चतुर्दशमिमं वर्षं यन्नापश्यमरिंदम । पुत्राधिभिः परिद्यूनां द्रौपदीं सत्यवादिनीम्॥५-८८-४६॥
O subduer of enemies, for these fourteen years I have not seen Draupadī, the truth-speaking one, worn down by concern for her sons.
english translation
न नूनं कर्मभिः पुण्यैरश्नुते पुरुषः सुखम् । द्रौपदी चेत्तथावृत्ता नाश्नुते सुखमव्ययम्॥५-८८-४७॥
Surely a person does not attain happiness through meritorious deeds alone; for if Draupadī, of such conduct, does not attain enduring happiness, then the connection is not straightforward.
english translation
न प्रियो मम कृष्णाय बीभत्सुर्न युधिष्ठिरः । भीमसेनो यमौ वापि यदपश्यं सभागताम्॥५-८८-४८॥
O Kṛṣṇa, neither Arjuna (Bībhatsu), nor Yudhiṣṭhira, nor Bhīmasena, nor even the twin brothers were as dear to me as that moment when I did not have to be seen as a woman brought into the royal assembly.
english translation
न मे दुःखतरं किंचिद्भूतपूर्वं ततोऽधिकम् । यद्द्रौपदीं निवातस्थां श्वशुराणां समीपगाम्॥५-८८-४९॥
Nothing more painful has ever befallen me than this: that I, Draupadī, standing without proper covering, was made to approach the presence of my elders-by-marriage.
english translation
आनायितामनार्येण क्रोधलोभानुवर्तिना । सर्वे प्रैक्षन्त कुरव एकवस्त्रां सभागताम्॥५-८८-५०॥
I was brought in by an ignoble agent, driven by anger and greed; and all the Kurus looked on as I stood in the assembly with only a single garment.
