शल्यस्य सेनापत्याभ्युपगमः | Śalya’s Acceptance of Command
तथा विवसनां दीनां स्मरन्त्यद्यापि पाण्डवा: | 'ट्रौपदी एक वस्त्र पहने हुए थी
tathā vivasanāṃ dīnāṃ smaranty adyāpi pāṇḍavāḥ |
سنجے نے کہا—دروپدی کو بےلباس سا کر کے، نہایت بےبس حالت میں دربار کے بیچ لایا جانا اور دُشّاسن کی طرف سے سب کے سامنے پہنچایا گیا وہ عظیم اذیت—اس رسوائی کو پانڈو آج بھی یاد رکھتے ہیں۔

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.
