Kirmīra-rākṣasa-saṃgamaḥ (Encounter and Slaying of Kirmīra) | किर्मीरेण सह भीमसेनसमागमः
द्रौपहुवाच पूर्वे प्रजाभिसर्गे त्वामाहुरेकं प्रजापतिम् । स्रष्टारं सर्वतोकानामसितो देवलो<ब्रवीत्,द्रौपदीने कहा--प्रभो! ऋषिलोग प्रजासृष्टिके प्रारम्भकालमें एकमात्र आपको ही सम्पूर्ण जगत्का स्रष्टा एवं प्रजापति कहते हैं। महर्षि असित-देवलका यही मत है
drauपady uvāca pūrve prajābhisarge tvām āhur ekaṃ prajāpatiṃ | sraṣṭāraṃ sarvalokānām asito devalo ’bravīt ||
ドラウパディーは言った。「創造の最初のはじまりにおいて、聖仙たちは、ただあなたのみをプラジャーパティ(衆生の主)—万界の創造者—であると宣言しました。これは仙人アシタ=デーヴァラが述べた熟慮の見解です。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse grounds moral and religious authority in the testimony of ancient seers: the supreme lord is affirmed as the single source of creation and the ruler of beings, encouraging reverence, humility, and trust in a cosmic moral order.
Draupadī addresses a revered divine figure, invoking primordial tradition and the opinion of the sage Asita-Devala to affirm that he alone was called Prajāpati and the creator of all worlds, thereby strengthening her appeal through scriptural/ṛṣi authority.
