Nakula

Nakula was the fourth of the five Pandava brothers. Nakula and Sahadeva were twins born to Madri, who had invoked the Ashwini Kumaras. Nakula had two wives: Draupadi and Karenuvati of Chaidya kingdom. Draupadi was common wife of Pandavas. Nakula's son with Draupadi was Shatanika and Niramitra was his son with Karenuvati . 

When Pandu was cursed by Rishi Kindama that he will die if he joins his wives in sexual intercourse, Kunti, with his permission, invokes, through the boon bestowed to her by Rishi Durvasa before marriage, the Gods Yama, Vayu and Indra to beget Yudhishthira, Bhimasena and Arjuna, respectively. Seeing this, Madri is sorrowed that she is without any child. At the suggestion of Pandu, Kunti then gives the mantra to Madri, who invokes Ashwini Kumars - the divine twins - from whom she begets the twins - Nakula and Sahadeva. Nakula is considered to be an Amsha of the Ashwini Kumars [The birth and childhood of Kauravas and the Pandavas].

During the Rajasuya sacrifice, Nakula conquered the kings of the West [Pandava Digvijaya - Conquering the four quarters]. During the Agnatavasa, Nakula disguised himself as an ostler and assumed the name of Damagranthi at the kingdom of Virata. He worked as a horse-trainer and looked after horses in the royal stable. He had a secret name Jayasena among his brothers and Draupadi during this period.

Nakula suggested Drupada to be the general of the Pandava army, but Yudhishthira and Arjuna opted for Dhristadyumna. As a warrior, Nakula slew prominent war-heroes on the enemy side. The flag of Nakula's chariot bore the image of a red deer with golden back. Nakula was the leader of one of the seven Akshahunis. On the 1st day of the war, he defeated Dussasana, sparing his life so that Bhimasena could fulfill his oath. On the 11th day, he defeated Shalya, destroying his chariot. On the 13th day, his advance into Drona's formation was repulsed by Jayadratha. On the 14th day, he defeated Shakuni. On the 15th day, he was defeated by Duryodhana, and was rescued by Chekitana. On the 16th day, he was defeated and spared by Karna. On the 17th day he killed Shakuni's son Vrikaasur. On the 18th day of the war he killed three sons of Karna -  Sushena, Chitrasena and Satyasena.

During the Mahaprasthan, after the war, Nakula was the third one to fall after Draupadi and Sahadeva. When Bhima asked Yudhishthira why Nakula fell, Yudhishthira tells him that his pride in his beauty was the cause of his fall.

Nakula was the most handsome in his lineage. He was devastatingly handsome and compared with Kamadeva for his looks. He was a master swordsman and skilled in the art of horses.
