ADI PARVA

"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.'
 

 
'द्रुपदस् 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."
 

 
प्रययुर्द्रौपदीं 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.
