स्त्रियं समाभाषसि दुर्विनीत ।
विशेषतो द्रौपदीं धर्मपत्नीम् ॥ २.९३.२४ ॥
You are ruined, Duryodhana, dull-witted one! In the assembly of the best of the Kurus you address a woman, and especially Draupadī, the lawful wife, you ill-mannered one.

वरं वृणीष्व पाञ्चालि मत्तो यदभिवाञ्छसि। ॥ २.९३.२६ ॥
Having considered this with wisdom, the one clear in the understanding of truth said: O Pāñcālī, choose whatever boon you desire from me.
2.93.27
वधूनां हि विशिष्टा मे त्वं धर्मपरमा सती ।
ददासि चेद्वरं मह्यंवृणोमि भरतर्षभ।
सर्वधर्मानुगः श्रीमानदासोऽस्तु युधिष्ठिरः ॥ २.९३.२७ ॥
Among daughters-in-law you are the most distinguished for me, a virtuous woman supremely devoted to dharma. If you grant me a boon, I choose this, O bull of the Bharatas: let the glorious Yudhiṣṭhira, who follows all dharma, not be a slave.

मनस्विनमजानन्तो मैवं ब्रूयुः कुमारकाः ।
एतं वै दासपुत्रेति प्रतिविन्ध्यं ममात्मजम् ॥ २.९३.२८ ॥

2.93.29
राजपुत्रः पुरा भूत्वा यथा नान्यः पुमान्क्वचित् ।
लालितो दासपुत्रत्वं पश्यन्नश्येद्धि भारत ॥ २.९३.२९ ॥
Having once been a king's son, pampered as no other man ever was, he would surely perish on seeing himself become a slave's son, O Bhārata.
2.93.30
एवं भवतु कल्याणि यथा त्वमभिभाषसे ।
द्वितीयं ते वरं भद्रे ददानि वरयस्व ह।
मनो हि मे वितरति नैकं त्वं वरमर्हसि ॥ २.९३.३० ॥
So be it, auspicious woman, as you say. Gentle lady, I grant you a second boon; choose it. My mind does not incline to a single boon; you deserve to ask.
2.93.31

यमौ च वरये राजन्नदासान्स्ववशानहम् ॥ २.९३.३१ ॥
King, I do not ask for Bhīmasena and Dhanañjaya, with their chariots and bows, nor for the twins; I choose that they be not slaves but free men under their own control.
2.93.32
तथाऽस्तु ते महाभागे यथा त्वं नन्दिनीच्छसि ।
तृतीयं वरयास्मत्तो नासि द्वाभ्यां सुसंस्कृता। ॥ २.९३.३२ ॥
So be it, great-fortunate lady, as you wish. Ask us for a third boon; you have not been honored by only two.
2.93.33
त्वं हि सर्वस्नुषाणां मे श्रेयसी धर्मचारिणी ।
लोभो धर्मस्य नाशाय भगवन्नाहमुत्सहे।
अनर्हा वरमादातुं तृतीयं राजसत्तम ॥ २.९३.३३ ॥
You are the best of all my daughters-in-law, one who follows dharma. Greed is the destruction of dharma; revered one, I am not willing to do so. Best of kings, I am not worthy to take a third boon.
2.93.34
एकामाहुर्वैश्यवरं द्वौ तु क्षत्रस्त्रियो वरौ ।
त्रयस्तु राज्ञो राजेन्द्र ब्राह्मणस्य शतं वराः ॥ २.९३.३४ ॥
They say a merchant's wife has one boon, a kṣatriya woman two; but a king has three, and a brahmin a hundred boons, O lord of kings.

पापीयांस इमे भूत्वा सन्तीर्णाः पतयो मम ।
वेत्स्यन्ति चैव भद्राणि राजन्पुण्येन कर्मणा ॥ २.९३.३५ ॥
These husbands of mine, having become more wicked, have crossed over; king, by meritorious deed they will also know good fortune.
