Report of Draupadī’s Abduction and the Pāṇḍavas’ Pursuit
प्रतिनिक्षिप्य तं वीर॑ कृत्या समभिपूज्य च । अनुज्ञाता च राज्ञा सा तथैवान्तरधीयत,वीर राजा दुर्योधनको वहाँ रखकर कृत्याने उसके प्रति सम्मान प्रदर्शित किया और उससे आज्ञा लेकर जैसे आयी थी, वैसे ही अदृश्य हो गयी
pratinikṣipya taṃ vīraṃ kṛtyā samabhipūjya ca | anujñātā ca rājñā sā tathaivāntaradhīyata ||
将那位英雄安置于彼处之后，克利提娅（Kṛtyā，那以咒力加持而现的女形幻影）依礼向他致敬。随后，她得王许可，便如来时一般倏然隐没于众目之前——此举既宣告所受之命已毕，也昭示国王在此事中的同谋之责。

The verse highlights how extraordinary powers (kṛtyā) remain ethically charged: ritual efficacy does not equal righteousness. The king’s act of granting leave after the deed underscores responsibility and complicity—authority is accountable for what it commissions and permits.
A magically empowered being called Kṛtyā completes her task: she places the warrior at the intended spot, shows him formal honor, receives the king’s permission to depart, and then vanishes exactly as she came—signaling the end of her intervention.
