Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproof and Vow-Logic: On Dice-Deception, Exile Terms, and the Governance of Anger

Adhyāya 35

Devanagari script

सर्वे ते प्रियमिच्छन्ति बान्धवा: सह सृञज्जयै: । अहमेकश्न्‌ संतप्तो माता च प्रतिविन्ध्यत:,आपके सभी बन्धु-बान्धव और सूंजयवंशी योद्धा भी आपका प्रिय करना चाहते हैं। केवल हम दो व्यक्तियोंको ही विशेष कष्ट है। एक तो मैं संतप्त होता हूँ और दूसरी प्रतिविन्ध्यकी माता द्रौपदी

Translation

Bhīmasena said: “All your kinsmen, together with the warriors of the Sṛñjaya line, wish to do what is pleasing to you. Yet only two of us suffer in a special way: I, burning with anguish, and Draupadī—the mother of Prativindhya.”
