Drupada’s Alarm and Inquiry Regarding Śikhaṇḍinī (द्रुपदस्य भय-विमर्शः)
यथावृत्तं तु तत् सर्वमाचख्यौ द्रुपदस्य तत् । द्रुपदस्तस्य तच्छुत्वा हर्षमाहारयत् परम्,उसने जैसे जो वृत्तान्त हुआ था, वह सब राजा ट्रपदसे कह सुनाया। उसकी यह बात सुनकर राजा द्रुपदको अपार हर्ष हुआ
yathāvṛttaṃ tu tat sarvam ācakhyau drupadasya tat | drupadas tasya tac chrutvā harṣam āhārayat param ||
പിന്നീട് സംഭവിച്ചതെല്ലാം എങ്ങനെയുണ്ടായോ അതുപോലെ മുഴുവനും അവൻ രാജാവ് ദ്രുപദനോട് പറഞ്ഞു. അത് കേട്ട ദ്രുപദൻ അത്യന്തം ആനന്ദിച്ചു.
