दासस्य पत्नी त्वधनस्य भद्रे ।
हीनश्वरा दासधनं च सर्वम् ॥ २.९२.१९ ॥

Is not the purpose of birth considered? Has not Arjuna, the son of Pṛthā, shown valor and manliness? This daughter of Drupada, king of the Pāñcālas, who in the midst of the assembly staked herself in the dice game…

2.92.24

तद्वै श्रुत्वा भीमसेनोऽत्यमर्षी ।

राजानुगो धर्मपाशानुबद्धो ।
दहन्निवैनं क्रोधसंरक्तदृष्टिः ॥ २.९२.२४ ॥

भीमसेनवचः श्रुत्वा राजा दुर्योधनस्तदा ।
युधिष्ठिरमुवाचेदं तूष्णीम्भूतमचेतनम् ॥ २.९२.२६ ॥

Having heard Bhīmasena's words, King Duryodhana then spoke this to Yudhiṣṭhira, who had become silent and unresponsive.

द्रौपद्याः प्रेक्षमाणायाः सव्यमूरुमदर्शयत् ॥ २.९२.३० ॥

Laughing towards the son of Rādhā, as if insulting Bhīma, while Draupadī looked on, he exposed his left thigh.

दैवेरितो नूनमयं पुरस्ता-
त्परोऽनयो भरतेषूदपादि ॥ २.९२.३४ ॥

Behold the great fear from Bhīmasena, O kings; understand this, O sons of Pratīpa. Driven surely by fate, this great calamity has already arisen before you among the Bharatas.

2.92.35

अतिद्यूतं कृतमिदं धार्तराष्ट्र ।
यस्मात्स्त्रियं विवदध्वं सभायाम्।
योगक्षेमौ नश्यतो वः समग्रौ ।
पापान्मन्त्रान्कुरवो मन्त्रयन्ति ॥ २.९२.३५ ॥

O son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, this has been brought about by excessive gambling, for you quarrel about a woman in the assembly. Your acquisition and security are wholly perishing; the Kurus deliberate on sinful counsel.

2.92.36

इमं धर्मं कुरवो जानताशु ।
ध्वस्ते धर्मे परिषत्सम्प्रदुष्येत्।
इमां चेत्पूर्वं कितवोऽग्लहिष्य-
दीशोऽभविष्यदपराजितात्मा ॥ २.९२.३६ ॥

O Kurus, know quickly this dharma. When dharma is destroyed, the assembly too becomes corrupted. If this gambler had won it earlier, he would have become a lord of unconquered self.

2.92.37

स्वप्ने यथैतद्विजितं धनं स्या-
देवं मन्ये यस्य दीव्यत्यनीशः।

धर्मादस्मात्कुरवो माऽपयात ॥ २.९२.३७ ॥

भीमस्य वाक्ये तद्वदेवार्जुनस्य ।
स्थितोऽहं वै यमयोश्चैवमेव।
युधिष्ठिरं ते प्रवदन्त्वनीश-
मथो दास्यान्मोक्षसे याज्ञसेनि ॥ २.९२.३८ ॥

I stand firm by the words of Bhīma and of Arjuna, and likewise by the words of the twins. Let them declare Yudhiṣṭhira to be without authority; then, O daughter of Yajñasena, you will be freed from slavery.

2.92.39

ईशो राजा पूर्वमासीद्ग्लहे नः ।

ईशस्त्वयं कस्य पराजितात्मा ।
तज्जानीध्वं कुरवः सर्व एव ॥ २.९२.३९ ॥

Formerly in the dice game our king and lord was the son of Kuntī, the great-souled Dharmarāja. But this self-defeated man, whose lord is he? Know this, all of you, O Kurus.

2.92.40

दुश्शासन निबोधेदं वचनं वै प्रभाषितम् ।
किमनेन चिरं वीर नयस्व द्रपदात्मजाम्।
दासीभावेन भुङ्क्ष्व त्वं यथेष्टं कुरुनन्दन ॥ २.९२.४० ॥

Duḥśāsana, hear these words that have been spoken. Why this delay for so long, O hero? Lead away Draupadī's daughter; enjoy her as a slave as you wish, O joy of the Kurus.

प्रवेशयितुमारब्धः स चकर्ष दुरात्मवान् ॥ २.९२.४२ ॥

Then Duḥśāsana swiftly began to drag Drupada's daughter inside by force; the evil-minded one pulled her.

2.92.43

ततो विक्रोशति तदा पाञ्चाली वरवर्णिनी ॥ २.९२.४३ ॥

Then the fair-complexioned Pāñcālī was crying out.

2.92.44

परित्रायस्व मां भीष्ण द्रोण द्रौणे तथा कृप ।
परित्रायस्व विदुर धर्मिष्ठो धर्मवत्सल ॥ २.९२.४४ ॥

O Bhīṣma, O Droṇa, O son of Droṇa, and likewise O Kṛpa, protect me. O Vidura, most righteous, lover of dharma, protect me.

2.92.45

धृतराष्ट्र महाराज परित्रायस्व वै स्नुषाम् ।
गान्धारि त्वं महाभागे सर्वज्ञे सर्वदर्शिनि।
पिरत्रायस्व मां भीरुं सुयोधनभयार्दिताम् ॥ २.९२.४५ ॥

O great king Dhṛtarāṣṭra, protect your daughter-in-law. O Gāndhārī, greatly fortunate, all-knowing and all-seeing, protect me, fearful and tormented by fear of Suyodhana.

2.92.46

त्वमार्ये वीरजननि किं मां पश्यसि यादवीम् ।
क्लिश्यमानामनार्येण न त्रायसिव वधूं स्वकाम् ॥ २.९२.४६ ॥

O noble lady, mother of heroes, why do you look at me, the Yādava woman? You do not protect me, tormented by the ignoble one, as you would protect your own daughter-in-law.

2.92.47

यदि लालप्यमानां मां न कश्चित्किञ्चिदब्रवीत् ।
हा हताऽस्मि सुमन्दात्मा सुयोधनवशं गता ॥ २.९२.४७ ॥

If no one speaks a word to me as I lament, alas, I am ruined, fallen under the power of Suyodhana, O foolish one.

2.92.48

न वै पाण्डुर्नरपतिर्न धर्मो न च देवराट् ।
न चायुर्नाश्विनौ वाऽपि परित्रायन्ति वै स्नुषाम् ॥ २.९२.४८ ॥

Neither Pāṇḍu, nor the lord of men, nor Dharma, nor the king of the gods, nor long life, nor even the Aśvin twins can protect this daughter-in-law.

2.92.49

धिक्कष्टं यदि जीवेयं मन्दभाग्या पतिव्रता ॥ २.९२.४९ ॥

Alas, what misery, if I, ill-fated and devoted to my husband, must go on living!

2.92.50

शृणोमि वाक्यं तव राजपुत्रि ।
नेमे पार्थाः किञ्चिदपि ब्रुवन्ति।
सा त्वं प्रियार्थं शृणु वाक्यमेत-
द्यदुच्यते पापमतिः कृतघ्नः ॥ २.९२.५० ॥

Princess, I hear your words; yet these sons of Pṛthā say nothing. For the sake of your beloved, listen to these words spoken of that evil-minded, ungrateful man.

2.92.51

सुयोधनः सानुचरः सुदुष्टः ।
सहैव राजा निकृतः सूनुना च
यद्येष वाचं महदुच्यमानां ।
न श्रोष्यते पापमतिः सुदुष्टः ॥ २.९२.५१ ॥

Suyodhana, with his followers, is extremely wicked; the king too has been wounded together with him through his son. If this evil-minded and most wicked man will not heed this great speech now being spoken...

2.92.52

इत्येवमुक्त्वा द्रुपदस्य पुत्रीं ।
क्षत्ताऽब्रवीद्धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रम्। ॥ २.९२.५२ ॥

Having spoken thus to Drupada's daughter, the steward (Vidura) addressed Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son.

2.92.53

मा क्लिश्यतां वै द्रुपदस्य पुत्रीं ।
मा त्वं चरीं द्रक्ष्यसि राजपुत्र ॥ २.९२.५३ ॥

Do not distress Drupada's daughter; prince, do not look upon her wretched plight.

2.92.54

यद्येवं त्वं महाराज सङ्क्लेशयसि द्रौपदीम् ।
अचिरेणैव कालेन पुत्रस्ते सह मन्त्रिभिः।
गमिष्यति क्षयं पापः पाण्डवक्षयकारणात् ॥ २.९२.५४ ॥

Great king, if you thus torment Draupadī, your wicked son, together with his ministers, will soon go to ruin, becoming the cause of the Pāṇḍavas' destruction.

2.92.55

भीमार्जुनाभ्यां क्रुद्धाभ्यां माद्रीपुत्रद्वयेन च ।
तस्मान्निवारय सुतं मा विनाशं विचिन्तय ॥ २.९२.५५ ॥

From the enraged Bhīma and Arjuna and the two sons of Mādrī, ruin will come. Therefore restrain your son; do not contemplate destruction.

2.92.56

एतच्छुत्वा मन्दबुद्धिर्नोत्तरं किञ्चिदब्रवीत् ।
ततो दुर्योधनस्तत्र दैवमोहबलात्कृतः ॥ २.९२.५६ ॥

Hearing this, the dull-witted one (Duryodhana) said nothing in reply. Then Duryodhana, driven there by the power of divine delusion, [remained silent].

2.92.57

अचिन्त्य क्षत्तुर्वचनं हर्षेणायतलोचनः ।
ऊरू दर्शयते पापो द्रौपद्या वै मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ २.९२.५७ ॥

Disregarding the words of Vidura, the sinful one with wide eyes, in delight, repeatedly displayed his thighs to Draupadī.

2.92.58

ऊरौ सन्दर्श्यमाने तु निरीक्ष्य तु सुयोधनम् ।
वृकोदरस्तदालोक्य नेत्रे चोल्फाल्य लोहिते ॥ २.९२.५८ ॥

While the thighs were being displayed, Vṛkodara (Bhīma) looked at Suyodhana; having seen him, he rolled his red eyes.

2.92.59

एतत्समीक्ष्यात्मनि चावमानं ।
नियम्य मन्युं बलनान्स मानी।
राजानुजः संसदि कौरवाणां ।
विनिष्क्रमन्वाक्यमुवाच भीमः ॥ २.९२.५९ ॥

Perceiving this insult in himself, and restraining his anger, the mighty and proud younger brother of the king, Bhīma, going forth from the assembly of the Kurus, spoke these words.

शकुनिं चाक्षकितवं सहदेवो हनिष्यति ॥ २.९२.६० ॥

I will slay Duryodhana; Dhanañjaya will slay Karṇa; and Sahadeva will slay Śakuni, the cheat at dice.

दुश्शासनस्य रुधिरं पास्यामि मृगराडिव ॥ २.९२.६३ ॥

I will drink the blood of Duḥśāsana, as a lion does.

2.92.64

भीमसेन न ते सन्ति येषां वैरं त्वया सह ।
नन्दा गृहेषु न बुद्ध्यन्ते महद्भयम् ॥ २.९२.६४ ॥

O Bhīmasena, those with whom you have enmity are not truly your foes; the great danger of Nandā (?) is not perceived in the houses.

2.92.65

नैव वाचा व्यवसितं भीम विज्ञायते सताम् ।
यदि स्थास्यन्ति सङ्ग्रामे क्षत्रधर्मेण वै सह ॥ २.९२.६५ ॥

O Bhīma, the resolve of good men is not known by words alone; it is known only if they stand firm in battle with the duty of a warrior.

दुश्शासनचतुर्थानां भूमिः पास्यति शोणितम् ॥ २.९२.६६ ॥

O Bhīmasena, at your command I will slay Karṇa in battle — the envious speaker, one of the wicked-minded who rejoice.

2.92.68

कर्णं कर्णानुगांश्चैव रणे हन्ताऽस्मि पत्रिभिः ।
ये चान्ये विप्रयोत्स्यन्ति बुद्धिमोहेन मां नृपाः।
तान्स्म सर्वञ्छितैर्बाणैर्नेताऽस्मि यमसादनम् ॥ २.९२.६८ ॥

In battle I shall slay Karṇa and his followers with arrows; and whatever other kings, deluded in their minds, fight against me, all of them I shall send with sharp arrows to the abode of Yama.

2.92.69

चलेद्वि हिमवान्स्थानान्निष्प्रभः स्याद्दिवाकरः ।
शैत्यं सोमात्प्रणश्येत मत्सत्यं विचलेद्यदि ॥ २.९२.६९ ॥

नैते ह्यक्षाः शिता वाणास्त्वयैते समरे धृताः ॥ २.९२.७२ ॥

कर्ताऽहं कर्मणा चास्य कुरुकार्याणि सर्वशः।
यदि स्थस्यासि सङ्ग्रामे क्षत्रधर्मेण सौबल ॥ २.९२.७३ ॥

Just as Bhīma has spoken, addressing you and your kinsmen, so I, by my deed, shall fully accomplish the duties of the Kurus. O son of Subala, if you stand in battle according to the warrior's duty…
