Draupadī on Action, Fate, and Human Effort
सृञ्जयै: सह कैकेयैर्वष्णीनां वृषभेण च । कथंस्विद् युधि कौन्तेय न राज्यं प्राप्तुयामहे,“कुन्तीनन्दन! सूंजय और कैकयवंशी वीरों तथा वृष्णिवंशावतंस भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके साथ होकर हम संग्राममें अपना राज्य कैसे नहीं प्राप्त कर लेंगे?
sṛñjayaiḥ saha kaikeyair vṛṣṇīnāṃ vṛṣabheṇa ca | kathaṃ svid yudhi kaunteya na rājyaṃ prāptuyāmahe ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: «يا ابنَ كونتي، ومعنا السِّرِنْجَيا والكيكَيَة، ومعنا كذلك ثورُ آلِ فِرِشْني حليفًا، فكيف لا نستردُّ مملكتنا في ساحة القتال؟»
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes confidence grounded in righteous alliances and capable leadership: when strong, dharma-aligned supporters stand together—especially with Kṛṣṇa as the foremost ally—restoring rightful sovereignty becomes morally and practically attainable.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports a statement addressed to a Pāṇḍava (“Kaunteya”), expressing assurance that, supported by allied clans (Sṛñjayas and Kaikeyas) and the foremost Vṛṣṇi (Kṛṣṇa), they will be able to win the battle and recover their kingdom.
