Wika ni Sanjaya: “Ang ubod-lupit na pagdakma kay Draupadī sa buhok, ang mapapait na sandata sa mga labanan, at ang maraming pagdurusang tiniis maging sa loob ng tahanan—iyan ang mapait na bungang lumitaw.”

The verse recalls emblematic acts of adharma—public humiliation and violent conflict—and frames them as sources of pervasive suffering, suggesting that moral transgression breeds misery both in war and in domestic life.
Sañjaya, narrating events and their moral weight, evokes Draupadī’s hair being seized (a remembered outrage) and links it with the harshness of warfare and the sorrows that follow even at home, underscoring the tragic consequences surrounding the conflict.
