1.215.1
अश्रुत्वैवं वचनं ते महर्षे ।
मया पूर्वं यतितं संविधातुम्।
न वै शक्यं विहितस्यापयानं ।
तदेवेदमुपपन्नं विधानम् ॥ १.२१५.१ ॥
Without having heard your words, great seer, I had earlier tried to arrange it otherwise; but what is ordained cannot be reversed. This very decree has come to pass.
1.215.2
दिष्टस्य ग्रन्थिरनिवर्तनीयः ।
स्वकर्मणा विहितं तेन किंचित्।
कृतं निमित्तमिह नैकहेतो-
स्तदेवेदमुपन्नं विधानम् ॥ १.२१५.२ ॥
The knot of fate cannot be undone. What was ordained by one's own deed, and became a cause here among many causes, this very decree has come to pass.
1.215.3
यथैव कृष्णोक्तवती पुरस्ता-
न्नैकान्पतीन्मे भगवान्ददातु।
स चाप्येवं वरमित्यब्रवीत्तां ।
देवो हि वेत्ता परमं यदत्र ॥ १.२१५.३ ॥
Just as Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī) earlier said, that the blessed lord should not give me just one husband, so he too granted her that boon. The god alone knows what is supreme here.
1.215.4
यदि चैवं विहितः शङ्करेण ।
धर्मोऽधर्मो वा नात्र ममापराधः।
गृह्णन्त्विमे विधितत्पाणिमस्या ।
यथोपजोषं विहितैषां हि कृष्णा ॥ १.२१५.४ ॥
If it has been so ordained by Śaṅkara, whether it is dharma or adharma, the fault is not mine. Let these men take her hand according to the rite; let Kṛṣṇā be content as ordained for them all.
1.215.5
नायं विधिर्मानुषाणां विवाहे ।
देवा ह्येते द्रौपदी चापि लक्ष्मीः।
प्राक्कर्मणः सुकृतात्पाण्डवानां ।
पञ्चानां भार्या देवदेवप्रसादात् ॥ १.२१५.५ ॥
This is not the rite of marriage for human beings; these are gods, and Draupadī too is Lakṣmī. By the good deeds of the Pāṇḍavas in a former deed, by the grace of the god of gods, she became the wife of all five.
1.215.6
तेषामेवायं विहितः स्याद्विवाहो ।
यथा ह्येष द्रौपदीपाण्डवानाम्।
अन्येषां नृणां योषितां च ।
न धर्मः स्यान्मानवोक्तो नरेन्द्र ॥ १.२१५.६ ॥
This marriage would be prescribed for them alone, as it is for Draupadī and the Pāṇḍavas. For other men and women, O lord of men, it is not the dharma declared in the Mānava law.
1.215.7
तत आजग्मतुस्तत्र तौ व्यासद्रुपदावुभौ ।
कुन्ती सपुत्रा यत्रास्ते धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पार्षतः।
ततो द्वैपायनः कृष्णो युधिष्ठिरमथागमत् ॥ १.२१५.७ ॥
Then the two of them, Vyāsa and Drupada, came to the place where Kuntī was with her sons, and where Dhṛṣṭadyumna and the son of Pṛṣata were. Then Dvaipāyana Kṛṣṇa came to Yudhiṣṭhira.
1.215.8
ततोऽब्रवीद्भगवान्धर्मराज-
मद्यैव पुण्येऽहनि पाण्डवेय।
पुण्ये पुष्ये योगमुपैति चन्द्रमाः ।
पाणिं कृष्णायास्त्वं गृहाणाद्य पूर्वं ॥ १.२१५.८ ॥
Then the venerable one said to the king of dharma: O son of Pāṇḍu, today itself, on this auspicious day, when the moon comes into conjunction with Puṣya, you should first take the hand of Kṛṣṇā.
1.215.9
एवमुक्त्वा धर्मराजं भीमादीनप्यभाषत ॥ १.२१५.९ ॥
Having thus spoken to the king of dharma, he also spoke to Bhīma and the others.
1.215.10
क्रमेण पुरुषव्याघ्राः पाणिं गृह्णन्तु पाणिभिः ।
एवमेव मया सर्वं दृष्टमेतत्पुराऽनघाः ॥ १.२१५.१० ॥
O tigers among men, let them take the hand in turn, each with his hand. O sinless ones, I have seen all this before in just this way.
1.215.11
ततो राजा यज्ञसेनः सपुत्रो ।
जन्यार्थणुक्तं बहु तत्तदग्र्यम्।
समर्थयामास महानुभावो ।
हृष्टः सपुत्रः सहबन्धुवर्गः।
समानयामास सुतां च कृष्णा-
माप्लाव्य रत्नैर्बहुभिर्विभूष्य ॥ १.२१५.११ ॥
Then King Yajñasena, together with his sons, provided fully all the choicest things that had been asked for the bridegroom's side. That magnanimous one, delighted, with his sons and circle of kinsmen, bathed his daughter Kṛṣṇā, adorned her with many jewels, and brought her in.
1.215.12
ततस्तु सर्वे सुहृदो नृपस्य ।
समाजग्मुः सहिता मन्त्रिणश्च।
द्रष्टुं विवाहं परमप्रतीता ।
द्विजाश्च पौराश्च यथाप्रधानाः ॥ १.२१५.१२ ॥
Then all the king's friends, together with his counsellors, gathered together, greatly delighted to see the wedding; and the brahmins and citizens also came, each according to his rank.
1.215.13
ततोऽस्य वेश्माग्र्यजनोपशोभितं ।
विस्तीर्णपद्मोत्पलभूषिताजिरम्।
बलौघरत्नौघविचित्रमाबभौ ।
नभो यथा निर्मलतारकान्वितम् ॥ १.२१५.१३ ॥
Then his palace, adorned with its foremost people, its courtyard decked with broad lotuses and water-lilies, variegated with throngs of troops and heaps of jewels, shone like the sky filled with clear stars.
1.215.14
ततस्तु ते कौरवराजपुत्रा ।
विभूषिताः कुण्डलिनो युवानः।
महार्हवस्त्राम्बरचन्दनोक्षिताः ।
कृताभिषेकाः कृतमङ्गलक्रियाः ॥ १.२१५.१४ ॥
Then those sons of the Kaurava king, young men wearing earrings, adorned, sprinkled with sandal and dressed in costly garments and robes, having had the ritual bath and performed the auspicious rites, were ready.
1.215.15
पुरोहितेनाग्निसमानवर्चसा ।
सहैव धौम्येन यताविधि प्रभो।
क्रमेण सर्वे विविशुस्ततः सदो ।
महर्षभा गोष्ठमिवाभिनन्दिनः ॥ १.२१५.१५ ॥
With the priest Dhaumya, radiant as fire, O lord, all of them entered the assembly hall in order, according to rule, like rejoicing bulls entering a cow-pen, those bulls among great sages.
1.215.16
ततः समाधाय स वेदपरागो ।
जुहाव मन्त्रैर्ज्वलितं हुताशनम्।
युधिष्ठिरं चाप्युपनीय मन्त्रवि-
न्नियोजयामास सहैव कृष्णया ॥ १.२१५.१६ ॥
Then the master of the Vedas, composing himself, offered oblations with mantras into the blazing fire; and the knower of mantras, bringing Yudhiṣṭhira near, joined him with Kṛṣṇā.
1.215.17
प्रदक्षिणं तौ प्रगृहीतपाणी ।
समानयामास स वेदपरागः।
विप्रांश्च संतर्प्य युधिष्ठिरो धनै-
र्गोभिश्च रत्नैर्विविधैश्च पूर्वम् ॥ १.२१५.१७ ॥
The master of the Vedas, taking the hands of the two, led them around in circumambulation; and Yudhiṣṭhira first satisfied the brahmins with wealth, cows and various jewels.
1.215.18
तदा स राजा द्रुपदस्य पुत्रिका-
पाणिं प्रजग्राह हुताशनाग्रतः।
धौम्येन मन्त्रैर्विधिवद्भुतेऽग्नौ ।
सहाग्निकल्पैर्ऋषिभिः समेत्य ॥ १.२१५.१८ ॥
Then that king took the hand of Drupada's daughter before the fire; Dhaumya, with mantras and according to rule, in the kindled fire, joined with sages like fire, performed it.
1.215.19
ततोऽन्तरिक्षात्कुसुमानि पेतु-
र्ववौ च वायुः सुमनोज्ञगन्धः।
ततोऽभ्यनुज्ञाप्य समाजशोभितं ।
युधिष्ठिरं राजपुरोहितस्तदा ॥ १.२१५.१९ ॥
Then flowers fell from the sky and a wind of pleasing fragrance blew; and then the royal priest, having taken leave, granted approval to Yudhiṣṭhira, who was adorned by the assembly.
1.215.20
विप्रांश्च सर्वान्सुहृदश्च राज्ञः ।
समेत्य राजानमदीनसत्वम्।
जगाद भूयोऽपि महानुभावो ।
वचोऽर्थयुक्तं मनुजेश्वरं तम् ॥ १.२१५.२० ॥
Then, having met all the brahmins and the king's friends, the high-minded one of undaunted spirit spoke again to that lord of men words full of meaning.
1.215.21
गृह्णन्त्वथान्ये नरदेवकन्या-
पाणिं यथावन्नरदेवपुत्राः।
तमभ्यनन्दद्द्रुपदस्तथा द्विजं ।
तथा कुरुष्वेति तमादिदेश ॥ १.२१५.२१ ॥
Now let the other princes take the hands of the king's daughters in due form. Drupada welcomed that twice-born man and said to him, 'Do so,' and thus he instructed him.
1.215.22
पुरोहितस्यानुमतेन राज्ञ-
स्ते राजपुत्रा मुदिता बभूवुः।
क्रमेण चान्ये च नराधिपात्मजा ।
वरस्त्रियास्ते जगृहुः करं तदा ॥ १.२१५.२२ ॥
With the king's consent and the household priest's approval, those princes became delighted. In turn, the other sons of lords of men then took the hands of those excellent women.
1.215.23
अहन्यहन्युत्तमरूपधारिणो ।
महारथाः कौरववंशवर्धनाः ॥ १.२१५.२३ ॥
Day after day, the great chariot-warriors, bearing excellent forms, increasers of the Kuru lineage.
1.215.24
इदं च तत्राद्भुतरूपमुत्तमं ।
जगाद देवर्षिरतीतमानुषम्।
महानुभावा किल सा सुमध्यमा ।
बभूव कन्यैव गते गतेऽहनि ॥ १.२१५.२४ ॥
There the divine sage, who surpassed humankind, spoke of this wondrous and excellent form. That slender-waisted, high-souled maiden remained a maiden, day after day as they passed.
1.215.25
पतिश्वशुरता ज्येष्ठे पतिदेवरताऽनुजे ।
मध्यमेषु च पाञ्चाल्यास्त्रितयं त्रितयं त्रिषु ॥ १.२१५.२५ ॥
For the eldest, the relation is husband and father-in-law; for the youngest, husband and brother-in-law; among the middle ones, the Pāñcālī's relations are threefold for each of the three.
1.215.26
कृते विवाहे द्रुपदो धनं ददौ ।
महारथेभ्यो बहुरूपमुत्तमम्।
शतं रथानां वरहेममालिनां ।
चतुर्युजां हेमखलीनमालिनाम् ॥ १.२१५.२६ ॥
When the marriage was done, Drupada gave the great charioteers wealth of many kinds and excellent: a hundred chariots adorned with fine gold garlands, yoked with four horses, with garlands of golden bridles.
1.215.27
शतं गजानामपि पद्मिनां तथा ।
शतं गिरिणामिव हेमशृङ्गिणाम्।
तथैव दासीशतमग्र्ययौवनं ।
महार्हवेषाभरणाम्बरस्रजम् ॥ १.२१५.२७ ॥
And a hundred elephants marked with lotuses, like a hundred mountains with golden peaks; likewise a hundred maidservants of excellent youth, adorned with precious dress, ornaments, garments and garlands.
1.215.28
पृथक्पृथग्दिव्यदृशां पुनर्ददौ ।
तदा धनं सौमकिरग्निसाक्षिकम्।
तथैव वस्त्राणि विभूषणानि ।
प्रभावयुक्तानि महानुभावः ॥ १.२१५.२८ ॥
Then, to the Pāṇḍavas of divine sight, one by one, Drupada, the son of Somaka, gave wealth, with fire as witness; likewise that great-souled one gave garments and ornaments endowed with splendour.
1.215.29
कृते विवाहे च ततस्तु पाण्डवाः ।
प्रभूतरत्नामुपलभ्य तां श्रियम्।
विजह्रुरिन्द्रप्रतिमा महाबलाः ।
पुरे तु पाञ्चालनृपस्य तस्य ह ॥ १.२१५.२९ ॥
When the marriage was complete, the Pāṇḍavas, mighty as Indra, having obtained that abundance of jewels and splendour, took their pleasure in the city of the Pāñcāla king.
