Translation
Sañjaya said: “Those heroes, scorcher of foes, cannot now be restrained from battle. Ever since Draupadī was subjected to humiliation and suffering, she has lived in grief, daily sleeping upon an earthen altar with a fixed resolve for our destruction. She has undertaken this vow to continue until the enmity is fully repaid.”
