द्रौपद्याः शोकवचनम्
Draupadī’s Lament and Indictment of Misfortune
शीघ्रमुक्त्वा यथाकामं यत् ते कार्य विवक्षितम् गच्छ वै शयनायैव पुरा नान्येन बुध्यते,“अत: जैसी तुम्हारी रुचि हो और जिस कार्यके लिये कुछ कहना चाहती हो, उसे शीघ्र कहकर पहले ही अपने शयनगृहमें चली जाओ, जिससे दूसरे किसीको इसका पता न चल सके”
śīghram uktvā yathākāmaṃ yat te kāryaṃ vivakṣitam gaccha vai śayanāyaiva purā nānyena budhyate
„Sprich rasch, wie es dir beliebt, was du mitzuteilen gedenkst; und geh dann sogleich, zuvor, in deine Schlafkammer, damit niemand sonst davon erfahre.“
