Devanagari script
त॑ समासाद्य वित्रस्ता कृष्णा कमललोचना । अदृष्टपूर्व संत्रासान्न्यमीलयत लोचने,उस अदृष्टपूर्व राक्षषके निकट पहुँचकर कमल-लोचना कृष्णाने भयभीत हो अपने दोनों नेत्र बंद कर लिये
Transliteration
taṁ samāsādya vitrastā kṛṣṇā kamalalocanā | adṛṣṭapūrva-saṁtrāsān nyamīlayata locane ||
Translation
Drawing near to that being, Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī), lotus-eyed, was seized by fear; overwhelmed by a terror she had never known before, she shut both her eyes. The scene shows how sudden, unfamiliar danger can shake even the steadfast, and it calls upon protectors and rulers to uphold dharma by not exposing the vulnerable to भय (fear) and हिंसा (violence).
