Shloka 36
दमयन्त्याः व्याकुलता — स्वयंवरसंनिपातः — देवदूतयाचनम्
Damayantī’s Distress, Proclamation of the Svayaṃvara, and the Gods’ Request
पाज्चालीं प्राहुरक्लिष्टां वासुदेवस्य शृण्वतः । दुर्योधनस्तव क्रोधाद् देवि त्यक्ष्यति जीवितम्,तत्पश्चात् उन्होंने क्लेशरहित हुई द्रौपदीसे भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके सुनते हुए कहा--'देवि! दुर्योधन तुम्हारे क्रोधसे निश्चय ही प्राण त्याग देगा
Pāñcālīṃ prāhur akliṣṭāṃ Vāsudevasya śṛṇvataḥ | Duryodhanas tava krodhād devi tyakṣyati jīvitam ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said, in the hearing of Vāsudeva, to the untroubled Pāñcālī (Draupadī): “O goddess-like lady, through the force of your righteous anger Duryodhana will surely abandon his life.” The statement frames Draupadī’s indignation not as mere personal resentment but as a morally charged power that will culminate in the downfall of adharma.
