Shloka 176
शल्यस्य सेनापत्याभ्युपगमः | Śalya’s Acceptance of Command
तथा विवसनां दीनां स्मरन्त्यद्यापि पाण्डवा: | 'ट्रौपदी एक वस्त्र पहने हुए थी
tathā vivasanāṃ dīnāṃ smaranty adyāpi pāṇḍavāḥ |
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Hanggang ngayon, naaalala pa rin ng mga Pāṇḍava kung paanong si Draupadī ay dinala sa bulwagang maharlika at ibinagsak sa isang kaawa-awang kalagayan na wari’y hinubaran—isang paglapastangan sa kapulungan na naging sugat na di naghihilom sa kanilang katarungan at dangal, at isang moral na dahilan na patuloy na nagpapaliyab sa kanilang paninindigan.

Educational Q&A
Public humiliation and violation of a woman’s dignity are grave adharma; such injustice does not vanish with time but remains a moral debt that demands accountability, shaping the ethical justification for later action.
Sañjaya notes that the Pāṇḍavas still recall Draupadī’s being rendered helpless and dishonored in the assembly—an event remembered as a central wrong that continued to motivate their stance in the conflict.
