THE MAHABHARATA
 
Even so, all ( the other brothers and
Draupadi) put on bark-garments; all
of them were very glad to set out
( for heaven).
 
भ्रातरः पञ्च कृष्णा च षष्ठी श्वा चैव सप्तमः ।
आत्मना सप्तमो राजा निर्ययौ गजसाहूयात् ॥
 
The five brothers, Draupadi the sixth
and a dog, the seventh : thus, making
seven with himself, king Yudhisthira
went out of Hastinapura.
 
दहशुर्योगयुक्ताश्च मेरुं शिखरिणां वरम् ॥
 
They who had entered on Yoga, came
upon Meru, the greatest of mountains.
 
याज्ञसेनी भ्रष्टयोगा निपपात महीतले ॥
 
Falling from her Yoga, Draupadi fell
down on the ground.
 
तां तु प्रपतितां दृष्टा भीमसेनो महाबलः ।
उषाच धर्मराजानं ब्रूहि यत्पतिता भुवि ॥
 
Seeing her fallen, the mighty Bhima
said to Yudhisthira : "Tell me why
Draupadi has fallen on the ground."
