पक्ष्मसंपातजे काले नकुलेन विनाकृता । न लभामि सुखं वीर साद्य जीवामि पश्य माम्॥५-८८-४१॥

When the time comes that my eyelids fall (in sleep), without Nakula I find no ease; O hero, behold me—I now merely go on living.

Janārdana, Draupadī is most dear to all my sons—nobly born, endowed with righteous conduct, and complete in every virtue.

Truth-speaking, she chose the world of her husbands over the world of her sons; abandoning her beloved children, she followed the Pāṇḍavas.
