Araṇi Lost to the Deer: Pāṇḍavas Pursue to Preserve Agnihotra (अरणी-हरण प्रसङ्गः)
द्यूते दुरात्मभि: क्लिष्टा: कृष्णया तारिता वयम् | जयद्रथेन च पुनर्वनाच्चापि हृता बलात्,दुरात्मा धृतराष्ट्रपुत्रोंने जूएके समय हमलोगोंको भारी संकटमें डाल दिया था, परंतु इस द्रौपदीने हमें बचा लिया। फिर जयद्रथने इस वनसे इसका बलपूर्वक अपहरण किया

ユディシュティラは言った。「賽の戯れでは邪悪な者どもに苦しめられたが、我らを救ったのはクリシュナー（ドラウパディー）であった。しかるに再び、ジャヤドラタがこの森から彼女を力ずくでさらっていった。」

The verse contrasts adharma in two forms—reckless gambling that exposes one’s dependents to harm, and violent abduction—while highlighting the ethical duty to protect and honor Draupadī. It underscores accountability: leaders’ lapses invite suffering, and injustice against a woman is a grave moral transgression.
Yudhiṣṭhira recalls two crises: the Pandavas’ humiliation and distress during the dice-game at Hastināpura, from which Draupadī played a decisive role in their deliverance, and later Jayadratha’s forcible abduction of Draupadī from the forest during the Pandavas’ exile.
