तयोश्चैतदवज्ञानं यत्सा कृष्णा सभां गता । दुःशासनश्च कर्णश्च परुषाण्यभ्यभाषताम्॥५-८८-८१॥

And this was the affront to them: that Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī) was brought into the assembly, and Duḥśāsana and Karṇa addressed her with harsh speech.

english translation

दुर्योधनो भीमसेनमभ्यगच्छन्मनस्विनम् । पश्यतां कुरुमुख्यानां तस्य द्रक्ष्यति यत्फलम्॥५-८८-८२॥

Duryodhana confronted the high-spirited Bhīmasena; in the presence of the leading Kurus, he will see the consequence—the fruit—of that act.

english translation

न हि वैरं समासाद्य प्रशाम्यति वृकोदरः । सुचिरादपि भीमस्य न हि वैरं प्रशाम्यति । यावदन्तं न नयति शात्रवाञ्शत्रुकर्शनः॥५-८८-८३॥

For Vṛkodara, once enmity is incurred, does not grow calm; even after a long time Bhīma’s hostility does not subside until he drives his adversaries to a final end—he, the crusher of enemies.

english translation

न दुःखं राज्यहरणं न च द्यूते पराजयः । प्रव्राजनं च पुत्राणां न मे तद्दुःखकारणम्॥५-८८-८४॥

The loss of the kingdom is not my deepest sorrow, nor defeat in the dice-game; nor even the exile of my sons—these are not, for me, the most profound cause of suffering.

english translation

यत्तु सा बृहती श्यामा एकवस्त्रा सभां गता । अशृणोत्परुषा वाचस्ततो दुःखतरं नु किम्॥५-८८-८५॥

But that she—the tall, dark-complexioned lady—entered the assembly in a single garment and had to hear harsh speech: what could be more painful than that?
