ADI PARVA
 
71
 
"She pleased Ged Siva with severe penance
and then the most eloquent Siva told her
this : Auspicious lady ! five scions of the
Bharata line will become your husbands.'
 
'द्रुपदस्थ कुले जज्ञे सा कन्या देवरूपिणी ।
निर्दिष्टा भवतां पत्नी कृष्णा पार्षत्य निन्दिता ।
सुखिनस्तामनुप्राप्य भविष्यथ न संशयः ॥'
 
"That maiden has been born with divine
beauty in the family of Drupada. That
flawless daughter of Parshata (Drupada),
Krishna (Draupadi), has been ordained as
your wife. Obtaining her, you shall doubtless
become happy."
 
प्रययुद्रौपदीं द्रष्टुं पाञ्चालान्पाण्डुनन्दनाः ।
कुम्भकारस्य शालायां निवासं चक्रिरे तदा ॥
 
The sons of Pandu went to the Panchala
country to see Draupadi (Krishna) and lived
in the yard of a potter.
 
तान्संप्राप्तांस्तथा वीरान् जज्ञिरे न नराः क्वचित् ॥
 
The people nowhere knew those warriors,
come (there) in that manner.
