THE MAHABHARATA
यस्त्वं सभायां कुरुपुङ्गवानाम् ।
स्त्रियं समाभाषसि दुर्
विशेषतो द्रौप
" You are doomed, Duryodhana, ill-
behaving fool, you who address a woman,
and that too Draupadi, the wedded wife
(of the Pandavas), in the open assembly
of the Kuru heroes."
एवमुक्
कृष्णां पाञ्चालीमब्रवीत् सान्त्वपूर्वम् ॥
Having spoken thus, the wise
Dhritarashtra said this to Draupadi in
conciliatory words :
'वरं वृणीष्व पाञ्चालि मत्तो यदभिवाञ्छसि ।
वधूनां हि विशिष्टा मे त्वं धर्मपरमा सती ॥'
" Ask of me a boon, Draupadi, of what
you want ; virtuous and one to whom
Dharma is everything, you are the most
distinguished of my daughters-in-law."
