Dvaītavana: Brahmaghoṣa, Rṣi-saṅgha, and Baka Dālbhyā’s Upadeśa to Yudhiṣṭhira
द्रुपदस्य कुले जातां स्नुषां पाण्डोर्महात्मन:,मैं द्रपदके कुलमें उत्पन्न हुई महात्मा पाण्डुकी पुत्रवधू, वीर धृष्टद्युम्नकी बहिन तथा वीरशिरोमणि पाण्डवोंकी पतिव्रता पत्नी हूँ। महाराज! मुझे इस प्रकार वनमें कष्ट उठाती देखकर भी आप शशत्रुओंके प्रति क्षमाभाव कैसे धारण करते हैं?

Vaiśampāyana said: “She (Draupadī), born in the lineage of King Drupada and the daughter-in-law of the great-souled Pāṇḍu, speaks from the standpoint of honor and dharma: though she is the devoted wife of the Pāṇḍavas and sister of the heroic Dhṛṣṭadyumna, she is being made to suffer in the forest. Seeing her endure such hardship, she questions how the king can still maintain a posture of forbearance toward enemies—implying that patience, when it enables injustice, becomes a failure of righteous duty.”
