THE MAHABHARATA
 
Having told Yudhisthira thus, the mighty
Krishna, the best among men, left for
Dvaraka, taking Subhadra and Abhimanyu
in his golden chariot. And Dhrishta-
dyumna, son of Drupada, also departed
for his city, taking the sons of Draupadi.
 
पुण्यं द्वैतवनं रम्यं विविशुर्भरतर्षभाः ॥
 
The illustrious scions of Bharata, the
Pandavas, entered the holy and beautiful
Dvaita forest.
 
अथ कृष्णा धर्मराजमिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
 
Then, Draupadi addressed these words
to Yudhisthira :
 
' नूनं च तव नैवास्ति मन्युर्भरतसत्तम ।
यत्ते भ्रातॄंश्च मां चैव दृष्ट्वा न व्यथते मनः ॥
 
"You best of the Bharatas ! surely, you
have no indignation, you whose mind is
not pained on seeing your brothers and me.
 
'नेह धर्मानृशंस्याभ्यां न क्षान्त्या नार्जवेन च ।
पुरुषः श्रियमाप्नोति न घृणित्वेन कर्हिचित् ॥
