शल्यस्य सेनापत्याभ्युपगमः | Śalya’s Acceptance of Command
तथा विवसनां दीनां स्मरन्त्यद्यापि पाण्डवा: | 'ट्रौपदी एक वस्त्र पहने हुए थी, रजस्वला थी। उस अवस्थामें जो वह भरी सभामें लायी गयी और दुःशासनने सब लोगोंके सामने जो उसे महान् क्लेश पहुँचाया, उसका जो वस्त्र उतारा गया और उसे जो दयनीय दशाको पहुँचा दिया गया, उन सब बातोंको पाण्डव आज भी याद रखते हैं
tathā vivasanāṃ dīnāṃ smaranty adyāpi pāṇḍavāḥ |
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ଦ୍ରୌପଦୀଙ୍କୁ ବିବସ୍ତ୍ରପ୍ରାୟ ଦୀନ ଅବସ୍ଥାରେ ସଭାମଧ୍ୟକୁ ଆଣି, ଦୁଃଶାସନ ଯେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ମହାକ୍ଲେଶ ଦେଇଥିଲା—ସେ ଅପମାନକୁ ପାଣ୍ଡବମାନେ ଆଜି ମଧ୍ୟ ସ୍ମରଣ କରନ୍ତି।

Educational Q&A
Public humiliation and violation of a woman’s dignity are grave adharma; such injustice does not vanish with time but remains a moral debt that demands accountability, shaping the ethical justification for later action.
Sañjaya notes that the Pāṇḍavas still recall Draupadī’s being rendered helpless and dishonored in the assembly—an event remembered as a central wrong that continued to motivate their stance in the conflict.
