With great force, he shot it towards Karna\u2019s son. O supreme among kings! While all the soldiers looked on, it severed his head from his body and it was extraordinary. O king! He was slain by the great-souled Nakula and fell down, like a large tree on a bank that is destroyed by the force of a river. O bull among the Bharata lineage! On seeing that Karna\u2019s son had been killed and on beholding Nakula\u2019s valour, your soldiers were frightened and fled.

\nAbout Sahadeva\u2026<\/p>\n
Shakuni was the most prominent warrior killed by Sahadeva.
\n\u2022 Sahadeva slayed Shakuni on the 18th day of Kurushetra war.
\nThe invincible Sahadeva, the lord of warriors, attacked him. He seemed to be smiling, as he stretched his bow with great force and rage. He pierced Shakuni with ten arrows and his horses with four. He severed his umbrella, standard and bow and roared like a lion. Soubala\u2019s standard, bow and umbrella were severed by Sahadeva and he was pierced in all his inner organs by many arrows. O great king! Then, the powerful Sahadeva again shot a shower of invincible arrows towards Shakuni. Angrily, Subala\u2019s son rushed towards Madri\u2019s son, Sahadeva. He wished to kill him with a javelin that was decorated with gold. In the forefront of that battle, as he rushed swiftly ahead, Madri\u2019s son severed the upraised javelin and the two well-rounded arms with three broad-headed arrows. Having spiritedly severed them, he roared.
\nActing swiftly, he then used a broad-headed arrow that was gold-tufted and was capable of penetrating all armour. It was firm and was made out of iron. Aiming this well and with force, he severed his head from his body. That arrow was decorated with gold. It was extremely sharp and was as radiant as the sun. In the battle, Pandava used that to sever the head of Subala\u2019s son and he fell down on the ground. The arrow was gold-tufted and had been sharpened on stone and Pandu\u2019s enraged son powerfully severed the head with this. He52 was the root of all the bad conduct of the Kurus. With the head severed, Shakuni was seen to lie down on the ground. His body was wet with blood.

Nakula and Sahadeva were very underrated warriors in Mahabharata.
