Indrajit’s Binding, Restoration by Viśalyā, and Counsel Restraining Rāvaṇa (Āraṇyaka Parva 273)
राजानं चाब्रवीद् भीमो द्रौपद्या: कथ्यतामिति । दासभावगतो होष पाण्डूनां पापचेतन:,तब भीमसेनने भी राजासे कहा--“आप द्रौपदीको यह सूचित कर दीजिये कि यह पापात्मा जयद्रथ पाण्डवोंका दास हो चुका है”
rājānaṃ cābravīd bhīmo draupadyāḥ kathyatām iti | dāsabhāvagato hy eṣa pāṇḍūnāṃ pāpacetanaḥ ||
แล้วภีมะจึงกราบทูลกษัตริย์ว่า “ขอให้แจ้งแก่นางเทราปทีเถิดว่า ชัยทรถผู้มีจิตบาปผู้นี้ บัดนี้ตกอยู่ในสภาพทาสของเหล่าปาณฑพแล้ว”

Educational Q&A
Wrongdoing against the vulnerable—especially an affront to Draupadī’s dignity—demands not only punishment but also public acknowledgment of justice. Bhīma’s demand that Draupadī be informed emphasizes restoration of honor and accountability of the offender.
After Jayadratha’s offense against Draupadī, Bhīma addresses the king and orders that Draupadī be told the offender has been reduced to servitude under the Pāṇḍavas—signaling their victory and the formal subjugation of the wrongdoer.
