क्लेशिता हि त्वया पार्था धर्मपाशसितास्तदा । सभायां द्रौपदी चैव तैश्न तन्मर्षितं तव
Translation
« Car tu as alors accablé les Pārtha, enchaînés par les liens du dharma, lors du jeu de dés; et Draupadī aussi, tu l’as cruellement fait souffrir dans l’assemblée des Kaurava. Pourtant, ils ont supporté en silence toutes ces fautes de ta part. »
