Shloka 33
पुनर्द्यूत-समाह्वानम्
Renewed Summons to the Dice-Game and Exile Wager
ततोअब्रवीत् तां प्रसभं निगृहा केशेषु कृष्णेषु तदा स कृष्णाम् | कृष्णं च जिष्णुं च हरिं नरं च त्राणाय विक्रोशति याज्ञसेनी
tato ’bravīt tāṃ prasabhaṃ nigṛhya keśeṣu kṛṣṇeṣu tadā sa kṛṣṇām | kṛṣṇaṃ ca jiṣṇuṃ ca hariṃ naraṃ ca trāṇāya vikrośati yājñasenī ||
Lalu dia menangkapnya dengan kasar, menggenggam rambutnya yang hitam, dan berkata dengan paksaan kepada Draupadī. Pada saat itu Yājñasenī menjerit memohon perlindungan—memanggil Kṛṣṇa, memanggil Jishṇu (Arjuna), memanggil Hari, dan memanggil Nara—menyeru kuasa dharma dan penjagaan ilahi terhadap penghinaan di balairung itu.
दुर्योधन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical collapse of public power when violence and humiliation are inflicted on the innocent, and it frames refuge (śaraṇāgati) as a dharmic response: when human protectors fail, one appeals to higher righteousness—symbolized by invoking Kṛṣṇa/Hari and the divine-human ideals Nara and the heroic Jishṇu.
In the Kaurava assembly, Draupadī is assaulted and restrained by her hair; amid this outrage she cries out for rescue, calling upon Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna (Jishṇu), Hari, and Nara—names that represent divine protection and righteous strength.
