Adhyaya 11 — Draupadī’s Grief, Demand for Justice, and Bhīma’s Departure
Devanagari script
मामप्युद्धृतवान् कृच्छात् पौलोमीं मघवानिव । “इसी प्रकार हिडिम्बासुरसे भेंट होनेपर भी आप ही उनके आश्रयदाता हुए। विराटनगरमें जब कीचकने मुझे बहुत तंग कर दिया, तब उस महान् संकटसे आपने मेरा भी उसी तरह उद्धार किया, जैसे इन्द्रने शवीका किया था
Transliteration
mām apy uddhṛtavān kṛcchrāt paulomīṃ maghavān iva |
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “You rescued me too from a grievous peril—just as Maghavān (Indra) once delivered Paulomī. In the same way, even when the encounter with Hiḍimba occurred, you became their protector; and in Virāṭa’s city, when Kīcaka tormented me greatly, you saved me from that great संकट, as Indra saved Paulomī.”
