Book 3, Chapter 34

Devanagari script

स नो राजा धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रो न्यपातयद्‌ व्यसने राज्यमिच्छन्‌ । दास्‍्यं च नोडगमयद्‌ भीमसेन यत्राभवच्छरणं द्रौपदी नः,भीमसेन! धृतराष्ट्रके पुत्र राजा दुर्योधनने राज्य पानेकी इच्छासे हमलोगोंको विपत्तिमें डाल दिया। हमें दासतक बना लिया था, किंतु उस समय द्रौपदी हमलोगोंकी रक्षक हुई

Transliteration

sa no rājā dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putro nyapātayad vyasane rājyam icchan | dāsyaṃ ca no ’ḍgamayad bhīmasena yatrābhavaccharaṇaṃ draupadī naḥ ||

Translation

ਯੁਧਿਸ਼ਠਿਰ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਭੀਮਸੇਨ! ਧ੍ਰਿਤਰਾਸ਼ਟਰ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਰਾਜਾ ਦੁਰਯੋਧਨ ਰਾਜ ਦੀ ਲਾਲਸਾ ਨਾਲ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਵਿਪਤਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁੱਟ ਗਿਆ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਗੁਲਾਮੀ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ; ਪਰ ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਦ੍ਰੌਪਦੀ ਹੀ ਸਾਡੀ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਬਣੀ।
