वैशम्पायन उवाच एवं सम्पूजयन्तस्ते कृष्णां प्रेक्ष्य सभासद: । युधिछिरस्य कोपात्‌ तु ललाटे स्वेद आगमत्‌,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--राजन्‌! जब इस प्रकार द्रौपदीको देखकर सभासद्‌ उसकी प्रशंसा कर रहे थे, उस समय कीचकके प्रति क्रोध होनेके कारण युधिष्ठिरके ललाटमें पसीना आ गया

Transliteration

vaiśampāyana uvāca evaṃ sampūjayantas te kṛṣṇāṃ prekṣya sabhāsadaḥ | yudhiṣṭhirasya kopāt tu lalāṭe sveda āgamat ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: As the courtiers, looking upon Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī), were thus honoring and praising her, Yudhiṣṭhira—angered on account of Kīcaka—began to sweat upon his forehead. The scene underscores the tension between outward restraint and inward moral outrage in the face of harassment and injustice.
