Dvaītavana: Brahmaghoṣa, Rṣi-saṅgha, and Baka Dālbhyā’s Upadeśa to Yudhiṣṭhira
धृष्टद्युम्नस्य भगिनीं वीरपत्नीमनुव्रताम् मां वै वनगतां दृष्टवा कस्मात् क्षमसि पार्थिव,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?
dhṛṣṭadyumnasya bhaginīṃ vīrapatnīm anuvratām | māṃ vai vanagatāṃ dṛṣṭvā kasmāt kṣamasi pārthiva ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Seeing me—Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s sister, the devoted wife of heroes, steadfast in my wifely vow—now driven into the forest, why do you, O king, still practice forbearance toward your enemies? Though I am born in Drupada’s line, the daughter-in-law of the great-souled Pāṇḍu, and the chaste wife of the foremost among the Pāṇḍavas, how can you endure this injustice and yet remain forgiving to those who wrong you?”
