THE MAHABHARATA
 
Pratikami-
was mad with the
 
" Yudhisthira
infatuation of
 
gambling; Draupadi,
 
Duryodhana won you; SO you enter
Dhritarashtra's house. Daughter of king
Yajnasena! I shall lead you to do menial
work."
 
द्रौपदी-
'कथं त्वेवं वदसि प्रातिकामिन्
को हि दीव्येद्भार्यया राजपुत्रः ।
मूढो राजा द्यूतमदेन मतो
ह्यभून्नान्यत्कैतवमस्य किञ्चित् ॥'
 
How do you speak thus, Pratikamin ?
Which son of a king will play with his
wife as the stake? Mad with the infatuation
of gambling, did the king become
confounded ? Was there not for him
anything else as wager ? "
प्रातिकामी-

यदा नाभूत् कैतवमन्यदस्य
तदाऽदेवीत्पाण्डवोऽजातशत्रुः ।
न्यस्ताः पूर्व भ्रातरस्तेन राशा
 
स्वयं चात्मा त्वमथो राजपुत्री ॥
