Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 28: Dharmādharmalakṣaṇa in Āpad
Crisis-Discernment of Right and Wrong
प्रियां भार्या द्रौपदी पाण्डवानां यशस्विनीं शीलवृत्तोपपन्नाम् | यदुपैक्षन्त कुरवो भीष्ममुख्या: कामानुगेनोपरुद्धां व्रजन्तीम्,पाण्डवोंकी प्यारी पत्नी यशस्विनी द्रौपदी जो शील और सदाचारसे सम्पन्न है, रजस्वला-अवस्थामें सभाके भीतर लायी जा रही थी, परंतु भीष्म आदि प्रधान कौरवोंने भी उसकी ओरसे उपेक्षा दिखायी
vāyudeva uvāca |
priyāṃ bhāryāṃ draupadīṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ yaśasvinīṃ śīlavṛttopapannām |
yad-upekṣanta kuravo bhīṣmamukhyāḥ kāmānugenoparuddhāṃ vrajantīm ||
Draupadī—the beloved wife of the Pāṇḍavas, renowned and endowed with noble character and right conduct—was being led along in a state of helpless violation, driven by lust. Yet the Kurus, with Bhīṣma at their head, looked on with indifference, failing to protect her.
