Prativindhya begotten by Yudhishthira, Sutasoma by Vrikodara, Shrutakarmana by Arjuna, Shatanika by Nakula and Shrutasena by Sahadeva; they were all great car-warriors. The Panchala princess gave birth to these five heroes, as Aditi gave birth to the Adityas.
युधिष्ठिरात् प्रतिविन्ध्यं सुतसोमं वृकोदरात्। अर्जुनाच्छुतकर्माणं शतानीकं च नाकुलिम्॥ सहदेवाच्छ्रुतसेनमेतान् पञ्च महारथान्। पाञ्चाली सुषुवे वीरानादित्यानदितिर्यथा॥
