Shloka 3
कामीकवने द्रौपदी-दर्शनम्
Draupadī Observed at the Kāmyaka Hermitage
दुर्योधनस्य पापस्य नित्याहंकारवादिन: । प्रवेशो हास्तिनपुरे दुष्कर: प्रतिभाति मे
duryodhanasya pāpasya nityāhaṃkāravādinaḥ | praveśo hāstinapure duṣkaraḥ pratibhāti me ||
Джанамеджая сказал: «Мне кажется, что для грешного Дурьодханы, вечно говорящего из гордыни и самовозвеличивания, вход в Хастинапуру должен быть чрезвычайно труден».

Educational Q&A
Prideful, ego-driven speech and conduct (ahaṃkāra) are presented as ethical faults that obstruct one’s acceptance and success in society; wrongdoing (pāpa) combined with arrogance makes even basic aims—like gaining entry or welcome—seem unattainable.
King Janamejaya comments on Duryodhana’s character, judging him sinful and habitually arrogant, and therefore doubts that Duryodhana could easily gain entry into (or acceptance within) Hāstinapura in the situation being discussed.
