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 गजसाहूह्वयात् ॥
 

The five brothers, Draupadi the sixth

and a dog, the seventh : thus, making

seven with himself, king Yudhisthira

went out of Hastinapura.
 

 
दृशुर्योगयुक्ताश्च 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 दृष्टाट्वा भीमसेनो महाबलः ।

षावाच धर्मराजानं ब्रूहि यत्पतिता भुवि ॥
 

Seeing her fallen, the mighty Bhima

said to Yudhisthira : "Tell me why

Draupadi has fallen on the ground."
