न राज्यहरणं दुःखं द्यूते चापि पराजयः । प्रव्राजनं सुतानां वा न मे तद्दुःखकारणम्॥५-१३५-१६॥
The seizure of the kingdom was not my sorrow, nor even the defeat at dice; nor was the exile of my sons the cause of my grief.

But that dignified, dark-complexioned lady, weeping in the assembly, had to hear harsh speech—this, in my view, was the more grievous sorrow.

स्त्रीधर्मिणी वरारोहा क्षत्रधर्मरता सदा । नाध्यगच्छत्तदा नाथं कृष्णा नाथवती सती॥५-१३५-१८॥
Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī)—devoted to a woman’s dharma, noble in bearing, and ever intent on kṣatriya-duty—found no refuge then, though she was virtuous and had protectors.

तं वै ब्रूहि महाबाहो सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वरम् । अर्जुनं पुरुषव्याघ्रं द्रौपद्याः पदवीं चर॥५-१३५-१९॥
Tell him, O mighty-armed one—Arjuna, tiger among men, foremost of all who bear weapons: “Walk the path Draupadī has taken; stand with her cause.”

विदितौ हि तवात्यन्तं क्रुद्धाविव यमान्तकौ । भीमार्जुनौ नयेतां हि देवानपि परां गतिम्॥५-१३५-२०॥
For you know Bhīma and Arjuna well: when angered, they are like agents of Yama’s final doom; indeed, they could drive even the gods toward an extreme end.
