अवैक्षत स धर्मात्मा द्रौपदी पार्श्वत: स्थिताम्‌ । सा ज्ञात्वा तमभिप्रायं भर्तृशच्चित्तवतशानुगा

avaikṣata sa dharmātmā draupadīṃ pārśvataḥ sthitām | sā jñātvā tam abhiprāyaṃ bhartṛśaś-cittavaśānugā |

Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Tumingin ang makatuwirang si Yudhiṣṭhira kay Draupadī na nakatayo sa kanyang tabi. Siya—na laging sumusunod sa kalooban ng asawa at tapat na kasama—ay naunawaan ang ibig niyang ipahiwatig nang walang salita.

Educational Q&A

Dharma is shown through quiet self-control and attentive, respectful support: Yudhiṣṭhira communicates without harshness, and Draupadī responds by understanding his intention and acting appropriately, preserving dignity amid difficulty.

Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira looks toward Draupadī standing beside him; she understands his unspoken intention and, as a devoted companion, prepares to act in accordance with his need.
