स्त्रीधर्मिणी वरारोहा क्षत्रधर्मरता सदा । नाभ्यगच्छत् तदा नाथं कृष्णा नाथवती सती,“सदा क्षत्रियधर्ममें अनुराग रखनेवाली मेरी सर्वांगसुन्दरी बहू कृष्णा उस समय रजस्वला थी। वह सनाथ होती हुई भी वहाँ किसीको अपना नाथ (रक्षक) न पा सकी

strīdharmiṇī varārohā kṣatradharmaratā sadā | nābhyagacchat tadā nāthaṃ kṛṣṇā nāthavatī satī |
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “Draupadī—faithful to the duties of womanhood, of noble form, and ever devoted to the warrior’s code—was at that time in her menstrual period. Though she had protectors, she could not then find anyone to act as her lord and defender.”
