3.269.1
सरोषरागोपहतेन वल्गुना ।
सरागनेत्रेण नतोन्नतभ्रुवा।
मुखेन विस्फूर्य सुवीरराष्ट्रपं ।
ततोऽब्रवीत्तं द्रुपदात्मजा पुनः ॥ ३.२६९.१ ॥
Then the daughter of Drupada, her lovely face stained with the red of anger, her eyes reddened, her brows arching and lowering, her face trembling, spoke again to the lord of the realm of Suvīra.
3.269.2
यशस्विनस्तीक्ष्णविषान्महारथा-
नभिब्रुवन्मूढ न लज्जसे कथम्।
महेन्द्रकल्पान्निरतान्स्वकर्मसु ।
स्तितान्समूहेष्वपि यक्षरक्षसाम् ॥ ३.२६९.२ ॥
You fool, why are you not ashamed to revile famous great charioteers, sharp as poison, who are like Mahendra, devoted to their own duties, who stand firm even among the hosts of yakṣas and rākṣasas?
3.269.3
न किंचिदार्याः प्रवदन्ति पापं ।
वनेचरंवा गृहमेधिनं वा।
तपस्विनं संपरिपूर्णविद्यं ।
भजन्ति चैवं सुनराः सुवीर ॥ ३.२६९.३ ॥
The noble ones speak no evil at all of a forest-dweller, a householder, or an ascetic fully learned in knowledge. O Suvīra, good men honour them in just this way.
3.269.4
अहं तु मन्ये तव नास्ति कश्चि-
देतादृशे क्षत्रियसंनिवेशे।
यस्त्वद्य पातालमुखे पतन्तं ।
पाणौ गृहीत्वा प्रतिसंहरेत ॥ ३.२६९.४ ॥
I think there is no one of yours in such an assembly of kṣatriyas who would seize you by the hand and hold you back today as you fall into the mouth of the netherworld.
3.269.5
नागं प्रमिन्नं गिरिकूटकल्प-
मुपत्यकां हैमवतीं चरन्तम्।
दण्डीव यूथादपसेधसि त्वं ।
यो जेतुमाशंससि धर्मराजम् ॥ ३.२६९.५ ॥
As a staff-bearing guard drives off from the herd a wounded elephant, like a mountain peak, roaming the foothills of the Himālaya, so you wish to conquer the king of dharma.
3.269.6
बाल्यात्प्रसुप्तस्य महाबलस्य ।
सिंहस् पक्ष्माणि मुखाल्लुनासि।
पदा समाहत्य पलायमानः ।
क्रुद्धं यदा द्रक्ष्यसि भीमसेनम् ॥ ३.२६९.६ ॥
Out of youthful folly, you pluck the mane from the mouth of the sleeping, mighty lion; when you, fleeing after striking it with your foot, see Bhīmasena enraged.
3.269.7
महाबलं घोरतरं प्रवृद्धं ।
जातं हरिं पर्वतकन्दरेषु।
प्रसुप्तमुग्रं प्रपदेन हंसि ।
यः क्रुद्धमायोत्स्यसि जिष्णुमुग्रम् ॥ ३.२६९.७ ॥
You strike with your foot the mighty, most fearsome lion born and grown in mountain caves, the sleeping fierce one; you who will fight the enraged, fierce Jiṣṇu (Arjuna).
3.269.8
कृष्णोरगौ तीक्ष्णमुखौ द्विजिह्वौ ।
मत्तः पदा क्रामसि पुच्छदेशे।
यः पाण्डवाभ्यां पुरुषोत्तमाभ्यां ।
जघन्यजाभ्यां प्रयुयुत्ससे त्वम् ॥ ३.२६९.८ ॥
You tread with your foot on the tail-region of two black snakes with sharp mouths and two tongues, without fearing me; you who wish to fight with the two best of men, the Pāṇḍavas, the younger brothers.
3.269.9
यथा च वेणुः कदली नलो वा ।
फलन्त्यभावाय न भूतयेऽऽत्मनः।
तथैव मां तैः परिरक्ष्यमाणा-
मादास्यसे कर्कटकीव गर्भम् ॥ ३.२६९.९ ॥
Just as bamboo, the plantain, or the reed bears fruit for its own destruction and not for its welfare, so you will seize me, guarded by them, as a female crab seizes its own embryo.
3.269.10
जानामि कृष्णे विदितं ममैत-
द्यथाविधास्ते नरदेवपुत्राः।
न त्वेवमेतेन विभीषणेन ।
शक्या वयं त्रासयितुं त्वयाऽद्य ॥ ३.२६९.१० ॥
O Kṛṣṇā, I know what kind of men these sons of the king of men are, and this is known to me; but by this terrifying one, we cannot be frightened thus by you today.
3.269.11
वयं पुनः सप्तदशेषु कृष्णे ।
कुलेषु सर्वेऽनवमेषु जाताः।
षड्भ्यो गुणेभ्योऽभ्यधिका विहीना ।
न्मन्यामहे द्रौपदी पाण्डुपुत्रान् ॥ ३.२६९.११ ॥
We, moreover, were born in seventeen of the most excellent families, superior and not deficient in six qualities. We do not regard the sons of Pāṇḍu, Draupadī.
3.269.12
सा क्षिप्रमातिष्ठ गजं रथं वा ।
न वाक्यमात्रेण वयं हि शक्याः।
आशंस वा त्वं कृपणं वदन्ती ।
सौवीरराजस्य पुनः प्रसादम् ॥ ३.२६९.१२ ॥
Quickly, mount an elephant or a chariot; we cannot be frightened by words alone. Or else, speaking piteously, expect again the favour of the king of the Sauvīras.
3.269.13
महाबला किंत्विह दुर्बलेव ।
सौवीरराजस्य मताऽहमस्मि।
नाहं प्रमाथादिह संप्रतीता ।
सौवीरराजं कृपणं वदेयम् ॥ ३.२६९.१३ ॥
But though I seem weak here, I am regarded as powerful by the king of the Sauvīras. Here I am not convinced by dread; should I speak piteously to the king of the Sauvīras?
3.269.14
यस्या हि कृष्णौ पदवीं चरेतां ।
समास्थितावेकरथे समेतौ।
इन्द्रोऽपितां नापहरेत्कथंचि-
न्मनुष्यमात्रः कृपणः कुतोऽन्यः ॥ ३.२६९.१४ ॥
She whose path the two Kṛṣṇas follow, mounted together on one chariot, not even Indra could seize in any way; how then could any other wretched mere mortal?
3.269.15
यथा विकीटी परवीरघाती ।
निघ्नन्रथस्थो द्विषतां मनांसि।
मदन्तरे त्वद्ध्वजिनीं प्रवेष्टा ।
वक्षं दहन्नग्निरिवोष्णगेषु ॥ ३.२६९.१५ ॥
As Vikīṭī, slayer of enemy heroes, standing on his chariot and striking the hearts of foes, will enter your army on my account, like fire burning the chest of dry summer grass.
3.269.16
जनार्दनः सान्धकवृष्णिवीरो ।
महेष्वासाः केकयाश्चापि सर्वे।
एते हि सर्वे मम राजपुत्राः ।
प्रहृष्टरूपाः पदवीं चरेयुः ॥ ३.२६९.१६ ॥
Janārdana, the heroes of the Sātvata, Andhaka and Vṛṣṇi clans, the great archers, and the Kekaya princes too — all of these are my royal sons; may they go their way with joyful faces.
3.269.17
मौर्वीविसृष्टाः स्तनयित्नुघोषा ।
गाण्डीवमुक्तास्त्वतिवेगवन्तः।
हस्तं समाहत्य धनंजयस्य ।
भीमाः शब्दं घोरतरं नदनति ॥ ३.२६९.१७ ॥
Released from the bowstring, with the roar of thunder, loosed from Gāṇḍīva and very swift — struck by the hand of Dhanaṃjaya, they roar with a sound more terrible and dreadful still.
3.269.18
गाण्डीवमुक्तांश्च महाशरौघान् ।
पतङ्गसङ्घानिव शीघ्रवेगान्।
यदा द्रष्टास्यर्जुनं वीर्यशालिनं ।
तदा स्वबुद्धिं प्रतिनिन्दितासि ॥ ३.२६९.१८ ॥
The great floods of arrows loosed from Gāṇḍīva, swift as swarms of locusts — when you see Arjuna, full of valour, then you will reproach your own understanding.
3.269.19
सशङ्खघोषः सतलत्रघोषो ।
गाण्डीवधन्वा मुहुरुद्वहंश्च।
यदा शरानर्पयिता तवोरसि ।
तदा मनस्ते किमिवाभविष्यत् ॥ ३.२६९.१९ ॥
With the sound of the conch and the twang of the arm-guard, the bowman of Gāṇḍīva raising his bow again and again — when he discharges arrows upon your breast, what will your mind be like then?
3.269.20
गदाहस्तं भीममभिद्रवन्तं ।
माद्रीपुत्रौ संपतन्तौ दिशश्च।
अमर्षजं क्रोधविषं वमन्तौ ।
दृष्ट्वा चिरं तापमुपैष्यसेऽधम ॥ ३.२६९.२० ॥
Having seen Bhīma rush forward with mace in hand, and the two sons of Mādrī charging across the quarters, vomiting the venom of anger born of indignation — you, wretch, shall suffer torment for a long time.
3.269.21
यथा वाऽहं नातिचरे कथंचि-
त्पतीन्महार्हान्मनसाऽपिजातु।
तेनाद्य सत्येन वशीकृतंत्वां ।
द्रष्टास्मि पार्थैः परिकृष्यमाणम् ॥ ३.२६९.२१ ॥
If I have never in any way, even in my mind, transgressed against my worthy husbands, then by that truth you, subdued today, shall see yourself dragged away by the Pārthas.
3.269.22
न संभ्रमं गन्तुमहं हि शक्ष्ये ।
त्वया नृशंसेन विकृष्यमाणा।
समागताऽहं हि कुरुप्रवीरैः ।
पुनर्वनं काम्यकमागताऽस्मि ॥ ३.२६९.२२ ॥
I will not go in agitation while you, cruel one, drag me away. I came here with the heroes of the Kurus; now again I have come to the Kāmyaka forest.
3.269.23
इत्येवमुक्तस्तु स सिन्धुनाथ-
स्तां द्रौपदीमाहविशालनेत्राम्।
आरुह्यतामाशु रथं मदीयं ।
मा त्वां वलाद्दौपदिकर्षयेहम् ॥ ३.२६९.२३ ॥
Thus addressed, the lord of the Sindhus said to Draupadī, broad-eyed: "Quickly mount my chariot, lest I drag you by force, Draupadī."
3.269.24
सा ताननुप्रेक्ष्य विशालनेत्रा ।
जिघृक्षमाणानवभर्त्सयन्ती।
प्रोवाच मा मा स्पृशतेति भीता ।
धौम्यं प्रचुक्रोश पुरोहितं सा ॥ ३.२६९.२४ ॥
Looking at them, who wished to seize her, the broad-eyed woman rebuked them and, frightened, said: "Do not touch me!" And she cried out to the priest Dhaumya.
3.269.25
जग्राह तामुत्तरवस्त्रदेशे ।
जयद्रथस्तं समवाक्षिपत्सा।
तया समाक्षिप्ततनुः स पापः ।
पपात शाखीव निकृत्तमूलः ॥ ३.२६९.२५ ॥
Jayadratha seized the end of her upper garment, but she thrust him away. Pushed by her, that sinner fell like a tree with its root cut.
3.269.26
प्रगृह्यमाणा तु महाजवेन ।
मुहुर्विनिःश्वस्य च राजपुत्री।
सा मृष्यमाणा रथमारुरोह ।
धौम्यस्य पादावभिवाद्य कृष्णा ॥ ३.२६९.२६ ॥
Though dragged away with great speed, the princess repeatedly sighed deeply. Enduring it, she mounted the chariot; having bowed at the feet of Dhaumya, Kṛṣṇā climbed onto the chariot.
3.269.27
नेयं शक्या त्वया नेतुमविजित्य महारथान् ।
धर्मं क्षत्रस् पौराणमवेक्षस्व जयद्रथ ॥ ३.२६९.२७ ॥
She cannot be taken away by you without conquering the great charioteers. Jayadratha, consider the ancient law of the kṣatriyas.
3.269.28
क्षुद्रं कृत्वाफलंपापं त्वं प्राप्स्यसि न संशयः ।
आसाद्य पाण्डवान्वीरान्धर्मराजपुरोगमान् ॥ ३.२६९.२८ ॥
Having committed a base and fruitless sin, you will surely reap its reward, without doubt; having approached the heroic Pāṇḍavas, led by the king of dharma.
3.269.29
इत्युक्तवाह्रियमाणां तां राजपुत्रीं यशस्विनीम् ।
अन्वगच्छत्तदा धौम्यः पदातिगणमध्यगः ॥ ३.२६९.२९ ॥
Having said this, Dhaumya then followed the glorious princess who was being carried off, moving in the midst of the infantry.
