द्रौपद्याः भीमसेन-प्रबोधनम्

Draupadī Awakens Bhīmasena

Devanagari script

भारत! इतनेमें ही भगवान्‌ सूर्यने जिस राक्षसको द्रौपदीकी रक्षाके लिये नियुक्त कर रखा था, उसने कीचकको पकड़कर आँधीके समान वेगसे दूर फेंक दिया

Transliteration

Bhārata! itane meṃ hi bhagavān sūrya-ne jis rākṣasa-ko draupadī-kī rakṣā ke liye niyukta kara rakhā thā, usane kīcaka-ko pakaṛakara āṃdhī ke samāna vega-se dūra pheṃka diyā.

Translation

O descendant of Bharata, just then the blessed Sun—who had appointed a rākṣasa to guard Draupadī—caused that guardian to seize Kīcaka and hurl him far away with the speed of a storm. The episode underscores that when a woman under protection is threatened, providential guardianship and righteous force intervene to restrain the aggressor and uphold moral order.
