Shloka 10
सत्यभामया द्रौपद्याश्वासनम्
Satyabhāmā’s Consolation of Draupadī
अनार्यकर्मन् कस्मात् त्वमिमां कन्यां जिहीरषसि | वज्िणं मां विजानीहि विरमास्या: प्रबाधनात्,'रे नीच कर्म करनेवाले दानव! तू कैसे इस कनन््याका अपहरण करना चाहता है? समझ ले, मैं वज्रधारी इन्द्र हूँ। अब इस अबलाको सताना छोड़ दे
anāryakarman kasmāt tvam imāṁ kanyāṁ jihīrṣasi | vajriṇaṁ māṁ vijānīhi viramāsyāḥ prabādhanāt ||
“O asurang gumagawa ng hamak na gawain! Bakit mo nais dukutin ang dalagang ito? Kilalanin mo ako: ako si Indra, ang may hawak ng vajra. Itigil mo na ang pang-aapi sa walang kalaban-labang babae!”

Educational Q&A
Adharma such as abducting or harassing a vulnerable person is condemned as ‘anārya’ (ignoble). A righteous person must confront wrongdoing directly, using firm speech to restrain violence and protect the innocent.
Yudhiṣṭhira rebukes a would-be abductor, calling him ignoble and ordering him to stop troubling a maiden. To intimidate and deter the offender, he declares himself to be Vajrin (Indra), the thunderbolt-wielder.
