Uttara’s Resolve and Draupadī’s Identification of Bṛhannadā as Charioteer (विराट पर्व, अध्याय ३४)
त्वत्कृते हाद्य पश्यामि राज्यं संतानमेव च । यतश्न जातसंरम्भो न च शत्रुवशं गत:,“आपके कारण ही आज मैं अपने राज्य और संतानका मुख देख पाऊँगा; क्योंकि पकड़े जानेपर मैं भयभीत हो गया था, किंतु आपके पराक्रमसे शत्रुके अधीन नहीं रहा'
tvatkṛte hādya paśyāmi rājyaṃ santānam eva ca | yataśna jātasaṃrambho na ca śatruvaśaṃ gataḥ ||
त्वत्कृते ह्यद्य पश्यामि राज्यं सन्तानमेव च। यतोऽहं जातसंरम्भो न च शत्रुवशं गतः॥
