Shloka 20
तत्र तत्र चराम्येवं लभमाना सुभोजनम्,मैं भिन्न-भिन्न स्थानोंमें सेवा करके उत्तम भोजन पाती हुई विचरती हूँ। मुझे जितने वस्त्र मिल जाते हैं, उतनोंमें ही मैं प्रसन्न रहती हूँ। स्वयं देवी द्रौपदीने मेरा नाम 'मालिनी” रख दिया था। देवि सुदेष्णे! आज वही मैं सैरन्ध्री आपके महलमें आयी हूँ
tatra tatra carāmy evaṁ labhamānā subhojanam | yāvat prāpnomi vastrāṇi tāvatsuiva prasīdāmi | svayaṁ devī draupadī me nāma mālinīti cakāra | devi sudeṣṇe! adya sāhaṁ sairandhrī tava mahale āgatāsmīti ||
“就这样，我辗转于各处，在不同人家服侍，因而得以享用佳肴。得了多少衣裳，我便以多少为足。昔日高贵的德罗帕蒂亲自赐我名号‘玛利尼’。苏德什那王后啊，今日仍是我——如今以侍女（sairandhrī）之身——来到你的宫中。”

The verse highlights ethical resilience in adversity: accepting modest means without resentment, maintaining contentment with whatever is obtained, and using humble service as a dharmic way to endure hardship while protecting a larger duty.
A woman identifying herself as a ‘sairandhrī’ explains to Queen Sudeṣṇā that she has been moving from place to place doing service, living on what she receives, and that Draupadī once named her ‘Mālinī’; she has now arrived at Sudeṣṇā’s palace seeking employment.
