The Ritual Formalization of Draupadī’s Marriage
Devanagari script
मया कथ॑ नानृतमुक्तमद्य भवेत् कुरूणामृषभ ब्रवीहि । पाञ्चालराजस्य सुताम धर्मो न चोपवर्तेत न विभ्रमेच्च,कुरुश्रेष्ठ! बताओ, अब कैसे मेरी बात झूठी न हो? और क्या किया जाय, जिससे इस पांचालराज-कुमारी कृष्णाको न तो पाप लगे और न नीच योनियोंमें ही भटकना पड़े
Translation
«يا فحلَ الكورو، أخبرني: كيف لا تصبح كلمتي التي قلتها اليوم كذباً؟ وماذا ينبغي أن يُفعل لكي لا تلحق ابنةَ ملك البانشالا—كريشنا—خطيئةٌ، ولا تتيه بسبب هذا الاضطراب في ولاداتٍ وضيعة؟»
