Traducción

Being dragged along, her body bent like a reed, she quietly said: "Now I am in my impurity, and I have but a single garment, O dull-witted one; it is not right to bring me into the assembly, O ignoble one." Then [Duhshasana], seizing Krishna by her black hair, said to her: "Call upon Krishna, and Jishnu, and Hari, and Nara for your rescue — I will lead you away regardless. Be it in impurity, O Yajnaseni, or in a single garment, or naked — you have been won in the game and made a slave woman; and with slave women, lust may do as it pleases."

Comentario

Duhshasana mockingly tells her to call upon Hari — and in his very mockery unwittingly points to the true Savior. It is telling that the scoffer's taunt turns into prophecy: the very one he tells her to call in derision will indeed come to her defense. The verse teaches that malice, in blaspheming, itself proclaims the Deliverer's name: "call upon Krishna, upon Hari" — and Krishna, Hari, will hear. Draupadi's utter helplessness — in her impurity, in a single garment, dragged by the hair — marks the point beyond which all earthly protection ends and only the Lord remains. When everything has been taken and all rights trampled, the cry to Him is heard most clearly; where human help runs dry, divine help steps in. The mocker said more than he knew.
